Hard T grips?

[danzig]

Does anyone know the difference between The Custom Saber Shop grips and Wannawanga's? (exceptt for the price)

 

[Sym-Cha]

The T-tracks from TCSS are rubber ... and Roy's are hard plastic and a researched more accurate overall shape

Hey all

I read about Gino's T grips but where can I find them ?
Any website ? or email adress ?

Thanks guys !

Better go for Roys tracks.

Im gonna try Roys..I like the idea of them being hard plastic as oppose to rubber.Rubber always seems to breakdown after time and becomes sticky.

I was looking through my old saber parts box and found a set of metal ones! Unfortunately I only have 6.
I forgot who made them. Wish I could find more

I wonder if they're from Marco Enterprises? I think he made metal ones.

Can't recommend Roy enough! Excellent product and service.

Roy's t-tracks are just perfect and not too expensive either

Does anyone recall how much Gino's grips cost? Is it worth trying to hunt some down?

Double the price of Roy's t-tracks

Thanks for the reply. If cost wasn't a factor which grips would you go with - Gino's or Roy's?

I just used these on my E11 project, they mould easily and look great.

The accuracy difference between the two is insignificant. I also have both, though I might get a second set of Roy's soon

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

The difference between Gino's track and Roy's track (aside from the price) is that Gino's dimensions were obtained from original t-track on a screen used prop, and Roy's were reversed engineered using his own excellent computer models. You'll find comparison pics in this thread: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=253797 ...Up to you if you think the profile difference is significant.

If you do want Gino track I don't know that you'd need to hunt them down. Just contact him. Here is his t-track thread: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=41387

Thanks, I have read that topic already. I was just looking for other opinions.

Regarding Gino's thread I have read that as well and unfortunately his actual sale thread in the JY is no longer there.

You're welcome! I was trying to be impartial... But I guess my opinion would be that the profile difference does not equal the price difference. I bought my Gino track years ago when it was the only accurate option, and I gritted my teeth at the cost, but I sucked it up, because accuracy. Today I'd probably just buy Roy's. The cost difference is huge if you're buying tracks for, say, five sabers, like I did!

Ah, ok, I hadn't realized that. I thought he probably had so much of it you could just reach out to him at any time.

Thanks for your input Reali! I really appreciate your honest opinion, it's very helpful. I'd like to do a Luke ANH saber later this year when Roman releases his new Graflex replica. I'm trying to decide between Roy's grips and Gino's. I guess I am where you were years ago in that I'm thinking of gritting my teeth and going with Gino's. As you said, because accuracy. But now that there is a less expensive but still quite accurate alternative... Hmmm.... I may wind up going with the TFA version instead which would make this decision moot as that t-track appears to have a different profile altogether.

I´m biased - i would chisel me my t-track out of rocks or carve them from wood before i give any money to Gino.

Additional - we only have his word about how accurate his are, and his word is not much worth in my books.


So it´s Roys track for me every time.
