    Welcome to the HS MX Tutorial!

    This is the first tutorial by me, iamk34n3. (That means go easy on the flaming.)

    Before we start, this isn’t the official tutorial for the HS MX. The original mod is made by Mr. LSC and this method is how I believe it is made. Oh and before I forget, much props to arthurrhodes for also making the mod and helping me clarify things.

    Here are some basic stats:
    18~20 cm
    Spins fairly nicely. Don't really have anything to compare it to, but it sorta spins like a 3 tipped MX^2
    Weight: MXCOG=COP

    Well, on with the tutorial.

    1. Gather your materials.
    a. Materials required:
    i. 1x RSVP Sunburst/RSVP
    ii. 1x Metal G3
    iii. 1x HGG
    iv. 2x Anyball/Profile grips

    2. Disassemble the pens. Keep the parts in the picture.

    3. Take the RSVP body and file down the front. Also, thicken the front with tape.

    4. Take your RSVP grip and cut off the first section of the grip. Slide that onto the front of the pen.

    5. Take your HGG grip and cut off the first section of the grip as well. Slide that onto the front of the pen.

    6. In addition, cut off another section of the HGG grip. Save this piece for it will be used later.
    7. Take what you have left of the RSVP grip and cut as shown in the picture. Slide that onto the front of the pen.

    8. Take what you have left of the HGG grip and slide that onto the front of the pen.
    9. Now take your Anyball/Profile grip and cut the grip into sections of 3,6, and 2.

    10. Use the section of two and slide that on top of the connection between the cut RSVP grip and the HGG grip.
    11. Now, this step is to test how long the G3 cap should be cut. Put the HGG tip onto the front of the pen and the G3 tip after that. The lip of the G3 tip should line up with the HGG grip. If it doesn’t, it means that you did not cut off enough of the HGG grip. Now slide the Anyball/Profile grip on top of the G3 tip. It should look something like this.


    12. Now measure the space between the Anyball/Profile grips and cut the G3 cap to that length. File/sand down the G3 cap as needed and slide that on top of the HGG grip.
    a. (Adding tape on top of the HGG grip can be done at this point.)
    b. (In addition, you can actually put an insert there. [Props to pholord])

    13. Now use teflon tape/hot glue/super glue to attach the HGG tip/G3 tip to the front of the pen. Slide the Anyball/Profile grip back over and you have completed the front of the pen.

    14. Screw the RSVP back plug onto the pen and put an insert in.
    15. Now take the RSVP/Sunburst cap and remove/completely file down the clip. In addition, put the remains of the RSVP grip and HGG grip in the cap.

    16. Take the 6 Anyball/Profile cells and slide that on top of the RSVP cap. If it is too hard, cut the profile into smaller sections. (The picture is wrong. There should be 6 sections.)

    17. Repeat with the other Anyball/Profile grip. This time use fewer sections than 6 and put that on top of the Anyball/Profile already on the cap.

    P.S. Props to CaliMartinio for proofreading the tutorial for me.

    I think he means you can put the white tape on the hgg grip.

    Date: Wed, Dec 31 2008 07:09:38

    @h&n it should cost roughly 7-8 dollars depending on the rsvp...but lol not that expensive tongue.gif

    nice tut keane tongue.gif probably as close as you can get without the actual tutorial...so nice thumb.gif

    how does it spin tho? it shouldn't back heavy like the mx anymore right?

    It's decent to spin. Nope, COG=COP. Well at least it is on both of mine.

    Looks nice! thumb.gif

    I'll try it when I get more G3's.

    I know that this is a sub for the real HS MX, but just looking over the one on PDS's website, it looks like Mr. LSC used a Hybrid Gel Roller tip(new version) on the front.

    I doubt it because he would have inluded the pen in the picture like he always does with the other mods.

    The grips you put on the cap should balance out the weight.

    how heavy is this mod? I'm interested to make it tongue.gif

    Date: Sun, Jan 4 2009 22:22:21

    Just made one, and its a pretty good mod imo. Good weight and balanced. My only problem is that its kidna hard to do wipers and infinities since the cap, but there not impossible to do with it.

    its a really flexible mod. there isnt a tip in the cap so you could add one if you wanted to. and there is also room in the front for another tip. so you could make it lighter or heavier.

    How much of the HGG grip do i cut? huh(1).gif

    I doubt my tinted g3 will look nice with the RSVP.

    he only uses the hgr in his silver and black one. he prolly thinks "im using the silver grip in the hgr, might as well use the hgr tip as well"

    but for the rest (other colors), he is using the g3 tip.

    The tutorial isn't good ^^.

    In the cap you have the long part of a g2 system and the g3 tip reverse on it : like that
    -- (end cap)
    II (long part)
    V (tip)

    The tip is holding by the grip (that why you can't see on picture from pds)

    If you reverse the inktube to write, the inktube feel into the tip and hold it.


    For the front, there is glue, so i can't remove the tip sorry

    i made this mod, and it is front heavy without the anyball grips on the back, but otherwise it spins very well happy.gif

    i got an PDS hs mx, it is much longer>< and what i knew is, yours tutorial looks like an hs mx(really very good try) but umm

    it uses the following materials

    Monami 153 (tip)x2
    hgg x2
    rsvp x1
    g3 x1
    anyball grips

    you may ask me?Where Does the monami are putten at?
    ANSWER both inside the cap and the tip of rsvp
    and the hgg tip is sticken under the monami tip and putten inside the cap with the grips
    So where is the other monami?
    as i said it is sticken to the tip of rsvp with the hgg covering the tip(LOL)
