Boo-Yaah ELCD Help

[mwerne04]

Another recent acquisition was an old Boo-Yaah ELCD mag frame. From what I can find out, the frame should have come with a new on/off and some other components.

The trouble is that I don't have this supposed special on/off or any additional parts. Also, the frame came with a 9v battery hookup. I'm told that standard alkaline 9v won't put out enough juice and that the original battery (now long gone) was designed to put out about 12v.

I know there has to be someone out there with an ELCD that knows more than I do about it and can help troubleshoot my situation!

Thanks in advance!

if using an x/rt/e/etc valve use a ult for your on/off. If using a classic valve use a rt on/off. You just need a on/off that requires less force than the std one.

Try to find a rechargable battery as it has a higher amperage.

A std battery will work, but wont last long.

IMO you are not going to like the boohyaah frame. They are very finakey.

Thanks for your advice, MANN. I've got an RT Pro so I'll try swapping out the on/off and put in a fresh battery.

What do you think about an Eblade piston in place of the stock one? The thought that I have is that it might trip at a lower voltage.

I will be real honest with you I hate boohyaah frames. I have owned a few in the past, and thyey are always trouble. The board connector is horrible, and usually has to be removed. The noid/cap combination I do not think is the best for the setup. I am not sure if an eblade will do better or not.

If it were me I would put it on the bay, and try to get a set of emag lowers. If not you will more than likely need to get a ult.

They were also designed to use a 9.6v battery.....I have never had any luck with a standard 9v.
