First ever build

Welcome to BLF! Let us know how your build goes. :wink:

Thanks for the warm welcome :slight_smile:

Since I live in The Netherlands, I have to find a place where to get these parts. If not I could always order them in China.

It's nice to see you, Witte!

Hi Witte, welcome.
Nice to see some else from the Netherlands :slight_smile:
Looking forward to your build.

Welcome to BLF!!

I second what these guys have said, I have some C8’s with an XP-L HI & FET + 7135 Driver - 17mm - MTN-17DDm .

You will not be disappointed…. :wink:

So, all parts haven been ordered.
Let the waiting begin :wink:

The waiting is the hardest part :wink:

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Now the holidays are over I hope that all the packages arrive soon.

The first one arrived yesterday…

Yeah… mine are still slowly trickling in. :+1:

any progress on your mod ?

I still new here, what makes me happy is that I can get most of the components easily !

As said before, the waiting is the hardest part :slight_smile:

Not yet, just got the host in the mail.
Still waiting for the other parts.

do you have thermal paste? You should put that underneath the mcpcb(the copper plate the led sits on).

I already read that somewhere, I have some thermal paste left from my pc :slight_smile:

very good. not nice if you have all the parts and forget one thing :confounded:

Do you have a charger and battery already?

I have some nice powerful jumper cables… :wink: Highly recommend you getting some… lol

Yep, have been using 18650 for many years already.

Just a small update, the LED got lost in the mail.
So I need to order a new one… the waiting continues :frowning:

Hate it when that happens! My memory is bad enough that if the package takes too long to arrive I forget what it was for when it finally shows up!

The frustrating part is that I got the wrong host, I ordered black but got Tan.
So I am waiting for the new host, and the LED is lost :frowning:
Now looking to buy an other one, hope that one arrives quickly.
