Requested by: @Ian. [B]Introduction[/B] Hello again, here's my tutorial for another Baaron-DC-alike mod which I call J-Vic DC ("J" means "Japanese" (I think it kinda looks like a Japanese mod) and "Vic" is used because of its construction, which is similar to Vicgotgame mod (with some exceptions)). It's relatively cheap and may use spare parts (ZT tips after ZT mod, Supertips cap which is often unused and parts of Dr. Grip grip remaining after Waterfall mod). As usual, I'll try to make it brief and short so you won't read screens of text. [B]Finished mod:[/B]

[B]Tutorial[/B]
As long as this mod is very customizable, you can use any tips or tip packages you may want:
I'll describe only 1 method which I used - the method with ZT tips.
For a one side of this mod you'll need these parts:
They are: tape, 1 ST body, 1 grip for grip cut, 1 ZT tip, 1 small rubber thing from G3 cap, Dr.Grip grip.
Cut a piece of ST bodies of the length of your liking measuring from the backside (I cut 9.4 cm)
Cut pattern on your grip for grip cut and put it onto ST body.
Put G3 rubber thing onto screw-thread of ZT tip and put tip into ST body (push it hard).
Cut 1.7 cm of Dr.Grip grip and put it onto ST body.
Use tape if you want to make stripe near cut grip.
Repeat that with another set of materials.
Cut a piece (.6 cm) of ST body where shown*:
* - you can use Crayola SuperTips analog instead of ST cap.
Now cut about 2.3 cm of BRS body, add some tape of width of .6 cm and put a piece of ST cap on the center of this BRS piece.
Then stick together all 3 parts and enjoy your mod!

cool. How does the tips fit into the body if you use the hitec-c/signo-zt package? and typo: Customi[B]z[/B]able And in my opinion, I think mods like the Vicgotgame mod and this one are more like "customizable length" than "adjustable length"; adjustable length means that the adjustments are readily acessible and also reversible (meaning that it could be changed back easily without requiring new parts), while on the other hand the V-stic and this one cannot be reversed once the body is cut.

@daniel0731ex, Hi-Tec C + ZT (Hi-Tec C inside) package fits almost the same way as ZT tip (mod becomes about 1.5 mm longer), Hi-Tec C + ZT (ZT inside) package and Signo + ZT (ZT inside) package fit also well, and Signo + ZT (Signo inside) package version is too long and looks weird. I hope you've understood at least anything :lol: Thank you very much, I'm sorry for my English :lol:

great mod looks awesome :) for the grip cut do u just take scissors and cut a pattern into it?
-
Date: Tue, May 31 2011 22:24:12
Hmm...black SuperTip maybe? And I'm pretty sure PW SuperTips are the new kind. If you want the black strip to be a grip, use Signo broad or Gripmatic (profile's fine as well.)

Take an X-Acto knife. It's pretty hard and time consuming. Don't try it. You'll have wasted a perfectly good grip... http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=21894 -

@Supergirl, there's a lot of subs in Russia and I'm sure there's more all over the world, but here's a short list of well-known to me subs: No Problem..! Carioca Birello Carioca Superwashable (it's not the perfect sub, but it should work for this mod) Colour Express Unnamed subs *sigh* I'm late.

What's the difference between the knifes? (X-Acto and Olfa)
-
Date: Tue, May 31 2011 23:12:55
I think these companies are competitors, so there's no great difference between them. My father is an artist and he uses Olfa knives, so do I ^_^
