So I heard they are making this for the 05 speed. Does anyone have a clue when it is coming out and what features it will have? I think someone on this forum is currently testing it out.

I know a few names of who is testing them but I do not know when they will be officially released. As far as features I am not supposed to say anything about those.

Lots of info on PB nation also supposedly it will fire off a 25g microswitch.

05-24-2005, 12:06 AM
Andy from warped airsmithing has "featherlite" micro switches for like $5 that only require 25g to fire. Can you just put one of those on the stock board?

Does anyone here know roughly how much they would run when they do come out?

Probably about the same price for the boards that are made for the dm5/4. 65-85 dollars is my guess.

the dm4/5 musashi3 CHIP is 65-80.. but a whole board like the infamous board or dynasty board from tadao is in the 120+... im gonna predict atleast 130... i have the m3 chip for my DM5.. absolutely amazing.. eliminates bounce so easily, so fast.. my only beef is in ramp mode.. the debounce setting is at max.. so when u try to snap shoot with like a 3 shot burst or something like that.. its kinda difficult.. but then again i just leave it in semi capped @15 bps.. burst easily and still maintain a rope of 15 bps with ease..

i heard it has a inteliifeed port on it . is this true ?

Rex43
05-24-2005, 11:01 PM
Duk yes the stock board does fire off an optoswitch, I heard the tadao will fire with a microswitch, and jerseyballer since it hasnt been released I do'nt know I've never shot one of their boards but I've met people who swear by them. i also heard it will have the same features as the m3 board but with extras.

Rex43
05-24-2005, 11:01 PM
and yeah i heard it has intellifeed too.

Rex43
06-26-2005, 11:26 PM
Anyone know if it really will fire off a microswitch or anything else about the new board, also what other angels will it be availible for, and when will it be out.

KEN CRANE
06-27-2005, 12:02 AM
no opto switch it uses a micro switch. it has a intellifeed port. more news on this soon. making you go hmmm.

06-27-2005, 12:22 AM
I knew it....MY GUESS: FORCE G7...Will is letting Sparco test it, but he won't release it cause it's going straight to the MT's. Am I right? It only makes sense for the MT's to sell it in their markers (keep the whole thing friendly).

Ken is now in possession of the '05 Speed prototype board. Will has also been hard at work on other Angel boards with some of the teams at Chicago this weekend. He's making excellent progress with things (to my knowledge) and I'm confident that Will, Ken or myself will release all the specifics the moment they become available. More then likely expect something from Ken!

The board does use an optoswitch, a 9v battery and has all the M5 technology featured on the new boards. Bear in mind that the '05 Speed board is a complete board and not a chip so the price point will more then likely be similiar to that of other complete boards. Will has not discussed even the slightest detail of $$ with me, I've strictly been a field tester on the product.

LED...I believe.

06-28-2005, 10:15 AM
the only real question is how to rationalize the cost of the board vs just updating your current stock board for $25.00?

October Fly
06-28-2005, 11:54 AM
OK...I'm done rationalizing. Give me the board please. LOL.

Sparco
06-28-2005, 12:20 PM
one question lcd or led?

LED. It uses a 7 color LED light that willd be viewable from the rear TPR light stack on the '05 Speed. For those that have owned Tadao boards in other markers the LED colors will be very similiar.

I spoke with Will upon his return from Chicago and he was very excited about how things are progressing. One of the Avalanche players was trying out his G7 board and was extremely pleased with the results.

Expect news on these boards soon, don't know about this week but Ken will be your "press release" guy from here on forward.

Christmas in July and Ken is Santa. I was reading over the Tado board info for my buddies Cyborg, and all I could do was giggle with a smile on my face. If the Angel Tadao board even resembles those specs, we are in for a nice treat. BTW...thank you Sparco for the teasers. Give me a five....TTM5 that is.

07-01-2005, 01:14 AM
if you have not noticed... Sparco's avatar is the Tadao board's led's. and with the amount of spring stack pressure loaders (empire B and halo's) is an intelifeed even nessecary?

October Fly
07-01-2005, 01:19 AM

So if and when the Tadao board is released for the G7, what all needs to be replaced??

Prolly just the board. I believe it's supposed to be a drop in board.

Sparco

~A

Nothing. The board drops in and uses the current eye ribbon, battery plug and solenoid plug. You'll need to use backplate screws to secure the board to the trigger frame, at least that's the case on the prototype G7 board.

Plus Will found that you'll only want to use the rear magnet (small one) and swap up the front one for a blank wheel. Otherwise, the marker was bouncing like a maniac which although cool on uncapped F/A it's not exactly legal.

the picture of the LED's on the 05 board are in his avatar. the board itsself will probably look just like a normal board.

will it be possible to put a G7 board into an 05? not sure if it has already been asked.

Some more info, I snapped those pictures just prior to running out the door.

(1) Will has completed development on the G7, A4 and '05 Speed Tadao boards. He was kind enough to let me test drive his '05 Speed & G7 board(s). Both guns out of the box were extremely fast (as we all know) the G7 with Tadao board made me feel sorry for the other team!

(2) Release date, price and distributors are TBD last I spoke with Will. He is working with the Master Techs on something but I do know what is involved and how it will impact the Tadao boards and their release for the Angel.

The '05 Speed board is a different board all together then the A4 & G7 board, as it runs off a 9v battery supply. The A4 and G7 board will run off the rechargable battery from the marker. Lots of cool features, easy to use and plenty of "fancy" modes that aren't exactly tournament legal.

http://www.jfearing.com/G7/tadaofly.JPG

These are prototype images of the '05 Speed and Fly boards. The final production model of the '05 Speed board will look very similar whereas the Fly board has been redesigned significantly from that image.

As I stated on PBN, feel free to PM/IM me about the board and I can release some information on it. But it won't be much more then what is posted here.

if i installed a rechargable battery in my 05 and made a way to charge it, would i be able to use a G7 board? ofcouse i would also put G7 grips on it, or put a window in the existing ones.

No, the layout design is completly different. The G7 board will not work in the '05 Speed frame (and vice-versa).

will the A4 board fit inside the 04 speed gripframe? also will it be able to use sensi?

shaq787
07-04-2005, 02:45 AM
you will probably have to get the 04 FLYD and maybe they will not put the board in and take that out of the total price so you can pop a Tadao board into it. i highly doubt that they will make a board that will work off of sensi.

Having to go back to a microswitch kinda sux if i were to put one in my 05 but overall it looks and sounds like it will still be awesome.

Sparco
07-04-2005, 12:37 PM
The Tadao board is currently only being designed to support the angel eyes ribbon. So if you have an '04 Speed, IR3 or A4 you'll need to get the MT modification to use the Tadao board.

I've seen an A4 with a COLOR LCD display, infact, here it is on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7176084385&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

How was that done?!?!, and is it possiable on the G7?

Also, if there is no LCD Support, then whats the point of getting a G7, I may be a total noob for asking, but w/o the LCD, wouldn't it be better to just get a 05 Speed and upgrade the board?

I believe that marker is an 04 speed and the board is a Was not a Tadao.So the thing Sparco said stands also you can check out all the work Tadao has done.No LCD never...even in the new Ego board he is planning to realese.
Also don't forget that the G7 is not a Speed with a LCD display the engine is different it cannot compare to the Speed internals.Its up to you which marker serves you better and you want to use the tadao-Mt board. :notsure:
And finally I believe the chick in the board is a picture with two holes so the leds can show. :boobies: :cheers:
