Hi all
i have ordered my 1st MT-G2 and now i need somthing to drive it with so can this driver TR-0124 from FT work and over drive it to that 5.1 current ?
It will work, what you will get from it I’m not sure but it will work nicely. The trustfire 3t6 driver also works nice and it can be found on DX and LightsCastle. It’s smaller and easier to make fit a lot of mods. The one you posted is a very deep driver so make sure it fits before you try and use it. I have used it to drive a single XM-L2 and it’s a nice driver but it was deeper than I thought it would be.
i think i have a good place for it in a 2D or 3D mag and if it really worked fine and gave the MT-G2 the volt it needs i may try to resistor mod it for about 6 to7A
so any one knows where is the sense resistors in that Driver ?
I don’t know where the resistor is but I do know that if you plan to get up to 9 amps you will need a ton of heat sinking. Also there is a thread around here on MT-G2 drivers.
I have done a bunch of MT-G2 mods so far and they are really a lot of fun. Good luck.
18650, isn't that a boost driver you linked to above? High is 800mA. How much higher do you think it can be resister modded to?
I don’t have any real good way to tell what they can be modded up to. I just do the mods and guess. These can be modded and with a MT-G2 they are fine. With a XM-L2 they have power surge problems and are unstable after 6amps or so I have been told.
Have you bought the exact driver you linked too and tried it with an MT-G2? It does not seem like the TR3T6 driver to me.
A modded 3T6 driver does not have any issues with multiple XM-Ls or a single MT-G2 over 6A as far as I have seen or heard of.
I have this exact driver, it will do 6 amps to the emitter with the 10 ohm pot mod with no problems from 2 cells.
It is a copy of the 3T6 driver.
Interesting. And the driver have these specs?
Dimensions: 0.79 in x 0.79 in x 0.51 in (2.01 cm x 2.01 cm 1.30 cm)
Can it be modded to do high amps to a single XM-l2 too?
It seems like you are referring to the 26mm wide 3T6 driver? (A driver I am familiar with.) The driver 18sixfifty linked to says the dimension are around 20mm diamater (and 13mm tall). According to specs its considerably smaller.

I had one a while back and used it with a single XM-L2 and tried it with an MT-G2 and it worked just like the regular 3T6. Nice little driver, I will be buying more soon.
I bought mine from DX but they were out of stock for quite a while. I just saw this one on lightmalls a few days ago and haven’t ordered any drivers from them yet.
i just bought a few of these driver to see how well it handles 4-6amps
I'm confused. How can a driver (linked in 1st post) that outputs 10.8v be used to drive a single xml or mtg2 (without modifying output voltage)?
Are the specs on the linked product wrong and it's actually a buck driver?
idk il try it out if not i can always use those drivers
Thats a boost driver that can drive up to 3 leds from 5v input at 800mA output, so wont be much good at 4-6A 
I didn’t think it worked with a single battery but I was wrong It does work with a single cell. Now I’m not sure if I used the first one with an MT-G2 or not. I have it in a ZY-T08 running a single XM-L2. I modded the carrier to series without even checking it. I bought it from a different seller though. But the one I have does work with a single cell and I didn’t know that. The specs from the other site that I bought it from were wrong.
I would check it with an MT-G2 but it was really a pain in the back side trying to get it to fit in the T08.
guys you have ignored the main Driver of this topic this one TR-0124 and it is not the one 18sixfifty posted all i need to know is can this driver provide the MT-G2 with volt requirements or it is desgined for low volt 3.5V emiters like sst90 and XML ?
any one ?
The output current is very high. An MT-G2 won’t handle 5A for a long time (maybe a few seconds). The volt requirements are not a problem of this driver.
