How To Put An Ego Frame On A Mag

[drewkroeker]

I have not found the eye setting after cycling through menus. The board is an 06 stock ego board, I think. If the eye settings/lack of eyes were causing the problem, would the solenoid still click with every trigger pull? Because the solenoid is still clicking, the mpa3 just isn't recharging fast enough.

When my new solenoid gets here I will test it and let you guys know how it goes.

06 Ego manual is here:

There isn't a setting in the menus for enabling or disabling the eye system. However, there is a procedure for turning the eyes off. Here's a snippet from the manual regarding turning the eyes off:

To switch off the Break-Beam Sensor System, press and hold the /\ (up arrow) button for one second (SEE FIGURE 2.4). The eye on icon in the top left hand corner of the LCD screen will change to the eye off (looks like bottom half of a circle?) icon indicating that the Break-Beam sensor has been disabled.

If it's an Ego board in your gripframe, this will definitely prevent you from shooting your gun if they eyes are not turned off. Whether or not you've caused damage to the gun by increasing pressures, etc is a whole nother story. But hopefully you turn your eyes off and you're shooting ropes! This is something that the seller should've told you about either when you bought the gun or afterwards when you were having problems..

Is it just me or are all the images on the front page dead? I sold my angel ir3 last season but am contempleting getting back into the sport. I may build a custom egomag but pictures are worth a thousand words heh!

Hopefully someone on here can help me solve some issues with my egomag. Here's the story:

I bought an egomag on in the BST that wasn't fully tuned. I knew this beforehand so no biggie there. When I gassed it up and turned it on, I could fire one shot, but would have to wait for pressure to build up before the ram could fully actuate and fire again. Think billy ball (for those that haven't heard about it, a quick search on either pbn or mcarterbrown will fill you in ) I tried troubleshooting it myself. I turned up the LPR a bit and when that didn't help, I took apart the ram to see if there was anything I could fix. I took off the o ring on the plunger seat to let it slide better and superglued the plunger to the plunger seat to keep it from falling out (If these terms are incorrect, please advise). This didn't help either so I turned the LPR up further. This blew a hose, possibly damaged the solenoid, and prompted me to search the BST for a good used intelliframe.

I guess paintball withdrawal and winter idleness prompted me to look for a way to get the egomag up and running. I purchased a micro rock from palmers and a new mpa3. The plunger on the mpa3 came loose so it will have to be superglued before further testing. I swapped my old one in, but no luck. I'm still getting one usable shot and then having to wait several seconds before I can fire again. The x valve I'm using has a ult in it, if that has any bearing on the situation.

So, any solutions come to mind? A new or different solenoid might have a faster recharge rate. The solenoid currently in the gun is the SMC SY113A-SG-PM3. The best idea I can think of is to send the entire setup and extra parts to someone who knows what they're doing.

Clean your LPR,
Clean your tank reg,
Lower your dwell to 5ms

Shim the F*#@ out of the ULT.

re-test. let us know.

Aye, the picture links are dead, did anyone find the most suitable solenoid for the job? How well does the the frame work without the ULT installed?

SMC S070 is the best option for the install so far.

Ive been working on a substitution for a while now.

hu picture links are dead. I'll dig around and find them,and rehost.

Assuming size is not a problem, does anyone have a suggestion on what noid is going would be the absolute best? Would a stock etek or ego noid be better than a larger aftermarket noid? And if I did use a bigger noid could I get away with a lesser shimmed ult or even rt on/off?

I have a notion to stuff the noid into one of lukes asa mounted battery packs. I am liking the idea of having the asa next to the lpr, and making cleaner when you pull the grips off. Also, this is running from an etek board at the moment.

Any way the links can be updated for the egomag how to or a new link be made...I really want to do this but deed some help to do so.

pm loguzzzzzz. He has made a bunch.

Or pm me if you just want to buy one that is already modded and ready to go.
