Full hosts are better. And include copper star for LEDs. But price…
I like this, similar to the vague idea I posted in the S2 pill thread, but actually designed properly. And the C8 would be a better platform for something like this than the S2/S2+. So I am interested in one of these.
The M2 might be another one to look at for a custom triple head. Bigger than the S2, but still more pocketable than the C8.
+1… The M2 has one of the beefiest tube I’ve seen in any light.
The M2 appears to have square threads, which I can’t presently cut due to tooling limitations. Convoy C8 V2 / V3 is nice and cheap, has a great finish, a thick tube, and I can cut the threads. The tailcap end might be a trapezoidal thread though, it is hard to tell, but no matter in this case, and no matter if I made a host from scratch since it wouldn’t need to be compatible.
Just wanted to say you’ll had me at Copper and Quad. With the Cree XP-G3’s coming out this would be a perfect little wonder light.
Nice project! I always wanted a triple or quad led light. I have S2+ and C8 so I’m good with any of them 
If required I could give you some high resolution images (36mp) taken with a macro lens of the various threads on the M2 and the newest C8.
I would still like to see a version built for the S series though, the S8 tube has triangular threads.
Put me down for one.
Any chance of getting one to suit an XinTD C8? If not, I will make do with the Convoy, I just prefer the XinTD.
Put me down for 1 please khartod quad c8
Not trying to derail this project or anything but heres a thread close up of my Convoy M2 
I’m interested in Khatod version. I’m a little concerned about it being real top heavy. I’d like to see lots of very deep cooling fins to help lighten it up and aid in cooling.
Will, the M2 threads don’t look like that at all in the photo from MTN’s product page. I suppose that’s the tailcap end though in MTN’s photo. Anyways I’ll look into the M2. It’s a good suggestion. If I do an M2 head I think I would like to change the design so that it looks more like the stock M2 head, kind of like how my C8 head looks like the stock C8 head to an extent. Sure, it’s not particularly original, but it’s going to make for heads that look like they are meant to be on there.
Doubtful. I am not sure there would be widespread appeal since it’s a $30 flashlight that isn’t available as a host and the stock head would be ditched to make for a light that’s otherwise pretty much the same as a $12 Convoy C8 host in this context. On second thought, yea I’ll cut you one if it’s got triangular threads. I am ordering a XinTD C8 anyway soon to see about making some copper heatsinks for it, and because I want one. 
It should be fairly balanced with the thick C8 tube and tailcap and an 18650 in there. I think you’ll still be able to put it on your dogs nose for photographs or illuminate the wire during your tight rope act or whatever you need to do. The head is not large so there can only be cooling fins as allowed by the available dimensions of the head unless the head is made bigger. A bigger head with bigger fins is going to be heavier, conflicting with your weight concern, unless it is made from aluminum.
The only thing that makes a Xintd a Xintd is the head. The body tube is just a tube.
You could rebalance it by asking me very nicely to make you a wood handled 2x18650 tube for it(shameless plug) The added copper cries out for a more powerful led to keep it warm. The 502b mod from last summer ended up balanced on the index finger even with all the added copper.
Which reminds me of a completely unrelated item. I like the B158 but the brass pill is somewhat loose so I was wondering if you would put an improved version of it on the possible pills list. It’s already fairly good sized but needs better thread contact.
Absolutely, but I decided that I’ll cut him one since it wont be that much trouble. Will probably take me 30-45 extra minutes of work to pull it off…
Put me down for one copper with the Khatod optics, thanks mate.

I am in for one with a Khatod. Ready when you are.
Waiting on MTN to get the cutter boards. Should be pretty soon. I’ve determined that my price is too low at the quantity I’ll sell so I increased it… I removed the interest list in an attempt not to peeve anyone.
I’m still in.
I honestly don’t remember what the old price was, but the new one is fine. Im still in for a khatod
