Hi!
I've got 2 spirit packs on order and the gbfans light kit in hand. I'm going to build packs for my 2 boys for xmas. However, I figure, 8yr old me would be dissapointed if a pack showed up that didnt throw actual particle streams, but i could live with awesome sounds and fx, like what is capable with the gbfans soundboard. The running lights are a bonus but i may spring for the soundboard.
But before i do, my question is, has anyone successfully mounted the necessary switching in the smaller wand, using the soundboard kit?
I've read pretty much every forum about it and most upgrade to a larger wand or use stock electronics.
It seems that I could wire the accelerate switch with a dpst switch and get away with that to keep the stock wand lights, but also route to the soundboard, then just install 3 more switches directly to the soundboard.
Is there enough room in the wand to do this, and am I overlooking something? I'm not going to buy 2 more soundboards and batteries and whatnot to get dissapointed that the wand cannot properly accomodate, then go nuts trying to build another one, I'd rather stay the course until we save up to do the whole wand properly. Any advice about switching (sizes and mod tips) would be really appreciated!
