I want this! (shorty C8)

Just throwing this idea out here:

So what we ‘need’ is a 18350 tube for the Convoy C8, or for the Jaxman M8 for that matter (i believe they can ‘lego’ [edit] apparently they can not lego…).
Just a straight 18350 tube with knurling would look cool too, but i just photoshopped a picture of my C8.

No, C8 v2 and v3 cant lego M8.
Maybe you will be satisfied with shorty X6?

I like it! Add an e-switch on the head and it would be perfect.

The C8 tube is pretty thick

you could get the tube milled to the correct lengh with a cutout on the inner side
with a spacer glued inside the tube should be strong again

That doesn’t look as good as a short C8.
The head of the X6 is too long for it.

Thinking about that, but don’t want to ruin a tube (when it fails).
I would try it if i had a spare C8 tube.

Yeah, that though crossed my mind too.

you go about 1.5mm on each end within the knurling
you go 3mm tube thickness there

so if you mill a bit less than 1mm thickness and have a ring to glue in
nothing should go wrong

other would be mill the outside flat and add a ring outside

Shorty D1 not good enough?

That’s adorable! And really, it’s more than enough reason to do the mod :smiley: Although I can’t say I see much practical value in such a low-cap battery in a thrower, exactly the kind of torch that stays on the longest when used, and the head’s size is the main obstacle to pocketing it, not the body – if anything, it helps pocket the C8, at least like this:

Good use for a coin pocket if you have to lug a C8 around :sunglasses: (assuming the coin pocket of your pants fits an 18650 tube, natch)

Still a dang cute design, and if this was an option on an M-series Convoy, I’d love to see it produced :partying_face:

I agree, Jack, but it’s just for looks actually.
It just looks great. :slight_smile:

In that case, shorten a Convoy L4 instead.

The L4 is the same size and shape as the C8 but is a slight upgrade with nicer machining. I just wish the side switch was the rechargeable feature-type of switch that Convoy uses on other models.

That’s too cute. I want one!

Why not an Emisar D1 with 18500 or 18350 tube?
