    ok, here's a few questions, cause i'm using a intelli frame also, and plan on using the T board and the same noid. Just chopped my intelli up yesterday to make the room, now i gotta get the board and noid, and i'm ready to go.

    a. Is the rof adjustable on the T board to 13.3, even with no eyes? (i'm not using eyes, gonna try to just use the level X, I will be psp ramping most of the time though, so hope the level 10 works ok with that)
    b. did you drill the hole for the trigger switch thru the trigger guard to get the angle like some of the other pneu guides show?
    c. pull that tape off and lets have a looksy !!
    d. the on/off membrane is just pinned inbetween the grip and gripframe ?

    I'm ready to get my project done. I played a tourney saturday and had to shoot my alias WITHOUT MY WARPFEED! My ep mag is gonna be a red ULE left warp body

    OH, AND WHILE I'M AT IT....I was planning on mounting my lpr (ans jackhammer II atm) to the other side of my asa, and running the hose and the warpfeed wire up thru the bottom of the intilli frame . Does anyone see a problem where that would be a bad idea, or just wont work?

      a. utb manual I believe with no eyes it should be the same as with eyes(just the board will act like a ball is always in the breach)
      b. my switch is located right behind the trigger. If you look at the close up shot of the saftey you can see it there. You will have to widen this area to fit the switch, and also cut the back "nub" off your trigger. This is simply the ONLY place to mount the switch in the intelli that ive found.
      c. in a minute i'll pull the internals out and show it all
      d. yep, just stuck to the grip frame right under the corner of the grip. It wont work for a normal one though, I cut 2 of them up(i had a few) so one is a power switch and one is the eye switch, and they can be located away from each other

      I wont lie it is tight in there....I even had to grind down the actuating arm of my sear so the noid could fit nice and tight to the ram(not much...probably 3/16, but its no good for going back to mechnical, i bought one specifically for this just in case I feel like going back).

      You shouldnt have any problem with your LP hose/wire route, just dont pinch them.

      WickedKlown2....doh again, no Home Depots close to me....looks like i'm stuck with the sexy ghetto screw

        Well heres some more pics hopefully you guys can get a better idea of whats going on:
        Airline route:










        In the last picture you can make out the switch placement too. The electrical tape on the sides of the ram actually holds the noid tight against it underneth....its not there to hold the ram in any way.

        Membrane simple, yet so effective:


        Internals; It is basically a noid sandwich with the ram and the board being the bread:




        If your using an intelliframe you must get the ram flush with the top of the frame.....if you dont, your probably going to run out of space.

        LMK if you want any more pics....I'll keep it apart till I get they eyes installed.

          you shaved the back of the trigger off to make room, could the back of the trigger actually be used to engage the switch instead of the middle adjustment bolt? Or ya think the tolerance would be too close to get it just right? or possiblly not be enough room to place the ram correctly? Great thread btw, just what I was lookin for to clear up ideas I had before I finished mine up.

            ehhhh, the first time I did it I used the back of the trigger like you said. If you choose to do that way you have to bend the switch lever to get it to activate at the right point.....to bend the lever you have to take the switch in and out a bunch of times to get it right.

            Either way your going to have to cut it down some....because if you dont the back of the switch will be where the ram needs to go.

            Overall I found it much easier to chop the back of the trigger off and add another setscrew. Plus you have the added benifit of being able to easily adjust it whever and whenever you want without taking anything apart.

              ahh, gotcha, the full adjustability of the trigger angle would be nice...

              I was thinking of using the lighter switch, but seeing as I'll be using ramp mostly , i donno if the lever switch maybe enough.

                Just make sure the switches are the same size and shape....you should be able to switch one out for the other if you want to.


                I just used the stock switch I recieved with the T board....i think its 50g(not sure though). If you go with a lighter switch you might have to use a magnet return.


                dont forget the closer to the pivot point you put the switch....the lighter it will feel. (within reason...ie dont put it on the pivot and expect it to work that well)

                  One more question: What ram did you use?

                  Very very nice project. Let me ask you, have you shot a mag that had a normal electric frame? One of those sear tripper frames like the hyperframes? How does your mags EP compare to the tripper?


                  Oops, need another question: How much does the total rig weigh?

                    i used the standard ram for pneumags....the mpa3. just used a cut down bolt for the actuating pin

                    I havent shot the sear tripper frames....but my trigger is about the same as my ion with a t-board in it. It is MUCH lighter than my stock bushmaster.


                    Weight.....my LPR didnt add any weight because I cut off the foregrip for it. So only added weight would be the 9 volt and electronics, but I took a lot of material out of the frame....so its probably the same weight as a RT pro.

                    Once the eyes are installed; if i remember, I'll get a final weight.

                      I forgot to include a few pics last night:

                      This is how the noid sandwich fits in the gun:






                      (the kink in the line wasnt there be4, I think once its pressurized it wont matter, but I'll be fixing it anyhow)

                      And a pic just to show how short the airline is between the noid and ram

                        well, It has finally begun. I finished up my dremel work on the frame today (sheesh, hope i'm finished anyway), got my trigger switch wedged in nice and snug where it's gonna sit. Man, when you said it was a tight fit to get all this in a intelli frame, you were'nt kiddin!! So, here's what i'm guessin gonna be my next steps. Gonna put a set screw in to hold the trigger switch in place (did you only use 1 set screw for the trigger switch?), gotta put 2 stop screws in the trigger, get my noid, board, and ram all snugged together and hooked up( gotta ton of access wire it looks like), and probly drill out the hole in the bottom of my grip a bit to make room for my lpr hose and my warp feed wire.

                        Now, you mentioned you had to cut some of your sear off? How much did you cut off? I can see why you would have to, as tight as the switch and ram are wedged in.

                        Gonna be a red ULE, level X , warp left, X valved, intelli grip , setup. I cant wait to show the pics!

                            Now, you mentioned you had to cut some of your sear off? How much did you cut off? I can see why you would have to, as tight as the switch and ram are wedged in. it may not be required, it really depends on how everything is fitting together, but I ground the sear down slightly past the hole where the clevis attaches. My ram was hitting well above the portion I cut off so really it is not needed.

                            Gonna be a red ULE, level X , warp left, X valved, intelli grip , setup. I cant wait to show the pics!
                            cant wait for the pics! oh and one other thing, be careful when you tighten your grip screws, the way mine is setup the go right against the noid, but I shortened them so they tighten up on the frame be4 they pinch the noid.(you can see the impression of the screw in the tape in a couple of the pictures from test fitting)

                            what do you mean? its not even visible when the cover is on the reg. Anyway I got a new micro rock and put on there, now the reg doesnt protrude out the bottom of the foregrip. But the hose is still ran the same way....really its the only way I could come up with to keep the hose compeletly hidden. The tape is just there to hold it tight to the LPR. If you mean the placement of the hole that the hose goes through; it cannot be placed anywhere else, because if you look at the fittings on the RT pro forgrip, it is almost all hollow and pressurized.
