just go and buy a rckstr driver or a flexdrive, you can order them on a pre-set current already.

but just a piece of advice, learn to set the driver also on yoru own...

Have a nice day..

check the buy and sell section.. there are drivers out there..

Should be under $2 to ship. Thats not much.

I shipped a sled and other parts to Igor in Slovenia and it was around $3.

nope it is for me 26 for slow post and 28 for within 5 days

 

[Tech_Junkie]

Well have patience and save $$.

$26 for slow post??? How??? Its a 1/2oz driver. Throw it in an airmail envelope.

2/3 links are dead (last 2) and other one is down for the day. :cryyy:
Very nice post though, I look forward to trying this one day.

They all work for me except the AixiZ link.

Go to the "Buy, Sell, Trade" section and you will find everything you need.

Also check out the DIY section (click the banner in my sig). There are a few more links to similar tutorials there.

Are you saying that he wants to charge you $28 for shipping IN ADDITION to the cost of the driver ?!?

A flat rate priority envelope to you (6-10 days) costs $13. First class (slow mail) should cost no more than $5 to you for this.

Send me a PM. I'll fix you up

Avoid Tyler, the scam artist .

Peace,

**EDIT** @ TJ -- The Rkcstr is $15 with shipping for an assembled driver

After that pull the diode in its mine heatsink out by grabbing the little ribbon cable and pulling on it.

Btw use the
