Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

So I finally got around to modifying the mini Oxygen destroyer that came with this Super7 figure.

It’s only about 1.25 inches long, which won’t obstruct the view of the outlane. But it’s tiny, so you’re going to need some tiny parts to do this. I don’t really feel like buying a bunch of these & modifying them for sale. So here’s what I came up with if someone wants to try their luck….
Here is the Oxygen Destroyer. Yep it sure is tiny, but it has some nice details.

This is the most critical step. Use an exacto knife & pop the dialed end off. Don’t crack the window. Don’t break the shaft of the ball inside. Be patient.

I use sticky wax that I melt to secure the LED & put it the whole thing back together. It’s easier to mange than superglue. Pretty sure I melted these beads into a solid brick using a heat gun. This block will last me forever. I love this stuff.

You’re going to need a very tiny LED, which you can find from a hobby website. I found mine on Evan Designs. You can get them in all kinds of colors, sizes & voltages. I used the CHIP size, which is only a couple millimeters long. Make sure you buy the 5v-12V DC LEDs. Stern lighting is all 5V, so these won’t blow & are still bright enough. They come with the transistor attached already.

I use a wax pen to melt the wax & put some in the cap end. Then place the LED & the wax cools around it, keeping it in place. Be careful, the wires are thin & the LED is tiny. Hope you brought your magnifying glasses! You can test the bulb at your workbench with a 6v battery pack if you want.

Use more wax to place the cap back on the housing. Run the wire out the bottom edge.

You’ll need a mounting bracket. I disassembled an old pop bumper switch I had lying around & used one of the blades cut down to size as needed. Run the wire through a tiny hole. Attach the Oxygen Destroyer using double sided tape.

Time to install. Attach the blade to the post with the screw. My outlane post is set at the conservative position (no apologies) so you can run the wire through the other hole. The wires run to the OD insert. You’ll have to break out your soldering iron. Green wire to the ground, red wire to the other.

That’s it! Mini OD tied to the insert! Not a mod for a beginner but not really that hard either. I just wanted to see if it could be done. If it takes a direct hit from a flying ball, it’s probably breaking. Enjoy!

Quoted from stumblor:

I've never seen them in person, but i'm guessing powerbladez use EL wire to create that effect? If so that would mean that the inverter box you're talking about is AC, so 120VAC - just to add to the complexity even more .
Looks like there's a couple of options. This opto/triac one looks decent

Further down are some discussion around solid state relays that would do the job also, like the S108T01F.
I did some lower level (6.8VAC) AC triggering on the Chase Echo using n-channel power mosfets, with two mosfets wired together to achieve trailing edge dimming. I have no idea if EL wire can be dimmed like that, but wouldn't it be great if powerbladez could get some nice fadey effects going.

Quoted from digitaldocc:

Actually on godzilla I'd want to keep the animation in tact. The flame up sequence is pretty cool. Thats why im thinking a relay to just on/off the 120v input. As far as the inverter control box is concerned I have no idea what's under the hood. I've used El wire before in mods but never to the complexity of what pingraffix pulls off.
Thinking....would be kind of cool to trigger the left blade godzilla (located behind the godzilla toy) to turn on when the magnet is active. Wonder if Joe from pingraffix wouldn't mind sharing his ribbon pinout.
