[E1320]

I made my ultimate C3 it's a stainless C3 XPG R5 3 mode low, medium, high with no flashies it pulls 1.09 amps on a 14500 Flame and 1.95 amps on a Duraloop on high.

I bought this Trustfire SA-2 from DX.

I did the strobe delete mod on the SA-2 pill.

Trustfire R5-A3 (SA-2) strobe delete and XM-L conversion.

I figured I would make a post to make it easier for owners of the Trustfire R5-A3 to find.

I removed the pill from the stainless C-3, cleaned up the threads and installed the SA-2 strobe deleted XPG pill and it fits perfectly. I then tied a green tritium tube on it with fishing line and I have my version of the ultimate C-3.

Next install the old C-3 Q5 pill in the SA-2, it also fits perfectly and sell it.
