I was recently challenged on the colour I choose for my MAG letters where sometimes (light pending) they can look too green. When I created the pigment, I wanted my shoes to be as close to the screen shoes, not the 2011 shoes. Today whilst playing with my colorimeter, threw up some images of both my shoes and the 1989 screen used shoes and took readings of the colour of the MAG letters.
The yellow dot is the actual measured colour.

That dude is a joke. He's still comparing the real Mags that have been showing up on all the China sites.
Damn. Thought there was new hope. LOL. Thanks man!

No such luck. That shot of the ankle buckle that makes it look different is simply the angle of which the shot was taken.
It would be SWEET if the "fakes" were real and available, but they are not.
Appreciate the replies. Anyway, I haven't made progress with my pair yet. Too busy with a lot of things.
Has anyone ever tried using lithium polymer batteries in their Nike mag mods before ? A friend I have says they are pretty good to use and he uses them when he put LEDs in his sneakers. But I'm a bit reluctant due to the fact that this is something I'm not quite sure about I read up on things about it and apparently these were used in the RD Nike mag and I wanted to know if some has tried using these in their mags and if they could provide a diagram ?

There was a few that used PS3 controller batteries. Not sure if they are the same or not.

Not 100% sure. AFAIK, the inverters will only draw that they need. Will 9V fry them? I really can not answer that.
it seems so when I leave it on for a while runing the 3v inverter is gets hot and the power goes out but when I unplug the battery and let it cool down it works.

You are only supposed to use same voltage power supply with the inverter voltage.
So 9v, you should only be using 9v inverter.
For 3v, only 3v power supply such as 2 x AAA.
I have found though, that 2 x AAA nimh rechargeables which are only 1.2v each (2.4v total) still power up a full circuit.
ok thanks ! do you sell the 9v inverters separately yet ? if so i'll just add in resistors on my inverter now but do you know which one I need to use ?

I can't keep up with her. She is selling one day and not the next. But yeah, she is down from $250 to $200 USD.

Hello everyone I'm brand new to the RPF. I'm looking for answers to specific questions to modding the lights of my HC shoes.I currently have battery powered NIKE strap. The rest of the lights (ankle cups, soles) are untouched.
WHAT I WANT TO DO IS THE FOLLOWING:
1) upgrade to EL soles
2) leave the ankle cup lights as is (unless someone can convince me otherwise)
3) power all the electronics into 1 rechargeable power source.
I know that the information for this is out here but there are so many pages I wouldn't know where to begin.
OR
does someone sell an already assembled kit???
Someone please help!!!!
