    What! no more E-mags/X-mags?

    I recently called AGD and asked when they would be making custom E-mags again.
    I asked cause they are making RT's again so I did not think it was too out of reach.... I was wrong. I was told that AGD will no longer be making any E-mags/X-mags. Why?
    Well I guess its back to the Spyder-mag search, or consider the RT.
    Any one out there thinking of selling there E-mag/X-mag. Please let me know or even a spyder-mag.

    SP Issues them a C&D letter a while back, end of story.

      Roman told me they DID plan to make emags again, they are just out of battery housings and pc boards. He didn't know when they would order more.

          Never any C&D letter issued.

            first. theres was no c&d letter by SP. second, there will be no more Emags. expecting a new emag in the future is like waiting for the second coming of christ. Aint gonna happen. thanks Snoopay, i love your quote.

              Like mechanic said, Tuna can still build you one. Why would AGD make more, faced with possible litigation, and the fact that their current stock still hasn't sold out?

                I don't think AGD can build E Mags from stock parts anymore ; I think Tuna bought 'em all

                  To set the record straight:

                  We were contacted by SP about potential violations under their previous patent on the shocker. This was not the patent they ended up sueing everyone on. This told us we were not immune in the long run.

                  We were told by high level individuals in the company that they didn't see anyone that they believed was not in violation of their patents.

                  We were never contacted about violations under the latest patent that everyone else was sued for but we figured we were on the list.

                  When it came time to think about revamping the emag there were several considerations:
                  The investment in a new design
                  Once we commited to a new design and the money, if we were sued it would mean we would have to commit to a license.
                  We didnt have the money to do both the license and the revamp.
                  The odds of coming up with a succesful product that could cover the costs of the development and the license were low.
                  Overall money risk against likelyhood of success we determined was not worth the risk reward ratio.

                  Thats why we didn't go on to make another Emag. RIP.

                  AGD

                    I know that I am about to sound really dumb but... I never knew why all there was all the hostility towards SP till just now. I'm glad I didn't get that Shocker.

                          some call it faithless, some call it realistic. Just make (or have made) an e-pneu mag.
