Yes is could. I would have to remove the bracket which holds the sling (no big deal). I will try and do that in the next few days....sure would look cool...

DO IT!

You are one of the few who can LEGO such massively expensive items, it would be great of you to give up pics of every combo.

Naturally beamshots of the combo's would be awesome too!

So how many CR123's does this baby take? Is it like the Beast II's 20 cell insanity?

More so....Military grade 12volt batteries..with cables:devil:

The Hellfighter/Hellfire does not have a battery case so to speak.

There is a plug-in screw-in jack on the back that has cables to go to your power supply...

Exactly...
Two or one BA-5590 or similar, rechargeable BB-2590 (my personal choice) or any 12-V vehicle accessory socket. Will post a picture of the cable later (still waiting for mine to arrive). Also as soon as McMaster drops off my Retractile Cord the Hellfighter will be powered by a very portable A123 Pack. Figuring out the wiring took some help from SF...

Here is a power source alternative to the traditional military batteries. A123 packs. This makes the Hellfighter mobile with substantial weight reduction :)

VERY NICE! Thanks for sharing.

What do you estimate the runtime to be on this set-up?

Seery,
Conservatively I would estimate 40min for a 4S1P pack but I will do a runtime test over the weekend.

I just got back in from a little test run and I am amazed a the throw of the Hellfighter compared to the Beast II (and all my other HIDs). Output is less than that of say a Polarion or BB but what a spot!!! This thing was build for throw.

Cheers.

PS. Post 1: Added some pics of the Beast II head on the Hellfighter body. Kind of cool looking...
