ck3/xtractor alternative Link

Came across this earlier, looks very cool.

Comes with a probe of its own included, looks like a great alternative to maximus rip off and CK3 faulty kits.

give it a couple of months and these things will be peanuts

dont remember CK3 kits being faulty? i remember the software sucked on it thats about it lol...

anyways, english you would be surprised...

its still 40 quid though, my bro in law paid less for his WORKING CK3 with probe, so not really cheaper?

My ck3 lite does not power off drives when the switch is off.

Numerous accounts around the 360 forums.

Oggys documented the same thing.

[HELP] Connectivity kit set on fire - Page 2 - Team Xecuter

i was going to say i had no probs with my Pro, is it just a lite thing? which drive does it do this with? i havent done a hitatchi yet

pro + probe is about £35 including shipping to UK only takes a few days

unsure but i think the maximus is even cheaper

and if u want to go cheaper you can make yourown on a breadboard

From T-X own forum, no TX staff has replied in this thread:

When I was about to read something from a LiteOn the CK3 burned. Just like it burned before (sparks and smoke - god knows how fast I've removed the power from my PC)

How:
- Turned the PC on
- On windows, turned the CK3 on WITHOUT the USB.
- Turned the CK3 off.
- Connected the USB.
- Turned the CK3 on. BURNED! Instantly after I've turned it on.

I've managed to flash around 12 Xbox360 before with the CK3 and around 80 before without one.

Now what Team Xecuter?


1st try, 1st track burned.





2nd try, same "track" burned.






Maximus is 43 pounds and $14 shipping.

So no its defo not cheaper.


And although your brother in law may not of had a problem there is problems with ck3s.

And we are all quite aware that you can get a ck3 and probe, pointing out a new alternative cant do any harm.

how werried is that mine burnt same track bridged it with solder and it works fine
wonder if there is a problem
with mine i hocked up a hitachi drive and it burnt
