    The illegitimate child of a trauma matrix and dm4

    After many long hours of assembly after she got back from K&P customs for the frame milling she is finally done well at least until i get enough money for anno.

    Specs.
    DM4 frame
    Evolve v1
    Non lbi board with dmc chip
    the rest you can see just by looking at it.


    Forgive the non matching parts and the blue halo I was on a majorly tight budget.

    On to the pics!!





    ^^For anyone who says it doesn't work note the led

    Any suggestions for anno? And yes the non matching parts make it kinda fugly i know.

    Also a big shout goes to rkjunior for providing with alot of the parts

    looks nice, i personally would go for something a bit flashy, like a blue to silver fade? and how come you decided to keep the body and not the frame?

      What modifications did you have to do for it to fit and work?

      and I would have to say for an anno to get black w/ gold plated accents...

        K&P customs milled a tray in the frame to clear the solenoid and drilled and tapped a new rear screw hole. The dm4 noid harness had to be spliced to the stock one and the eyes needed extra wire spliced to them to provide the proper length and the vaa had to be ground down to clear the frame.

        Troen im not sure by what you mean keep the body but not the frame.

          why not a dm4 body instead of the trama trix? sorry if it sounded confusing.

            Its still a trauma matrix it just has dm4 board and eyes you can't interchange bodies of matrix's and dm4's.

                it looks cool, but i would say spend the money on a dm4. I would like it just as a "look what I have you dont" factor.

                    Well the frame milling was pretty darned quick my gun was gone for less then a week. The hardest part was getting dm4 eyes to fit in the eye carriers.

                            i thought of doing that a while ago when i saw it on PBN, and found the clearance on dm4 frames for $25, but i realized it would add up with the grips, screws, board, membrane, wires, eyes, etc. ...that and i have a hybrid frame, which i already love . looks like it came out nice, good job.

                              would look really sexay with a new ultralite dm4/5 frame...
