Predator E/X Mag Drop in board

[BigEvil]

Everyone,

Im sure you are all familiar with the awesome TAG Predator boards. The DIY kits can be a royal pain in the arse to install unless you really know your stuff.

I asked a question to Bob Sandifer over at TAG if they would ever consider a 'drop-in' board for the AGD E-mag series. Here is his resonse:

"Find me 50 people that will preorder and I will start the run of our Emag design."


Im sure there are AT LEAST 50 people here that would be willing to put down (guessing here) about $160 - $200 for a drop in Predator board. With everyone going bonkers for new software, better features, and eye support for their emags, I would think that this is a no brainer.

What do you guys think?

And what would something like this cost?

With Fireware coming out soon, this may be a hard task. As reflashing the board will be cheaper than buying a new one.

And what would something like this cost?

If RRFIreblade is going to charge anywhere in the $100 area for his software, then is $150 - $200 for a predator too much?

I am not at all sure of what either would cost. I am just guessing.

Those little Predator boards pack a big punch. Total control over the marker, various firing modes, support of BOTH break beam and reflective eyes, and they are LIGHTNING FAST.


OH, BTW - just to compare, the TAG Shocker board goes for $160.

if i had another emag sure i'd give it a shot and try it on 1 e over the other but i'd have to see how it preforms

firmware wont cost that much

The most i would pay for it is 60 with fast shipping both to him and back and the work on the gun.

but really i would jest stick with the regular board.

jest never liked the fact of useing aftermarket parts on a mag

i thought jay said it would be somehting like $20 + shipping for fireware... then again, i'm not quite up on the facts...

[PsychoBaller]

Give me 2.8 Software again, or give me death., or did my SFL come with 2.4? ... in anycase..... BAH. more money on modes that you already still dont need as everyone is firing way to damn fast these days, and on products that don't really justify the means for the amount spent on them...

I hear so many people gripe about their emags not being able to keep up with the newer guns. Along comes a great oportunity and no one really seems interested. I am shocked.

Here is the thread from the TAG forums.

E/X-mag drop in board?

Bob also mentioned something interesting about possibly just flashing the Predator code onto a stock AGD board.

Interesting.

Lets show some interest.

Search my old posts. All you need is a mid harness except with the selnoid, since it is connected directly to the emag board. I have no clue why any of our electronics savy dealers has yet to make a $2.00 mid harness and sell it for 20. By God if I had the time I would have started pumping these out last year.

I'm not entirely certain but I'm reasonably sure that Jay said something about the emag board not having a lot of storage capacity for lots of software. I'll try and dig up the quote but not all the predator code is likely to fit onto an emag board.
