The title explains itself, I own a Spirit Halloween 85% Size Proton Pack and don't exactly want to buy a whole new pack for modding/decorating. I'd also prefer stuff on the cheaper side!

As always, it really depends on how much you want to do and what kind of budget you have. Also what you want to do with it: display, troop, Halloween, etc. I did one for my son and I'd say the must have(s) would be to replace the mobo (whether you amke your own or buy one) and add an ALICE frame. The stock straps will work, but you'll be happier you upgraded.

If you want, theres some great kits out there to replace the fittings with real ones and with better tubing. It gives it a definite cosmetic upgrade.

If you are so inclined, replacing the electronics is another option too. I'd just replace the wand while you're at it.

Etsy and this site are your best friends when it comes to modding. Both for ideas and parts.

Jaxson, take this from someone who built my first pack 20 years ago...ive made/modded 4 traps, the spirit full size, the haslab 84 wand, and an ECU...
DON'T!!! Love your toy for what it is. Don't go down this wonderfully intriguing, rewarding, detailed, devisive, obsessive rabbit hole.
No toy will ever be accurate enough. Save your money and either build or buy your own accurate pack.
