  • Such an awesome upgrade for your wand!
    Turns it from toy prop to movie replica status (With other mods too hahaha)
    3D printed mounts were junk (As you will see in the video)
    Wish there was a instruction manual (I guess you guys have this video now)
    All in all I'm very happy and glad I was able to get this installed and running!

    Thanks for always being the sacrificial lamb of poorly documented installation instructions. We all owe you a debt!

    Great vid, and perfect timing since my Frutto bar graph just came in, too! I look forward to both replicating, and avoiding, your mistakes LOL
    I’ve been kicking myself for not getting the 3D printed mount when I ordered (can’t recall why not, for $3)… it kinda looks like maybe I wasn’t missing much. I guess we’ll see when I get in there. Of course, I’ll also need to figure out how to mount it without it, so there’s that.
    I’m with you on the plastic vent inserts… everyone makes a big deal out of removing the insert or cutting them out, but I fully agree it seems like a wise choice to keep in place, to protect the interior. Maybe the answer is to replace it with a simple clear panel inside?
    One more simple mod you can do while the wand is open, is sand the sharp corners of the external heat sync down, to round them off nicely like the actual wands were. Not sure why Hasbro left them sharp, since it’s no more effort to make them round, and probably safer and stronger, too.
    Curious about the bar graph cutting out like that. Hope that gets resolved for you! (And that mine doesn’t do it…)
    Did you already install your NinjaTunes board, or do you still have the stock HasLab board in the pack? I haven’t installed mine just yet. I ordered the GhostLabs wand keepalive, too, so I’m going have a lot of work to do, coming up…

      Yes, avoid all my mistakes hahaha! That's what the video is for 😁 Although I'm confused with my positioning of the bar... I swear I had it right but it ended up being upside down 😅

    Awesome video, awesome kit!! Fyi Jhono does have a install video on this bargraph. You had it right the first time lol must be backwards? And with the ninja tunes sound kit you can not turn up the bargraph/vibrations. If you do it'll mess with the ninja tunes kit. Scalarie bros have a newish video on this issue. Only reason I'm going GP Star. That and I've got a lot of fruto tech in my setup already. LoL absolutely love this 28 segment bargraph tho!!! It's so sweet!!!! Also I've been on the fence about the ghostlab42 wand keep alive!!! Really want there pack keep alive as well!! But i can't find it in stock anywhere. Looking forward to your video on it!!!! Like your style man!!!😂😂

      Really? When I messaged them (Frutto) on ETSY they told me they only have the pictures in the product page and to use that as a reference 😥 Hmmm hopefully Ninjatunes will rectify that issue with an update... Or by the time it's my turn to get one 🤞The wand keep alive I got (Which I'm replacing) works on the wand and also keeps the pack alive.. Kinda like a 2 in 1. Thanks again for watching! I appreciate the support!

      WoW a big thanks again for this video!!! Jhonos mentioned video was on the install of this bargraph but with gp star hardware.
      I installed mine tonight after work and mine had a backwards graph too!! Because of your video I checked before gluing. Also there was no instructions what so ever!!!
      Again your video saved the day!!!!
      I left my my window in and removed the painted lines. And fyi the other 1 3d printed bracket broke on me too!!! LoL 😅
      Excellent kit tho and excellent video!!!
      Thanks man.

    I installed the new bar graft that you are showing on your video, the bar graft works sometimes, I can't figure it out. Is there a problem with with the product. Please help , all is wired correctly.

    • @SquadCollector
      @SquadCollector  Před měsícem

      Which bargraph version do you have? Green board no markings, Green board with markings or Black board? Mine was green no markings and it had this issue constantly... but i have now upgraded to their latest black board V3 and that issue has disappeared.

    Hi just curious where you got the parts to modify your neutrona wand tip & if you made a tutorial video on that?

    • @SquadCollector
      @SquadCollector  Před měsícem

      GOt them from Ben of Kent Props on ETSY (BOK) and the acrylic tube tip also on ETSY. This is one mod I didn't do a tutorial on. I will film a video and do a walk through soon though.

    • @SquadCollector
      @SquadCollector  Před 29 dny

      I've done both. They work flawlessly. Make sure you're soldering clean without shorting any connections. Make sure all your wires are int he correct positions and no stray strands are shorting to other connections.

    I've got a question sir. Referring to the Ghostlab42 wand keep alive, I just ordered the only one I could find in stock & it's not for haslab pack. I'm guessing it'll still function fine just not keeping the pack alive? Is thus the kit/set-up you've got as well? Or did you luck out & get the pack compatible board?? Looking forward to that next video!!! 😂 this wand board might be a....tricky job. LoL

      Sorry for the late reply. I was lucky and got both his wand versions for the haslab (Large older one and small newer one) Did you end up installing what you got? Did it work?
