People like you that ask questions but end up ignoring advice and do what they want anyways, are the same people that crash tanks and waste money....
It depends on a lot of factors. My personal opinion is to DIY everything. The rapidled kits are super nice kits and they are wonderful to work with....
11.6 is not a long enough heatsink for a 24 inch long tank. I wouldn't go shorter than 18 inches. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

I'm not really so sure that its not possible to run an ELN-60-48D off of the typhoon with some slight mods to the code. I know there are a few guys...
New mods coming Just thought I would share a list of mods/additions that I will be doing to the tank here in the next couple weeks or so. New...
