26650 Kick adapter?

[Hobby Kid]

Who makes kick tubes to fit inside 26650 mechs? Else has anyone managed to rig something together?

Thats a really great idea.

If it has not already been done, it most likely will be shortly.

Or a Kick clone sized for the 26650.

Don't they make adapter tubes to allow you to use 18650's in 26650 mods? Perhaps said tube with an 18500 and a kick it???

Those tubes that screw on top aren't very attractive and not all kicks fit them. I think there are 4 different manufactures of kicks?

Edit: sorry. Misread you post.

Wow. A 26650 reduced to an 18500! That would be like having your balls chopped off.

Yeah, I'm talking about the ones that go inside the tube essentially shrinking the internal diameter down to house an 18650 nicely. I don't own a 26650 mod. Is there room for a kick and a 26650 in some of them?

This is what I was referring to.

Install this in 26650 mod with 18500+kick. Just an option...

No not in mine. But my hades unscrews at the top. So someone lathe savvy could make a piece that screws between the top part and the main body

I see. I'm sure someone will make one. I'd like to see a new 26650 kick which is 30w capable!

Agreed. Not sure why they even make these things. Guess if your in a pinch and all you have is 18xxx batteries it could be a lifesaver?

I've just realised as I'm going to type this that it's going to be one of those vague replies lol. I've seen something on the web of this guy who made an inner ring which houses a kick but not sure if a 26650 still fitted in it. He makes them for some people but might've stopped and I can't remember who it was

ya

 

[UncleRJ]

There is a simple solution to all of this.

Duct Tape!

Need I say more?

 

[Hobby Kid]

So to translate what ya saying - someone somewhere may or may not make something that may or may not work....I likes ya, I really really likes ya

Hahahaha idk what else to say

sascha rus from austria, the modder of the godzilla and the jfk, build once a brass kick ring for the congestus.
its a simple ring with a hex screw to fix the kick that fits perfect inside the congestus

 

[Hobby Kid]

I will google that and see where it leads too. Ta

 

[Hobby Kid]

Well I found sascha's ring. It looks very smooth and a really good fit It led me to his fb group. It's still only for a telescopic mech tho. It looks telescopic anyway

The problem with this is that the Kick must make contact with the tube to fire. Enjoy the day!

 

[Sully]

Didn't think of that! Silly idea anyway... Nice catch!

 

[Hobby Kid]

I have to admit that it went over the top of my head too ... and I'm very clever hahaha

Take a look at this from Super T -- it says it fits in "many 26xxx mods".
