Built a Trustfire Mini 01 triple today with some spare parts i had.
Copper & QTC pill in the tail for variable output, Also made a copper head spacer.
I didnāt realise the 3 XP-G2 were different tints until i had it put together, doh - i think thereās maybe a 2B, 2C and 1A in there, not entirely sure. :-/
This bothers my CDO so i will call it an intended tint balancing feature
Also ground off the keychain attachment and installed a magnet in the tail and some heatshrink around the body.
Kinda forlorn here since I donāt have the time to do any modding, as we are moving to a new home, and all my parts and tools are put away.
I just replaced the reflector on my original first-ever high-power LED flashlight purchased, an original UltraFire 501b, with an EZ-900 XR-E R2 emitter. I swapped the P60 OP reflector with a spare SMO I had handy. I had forgotten what kind of beam this light would make in this configuration. It was slightly ringy, but not as bad as I had expected. Now, it has a very intense and rather well-defined hotspot, making it a surprisingly good thrower. I may eventually add a fourth 7135 to the driver, pushing it just a little bit harderā¦
I put an xpg2 into a DST with a 2S, 5A buck driver, finally. Just need to bypass the tail spring to wrap it up. Also prepped a Jacob A60 to receive a dedomed xpg2 because I may have fried the previous oneā¦ whoops.
I have one that I offered to sell a while ago, and still might sell. The biggest issue is the shipping will add $10-15 probably. (and I did a few āmodsā to it and made it a little ugly :SICK: ) lol
Haha, it has to come to that! I just kick myself for not realizing the potential of those lights. I know Iāll come across one at a garage sale, some day.
Removed a rubber grip sleeve from a budget light and applied it to my new Zebralight SC63w.
The SC63w is a nice light. Very bright for an unmodded light of its size. Unfortunately, it completely lacks knurling and squirts out of the hand like a greased pig. Grip sleeve doesnāt look pretty, but it solves the problem.
NOT flashlight related: This RC car has a motor with a plastic pinion (the gear tooth that attaches to the shaft of the motor) . The pinion started slipping after a while and eventually slipped all the time so the car sucked. Grrrr. Crazy glue worked for a couple charges but not more. I also have a V911 helicopter which I bought two spare, main rotor motors for. The V911 motor is about 1 1/2 times the size of the car motor, but, it has a metal pinion, so I thought it best to risk destroying the car than to wait a couple months for a new car motor that will likely give the same trouble againā¦ So, I cut off bits and pieces of the motor compartment and eventually shoo glued in the new motor! It works and is more powerful than before!! (buuut, the motor isnāt placed perfectly right so there is a little more friction than should be. Iāll see what a heat gun will accomplish later ) Sorry, no pics yet.
today I stacked some chips for the ready. Removed 2 7135ās from Convoy S2+.
Installed Qlite into S3 for Heather. Going to work on my second grip ring for C8
