Electro-Pneumatic Kit VIDEO!!!!

[p8ntbal4me]

For jay's frames will one have to drill and tap mounting holes for anything? Or is this really 100% drop in.

What you saw in the video, here is what I did to get the parts to work in that frame:
*** Keep in mind the frame was not specifically MADE for my kit,.. so I had to drill at least 1 hole***

The RAM, the solenoid, the 9volt, and the board,... all drop into place. NO MILLING!

I am experimenting still with noids,... Im pretty much settled on my ram. As you can see,.. the ram works pretty well.

The solenoid I used in the frame was longer than most SMC noids. So the little SMC that Big Evil used will fit just fine.

I had to drill 1 hole to hold the trigger switch in place,.. thats it. Jay sent me that frame and I basically knew the kit would drop in place except the trigger switch.

Problem with most players is we all like different types of pull. I like a soft, VERY SLOPPY trigger. I can reach very high ROF with it like this,.. so the one in the video had zero side to side play,.. but was ULTRA touchy and had lots of back travel.

Honestly,.. trigger stops are not the way to go with this kit. You really dont need them.

To keep things simple for you guys,.. I didnt even tap a hole to hold the ram in place. I used the hole for the grip pannel. And to be honest with, using the pannel screw worked in the video,... I dont see why it would not work elsewhere. The ram drops in,.. with less than 1/16th of play side to side. Its a nice fit. I tried something that Pneumagger did for his installs (putting a piece of paper on the side to keep the ram in place) and that made the ram almost impossible to move around without a ton of force.

I would venture to say that it IS 100% drop-in.

The best thing about the Storm Walk is you can hide ALL the parts. I want to actually move the board up into the front end and install the power switch up there to try it out. I will have some more ideas of design once Jay gets his pannels completed.

Ooooooo!

An EP Kit,... a Storm Walk,... and a Karta Body!

We are gonna need some videos and NICE photos of that one!


PS: Theres nothing "Stawk" about an X-Mag! Its an E-Mag on X! Hence,... an X-Mag!

RR,.... do u want a longer video?

I GW some runs with a Mic hooked up to a laptop for my testing.

Since you took the time,.. what do you need to get a much better reading??

I plan to doa good one at Tunaball,.. but maybe I can squeeze in another one later on this week.

Let me know.

Nah , not a biggie. The last vid had a good string. I think it's right in there on that one. Nothing wrong with low to mid twenties at all. Get a good vid with paint and let really see what it's made of.

omg. please tell me that it'll accept eyes...please?

[Kory]

That looks real promising. Do you have a ballpark price?
Nice work.

Yes. The board will accept eyes.

Im not doing eye installs. They are too much beyond my knowledge and time.

From what I have seen and heard, Luke is your best bet.

He has done some very nice work with eyes.

As we get closer to the sale date I will allow custom shops a look at the specs so they can offer services for the kit.

Right now Im trying to keep cost down,.... parts tend to be expensive!


Video of shooting paint looks to be on task for this weekend (29th).

Keep an eye on this page!

Sorry,.. not at the moment.

Im more worried about what you guys will care about as far as performance.

Tunaball will set the pace for me. I have to talk to Jay some more about these frames!
They work REALLY sweet with the kit install. Tomorrow I have to get the screws for the frame to rig up my EP Kit with the reg all internal.

I dont know if I will have time to do the video,..... but I can at last try it out and let you know what/how it works in an all internal setup.

P8nt, replied to your PM.

[Mongoose]

Great this means im gonna get lit up by this thing @ tunaball!!!!!
cant wait to see it rip in person

[Bigman]

Where's the paint? No offense I just want to see with a loader and paint on it... And maybe alittle cleaned up. I recommend not doing what DMag did and wait till its ready for production to take pre-orders not getting ready...

I've got a good feeling this guy is doing it right

I dont get it, ive read this thread like 3 times..

This is a Kit? As in the electronics come as a kit, and you drop it into jay's frame?

If so where do you get the kit? Are you manufacturing them? Im confused

At Tunaball, Scott (BigEvil) and Jay (Jay8541) will be running the kits to test the boards in game format. If you like what you see, talk to Jay about these frames!!!! I start in on my completely internal kit and I will post video as soon as they are done.

He's making them....
