Sold/Expired Custom Mag-1xD for sale - 5th wave completed :-)

[wquiles]

Here are the initial pictures

And I already have my official list taped to my bench - this is what I use to keep me honest as to what I have completed and what is yet to be done

I also started to cut some of the hosts already. The 6D looks mighty big on the metal cutting band saw!

And this will be the first group - these are all cut at the same size (approx 160mm):

I am also making a few special ones, which I call the "mdocod special", which is a very short 1D, designed around mdocod's 3xAA to 1D adapter, along with the switch modification, and the deep tailcap mod (required part of this mod due to the very short body). All you need is to order the mdocod battery adapter from Eric directly:

I should have one or two of these specially modded mdocod special hosts in Black, available for sale pretty soon. If interested, please let me know.

Here is some work on one of the custom Digital Camo bodies:

Here is a picture showing the "deep tailcap" mod on the right, compared to the regular/OEM tailcap on the left:

Here are 3 of the ones I did for this wave:

For bigchelis's special host with the Kai "D" LiIon cell, I had to cut the body longer than my typical 1xD. Here in this picture you can see the mdocod's 3xAA adapter on top of the FM 4xAA adapter, and the caliper's jaws open to 3.74" so show how much longer this "D" LiIon cell is:

Here is the body already cut (in the middle), next to two standard length 1xD's:

Here is nailbender's completed host:

Here is the body grooving that I gave the Copper host that I am working on myself:

The 1D body I will be doing the tail mod like when I put 3 C NiMH in a 2D Mag. I thought my 1D was going to be shorter. Can you make it normal lengh please.

If it is too late then just send it over as is.

Thank you,
Jose

Unfortunately it is too late as the tube has been cut and re-threaded. That is why I wanted folks to check post #1 for any changes/mistakes, as that is the list I take to my "shop" when I am working on the custom pieces. I even cut a piece of steel to the approx. length to give me an idea of how big the cell was:

You stated that you wanted the shortest possible solution given the dimensions of the Kai "D" cell, so I tried my best to give you that. Like I showed in the picture above, the Kai "D" LiIon cell is much longer than a regular "D" and longer than the 3xAA and 4xAA adapters. To give you the shortest piece I could make, I already did the taipcap mod and counter-sinked the spring 0.5" deeper into the tailcap, but since the actual cell is longer, the resulting host was also a little bit longer.

If I misinterpreted what you wanted, then my most sincere apologies - please let me know when you get it. The tube is only about 1/4" longer than my normal tube, so it will probably work great for you. If it does not, I can make you a new one on my next wave and I will give you a discount on it, but I will need from you the exact length you want/need, so that I can give you a better fit

Here are acourvil's two host which I completed this morning:

And here is my 1xD Copper for my co-worker, which will be a b-day present for his dad. This is a Direct Drive P7 (with a low-dropout Diode in series [0.21Volts] in case they wire the batteries backwards), using Britelumens Deluxe P7 heatsink, and mcodod's 3xAA battery holder:
