So hello everyone,this is the tutorial of a modd I created a few months ago,I didn't translate what is written on the pics,but I think it is quite understandable
So let's start!
you need:
-1 pilot g2 (body,clicking part and inktube)
-1 rsvp (grip and cap)
-1 dong a cap
-sgm grips
-2 hgg tips
-a woodstick
plus these accessories:
(and a lighter,forgot to put it on the pic>_<)
/!\ WARNING: this modd is hard to do,so please be REALLY carefull or you might get cut,burnt.../!\QUOTEtake the lighter, the needle and the cork. What you have to do is to cut the little lines that keep the "center" of the cap.
you should now have this:
alternative way (thx to k4s!): a power drill can wear off easily wear off the central part...how to repalce it? just use an hgg backcap( everyone has a few spare hgg body^^)
Now,screw an hgg tip on the little white part and put another tip on the first hgg tip (with blu-tack,or glue)
stuff this little white part with blu-tack,and plant the woodstick in it
Now take the big clicking part of the g2,and cut a little bit the top stuff it with patafix,and connect the little com.ssa cap part and the clicking part together(you'll need to cut the woodstick )
grip the dong.a cap,and put the clicking system back in it.
now take the g2 body.remove the clip,and put 2 stripes of sgm grip,like on the pic:
you can now put the dong.a cap on the back of the g2,put the inktube in the g2 body,and test the retract system,adjust if necessary
now let's go to the opposite part of the g2
put the rsvp grip(where the g2 grip normally is),and the cap
you finished to modd your thund3r mx \o/
a few pics :
19 cm long,about 14g

Woah. Nice mod!
Looks very hard to make.
Does the grip by the cap make it hard to spin? It also doesnt look like theres alot of spinning room... -
Date: Sat, Mar 8 2008 14:18:26
That looks really cool!
When you want to write with it, do you have to click it and remove the rsvp cap? -
Date: Sat, Mar 8 2008 15:33:18
wow..really nice pen mod..but the pen look short..

Nice! looks awesome!

time to answer the questions!
-an sgm/profile/dominic story/anyball grip is the grip used to modd com.ssa caps
pic here
-this mod is 3mm longer than an rsvp mx,and it roughly has the same spinning surface
-to write,remove the cap and click by pushing the hgg tip inside the donga cap
(thanks for the compliments^^) -

Looks like it. Retractable = Cool. -

I think I'm gonna try to make a v2 where the ink clicks out through a hole in the rsvp cap, that way its really a retractable
-
Date: Sat, Mar 8 2008 20:40:18
So it writes out the side w/ the RSVP cap?

I tried it,but the problem is that it puts too much weight on one side of the pen :/ and it's difficult to add weight on the other side -

I just made one, I'm about to try to put inserts in it, there are definitely a lot of steps that could be added to the tutorial though, I had to improvise a lot.

Neat mod; I especially like the red one. Gonna try it soon.

I really want to make that mod... but i would have to mutilate my only comssa for the cap.... idk if i want to do that or not
-

Heres my Thund3r MX. And let me tell you, it was a freaking hard mod to make... but kinda worth it
-
Date: Wed, Mar 12 2008 21:31:15
wow, very nice mod!
probably the best mod that uses a g2 barrel.
where can i get the sgm grip?
edit: never mind you were talking about star gels max -
Date: Wed, Mar 12 2008 22:01:21
looks like it has little spinning room :/

lol call me a nublet, but what does that mean? -

It seems the most difficult part of this mod is cutting out the center piece of the comssa cap. If you dont mind me suggesting, you can use an HGG back plug instead...hgg tips will screw onto the hgg back plug and its significantly easier than removing the center piece of a comssa cap
Maybe more people will make this mod now if they can skip the hardest step
@Teddy: Spinning room refers the amount of room on the barrel to spin with before you touch the grips/caps on the ends of the pen mod. -

I don't get what that would accomplish? You still have to clear out the comssa cap don't you?
Oh, you mean it is hard to get it out intact? -
Date: Thu, Mar 13 2008 02:16:25
Well, i can clear out a comssa cap very easily using drill bits...unfortunately i end up destroying the middle section (which is needed in this mod). So instead of meticulously cutting out the middle section, you can just drill it out (way easier) and use an hgg back plug as a substitute. Anyone who's made an MX before should have a spare hgg body lying around with the back plug just waiting to be used :>

lol, i didnt do anything maticulous when clearing out the comssa cap for two reasons. One, idc what the inside of the cap looks like, just as long as i can sand it down smooth, and two, idc what the piece that you remove looks like because you never see it and all you do is just screw on the hgg tip...

ah. so i take it raE was being sarcastic? -
Date: Thu, Mar 13 2008 05:09:49
no raE was right. There isn't alot of spinning room, but i still like the mod it's nice imo.

thanks a lot for the idea! *editing the tutorial*
if anyone else has modded one,please post a pic!
(if you include the back grip,the spinning surface is ~ the same as with a mx
k4s,what size of drill do you use ? 8mm?

Date: Thu, Mar 13 2008 22:12:00
I'll post a pic of mine soon, I took the inserts out though, too ahrd to get them to stay in and straght imo

saw it,and it roxxx
edit: nice one too,darkeh...if you want to put an insert,just be very careful about the size -
Date: Fri, Mar 14 2008 18:56:45
I made inserts, but while at school they kept messing up so I just use it like that

the insert at the bottom of the cap should'nt move. the other small insert is taped (right word?) to the barell,it doesn't move at all,and with the right size,the central insert should'nt move
(and yeah,this modd is perfect for school xD) -
Date: Fri, Mar 14 2008 19:04:22
I taped them down but they still fell around, I'm fine with it like this. ^^
