Hello
I'm new to this hobby and very much wanting to get a saber of my own. My question here is how easy is it to upgrade your hilts to functioning sabers with lights and sound? My plan is to buy a hilt and upgrade it over time seeing as this method always seems to work out cheaper. I have worked with electronics before so I'm no stranger to soldering and stuff like that. So, yeah. Would it actually be cheaper for me to DIY instead of getting a fully assembled Hero tier saber from Saberforge? The hilt I'm considering atm is the Redeemer which I eventually plan to upgrade to having sound and a 12watt+ Mint Green LED. Any info on these hilts and customizing them is greatly appreciated, thanks |

Well, it depends a lot on what parts you put in it: LEDs, Board, etc. There is a lot of different options out there, some cheaper than others. It all depends on what you want. Brighter saber? Tri-Cree XPE2 is the brightest out there, but just the LED is 20$. Do you want to be able to switch soundfonts? Do you want Flash on Clash? In hilt recharge? A Crystal focus board, which is a good exemple, is 150$. 150$ is the price of the upgrade from Warrior to Champion.
Depending on what you want, it could be cheaper to DIY. It could also be more expensive. I know this is a very vague answer, but it's the truth hehe! |
