Well I have been messing around with it for the past couple of months and this is what we have now. We are thinking about placing LED's under the barrel and above the battery, one for an on/off indicator led and one for every time the trigger was pulled. Also we are planning on having a dusted anno job on everything so it can match the body better. Any other ideas what I could put ontop of the battery pack? I was thinking about an emag body rail, but I would have to mill a lot more. There are two being built both black with different color schemes of red and black and blue and black, both are warped and intellified. As well as replacing the booyaah stock grips w/ frymarker tigerstripe ones (go RIT tiger's).

that looks really nice, but does the emag battery pack actually have a use? have you wired the electronic grip into the battery pack? if you havent that would be the first thing to do, and the LED indicators are cool (you could put them in the grip like bushys)

Yes, I am using the battery house, it is using 8x1.2v AAA cell batteries configured to run at a voltage of 9.6, which is what the boo-yaah uses, only difference is the mAh is a lot greater giving it longer indurence. I think I want to put them in the gap.

thats pretty damn awesome! :) Does the retro have any effect on a boo yah though? I think it looks better than a standard emag

Ah, more work done to it eh? Lookin good. Does it always shoot in a hybrid-type mode all the time, due to the ReTro and e-frame? Or did you somehow bypass that...? Very unique looking.

how much was that to get the battery pack put on there?

Well the batteries didn't cost that much, I built the pack myself. That mag is actually my friend's that I built the only difference between ours is his has a red warp, red revy and red freak tip, mine will have the same but be in blue. I made a chromelooking one minus the front battery pack, just uses the low mAh battery.

Thats my mag. I love it! Yay for mags. Customizing is so fun and easy :). Who knows maybe me and hostage will start making those and selling them. Post if you think you would want one and we'll see if that would be something we would like to do. We have it down to a Science now so post if you want one :).

Very nicely done. Do you do any work with the other Boo Yaah frames (for other markers). If not, know where I can get Mako's contact info (I'd heard they've moved to a new location, and can't find their info).

Id sure like to see how they perform :) What does the retro do with an electronic frame though :confused: sorry I dont know much about booyahs at all

Thanks....

Boo-yaah they are moving from what Havblue has told me. I can do some repairs on the frames depending on what is happening as well as installing them on the mags. Never messed around with the booyaah on other markers but I hear they are easier to install.

The Retro valve, RT, and Emag valves are all the same with differen't on/off pins etc. It is basicly a electronic only LCD emag. However I am thinking of placing a new board in it. Well I'll keep yall updated.

If you were thinking of making these, would they be from scratch, or an upgrade to an existing rt mag.
