Carbon Fiber Grips Available Now!!!

**cowboy_00** · 03-26-2006, 06:56 AM

I'm just gonna sit here and wait patiently till they tell me that the Emag grips are done..

Then im going to jump for joy when they do, no point in having money sitting where i can't use it.

**RapidTransit** · 03-26-2006, 01:40 PM

I think I ordered 5 pairs, I can't wait for these things.

It hasn't even been that long so people please be patient.

Especially for something like this

**cowboy_00** · 03-26-2006, 07:20 PM

Could you take a picture of the Blue Carbon fibre grips... i just need a clear pic to get some idea of the shade.

**cowboy_00** · 03-26-2006, 10:03 PM

You will have blue emag ones right?

If so i want, but gotta wait a few more weeks.

**deputydan** · 03-26-2006, 10:04 PM

Roger will be making them in whatever color is listed on the website.

**Jotsy** · 03-27-2006, 11:18 PM

i just got an email in my inbox:

"Your Grips will be sent tomorrow"

WOO HOO!! i'll try an post a pic up once i get em

**deputydan** · 03-27-2006, 11:28 PM

Here's a couple pics of some work that Roger did to my goggles. I don't think he'll be offering this as a service any time soon.

**afortuna** · 03-27-2006, 11:38 PM

This was part of my email from Roger...

Your Grips will be sent tomorrow!!!!!

I'm a happy guy. I'll post pics once they get here.

Thanks for putting up with me Roger and Melanie.

Does that carbon fiber on the mask hurt its protective ability? I know CF is strong but overall does it weaken the structure?

Just put it on a stand and shoot it a few times so you dont find out the hard way...(like busting your nose or being blinded.

"Damn he shot me in my good eye"

**deputydan** · 03-28-2006, 08:12 AM

That sucker is as hard as a rock! Before the nose piece had some flex to it, now its hard to bend and move.

**Rudz** · 03-28-2006, 09:57 AM

And our dream becomes a reality...after several dealers..lots of time..emails..pms...ao has its cf grips....in semi mass production....I remember when flossabe..another ao dealer tried this...his thread was soooo long..and in the end we never got grips......now thabks for everyone waiting....see I told you so....lol..hey that cf nose piece might look hot with the new jt frames and bottoms....hmmmmmmmm....to be continued.....

Carbon Fiber weakens and is like glass its strong but it isn't very impact resistant because it dosn't flex and just shatters. Thats why alot of times kevlar is added.

**Mescalito** · 03-28-2006, 11:34 AM

got any kind of ETA on grips for the chimera frames?

**ThePixelGuru** · 03-28-2006, 06:14 PM

Nice grips. If someone made CF EBlade grips, I'd sure as hell buy a pair...

**mobsterboy** · 03-28-2006, 08:00 PM

sell them unholed? Or sell Hyperframe holed and windowed grips?

**cowboy_00** · 03-28-2006, 08:08 PM

Thats what i was thinking about the mask, but the small amount of kevlar added wouldnt give it the structure needed to hold up to a couple of faceshots.

Not knockin it, it looks cool as hell as a collectors item.

but i wouldnt paintball with it on, too much risk.

**deputydan** · 03-28-2006, 08:24 PM

Just so there is no confusion, the mask has been covered with kevlar. The nose piece isn't made completely out of kevlar. So even if the kevlar were to break or whatever, the mask would still be usable.

**Dark Frost17** · 03-28-2006, 09:43 PM

Those i must say are very nice!!!

if only i had the money now.......

soon i will have some on order..... are there only going to be the 4 colors? and do u have a better picture of the light green?

**cowboy_00** · 03-28-2006, 10:34 PM

Ohh so the Carbon fiber just covers the mask like a shell...thats really cool

they should sell those too, (maybe next years surprise)

**deputydan** · 03-28-2006, 11:38 PM

It had to be molded to the mask, so idk how that would work out. It's not removable...well, not supposed to be

edit: missed your post dark frost. There are only 4 colors at the present time, I dont know if Roger will be adding colors. I did have a better pic of my set of green grips, but its on my other computer, which is junked atm until I get a new cpu fan.

I'm not sure if Roger plans to sell hyperframe grips, or blanks. This is the first batch of grips he's done, so he's still kinda figuring things out as he goes.
