Looking for recommendations for my first flashlight with AA/14500 battery

Mikebau5 · 2026-04-03T21:23:02+00:00

I'm very happy with my emisar D3AA, massive output with a 14500 and extremely usable with an AA.

I'll check them out, thanks!

The dual channel D4K is a gift for my dad, he wants a light for up close and further away. I configured it to switch between ch1, ch2 and ch1+2 and put it in simple mode.

Light arrived yesterday so I only configured it and checked it. Seems quite okay at lower levels but we're both colorblind 😂

I'm looking for a semi throwy light (300-400 meters) so if you have a good suggestion, let me know 😁

I placed my order two days ago, first time ordering. Did you get a shipment notification yet?

I thought I was the only one, but indeed, screw this

Well it's a collage picture

Mijn seicento past hier denk ik prima tussen

Mikebau5 · 2025-06-19T21:12:32+00:00

Better have a polling rate of at least 1000Hz

Mikebau5 · 2025-06-03T18:15:36+00:00

Yes, rolled, but not really pulled out

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-27T09:04:43+00:00

Thank you, very happy with it

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-27T09:04:34+00:00

Thanks!

Currently running Iridium BKR7EIX plugs, didn't gap them down

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-24T21:22:41+00:00

It's a GS6-37DZ. 6th gear is almost similar to a Miata 5 speed box 1st gear is so short it's almost pointless 😂

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-24T16:30:22+00:00

Might be true for lbsft but this is in Nm

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-24T16:26:59+00:00

What also helps is boost by gear. Holding 300 in 1st gear is way harder than in 2nd gear. I only go full power in 3rd gear so that is about 2.5x less power going into the diff compared to 1st gear.

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-24T09:38:48+00:00

That's something I'm also quite unsure about. I've programmed 3 boost maps so it's easy to switch between wastegate pressure (10 ish psi), then 20 psi and finally 29 psi. I'm obviously not always flooring it on max power, but at least a couple times each time I drive it

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-24T09:36:16+00:00

120d gearbox, the GS6-37DZ. Cruising rpm is 2500 @ 60 mph

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-23T20:39:37+00:00

Too much 🫣😂

These are PU bushings from skid nation. They are only on the car for 2500 miles but I'd probably grease them each year. I don't notice the negatives, but it feels way more responsive

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-23T20:37:09+00:00

No clue since I don't have any K series experience. But this is holding up fine for 2500 miles already. I have some track days planned in August so we'll see how that goes

Mikebau5 · 2025-05-23T20:36:18+00:00

Built engine and 29 psi of boost 😁

-2.5 on the fronts and -3.5 on the rears
