Hows it going everyone.
Im looking for anyone in the fresno,visalia, tulare and bakersfield area.
I just recently bought an AM kit. And i know i will be needing some help.
I will of corse try myself first, and read all the threads. But i do know ill.need some hands on help.
If anyone is in those areas, will you drop me a pm. Im willing to travel to you for the help. Plus. Once i get my armor done, we could troop together.
Thank you in advance

So i called around, an every hardware store said plasti dip is used for coating the ends of tools to give it a grip... An that it doesnt get hard. Is this true?
Im currently in the prosess of using that truckbed liner. Which doesnt seem to be giving tha back where the hovis will go any sort of support. Its paper thin, to where i can accualy poke threw it with my finger. But we shall see.
-
i accualy have a rom, and airships hovis.
they are very nice. but arent that loud. i am thinking of switching to the speaker that came with my rom. or using those dual headphone jack they sell at walmart and target, and running both hovi speakers and rom speaker.

I run a rom/fx with a set of hovi speakers from airship. They are magnificent quaility, but again, they are only loud enough for indoor use. An when i say indoor, i mean in your house.
I am accualy going to be running the hovi speakers AND a chest speaker. Airships speakers are very reasonably priced. An i highly reccommend them as well as a rom/fx.
Thats my 2cents
-
very awesome!! looks great!
-
The decals are next on my list. Then the helmet eill
Be completely 100% done. Im just using what i have for now since this took a dump on me, an decided it wanted to choke out and stall everytime i let off the gas or take it out of park!! So pretty much my armor fund is becominh less each day.

Pictures of my AP lid with brians padding are up in my AP esb build thread!! Thanks a bunch brian. I beyond appreciate it!!!
-
Finaly padded. And all thanks to mr. soldermaster!!!
Its set up like my rt-mod. Cause......its beyond comfy!
I put some screen type weather stripping around the eyes. Im not sure why. Maybe in one of my many unsober states i thought it was pure genious! But. It is pretty neat. I noticed the AP helmets fit alot more snug with padding. I took out my rt-mod padding, an i couldnt get my head in, then when i did, my entire face was smashed forward! But it works....not too pretty, but works
I did thin down the back padding.
But now this helmet feels like my rt-mod! I love it! May not be the pretties thing on the inside, but it sure is comfortable!
Thanks a gazillion soldermaster(brian) for the padding! Its perfect and your a life saver!

To find a ninja in white, you will have to have it ordered, or have it painted! Unless you like hondas. The cbr600s come in white!

Im really happy with the fan. My lid is getten pretty heavt. An im not too worried about heat. I live in the central calley of ca, where its 100+ degrees in the summer/fall. An ive competed in paintball for over 4 years in the heat and summer, so im very use to hott helmets/face maskes.
But i may have to try out his other fan like you said. Who knows, i may be introduced to a new tk heat.
-
So heres my fan set up.
It blows a bit on my lenses and my face. I have no clue how good it works yet, since i have trooper my lid yet. But it seems fine!!
-
dude, i dont own armor. i wear my helmet to take out the garbage, just sitting watching tv. you name it! im hopen it just magicaly attaches to my head without the use of gorrilla glue.
i would love to wear my bucket when my band plays. but things tend to get rowdy, and im too paranoided to take it with me
-
sick! i cant wait! my AP bucket will finaly be complete!!!
and as for the fan setup, ill post pics later tonight. i accualy stole the location from eric. its pretty spiffy. again, you cant feel any of the wiring or box.
-
Score! I never mind offering myself up for experiments!
-
Well you did a rad job! The eyes are touchy, but just do little bit at a time. Go look at my post, my eyes are almost the same, an there is a link i believe that shows what they are sopose to look like
-
Looks great. I think with the frown, its not a huge deal. Mine has a few bumpd here an there, nothing bad thought. Id sand the eyes more, mine look the same an i was told to sand them more. An with the black strip around the ears, id thin it out a tiny bit more..... Maybe. I mean, im no expert, but it looks a tad too think. I had mine almost the same, an i just redid the grey part of the ears an it thinned it out alot!!
But it looks great man!!
-
Looks rad!! More pictures pleeeease!! Lets see every angle.
-
Im not sure to be honest. It came with my bucket.
Mysuggestion is hit up fabric stores or something to find padding.
-
My brow was extremely low as well! What i did was find the point where i like it. Tape it in place, then used 3 small screws to hold it in place. And its set!
It was way easier then glue. Shoot me a pm with your address and ill sens you the screws i used. I should have them still!
-
Im sorry to hear this. I agree with you when you say its a form of recasting.
I wish you nothing but luck, and hope to do buisness with you in the future.... When my wallet decides to keep the money i put in it!
-
Awesome! Your not sopose to surpass 12v correct?
-
Yea i want to try the AA set up... Just wasnt sure how many. I hear its better any way.
-
Right now its not too loud. I think im having issues with the hovis, but air ship has been great at helping me figure out whats wrong. He tested my set begore it shipped an said it was loud enough to almost blow the speakers. Soooo i dont know what i did.
Im goin to be trying a 9v 300mah rechargeable battery. An a AA set up. I love the board. Seriously....its worth buying.
And the padding came with my bucket. Its beyond comfortable!!! Its set up in an 'I' formation. Forehead,top, back of the head
-
Finaly got everything set up! Im very pleased on the outcome. Im posting this just in case anyone is wondering how to set up their helmet, an that they could use this for ideas!!
Here is my RT-MOD set up with hovi speakers from air-ship. Very nice hovis i must add!!!
Here is the inside. I have my ROM set up on the left side. Believe it or not, it is not in the way. I cant even feel it on the side of my head. I quickly made a black material bag for the board to protect it from sweat or dirt or whatever else lands in there. Im not thrilled with the battery, but im worken on fixinf the location.
I picked the mic up from jim. Needless to say, its perfect!!! It originaly was a wrap aroun style mic, but i snipped off the wire an bent the edge an placed velcro around it to fasten it to the helmet. I went velcro crazy, but i do own an AP bucket, an i plan on having a bucket for every episode, so i wanted everything to be interchangeable.
All the excess wires WERE NOT cut!!! I simply just tucked them into the neck trim, an they fit perfectly. Not a single bump or buldge. An it make the inside look very clean.
Here is the connector fpr the wires for my hovi's. Velcroed to the bottom left of the helmet.
I kept the original padding. Its way to comfortable to replace!!!
And thats basicaly it!!! I will be adding fans soon. I can live with out them for now. Im more worried about getting my armor.
Thanks for looking and hope this helps with future set ups!
