ACE Board vs. Predator II! Round 1!

[Empyreal Rogue]

Okay, the purpose of this thread is to squeeze as much information on these two boards as possible. I know which is obviously better but for 60 dollars I might be a little happier with the ACE Board.

The ACE is very sensitive, reflects light off paint and is the standard board in the X-Mag. A lot of people say it's faulty but so many people use X-Mags and never complain about the Eye system, so it can't be all that bad- right?

The Predator Board I have heard nothing but goodness about it. At 130 dollars, that's not a -BAD- price but is it necessary to pay that much? This is board allows unlimited BPS with the Eyes on and the board is TINY!

Am I spending too much on the Predator, or am I wasting my money on the ACE?

I only want to hear personal experiences with either board. Not, "Oh well I read here that..." That's not what I'm looking for. You don't have to own one or the other, just have had personal experience.

*Note* I will buy one of those two, but which is yet to be decided. I know they work only on electronic markers and I'm getting one for my E-Mag, this isn't for my Mechanical Setup.

Have you looked into the Morlock board? It can support both reflective and break beam "eyes". Just thought you might want to check it out, give yourself another option.

[Empyreal Rogue]

I'm not really interested in the Morlock Board. I either want the best I can get, Predator II, or the cheapest, ACE Board. Nothing in between.

[Skoad]

why not interested in morlock?

they are coming out with a new "mini morlock" supposed to be super tiny.

get the predator. the ace boards, while nice, are very prone to fizzling out.... trust me, ive killed 2 very easily. I know dayspring has killed even more than i have!

[Empyreal Rogue]

How do you install the Predator and Eyes? It uses Break-Beam eyes so I don't know how much different it will be than the reflective eye.

Why is the ACE Board so prone to being fried, if you don't mind telling me.

Here's part II of my post:

Is a lower profile worth 95 dollars (Warp Left SS Mainbody and Doc Nickel Automag-to-Autococker thread adapter) and drilling two holes through the Stainless Steel tubes? Or should I get a ULE Body and drill 1 quick hole through the mainbody, since it's so easy to drill through. Please no biased opinions, I need some -honest- opinions on this, it's vital.

People may think Im bias but its only cause its been proven. Predator is only way to go. My DevilMAG's are turning heads all the time. Here is an old vid of mine.

Ive been so busy I havent been able to get a new vid done. With the break beam eyes you can also go back to a foamie lvl 7 to get that extra bit of cycle speed.

Must use ULE body..not enough meat on a SS body
Break beam is just that..the ball breaks a beam so unlike reflective eyes you dont have to worry if the eye can "see" the paint color

GA Devil,

Empyreal is local to me, once I get my new DevilMag and let him try it out you should have another order coming in hehe.

Empyreal,

Just get the damn DevilMag conversion!!!! You won't regret it, screw ur ACE PCB idea...

[Dayspring]

Only one. It took two fryings to kill it.

AGD quality. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

get the predator. the ace boards, while nice, are very prone to fizzling out.... trust me, ive killed 2 very easily. I know dayspring has killed even more than i have!

*slaps Frag*

I'll be more than happy to take the DevilMag for a test run. And you'll have your own Q-Loader then, I can only imagine what videos you'll make. But I want to witness them so make sure you tell me when.

GA Devil, I will be buying the Upgrade. But not anytime soon because I've gotta come up with 400 dollar before Ho buys the Electric Vert. Frame for HIS DevilMag. That way I can have the E-Mag part. heh

[Hey Its Vo]

Have you looked into the Morlock board? It can support both reflective and break beam "eyes".option.
