This is good..this is good. Problem is: 1)You made a Dr.Bictory 2)Bic caps arent applicable for everything, even if they fit 3)Your asthetics arent that great. Try using Cartoon Comssa caps, those are clearer, thicker, and more better. But good, the (first?) LED tutorial ive seen. evar.

Coming from one of the competitors in the World Modding Tournament. LED mods really are not practical at all for mainstream usage. The biggest problem with creating LED mods is the on and off switch. Not all barrels can be made to have a clicker switch like Kam's LED Fir3Fly. (Even mine used a push click.) Mounting the stuff in the grips is very sloppy imo. Either way it's too long and heavy as it stands to be practical for spinning.

he means that it looks like it'll fall apart while you're spinning it pretty much. There's room for improvement but i see where you're going with the concept ^_^ Just a little bit more work and it'll look awesome.

ya, I can't really test it because of the fact that im new to spinning and can barley do combo's but it hasn't fallen apart yet, with wipers and that kinda stuff its a bit flimsy

mm... i like the concept but... it looks a bit unstable, i might use commsa caps or something

ya im working on a idea for v 2.3 that will be much much much better, i just need to get the materials, im making a switch and keeping the batteries in the caps, it will be good if i can do it'

I agree with Imatt plus there's the risk of breaking the bulbs when your spinning it if you drop it. It looks good though.

How about turning the cap to On/Off the LEDs? I think I saw a video of a mod that does that (It spam LEDs through the whole body though)
