I've heard that the sock non-vision board is capped at 13. I've also heard that it is capped at 20. Which of these is true?

Also, what are some cheap boards that are uncapped? I have no need for vision because I'll pick up a blind bolt.

Help me out. I'm a nub.

All imp boards are the same just different programming.

People will argue about wether the stocks are capped at 13 or 20. As far as Im concerned its 20.

If you buy a Cricket Boarded Imp from Mid 2k3 < without a white sticker on the board you can get ECS cheaply programmed onto it or do it yourself. ECS is WAS, you program the board yourself. ECS has all the same features as WAS escept you can do it yourself on teh comp, you just need the cable. You can make the cable, theres LONG threads on PBN about it. Just do that.

WAS is expensive, I suggest finding a not to old Imp WITHOUT a white sticker on the board, then getting ECS. If it has a white sticker you cant get ECS.

umm, yea the non vision cricket board is capped at 13 bps, according to the impulse manual.

The cheapest uncapped board im aware of is the equalizer, unless ur cricket board is ecs capable.

To see if its capable take the board out of the grip frame and look for a small white sticker, if ithere isnt then its programmable i believe. I maybe wrong though. Theres a big section on ecs programming in the impulse section. Take a look

**ZeRO eFFeCT** · June 20th, 08:49 PM

^^^^WAS is capped at like 35.

ECS is capable WITHOUT the sticker,

WAS is expensiver.

Non vision is 20.

**paintballer05** · June 20th, 09:51 PM

expensiver.

do you guys know exact prices on these boards.

**ZeRO eFFeCT** · June 20th, 10:02 PM

ECS is free if your board doesnt have a white sticker on it. You program or get it programmed onto it.

WAS is like 127 or somehting like that....but no places can sell WAS ecept WAS themselves because they dont liek the way people handle/ ship etc the boards at other stores.

Non-Vision Cricket Board - 13.7bps. Cap

Vision Cricket Board - 20bps. Cap

WAS EQ Board - Not sure, but it's basically uncapped because it's atleast 27, or so.

ECS Program - I think it's 25bps.

The deal with the Non-Vision Cap is unkown. Mine is capped at 13.7 because when I'm walking sometimes, I can hear the high-pitched chirp which means you are shooting faster than the board's cap.

Some time ago, SP took a handful of Non-Vision Cricket Boards, and gave them a cap of 20bps. But they stopped this, and changed the cap back down to 13.7bps. because they were getting complaints of chopping with the boards.

I bought my Imp brand new in January of this year, so I'm going to say that the board's are still capped at 13.7bps.

WAS EQ Board costs $150, atleast that's what E-PBO was selling them at.

ECS Program is free. You just need the cable. Either make your own, or buy one from somebody off of PBN, some guys over there are making them. I think they cost $25, or something like that.

Newer Impulses are not ECS capable. You can either check for the white sticker (that I didn't find on mine), or check for a small group of brass (I think) prongs somewhere on the board. That's where the cable is plugged into. If you don't have them, sorry, you can't get ECS for your board.

SP stopped producing boards with these prongs for the cable because they were not making any kind of profit off of the ECS Program.

Also, don't forget about the Genisis (sp?) Board. I'm not sure of the cap though.

And they are coming out with an Impulse Loki Board which is supposed to rock.

I think I'm missing one, or two more.

**luisodude** · June 21st, 12:05 AM

but the genesis board is like suuuuuuper expensive isnt it?

***Barber*** · June 21st, 12:06 AM

It's pretty pricey. Not sure on the Exact price. Genisis is all modes, not sure about ROF on it.

**tippmannpimper** · June 21st, 11:20 AM

Loki is the same thing as chaos board, it will probably be a direct port of the bushmaster board but a bit different

the loki/chaos/entropy are supposed to be identecal, just a new name to tell them apart from gun to gun, which would help in shipping

**TrueLife** · June 21st, 11:34 AM

barber...just so you know the blind bolt isnt all its cracked up to be from what i've heard, some guy on pbn did a test and out of like a cae or something only got 2 less chops that with his ndz bolt, just so you know

themainevent · June 21st, 11:43 AM

i wonder how the JAM bolt would do when its released for impulses, unless it already is

I'm going to say this guy has got his info down.

themainevent · June 21st, 11:39 PM

what i learned from the site is

ECS acceptable= board capped at 13.7 or whatever (non vision)
NOT ECS acceptable=board capped at 20 bps (non vision)

***Barber*** · June 22nd, 11:20 AM

So either way I have 20 bps cap right? That is cool.

***xPiZZeRx*** · June 22nd, 12:10 PM

The funny thing is that my board has the white sticker, but is capped at 13.7bps....I'm just going to email SP later.

***Barber*** · June 22nd, 12:17 PM

You need an ECS cable for that to work.

***xPiZZeRx*** · June 22nd, 12:34 PM

· Smart Parts Impulse Cricket II board (non-Vision): The latest version of the non-Vision Cricket board. Stock on all Impulses as of sometime in late 2001. Boards without the white sticker on the microprocessor will only shoot 13.7-bps, however board with the sticket will shoot 20-bps. These faster boards were released in March 2003.

And even with the ECS Cable, I couldn't reprogram my board because there is nowhere to plug the cable into.
