Limited Run Nike MAG Strap Upgrade Kit - Shipping 10/05/15!

Re: Nike MAG Strap Upgrade Kit

I had the same problem when I initially tried soldering. I saw a soldering video online where you melt the solder on to the wire first so when you go to solder it to the tape, you just need to have it there for a second or two which prevents melting away the plastic. It worked really well. I'm going to have to check out this wire glue for future project though...

I tried soldering initially, but the heat from the iron warped the plastic and melted away some of the tape. I ended up having to order a second set of EL's. Jefifyfe used wire tape on his EL panels, so I thought I'd give that a try. I had much better luck with the wire glue, as you can see.

Good to know. I'm not a very experienced solderer, so anywhere I can eliminate that step works for me!

I ended up just soldering mine as the wire glue was just a pain.

Finally finished. Although I think it would've been easier if there was a left & right Nike EL, as on the right shoe strap I had to have the wire go round the back of the EL to reach the connectors.....if that makes sense. :wacko

Mark, your kits arrived a few days ago. Just wanted to post a shot of the 2 kits Mark sells for those interested in getting them. I can't wait to mod my shoes!

Thank you for your fast shipping. Everything in the kit looks top quality! YOU ROCK!

Very good point, Mark, can you make this change to the kit so you get an EL sheet for the left and right to avoid having to double back on the wire? All you'd have to do it flip the nike decal the other way around

hi razorsharp192,

sorry but all our EL strips are ready made so we can't change anything now.


hi guys,

more strap light kits shipped & registered numbers updated at #1 post :D
 
Re: Nike MAG Strap Upgrade Kit

Hi markpoon, new member here. I just ordered my HC shoes, they should arrive shortly. Can I order both the decal, and light kits here? Is that $73 total? I'm assuming there are no compatibility issues with the HC versions and your kits?

Thanks!

Re: Nike MAG Strap Upgrade Kit

Anyone have a set of Mark's El Light Strip light up NIKE logos they no longer need? I need to replace one on my straps that I accidentally bent the strip modding my shoes and the EL now has some dark markings on the EL when lit up. I actually only need one of the EL light NIKE logos only. Please let me know.

Same thing happened to me, I ordered some switches off Ebay. Ebay is GOD! ;)
