give a college kid the option to inker with a toy or do his homework and more often then not college will be neglected for another day....well i speak for my self at least

so today i got board and removed my body of the gun and drilled many holes. im very happy with the new look, so happy ill share some images with you guys. i drilled all small pilot holes to help prevent the larger bit from walking around on the flat low friction surface. without any further delay.

thats pretty awesome, did you weigh it before/after?

That would be amazing with LED's glowing out of the holes.

watch out for getting shot in the frame and getting paint on your board.

If the holes end up causing discomfort you could easily chamfer the holes to take care of it.

thing looks pretty cool and i have to admit it's very original... have to agree with idio as well though. You're leaving your board very vulnerable to the outside elements (paint, dirt, moisture, debris, etc.)

Just rap your grip with plastic wrap and wear gloves. And dont get shot

Thats sweet, i think i would had screw up some how doing that

97ltwm3 · 10-04-2008, 06:06 AM

oo i screwed up...my little gray semi maluable(sp?) piece that is contacted by the power on button is missing....im so pissed. i still have the tiny metal cage that prevents that pieced from falling out...perhaps smart parts can send this piece to me ill email them later(its a black heart board so not sure if that makes a difference) i can turn the gun on without but the idea is this piece is somewhere below my feet and i cant find it. i saw it drop out. i ended up drilling out the groves in the side of the frame so that the board can drop down further. i also had to machine out more material for the qev and other valves to rest lower than intended. the upper body now sits all the way down on the frame unlike the 1/8-3/16" gap that was there prior to about 10:30 last night. im very pleased with the spacing...with 2 minor exceptions the spacing is very centered on both axises.
as for worrying about being shot. i dont get shot this gun is the one my friends and i use to create public disturbances, drive by's and related antics. wish i had time to play. instead my friends and i are left shoting at people that dont shot back.

j/king
i took a nasty shot 2 weekends ago on the index finger knuckle...my bro can vouch for how nasty it was. in vision a red grape sitting on top of my knuckle...or....like mclain's check. im bad.

yea since that's the secondary use Saran wrap advertise their product for

Joking aside, doing that would be extremely impractical anyways

crisis update:

crisis has been suspended due to the efforts of spug. he has contacted me via pm, normally i dont share that type of stuff but this is an exception, and asked for my address he would try and send one out. after he got my response he even made the effort to ship it out today and missed the window marginally. this type of response from the community is what keeps forums strong. i had began to lose interest in here because of the actions of others, which didnt surprise me because the younger, less respectful, demographic that makes up this community.
again thanks spug

spug · 10-04-2008, 02:01 PM

No problem, it's what I do

Idiosyncrisia · 10-04-2008, 02:49 PM

A few of us send each other parts once in a while =P We're pretty strong here.

evilpaintball311 · 10-04-2008, 02:54 PM

hey i got an idea to fill up the wholes with out taking up weight, im surprised no one has sugested it but take and put in a silicone gel. Let that dry and then cut the frame out.
