Just ordered everything this morning (except for the blade).

I found out I will need to use a resistor instead of the buckpuck....1.2ohm 3w since my power source is 4.5v (3 AA batteries).

The conversion kit does come with a heat sink. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (dengar) http://mnforce.yuku.com/sreply/32520 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:07:35 GMT http://mnforce.yuku.com/reply/32496/t/building-a-custom-saber.html#reply-32496 feeds@yuku.com (masterbean) http://mnforce.yuku.com/sreply/32496 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:22:49 GMT http://mnforce.yuku.com/reply/32424/t/building-a-custom-saber.html#reply-32424


The switch is in working order. The battery pack is oaky. So is the speaker, but I will not be adding sound until down the road a bit.

Here's my shopping list.
