Warp Adaptor for VF bodies

[tyrion2323]

Hi guys - here's a thought I had about making an adaptor for slugg bodies, such as the Dallara / Karta (since they are my favorite milled bodies!)

It would screw into the VF port like a high rise, and would have angel threadings; however, it would angle downwards, like the old warp bodies.

Here's a picture

that is a really good Idea to bad I have a warped mini vertibrate you should try that with cocker threaded too alot of people would like it

It's been discussed before,there's just doesn't seem to be enough warp users to justify it's production.RogueFactor makes a threaded neck that accepts the 90* warp adapter directly.That's about as close as it gets.

Roges adapter > you

[tyrion2323]

Rogue's adaptor doesn't address the issue of having that large, bulky 90* adaptor as well - basically it's just an adaptor for an adaptor. My adaptor would look basically like the old SS warp bodies, and would reduce the profile even better.

Prove It!

[tyrion2323]

Here is the proof. Thanks to my trusty Microsoft Paint, I whipped up this comparison. I'm not bashing Rogue's adaptor, I'm proposing ideas for a new one.

Right now, Rogue's adapter is the best solution out there. Big bulky 90* adapter. Big deal, guess what? Your adapter isnt going to be much better unless you find a way to make a paintball smaller temorarially while you shove it through a pin sized hole so you have a smaller adapter. The size of the adapter is limited to the size of the paintball. If you made a screw in alumminum one, you would save about half an inch. Big deal, not worth the money. You can spend 10 on rogues adapter or 40 on this little gizmo. I would also like to note that the adapter has such a low profile (besides being so tall, I mean thickness) that it is pretty hard to hit, and I dont think 1/2 of an inch is going to make a hell of alot of difference.
Now, I'm not saying its a bad Idea, but it's impractible, if you can get what I'm saying...

proof with hosing attached.

[tyrion2323]

ack - here is the hosing bit

[personman]

Good arguement, but not completely true.
With RogueFactor's adapter, the 90* is completely flat against the body. You have a space, which is wrong.. and unfair.

[personman]

Even with your hose drawing, you can see that the difference between the two wouldnt be enough to justify the price, IMO. However, you may feel different about saving 1/2" off the top of your gun, I am just pointing out things here.

[RRfireblade]

I also don't think your feeding paint reliable at that much over 90*.

[smilestyler]

To me it looks like it wouldn't thread on either. The feed tube would hit the side of the body before the first turn.

Folks, the real answer is to just wait. TK has stated that after the tac-one release and a few other projects AGD will make warp slugs.

I ditched my warp till then or until my x-mag comes. BTW my Karta should arrive tomorrow via fedex.

One thing I'd like to know, how do you screw in your feed neck? In your pic, the side where the hose attaches to is lower than the top of the body, that is if it's a one piece. It would prevent you from getting any lower like in your pic.

yeah, i just noticed that too. I'm guessing thats why Rogue's is 90*'s

[Gabriel]

he's got you there... :D

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

why doesnt anyone make a metal warp adapter like this?
then people could use the 90degree adapter for a small profile.. or just atach the hose directly to it. this could be warp left, right, back?? or other positions. seems like a good idea to me.

[LudavicoSoldier]

Thats what ive been saying for awhile now. I love the idea, but it seems that the cost to produce would not be worth it due to the small market it would cater to.

[RoadDawg]

Doesn't proteam have something ike that. Anyways. Rogue's fills the void of what if's. What I mean by that is that adapter saves you from buying a new warp body. In which case if you have a warp body and your warp burns out or whatever you won't be able to continue playing due to the side feed. This way if your warp goes you can still run a hopper on top of the marker with a simple replacement of the adapter with the feed cup. Although I'm all for new & creative ideas this one still needs some work. As most have pointed out it'd hit the body on the first half turn or so.

Your adapter wouldnt be any smaller than rogues adapter.
Like I said, machined alluminum is going to be much more expensive.

anybody have a link to the page where Rouge sells his adapter?
