Spyder Mag

[tonybhall]

Hey everyone,

Thought some of you might find this interesting. I saw on AO where a guy had modified a spyder e-frame to fire his mag. I thought this was a great idea since it was a cheap way to go electro and b/c there are so many upgrades for spyder frames.

I told my team mate about it and after two days of working on it, he has a working prototype. The grip frame is from a spyder imagine. Keep in mind when you watch the video that the spyder imagine board is capped at 12 or 13 bps. He plans to upgrade to a faster board.

He says it was pretty simple to do if you have machine tools. He said it can be done in about 2 hours. Depending on what all you wanted, this mod can be done for between $90 with a base spyder trigger frame, or for $189.00 you can upgrade to a 50g micro switch, T-board (36 bps) with eyes and a blade trigger.

Click in the link to PBN again. It has additional info!

*** Update: We have found another cool aspect to this mod. The mag is much more efficient. Or at least, it shoots deeper into the tank. Before, we could not shoot much past 1000 psi. Now, Daniel has been able to get down to around the 500 psi mark on his tank.

veeerry interesting, if it works, and i get my mag, I'm VERY interested...

[Backyard Bandit]

Will it work on a ReTro valve? And where is this guy because I'm in the maket for a trigger frame, and actually like the spyder frames. Hey, you could add a trigger stop to remove the post-fire pull from the micro-swich... I'll do that... muhahahaha!

Umm... the link didn't work for me. Could someone who doesn't have a stoneage computer please copy and paste the info here please? Also, is he selling them or what? If he is, I might buy one. Or if it's easy enough, I'll modify my own.

My marker (new ULE X-valve) will cycle right down to the 400psi mark as indicated by my tank gauge. I know that all gauges have a 10% margin of error; let's say it's really 440psi. Am I lucky? I have seen other people post about not working under 1000psi, and I don't understand. I know the X-valve uses 450psi internally, and likes to be fed at least 650psi to avoid starvation.
BTW, this is my first mag, so please bear with me if this is a sophomoric question. :)

Gaaah! Too bad I have no clue how to do any of the work you posted about on pbnation. I'm so not mechanically inclined. Any chance your buddy might do this for a price?

Hey Ronin Baller, I would say that yoyur guage is VERY far off, mine would not work below 800. Ive tested it against 3 tanks too

[AkumA]

true, under 800psi on either an AIR valve (and especialy a retro) is farfetched.

Shweet. Just got a Mag from one of my friend's and have a e-spyder sitting right next to it. it's a loaner so I could put the old frame back on. WOOOOOOOOOOT.
