LOL
if you want a magnetic rotary w 18350, this IS the way to go, if you appreciate a beam with a hotspot for general EDC
and at the price M4DM4X is proposing… I think its a great deal… Bird in Hand, go for it, then beat the bush and someday you may do better, if you can find an original, that weighs less, or a Titanium version, that has more Bling
did I mention the new one has Trit Slots? How can you say no? LOL
if you can settle for electronic ramping, a D4 might be OK, if youre ok with that beam style, and the potential to roast nuts
or if you can settle for a 4 mode triple with onboard charging, still w 18350 capability, there is the Mecarmy PT-16, but it does not have a ramping UI, nor a sublumen mode
Today, knowing what I know, the RRT-01 is a BUY!
its not perfect, but, it is here now
Ok, I bit the bait. I blame Jon and Martin for this. Will get back to you all with potential modifications summary later after teardown.
I’m thinking to sell upgrade kit rather than modified one. Time flies faster and my third hand still doesn’t seem to show up anytime soon.
Besides already getting a new emitter put in mine, I now have it broke down and am going to fill in the small detents with some lead. I was taught how to braze with lead by a old body man years ago. He didn’t like body filler and refused to use it. So I think I am going to get those detents filled in. I am sure it will take a bit of work to get it all smoothed out but, I have time and I am in no hurry. Think I will see if I can rid the light of that max brightness detent as well. Haven’t looked at it close enough to see if that will be doable. Not going to try and boost output. It is just fine for me the way it is. No need to give myself a reason to burn through cells even faster.
Guess I will see how it goes. I don’t foresee any problems but, ya never know.
The post says that 2x12mm are too long and need some grinding. It says that 2x10mm should be fine, but I can only find 2.5x10mm. Anyone who has the light at hand, do you think that 2.5x10mm will fit without grinding?
I did find 2x8mm trits seem to exist in a few places and 2x6mm at mixglo. I’m going to wait and see how I like the light first since it’s so hard to find an exact fit.
I think this is a European fishing trend cause I fish and shops around here would not know what you meant and send you to look at gun sights or something.
The fishing rod rests on that device and the fishing line goes in that tiny inner wheel. I guess when it senses line rolling it will raise up and possible alert the fisherman in other ways too.
As a kid we just clipped a bell to the end of the rod and I’m not even old enough to begin sentences this way.
