Equipment Proton Packs

Hi team,

Ive got a spirit pack arriving for my 40th and I’m biting the bullet and going to mod it !

I have a list of items that id like to purchase

Ultimately my aim is to have better light and sound on the pack with a smoking vent upon overheat as well as some cosmetic changes to make it closer to screen accurate.

My big question (as I’m putting my shopping list together) is…

In terms of the electronics i saw a pack on FB group that looked great and appeared to do what i wanted

The set up was;

Ghostlabs42 Spengler link, Vent relay, LED upgrade kit which im fine with but before i commit is there any difference or advantage to going with GPStar instead?

Should note that I have an 84 hasbro wand to hook up so I think that rules out Frankengeek sets for me (sadly)

You could run the pack and the wand separately. The pack on the stock, or modded electronica and the 84 wand as a standalone… I was going to strap the 84 wand to my Spirit but have not moved past getting the parts. (V Hook and Hose shrink tubed to the stock hose adaptor.

I may complete this at some point. It would just be removing the stock wand/hose relocating the pack on and off switch for the pack and replacing the hose and V-Hook. The pack would run independently of the wand. This is my kid’s pack so it’s up to them. They like the slightly modded stock setup below, and don’t care if the pack makes sounds.

Thanks for that ! I think id definitely like to integrate the two.

Im going for the Ghostlab42 kit and setup just a nightmare getting things into Thailand !

My wand is now sat at customs as they havent a clue what it is - i think ive made some Thai gvt watchlist now

Thats a really nice setup though man

I have’t heard anything bad about GPStar, but i have 3-4 packs over the years with GhostLab. Super happy with them. Shipping to Thailand is probably tricky. If you were planning on just buying it on eBay, you’d still might want to send Spongeface / GhostLab42 a message or a comment before ordering
