GPstar Proton Pack Upgrades

[@_mono_01]

the passion and talent of some ghostbusters fans never ceases to amaze me, what a beautiful prop

[@jonogunn]

Thanks for the amazing review!

[@IGendel369]

You are welcome!!! Omg I forgot to put your name in there

[@DamianBartolacci]

Thank you for showing the differences in buttons and sounds compared to 4.xx which I have. This video makes me want to update :)

[@IGendel369]

You are very welcome. It’s a huge update and so much easier to get to menus and all the new modes are great. Took me a bit to get used to it but it’s so much easier and better than the old way

[@DamianBartolacci]

You mention that you also updated the wand speaker. What speaker did you use and where did you get it, if I may ask?

Nice meeting you yesterday! Pack came out great!

[@IGendel369]

Thanks!! It was great meeting you too

[@FGC1986]

This is genuinely incredible! How long overall did it take you to make these mods?

[@IGendel369]

About a year and a half. I got the hasbro pack right when it released and had joined a lot of Facebook groups for modding it. So many mods came out slowly over time. If worked out because I couldn’t have afforded to do it all at once anyway. As things came out I liked I bought.

I’m still having electronics issues with my pack and wand connection. Been thinking about upgrading to a GP Star kit but would need help with it I think.

[@IGendel369]

@@stigmajosh you could get a drop in hose replacement from dragon workshop if you want. But the gpstar kit is awesome and seriously the best thing. Where are you located? Depending on where you are located I can help

[@stigmajosh]

@ Los Angeles area. I already bought a replacement hose with quick connect clamps at each end instead of soldering. I just added a Frutto 6v converter too. It works better now but still randomly shuts down with the activate switch. Replacing all the internal electronics with a GPStar kit may be the only option left.

[@IGendel369]

@ wow that sounds like the steps that should have fixed it. But yeah the gpstar kit will be the end of all the issues. I’m in NJ so opposite side of the country. Is it the pack or wand part you are worried about doing or both?

[@stigmajosh]

@ I’ve done several updates on the pack and wand so far and could probably handle it. I just don’t know if my limited knowledge would lead to more issues and at this point I’d rather wave a magic wand and just have it all installed and working lol.

[@IGendel369]

@ I don’t mind doing your wand if you want. I’ve done like 10 of them now. The pack would cost too much to send to me so wouldn’t make sense

[@loyalROCKfan]

This is by far the best custom upgrade I have ever seen. Do you have any links to your sound files that you used, please? I would truly appreciate it. Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👍

[@IGendel369]

Thanks!! You mean the pack sounds or music?

[@loyalROCKfan]

@@IGendel369 all your pack sounds. They are phenomenal. Blown away by them.

[@IGendel369]

@@loyalROCKfan it’s part of the gpstar kit. They have the sounds downloadable on their website but their kit is polyphonic so it layers multiple sounds together

[@mirusso]

Did you get the replacement Cyclotron and powercell LEDs? These are great for switching between stasis slime and bozon. 🤘🏼

[@IGendel369]

No not yet. I left all the stock hasbro lighting at the moment. I do want to do them at some point but not ready to yet. Plus I have these red lenses that wouldn’t look great with the cyclotron colors. So got to figure out what I want to do about that.
