got a standard emag 1.37 software. Will the new board fit straight in and have an option to disable eyes? If this is a yes I will order it right now. Just wanna clear this up cause I only saw posts saying that you need to drill holes and install your own eyes.
Please clear this up for me :rolleyes:

from what i read..you can run it with the option of no eyes.. just have the eye setting turned off .. its just an added perk to have them..

I believe one of the buttons on the back of the grip will turn eyes off. I know it was posted somewhere in one of the threads.

I have a TacOne and am thinking to upgrade to the E-Tac. If you were me, what you do to make a good cost effective decision. I want the Pred, thats agreed. Should I purchase a E Frame and build it ? -- A whole E Tac lower? --- What would be the best choice for price? New/used??

Check out the TAG forums. Look at my thread (SN: MINDJOB - E/Xmag drop in board)

Bob said the following:

lets just give it a few days. This is the slow time of the year for stuff like this so it might take a bit longer to get some interest going. I have already had another company contact us concerning purchasing the rights to release and wholesale this so it must be a gooooooood idea


next post by

This will happen. Will it happen now? that is up to the people in the preorder. If this does not work then we will simply do a refund to everyone and build this at the first of next year like we had planned.
__________________

NEXT YEAR? UGH!!!!!!!!!

People, we need to lead the charge. I dont know what else I can do to get the word out.
If this falls through and we have to wait until next year, or, NEVER, than I am going to go off on the next MAg shooter that cries that he is being 'outshot' by someone with a newer gun.

Where are the rest of us? Where are all of the people who I've seen moan about their emags?

Get off of your butts and go pre-order. :mad:

Once 2-3 people have this mod, the last 50 boards will likely sell like crazy. I am certain that 3.2 software is not even a comparison, but it will take a few people to show off what the pred can do before anyone gets too excited. When these are all sold out, that's when people will cry again for them.

He's like the Pred Board Poster Child.

While I dont own an Emag, the Predator Timmy that Ryan Shanks (Logic Paintball) hooked me up with was so blazingly fast. The Pred Was alot of fun to play with, but I had to ditch the timmy due to odd reasons.

Next time I use a pred will be in my DC FSP Vik.....<3
I hope you guys enjoy those boards.

Yes, it does. However, what I am talking about is the ability to easily put the marker into a "manual" mode that does not activate the solenoid when the trigger is pulled but DOES activate the warp interface. 4.x does this (short pulse to the solenoid that doesn't move the solenoid but does trigger the warp).

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way saying the mag sucks because, well, it doesn't. I've owned a few over the years(in fact I just found about 4 boxes of mag stuff in my attic, including a full RTClassic and enough parts to build 3 full mags. Stay tuned for a massive B/S/T thread after I look through it all).
It's just mags aren't eye candy or a hype machine, so kids today don't know that the mag is a great rec or scenario gun.

BigEvil
06-20-2005, 01:57 PM
Yeah, thats all true, and its been said 1000xs before.

For people who love their e-mags, the Predator board will put them on a even playing field with the other uber guns.

The fact is, AGD was late into the electro market. They waited to see if there were going to be any issues, legal or other wise.

If it werent for the sue-happy mentality that is permiating the industry right now, im sure AGD would have up dated or refined the e-mag long ago. When the Xmag came out, i thought for sure that was the direction they were going.

Now we all sit and wait for a day that will never come. Many of us have already discovered the benafits of some of the newer guns and moved on. I always thought that taking the 'upgrade' path was nothing more than a waste of money. I remember throwing a few hundred bucks into my VM-68 back in the day, and it was still far lacking vs. the 68 automag. So, realizing my mistake, I bought my first mag and never looked back.

Now I feel things are different. The technology difference between high end e-guns is minimal at best... the real benafit is in the software that is running the guns. Even a gun that can CYCLE 30 times a second at best can only fire as fast as it is fed. Even at best it will be in the mid to high 20's (Maybe) and this is ONLY with the assistance of the software.

This is where the new Predator board will come in. I think that an Emag equiped with the Predator board TAG is proposing will have a nice advantage over many of the guns already out. How many have programable ramp? How many can adjust the eye delay specifically for the hopper you are using? How many guns can actually fire a ball at those speeds with consistant velocity, let alone no shoot-down?

Not to mention, adding on a few other goodies that most mag users have been clamoring for since it came out. (can you say "On/off switch"?)

Im sure that something as simple as a replacement board will not re-energize the paintball world about the Emag. I probably will keep more emag owners from trading up though...

just my $.02

It's really to bad that the mag is nearly non existent. Think about it, he sells 50 boards which would put 50 Emags on the field in America. Thats 50 out of 7 million players a year. The board will be cool for those that have an Emag, but it will in no way revitalize AGD. Sad really. :( I do honestly hope the 50 that buy the board rip apart some Intimidator or other shooters and enjoy it!:)

I'll be taking my Pred morlock out & replacing it with this so I can get the Xmag eye to finally work right. The on/off on the back & and a warp port are just a bonus :)

Besides, I have 2 coming (hehehe) I wonder if anyone else does?

When we finally get our boards we need to post pics and videos of them in action. That will be the best thing for sales.

