I ordered 3 $75 mystery boxes. I realize there is a chance of getting one with sound which is great but I really need a stunt saber and a backup. I have 18 lightsabers now and all have sound except for my current stunt saber. So I have a question. Can sound be added at some point in the stunt sabers? More than likely after saber retirement. We can't use sound while competing but when I'm done with it and use it for display later I'd like to add sound if possible for use doing choreography and exhibitions.
Looking forward to getting these 3 mystery boxes. 1 coming on Monday and 2 coming on Tuesday. These will be my first Ultra Sabers and I've watched a ton of videos on them. They look extremely comfortable and I hear customer service is great. I'll be doing unboxing videos on them of course.
Also I saw a few videos of the LED getting pushed into the switch as it's free floating in the hilt. Is there a way for me to stop this from happening? I understand we beat the crap out of our stunt sabers which I'm sure is the cause of that happening and the normal person would probably never have a problem like that.
By the way Thank all of you at Ultra Sabers! I ordered all 3 less than a week ago and they'll all be here in less than a week from ordering to delivery! THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Craig

Hey there cjohnson, It is indeed possible to add/upgrade a stunt to sound. You can send it in, and US will do that. Another thing though is an Obsidian V4 sound board. It has a mute function. Welcome to the forum BTW.

That's good to know. I have an idea of a custom saber I want to build and US has all the parts and it will have all the goodies. I just have to convince the wife that I NEED another saber. I have 10 more coming right now including the 3 US. Lol
I'm looking forward to receiving the first 3 and seeing how they stack up against my current stunt saber. From what I've heard I know I'll be happy with them.

STAND BACK FOLKS! HE'S GOING ALL IN...LOL 10?! That's up there for all at once. If you're capable of doing the work yourself, and adept at soldering and such, you can do a DIY upgrade. That's what I do. Know that any alteration or amendment to the electronics before the one year warranty expires will void it. I'm confident/crazy enough though. So, rather than buying a completely new saber (if it's deemed that you cannot), you could just scoop up all of the required parts to upgrade one you already own.

Well I build cars from the ground up daily so I should be able to do it myself. Both of the ones I got yesterday are really comfortable hilts. They're definitely worth upgrading down the line. I'll be customizing them today but I'm going to do individual reviews on each hilt before I do.

I even remarked that, since I have a Dom V2. I also have a drill press though.

I'd guess a non-Obsidian sound board. Not something I've investigated, but I seem to recall it's possible based on a few projects I've seen.

It's possible based on some of the boards at TCSS, definitely not with an Obsidian board, though

Definitely there are soundboards that will fit it. My custom Dooku hilt soundboard would definitely fit. i'm doing a review of it tomorrow on my youtube channel.
