The "disjointed" red/black wires that I claimed is the rumble motor is actually the battery tray! So please swap theses around when installing! Apologies! 00:57:10

Is there any consideration for creating a video for use of the GPStar's Pack Kit with other Proton Pack options? The HasLabs Pack is not an option for anyone any more. The options available to most people in 2024 is: the "Life Sized" version of the Spirit Halloween OR the QPACK 3D Print kit (or any other from scratch option.) While there were likely a few people who this kit would had been handy for in 2023... here in 2024, everyone looking at a new Pack build has to pretent the HasLabs Pack never existed.

Dude, when I got to the "format your SD card" I knew this was comprehensive AF. THANK YOU! You are the GOAT!

Can't wait for these to ship out! My anticipation is going crazy!!

Amazing, so excited and can't wait for the add on video

Thank you sir! FYI for the wand screw caps the swiss army reamer worked extremely well.

Wow, awesome video and awesome instructions.

We plan to adapt it to the spirit pack but that’s in the future and unsure when. We would like to see if there is a market for it first too

One thing i noticed is that the high sounding pur when you switch on activate doesn't wind up from a low pitched pur before it settles on the idle sound of it. I believe it previously did on the board a few months back but obviously less screen accurate. But I do love how it was in the film with it winding from low to its starting tone after switching activate. 🤔

Awesomeness 😊

#importantsafetytipthanksegon7 I was have some pretty serious issues getting connection between the wand and the pack when I built mine, using the essentials kit. Ultimately it boils down to the wires in the hose and wand handle going into the socket connectors. The clinko connectors are simply not meant for such a small gauge wire. To combat this, on the tips of each wire, I added a small bead of solder to increase connectivity between the wire and housing and give more surface area for the housing to “bite” the wire.

I assume you meant the neutrik connector and yes unfortunately they are quite thin. The suggestion we were throwing out on our fb group was to expose a bit more a fold it. Seems to be an easy fix for ppl.

Can you just add the pack board and reconnect all the stock wires? Can I also keep the stock speaker since I soldered an aux cable to it and have it connected to external speakers? I've heard the ninjatunes board is not compliant with this. I also have a Talentcell installed to power the board.

planning to get one set. probably the essential because of the hose issue with the stock unit. is there a different powercell bracket if i'm gonna be using a 6000mah battery?

Just got my essentials kit and I am working on installing them now. One thing that threw me off on in this video was the Micro SD card size requirements. Jono says you need at least "8gb" micro cards, but his manual says 2gb each. So, from I can tell, 2gb is enough.

@jonogunn

good catch!

I noticed that there was barely any sound coming from my neutrona wand so I opened it up cut and striped the yellow wires for the speaker so that they would be a cleaner (de-soldering left them warped and messy) and possibly have a better connection, now there's no sound from the wand at all. What did I do wrong? Update: I got the sound working again but it's still very quiet. Don't ask me what I did, I took a break after being up for 24 hours and when I woke it was working.

Will you be releasing more of these kits for sale? Or was it a one and done

Would magnets for holding the wand to the pack or magnets to allow for hot swappable external parts cause any damage to these internals?

if you are asking what features this kit offers please visit sonofagunnprops.com for more details or join our fb group (link in description) on what this kit offers. if you are referring to the "bare basics kit" in the video it's not that much different. mainly the hose stuff is not included and some extra soldering is involved

Can you use this mod without a pack?

How about instead of destructive removal you use a soldering iron to remove the parts which is the proper way to do it. Just a thought. You should give proper instructions instead of destructive instructions in case someone breaks the board accidentally because I am sure you won't be replacing them for following your instructions.

Oh man, installing the screws at an angle at the bottom of the pack (~31:40) is... That kinda hurts my soul. I get that the connectors dont fit the molded pack and stuff, which is an issue on Hasbro's end (not yours), but still... Material fatigue is a bit of a bitch when it happens.

Based on your responses and questions to my videos I’d say it’s safe to presume you are a beginner at this? Then no, it would be best to get the essential kit and speaker support kit along with the required parts you have to get on your own. The boards alone are more for DIY people who wish to purchase all the other stuff that’s needed on their own or have their own different set up. For you: But the required components not included: speakers, amp, sd cards, ground loop isolator (check my website) Then purchase from us: Essential kit Speaker support kit Then you mentioned you want the 28bargraph and 15 led powercell. You can buy these from fruttotechnology.com
