Headblade modding.
« on: September 22, 2007, 07:33:55 PM »
Being a PC modder for some time now [Seriously thinking about creating a HeadBlade case, or maybe even SBG. If I had the cash, school comes first.]

I was looking at my HB and I thought, damn wouldn't it be cool if I tricked this out with ultrabrite led with a waterproof switch and battery.
What do you guys think?

Well I found a switch I can cut down to fit, just need to pick the color of the LED's and where I am going to mount them, or just the one. I'm not sure how much battery I can fit inside this thing.

That would be sweet to see that mod.

Yeah I'd love to see a tricked out HB, that would be really cool. Maybe you could add little rims on the wheels if you have a Sport model O0

I'm too poor a student to be able to order that stuff off the HB site, I'm still amazed I found the classic at Lawton's. I've already started the process of modding it with my dremel. I have to pick up some resistors tonight and figure out what color led's I want to use, from what I have. It's gonna be 1337 though ;)

Are there such things as yellow LEDs?

I have most of the extra plastic dremeled out now, still can't decide color of led's. Trying to find a small rechargable battery [nearly impossible to find for something this small!]

Hey you should check out the thread called Pimp My Blade there were some neat ideas on there. Also I thought about useing some small watch type batteries and pulling apart my old vibrating razzor and putting the moter in the HeadBlade and the on off switch could be the logo on the front of the razzor.

I'm trying to find a viable waterproof option that is rechargable. If your looking for small electric motors pull a pager apart of a newer cell phone, lots of stuff to play ith  :x!

O K guys, I have a dilemma today my wonderful lay-day found the ever elusive HEAD BLADE SPORT!!! anyway, now that I have this I have two options. Continue my mod of the classic, or do a little redesign and mod the sport. Thoughts? I'm going to attach some pictures of the two switches I am looking at using too.

Personally I am leaning towards using the classic because its "expendable" but I would have an easier time putting the aviation style switch on the sport.

Stay with the classic

The reason i say this is it'll allow you to work out all the kinks without destroying the sport that took you forever to find
