let me know how it goes was thinking of getting a black one!!

Some of us have been waiting 9 1/2 months. Optimism is in short supply. Of course they're gonna work on the remainder while they wait, but to ship them all at once? It could happen, I guess. It doesn't seem fair, but why should you wait just because we had to. Yeah, that's the attitude I'll go with. At least I got my Stinger today so my 26650s are gonna get their first workouts.

Geez the guys over on the Shockwave forum seem to be geting a bit antsy talking about some have waited 9 1/2 mths..i hope the ELA dosn't go down the same road...shouldnt seeing how super T is machineing in house now. lol but still i hope not this is my first serious mod and hopefully last besides a 10440.

Mabey the ELA will ship before the Shockwave... now that would be something....

I redesigned the Kick insert sleeve a bit with a bit of indented ledge for more battery clearance (i don't want the sleeve to make contact with the battery positive thus causing a short and since we have a CNC now, i thought why the heck not, its only money...lol). Also, if you look in the video on the tool box, you'll see the little brass plunger, those are the plungers that the Rhodium platers couldn't get the Rhodium to take on. We just got the rest of the tooling in today for those and will be running those this evening and tomorrow and then we'll send them off to the platers.

There is something deeply gratifieing in looking a cnc do its job :D Still I did mostly stalk the dummy... Hope the platers do a swift work of it.
I was thinking the same thing, I was also thinking how unsatisfied I would have been if the video cut off before the sleeve dropped in the part bin.

It's good, I got silver. It's all aluminum and the threads all badly needed lubricating, but the sleeve that lets you use a kick or not without changing the height is the reason I got it. I should note that Super T's blue 26650s don't work in it natively as the button on top is too short, unless you use a spacer which is not ideal. A certain orange battery does work, and both work with the Kick installed. It's got nowhere near the quality the shockwave will have I'm sure but I needed to try out these batteries..

WOW....Nice .. so the battery sort of seats itself?

Good mornign Kami, I'm not sure i understand what you mean? The battery just inserts from the top, constant pressure is kept on it by the spring loaded plunger in the top cap. The plunger part is the part that the platers couldn't get good ahesion to of the Rhodium plating and rhodium plating can't be stripped without damaging the base metal, hence why we have to machine a new batch to be plated. The other two parts in the plunger assembly plated fine.

I love that Kick sleeve...smooth bore/no threads to pass that tear at the Kick....

forcedfuel - I think she meant in that groove in the bottom of the Kick insert ....

Yes, Blu is correct, my thought was the battery may seat itself into the "ledge" making the assembly a sweet secure kick housing :)