It wasn't an attitude. I've been playing 16 years all over the US, in rec, tourney and big game. All except AO days. Including mine, do you know how many mags I've seen? 7. Face the truth. No one but the AO crowd cares for mags at all.

SO??? Why does that seem to bother you so much? I could care less what anyone shoots.. as long as its shooting at or under 300fps. Everyone has their own preferences. I know a guy who shoots a Vector....AND ??? If EVERYONE shoots, say TIMMIES that affects me how?

I dont want what EVERYONE else has. The rest of the mindless sheep can follow the herd. If I choose to buy another marker one day, I will. How does that affect ANYONE else in the world except the place I buy it from?

.... the point is what? That TAG wont sell 100 Emag boards? Eventually they will. Will it put 1000 more Emags on the field? Hell no. The only way that will ever happen is if Dye buys AGD. Has the EMAG gotten to be such a dinosaur that no one can play with it? I doubt it. 20bps isnt fast? Oh wait, no Ramp. No eyes. Isnt that the point of the Predator replacement board?

Ive been playing 16 years also... In many parts of the country. Ive played one tourny. That was one too many. I hope that the AO crowd that frequents AUTOMAGS.ORG would care about mags. Kinda makes sense? The difference between here and other owners groups is that here it is ok to own other markers and not get flamed.

The bottome line is: get out and play ball.
(which by the way I am dying to do since everyone of my crew is wussing out for the last 2 months)

Face the truth. No one but the AO crowd cares for mags at all.

Even if this was true why do you have to keep bringing it up in EVERY thread where we are trying to do fun new things for Mags?

Just give it a rest for once and let everyone else have there fun without raining on the parade.

You post on AO for what reason then?
I do own a Mag, I don't use it anymore but still own it and I do recognise it's shortcomings so that is why I no longer shoot it.
But why do many people use older pc's mine is fast enough for what I want to do so no upgrade will be needed for quite some time but it is way behind entry level pc's now. Compare this to a Mag and yes a Mag in standard form IS below the new entry level markers (Ion's etc...there just to make you happy ;)) but people like them as they are (well they do swap barrels and grips but you know what I mean) Nothing wrong with someone wanting a reasonably reliable marker that can be self serviced with a minimum of trouble. The grenade pin is the most likely thing to actually break/bend, other than that it is O ring failures...seems quite simple to me and the strip down is easy too. I shoot an Angel and although I find the servicing simple enough I would be the first to admit it isn't easy for everyone to do. In fact the worse marker other than a cocker to service was an old school Shocker as the timing was all about "feel" not precise settings.

now If they can come up with a 9v conversion...

Well, if you're willing to try, put in a ULT, and try this solenoid (just need to get a solenoid mounting nut made, try Luke here on AO).

in all honesty ... i love guns people dont think can hang with them.

I am going to buy the pred board for my X for sure.
i have a predator board in my 2k1 adrenaline angel, a gun most people think is outclassed, yet it is still seeing tourny play. In fact, i use my 4 year old angel over my Viking and Xmag.

WARPED, your comments always seem to try to bring peoples excitement down.
you know what, ive been playing for 6 years and if i count all the mags ive seen including mine i would say it would be upwards of 80. the last two tournements ive been to someone had an Emag ( they wherent from AO either). so maybe in your area you dont see many mags, but that doesnt mean people arent using them.

i will defently buy this board. plus we are almost at the mark.

does the pred. use the batt pack?
oh well, I just added my name to the list, wasn't sure at first but when I watched the video gunga made and realized that it was 20$ cheaper to preorder, I knew if I waited around I would buy one anyway

Yes. It's basicly plug and play unless you want to install the eyes. In that case you'll hve to have the eye holes etc drilled.

You need the battery pack to drive the huge noid. If you don't want to use the battery pack (9V mod or something) you'll need to replace the stock noid with one of the little ones like in the Spyder frame.

This is great. Im starting to get excited about this. I am glad I opened my mouth to ask Bob about it in the first place. :D

If all goes well, by August we may have our Predators!!

I think we are on about +- 35 boards ordered now! But as Big_Evil said there could be guys out there with emags that have ordered and dont come to this site.
The board will fit into a Tac-one as well hey? seeing its the same handle and all, Maybe that will help get a couple more orders :D

Well said.

And Welcome to AO

Thanks Big Evil. The only area in which my Emag falls a bit short of my Freestyle is in the weight department, and we are now on a strict ule weight loss program. :)

So what you've saying is that this is more of a spiritual upgrade more than a mechanical/electrical one? Sounds good to me. I'm always up for a spiritual upgrade. ;)

Sorry for my late reply. I just got back from a trek 5 day to Sedona, Az. :) I've always thought that tuning any mechanical device be it a car, motorcycle, lawnmower, or paintball gun to peak performance is a kind of spiritual experience. What works for me might not work for you so the more options we have will give each of us a better opportunity to become one with our machines. ;)

LOL nice. Too bad there is no way around that massive battery pack. The good thing though... is a charge will last almost forever.

Hey guys, im not hating the battery pack. I just have grown to like having throw away 9v batteries instead of a rechargable.

I dont know about the rest of you, but im getting impatient for the Predator boards.
