SMD 0603 Resistors E12 Series 86 Value Assortment Kit, 0 to 10M OHM. | eBay
Not sure how many you get in that kit, but it's the first kit I saw that had the 27 ohm resistor.
Here is the one for 5000 SMD's :O
50 Value 0603 SMD Resistor Kit (0R~10MR) 5% 5000 pcs | eBay

I will probably get mine from digikey though. ~$0.01 per resistor and any package less than 8 oz ships for $2.56.
Will probably pick up a couple different types and some LEDs, switches etc...
Can't let that shipping go to waste can we?

Remember, it's 0.27. The resistors for these drivers are REALLY small values.

I've ordered 50 of both .27 ohm and .47 ohm resistors (size 0603) from digikey.
If someone needs them I wouldn't mind sending a couple your way.
Again, thank you for your help Wolfman29!

PS: Anyone mind chiming in on a good way to connect the driver negative copper band to the case (ie: solder the copper to the driver pill). I've succeeded once by doing a really messy solder blob over some of the threads and then sanding it down, but I'd like to find an easier and more durable method.

I forgot to mention that I also received 20 of the SS34 diodes, so I have both the diodes and the resistors that you need to convert these drivers if anyone needs em...

Wolfman, since my resistors haven't arrived yet I desoldered a 0.27ohm off one of the boards and put it on the other, it registers at 1.5amps with my AW 16340s @ a low voltage. Unfortunately my crap chinese charger decided that it would be a good time to stop working for no reason, so I can't finish the build just yet. Oh well, at least now I have an excuse to order a quality charger, I went with the Sysmax Intellicharge i4 Multifunctional Charger :D

I've actually tried those boards... I am not a huge fan, to be honest. Don't remember why....
