@“Jasen Hicks” Hey dude, are those new EZ MOD boards for the TE2+ or just the original TE2 sticks?
The ones pictured above are TE2. I also have TE2+ ones on the way for EVO.
Something from all the good guys in the community that understand the meaning of community.
A little bit from everyone in the community. Custom art by @hibachifinal (that I will be giving away free at EVO with panels folks buy), Artwork printed/cut by Tek-Innovations.com/Art’s Hobbies, a Jasen’s Custom Creations MadCatz TE2 Panel in Sega 1P glory, replacement buttons from ArcadeShock (since the stock ones all broke when I took them out, a TE2 #EZMOD and Brook Universal Fighting Board inside. Happy #FightStickFriday
A new challenger has entered the ring. Forget what you thought you knew…
Panzer Fight Stick: Quick Fire - EVO 2016 Exclusive?
Just wanted to come in and give props to @“Jasen Hicks” for great customer service. I was able to get in on the last batch of the og panzers and when I got it four of the screw brackets that were welded somehow broke and I couldnt screw the case together. Several months had past and I really wasnt able to bring it to his attention as soon as I would’ve liked to as I got laid off, moved in with my gf then proposed, and looking for a job. I understood I probably was too late but Jasen and the guys at the shop are talking care of it when they didn’t have to considering the time that has passed. It’s customer service like this that brings new customers in and keeps customers returning. THANKS JASEN…continue doing what you do.

Hey Jasen are your VLX aux panels regular steel or stainless steel? Just wondering because the screw-in buttons steel nut scratched the paint off the backs while tightening them and don’t want it to slowly corrode or rust or anything like that.
They are cold rolled steel, so I would recommend adding a touch of paint to the nicks if you live in a humid area.
I think I am finally rested up after being underway and then going straight to Vegas for EVO2016. It was such a great experience and I learned a lot! First and foremost, I have to thank the following people for helping make it happen:
@TRIEU - ArcadeShock.com was kind enough to let me use part of their booth to sell panels, panzers, and do some basic modding. They were wicked busy all weekend with a three hour line from 0800-2300 both days. I applaud the patience from everyone who waited to snag things.
@hibachifinal - What a killer cat. Just as nice in person as he is on the forums and a tremendous worker. I know he was instrumental in the success at the booth.
@SodNine - My right hand man all weekend who travelled all the way from Alabama to assist. If I needed it, he was there ready to support. In fact, I think he’s a better sales person than I am!
@Vicko, @Gummo, @DaRabidDuckie - Modders extraordinaire. They killed it all weekend at the Sanwa/Madcatz booth taking on surgery I would only do at home in the comfort of my lab. They did it live and in their hotel room all weekend long. Fortunately, we hung out and watched the Sunday events via Twitch and ESPN2 from the comfort of @Gummo’s hotel room. They worked, I chilled. I think @DaRabidDuckie and I came up with “Let’s Mod and Chill”… no, its nothing like “Netflix and Chill”
I am sure I missed a few people, but I am grateful for everyone who stopped by and said “Hi!” had me do a little work on their sticks or provide some advice/answer questions. Here’s some pictures from the weekend:
HitBox Panel Install with custom artwork provided FREE from @arthong! It was a hit!

Installed a different and possibly better solution for the Hayabusa gate from @armi0024 over at ParadiseArcadeShop.com

One of the FIRST Panzer OGs to be made and wrapped. Juri’s graphics have seen better days but it was awesome to see one of the originals and see how far I have come since. Seriously, one of the first made after the break up with those who shall remain nameless.

Hori VLX Panels don’t have to be like the Vewlix. This is a very spec custom VLX Panel with EGRET II inspired graphics and a Sega 2P layout. I made 6. One for me, five for you. I have a couple left for $89.95 if you are interested 
First come, first serve! These graphics are printed right onto the metal with epoxy ink. WAY BETTER than a sticker/vinyl overlay.

Finally, my custom Balltop stand I designed. It arrived after EVO but I had to get it up and together to display the super sweet Sanwa Balltop additions. I grabbed all 3 new ones this weekend and am glad I did. With those and the 3D massage ball from AracdeShock.com I feel like I have a sick collection of neat/interesting ball and batt tops.
Jasen, is your store open again? I tried to buy some stuff, but you had shut it down.
No, its still closed as I am prepping to deploy. I am doing individual orders for some EVO left overs right now only.
Just message you on here?
Sure, or hit me up on FB.
Hey @“Jasen Hicks”, did you do any 6 button panels? TE2 or VLX?
Hey Jasen do you still do custom superguns?
Edit: Just saw your post, never mind but I’m still interested though if whenever!
I have 2x Astro Panels for TE2 left and have 6 button plexis for it.
Jasen
Quick update:
I added TE2+ EZ MODS and the remaining spec VLX Panels to my FB store for those who want a quick and easy way to order them over the next few days while I can ship still. Here’s the link:
The epoxy printed panels are the truth. If you are thinking about it, just get it.
Just installed the Korean TE2 panel from EVO. Looks and plays very nice! While I like the cool minimalist art I got, is there a file for the art layout so I can make something in the future?
Jasen, do you have any epoxy printed VLX panels left? I’ll take one of each if you do.
^^as in 1 hit box layout and one standard layout
