Found this on Ebay, are they really that expensive?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...ectorid=229466
dunno, never seen one that complete:rolleyes:
thats on/off is a RARE item
I've been bidding on it. (stopped at $225) I wanted it but it went just above my max bid. It's nice but too rich for my blood at its current bid price. Lol
With all the original stuff, yes.
I have two of those on offs :)
I've seen them in the $150 range for the frame only. Usually they are missing any type of charger and the trigger guard around that price. Almost all I've seen recently did not come with the on off assembly either.
I bet it sees over $250. I've been watching it as well since the day it was posted but it went WELL above my max. Crazy it started out at $25, lol
Didnt know these were so popular all of a sudden. I have a couple of them, and they are fantastic. I dont have chargers for them. Do have on/offs. For those prices I may part with one. If anyone is interested????? :ninja:
This is why out of all the stuff people have proposed to do to classic mags I say someone bring back an electro frame. Nothing fancy since ramping and full auto is banned anywhere except your back yard. And I ran a hyper for a couple years in tourneys and regular play with no shootdown or ill effects, my buddy with an Angel back in the day actually liked my mag with the hyperframe over his brand new $1200 Angel.
If someone pieced together a decent board with a clapper, then got together with a current milling company (Luke, Doc,XMT) they could set up to mill current frames. Cut the cost down by not having to produce an entirely new frame. With the cost of basic electronics you could count on maybe $50 for a decent electronics setup and say, $120-$150 for the milling on intellis, 90's, benchmarks etc. And theres a sub $200 electro. And I doubt milling would be that high if ULE milling by Luke is only $35, thats already half the milling right there to open it up....
Just sayin
Funny about the price since I don't think I paid that much for mine when it was new, still have all of it though it needs a new board.
I'd be in for a new electro frame for sure! Lets get the ball rolling lol
maybe i should buy it?:rolleyes:
LOL, Id be down as well. They are all disappearing or dead now days. And even the Spyder frames for a Spydermag are getting harder and harder to find.Quote:

I think I have one lying in the car ... will see if I can find it.
Yes I have stuff everywhere. I filled the house and then the garage ... what have we left? ... yes the car ... I go out and check ...brb
Haha, so all of our hard to find splash/ electro/ rare parts are in a car in Sweden? :cry:Quote:

I never thought there'd be a world in which you could buy a mag with a Hyperframe installed for <$200 and a standalone BooYah knockoff is $250 or more LOL

Found it, was under the passenger seat...
A new battery and...yep it works.:dance:

My point is that's what happens when you set these guys on a low production run of a fancy and unique setup (i.e. 90* frame, scratch built, special grips, etc) and it ends up at $400. I'm guessing they could scratch build a very plain 45* frame (like the old Zenitram Bushmaster frames) for cheaper, like $200-$250 and make it in such numbers that it could be sold through actual retailers. Modifying existing frames can be more difficult.Quote:

The ule milling is set up already for most frames, make a pocket for the clapper, a recess in the front strap for a trigger switch and its pretty much there...Quote:

Lacks the on/off. What is the difference compared to the standard one?
Is it possible to have a standard on/off to work?
"Just thinking how lucky you are that this is AO and not PBN "
well, since you had to say something...
Pics or shens!!!
The on off that came with these actually uses an emag/rt/x valve on off pin... the difference is the housing is made like the classic on off... ill take pics, be back in 5Quote:

Thanks:)
Yeah no doubt,better class of folks here.:-)Quote:

I would definitely be Interested in a new run electro frameQuote:

With my short fat fingered mole hands, not everything is a great fit, and I'm finding out the hard way that I need a fairly roomy trigger guard. (Always had one before so i never appreciated the potential shortfall but the new airwalk is a bit on the small side.)
That said, if it does fit the ergonomic bill or even come close, I'm now in the unexpectedly happy position of bein able to afford something really nice
So yeah tentative sale right here
The bigger problem you run into in regards to a roomier frame, is the layout of the gun. It is very possible to use or make a larger area with the trigger guard, but you would have to run an rt length rail. The setup on an am/mm rail has the foregrip basically touching any frame made for a mag.Quote:

Multiple frames would potentially drive up cost a lot. Still might be viable
Edit: That said I expect I'll find myself looking into modding an existing frame from somewhere else. I had a quick look at that UTB thing... Might try that road
I just wanted to add that I got a booyah for my spyder back in the day, returned in after one day of playing with ti. That thing was a piece of garbage.

Somewhere in the same ballpark if everything else works and just needs a battery. Maybe a little lower?Quote:

Are you talking about emag lowers or a booh yaah? I was answering Hals question above :)Quote:

In the original instructions it said when you did a fresh battery change you have to discharge the remaining power that is stored in the (capacitor/resistor???) And you do this by touching the +/- together (I always used an Allen wrench from my tool box). I had one of the early early frames so I do not know if they changed things over time with this procedure?Quote:
