2 fans, voice amp, RF servo + RC controller board.  The Mand'alor helmet will probably have more in it.

Hey I think your pic link is expired.

I figure this would be the thread to ask... since this is about the guts of buy'cese. For those of you who added cameras and such, I am in need of some help. I have acquired several different types of night vision devices, all "toys" but actual NVDs, and I am trying to incorporate them into my buy'ce. The NVDs I have are the Spy Net Night Vision Binoculars and the CoD:MW2 Prestige NVGs. The biggest issue is that the cameras are incorporated into circuit boards and the included displays are attached to a largish circuit board by shot ribbon cable. Would one of you electronics masters be able to offer some suggestions to someone who has minimal soldering skills? So far the buy'cese I have tried are modded HBFs, but I am working to acquire another RC helmet and mod that(make that heavily mod) into an approvable bucket. The main reason I would like to do this is so when I go sans-bucket the inside looks like it is something from the universe. Sue me, I like the techno-gadgets :rolleyes:

I personally have no idea WHY someone would want to put a set of "nods" in a bucket.  If you have ever worn a pair long term, like I have, you'll know what I'm saying.  Looking through the T visor is bad enough sometimes, nods would make it ten times worse.  On top of that, lots of hours and money just for something you can't use at an event or con.

I just don't get it.

If it's for bragging rights or a display bucket, that's a different story.  If that's the case, you ought to greeb it up and make it LOOK like it has those things in it.

I have worn NVDs for many hours at a time, mostly on convoys but there was the occasional night op. I originally got the NVDs to make some scopes but got a wild hair... happens from time to time... like switching branches and going into the Air Force... With as often as I would actually be wearing this buy'ce it might as well be a display piece. Just another of those gee wow things to have.

i have one o' dems.
but when i took it apart, it stopped working.  apparently, they do that (even out of the box).
(funny story real quick....after i broke it, i contacted customer service about what i did.  the guy in charge thought it was an awesome idea and sent me a new one to try again....i never did!)
if yer gonna try, you'll have to build up the top centre of the bucket to house the camera and ir.  then you'll need to build a housing for the extra ir on yer right earcap.
i don't know if the new design is any different, but i have the old version of that toy....so you'd have to put the tiny screen in the middle of yer visor.  it shouldn't take up much view-room.  plus, you'll need to store the battery pack somewhere.

Any of you folks know where I can find a voice amp installation wip or tutorial on the thread? It seems as though we don't have any official tutorials for it, but I'm sure someone has got to have made a detailed play by play when taking an amp apart and installing it in their bucket.

Two batteries for the two fans.
