Update time again. today I tested the blaster core v4 a bit and started to understand it pretty well. I just am waiting to hear back from erv on how to wire my hall effect sensors, as the pinout is a bit beyond me (only 3 pins and they've got me confused).
here's the rear sight without the glob of JB weld.
here's the little knob that does nothing with the glob of jb weld removed.
here I have the blaster drying from it's 4th coat of paint (1 primer that doesn't count, 1 silver coat, and 3 flat black coats just to ensure every inch was covered).
here's a box full of greeblies drying from their coat of flat black.
here's the side of the blaster that you almost never see. I wanted to show off the silver that I left on the bolt. Looks great in person.
and......
wait for it....
u sure you're ready?
okay... tried to warn you that your head might explode.
last chance...
and if you're still with me and your head didn't explode, then you must have been a survivor of the K3GR1 thread. :D
that's all for now. The grips should be on the way to me and the mag cylinders (which I learned so much about from erv's christmas CF game) are on my bench waiting for one tab to be jb welded and then maybe another coat of paint. the original painter got lazy and didn't do the bottom side of the rotating capacitors. ::)
So other than that, I have all of the led, I just need to order batteries, a speaker to replace the one I'm using from my stock, and a bunch of stuff from mauser (resistors, limit switches as a backup, recharge ports, etc.)
