The FW3A w 18650, is the same size and lower weight as my HDS Rotary w 16340. The FW3A adds Aux, batt check, Anduril, and a pocket clip, that HDS lacks:
Doing the T1616 upgrade is my next challenge. I have an FW3A waiting and received some T1616s this week. I’m just waiting for some adapter boards to arrive from OSHPark.
Anduril 2 can be installed on the old T85 MCU, even with a single AUX channel, but a whole lot of features have to be deactivated for it to fit - see here. The T1616 mod allows 3-channel (e.g. RGB) AUX and has enough space for a fully-featured Anduril 2 build.
It has all the things I like:
Tailswitch, Regulated Anduril, Firefly lows, Aux for the nightstand, DD 519a for the Tint DUV, 18650 for extra long runtime, great form factor, fully captive clip, and very low carry weight…
