[VoiceBooster MR1506 vs MR2300]

Okay so I called TK Products this morning. They clarified that the MR2300 DOES work with the iComm. There are no issues. They work fine together. The only reason they have some verbiage on their web site that says otherwise is because there has been many instances in the past where 501st members purchase the MR2300 not realizing it's too big to fit in their TK so now they're stressed and have to go through the return process, pay extra to ship back, and purchase a new one taking up more time and money. It becomes a bad experience. So their warning on their web site is because of it's size fitting in our costumes. And has nothing to do with it the iComm functioning with the MR2300.
 
Side note, they said if you can fit the MR1505 (versus the MR1506) in your TK then go for it since it has a longer battery life and sounds a little louder.
 
There have been older posts on this forum mentioning the MR1505 not working with the iComm. They wanted to clarify that that was a very brief issue about a decade ago. The software was updated and so the MR1505 works perfectly with the iComm.
 
Also, maybe someone already covered this on a previous post but they clarified that we ARE able to swap out the battery inside these units. The units are not sealed and don't need to replace the whole unit when the battery stops working. In fact they sell extra batteries on their site. They mentioned this because they spoke to some 501st members who didn't know this.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to pass all this info along. Happy building.

Great info. Thanks for making the call and sharing your findings with the detachment.

Awesome!!! Thank you all very, very much for your outstanding expertise, guidance, and encouragement through this process. I have learned a great deal and have come to truly appreciate the level of detail to which EIB and Centurion require! I promise to do the detachment proud while trooping.

Just a little shout out to my fellow TKs in Carida for their support and to TK-14791 (Bill Blake) for his expert build skills.

Thank you Glen.

 

There’s no weathering on the E-11 grip. I forgot to update that photo when I corrected the weathering for EIB.

The belt was a dressing issue. I most likely shifted the one side while trying to adjust something else during my photos. Should I suit up again and resubmit my 4 body poses?

You’ll be most pleased with RS. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is phenomenal. I have an RS Scout and I know guys in my Garrison who have RS TKs. Worth every Penny!

[TK60446 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [ATA] (1009)]

Gentlemen, I thank you very much for all of your assistance and encouragement! It has been a very edifying and rewarding experience. I will work on these suggested adjustment today and submit my Centurion app by tomorrow. And I won’t be touching my wife’s kitchen shears . I’m still getting the stink eye over the strainer lol.

I also want to thank fellow Garrison mates [mention]David G [/mention] and [mention]A.J. Hamler [/mention] for their inspirational EIB submissions. I’ll be using there Centurion apps as a guide as well. And fellow Garrison mate, [mention]gatetrooper [/mention] . Andrew was instrumental in guiding me through this process and helping me bring my kit up to snuff prior to submission. Thank you Gentlemen!

[Ammo Belt Inquiry]

Thanks Mario!

[Ammo Belt Inquiry]

Sounds advice gentlemen. Will do.

[Ammo Belt Inquiry]

I need a little advice for a Centurion requirement. I bought my armor from a retired Garrison mate. He did an incredible job on his build and built most of it to L2 and L3 specs, but I’m concerned about the following requirement for Centurion:

 

“The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt.”

 

As you can see from the photos below the corners as currently trimmed fall just short of meeting that requirement.

 

 

 

 

You can see in the photo my pencil line, which marks where I’d need to trim the ammo pack in order for it to meet said requirement.

 

Would this solution work or is there another work around?

[TK60446 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [ATA] (1009)]

Thank you Joseph. Looking forward to joining the ranks. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

[TD ANH Stunt question]

Thanks Tony. That’s exactly what I was looking for!

[TD ANH Stunt question]

Would someone please tell me if there are certain measurements for the placement of the mounting screws for the TD bracket?

 

I’ve seen pics and info on the size of the screw head, overall length of the TD, greeblie, and end caps, but I can’t seem to locate where the optimal placement of the screws should be. All I find is reference to the first screw being “close to the greeblie.”

 

1. How far should the screw be from the edge of the clip? and,

2. What is the optimal distance between the two screws?

 

Thanks in advance for the assist. I’m fashioning new clips for my Centurion app. Got the clips done but don’t want to drill anything until I get confirmation.

[mention]TKSpartan [/mention] Mario, thanks for that tip with the highlighter cap.  Ingenious!  It made the swap out incredibly easy.

Here’s the hovi with proper screen. Should seen my wife’s face when I ran into the kitchen on the eve of Thanksgiving to grab the strainer out of the drawer. Told her was all for the Empire. The look I got...would have rather faced an angry Vader lol. Thank the force we had a newer one we just bought a few months ago.

[TK60446 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [ATA] (1009)]

Thanks Gentlemen. I’m on it.
