one stop mod reference shop

No worries, it serves two purposes, its easier to just link to this and not have to search to give an answer, and its easy reference for modders who can’t seem to fund a link. Just needs filling with any useful info hint hint. If you find a good post, throw it in here, someone else will benefit too. :wink:

Gords1001,

Great idea to keep a lot of the good mod builds linked in one easy to find spot, although I'd call this post more of a reference than a guide.

Speaking of guides, that's something I've been meaning to piece together now for over a year... I should start on that tonight.

Smallsun zy-t08 guide/info thread.

Smallsun zy-t08 thread with viffers resistor mod.

Mdxl-76 skyray a01 clone guide - current mods/driver mods/taicap mods - serious budget thrower guide.

I can sort that match, as I say, if we can stick all the usefull info links in here and get it stickied, we have a simple post for everything. Just a link and a brief description of the info is surely helpful, if it gets stickied, I’ll remove all my chat and would ask others to do the same, keep it a pure info thread.

Fantastic idea. Would it be possible to keep the links in the first post and put the authors name on the title?

My thought was, once the infos in here, I can gather it into specific posts - general skills, popular light specific info, mag mods etc, once that bits sorted, I’d askeach person to delete their post/chat so we end up with a reference sticky where we can click in, link a #post and hopefully guide people to the right spot. So any links you have, stuck em in here with a brief description, in a couple of days I can edit my posts and we end up with one topic with links to a series of guides, so please, try to be specific with descriptions of links, and try to keep the mods to stuff that doesn’t need a machine shop - if the guy needs that, they probably pretty much know what their up to…

Missed that bit, I’ve tried to credit authors in my link descriptions, please do the same, eg matches mini mag, or viffer “light mod” etc.

That was the thread I were looking for. After those XPE2 mods Match have shown I plan to order some from Cutter or maybe just stick with XPG2 mods till Chinese shops bring in XPE2s. Unfortunately I don’t have much used lights to break into, so this thread will be useful to follow successful mod hosts.

I need a twist head mod change tactical light with a good circuit. But quality lights usually start from $40 like Limintop TD12. so I’ll keep my eye on here for cheaper moddable lights.

Good idea pal,send me your email Gords.

DON…

Would the Anatomy of a 7135 driver fit? I answer quite a few posts referencing the threads collected. Some are mentioned above. I was hoping it would get stickied on the DIY page to make it easier to find but this is just as good, maybe better. I would add the suggestion that individuals bookmark your thread for rapid access. A sticky makes it easier for newbies to locate, “my subscriptions” I use to keep track of interesting threads, but bookmarks is where I keep items for quick access.

That would certainly be a usefull link. I’ll spend a bit of time later editing this into sections, then delete whatever is no longer needed. Once I’m happy with that, I’ll probably ask people to delete their bits so we’re not duplicating links.

I was thinking something like :-

Driver links:-

Mag mods:-

Common light threads:-

P60 hosts and drop ins:-

And so on. Please offer up any other suggestions/ links then I can get started on it tonight or tomorrow. :bigsmile:

Easy to link to my posts and they can look thru them.

Nice one guys, this is what I need, dragging my feet but if I give it a week, get as much in as possible, then I’ll start editing to group everything.

Anything you post, please add a small description and credit the author or yourself, since I work purely off my phone, it’ll save me a bit of a ball ache sorting things out, particularly if I can just copy and paste text under a header. Also, suggestions for headers and links to cell/battery reviews might be an idea. I guess I’m pushing it, but I’m thinking this could provide a great resource for both noobs and seasoned modders - I’m picking up a lot of info just from reading back into the older threads. I’m also going to find some of jack the clippers threads on lanyards and light customizing. Again because they provide a good start for playing about.

7135 driver hi only fault finding. Op, dct73
