AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
So the valkyrie just needs the board installed and eye covers to function? Would stock vik eye covers fit, or would they need to be custom made? Pm me
I may have to put my pnuemag up for sale for this thing, since you don't take trades
Anyone intrested in a custom phoenix body pnuemag sleeper with blue valve and blue parts?
In order for the Valkyrie to function, the following things need to be done:
Shorten bolt and redrill for bolt pin
Build and install the wiring harness
Build Eye covers
Build spring spacer for valve spring
Ano
Final assembly
Program board
Most all of this I can do for you if you like, though I do not savor the thought of building a wiring harness. God I hate building wiring harnesses.
The rest however is not a big deal and I would be happy to do it for you.
The eye covers will not be the same as a Viking, because of the different profile of the side of the body. Remember that Vikings and Excals have three tubes, and this only has two.
That Valkyrie is a great looking marker. I would have liked to see it on the market. Aside from that I'll pick up an EvilM body in a few weeks
Yeah, me too, but there just ain't much of a market for an $1800 marker anymore, especially one that doesn't sing and dance and give you a BJ when you change the battery.
It would have been a kick *** marker four or five years ago, but now the big names have pushed the market into the sub-1LB 40BPS+ end of the pool, where it gets to be very expensive to swim.
Plus, given my track record with big projects, even if it were state of the art when it was designed, it wouldn't have hit the market until it was three years obsolete.

I know we don't have the longest record of nicest things things said between us but, I do understand and would like to see something similar. That being said, what's the chance of having an EvilM body milled into something that looked like the Valkyrie? I realize the ASA mounting will be a bit different.

Last time I ran the numbers to do that all over again (program, prove, and machine a single body), you're looking at ~$750.
There's just so damned much time tied up in the programming and proving to then only make a single part, that the per piece cost gets to be ridiculous.
Normally you'd spread that cost out over 50-100 parts, which greatly reduces it's impact on the final price per part.
