X-Power Kit - Wiring Q

[UThomas]

I just picked up a non C&C X-mag from Europe. It came with a warp and an uninstalled X-power kit but no instructions. I am planning on getting the E-mag intellifeed cable from AGD and then using this kit to power the warp off the X-mag battery.

I have gotten it to work by touching the wires directly to the batter terminals when the battery is off, but am not sure how to run the wires through the gun. The wires seem way too short to go to the battery that way. Any tips?

BIG WARNING
If you use you E/X mag to power your hopper and/or warp via a power mod. I advise you NOT to use the intelifeed cord. I did this once. I lost the negetive(-) grnd powering the Warp.(the wire broke)
The Warp then pulled the resulting current through the intelifeed wire and FRIED the output pin tha triggers the solenoid and the intelifeed. In short i HAD to Buy New electronics. Only a $200 mistake. It worked well before that though. Both my Warp and revy are running off my Emag but the intelifeed wire is gone. It still works great without it.

You can wire it up through the bottom of the gripframe. There should be a slot under the grip. You can wire/solder the positive lead directly to the board, and put a lug on the negative and use the board hold down srew for the ground. Make sure the lug is small so it doesn't touch anything but the ground on the board.

Thanks guys. Sounds like high drama potential, so I'll probably pass on it...

I'd love to purchase that Xpower kit if you want to sell it. I need it for a project. Let me know. [email protected]
