Blackheart and Was board became very Rare....
I don't know why tadao or virtue don't made a limited run of a board for impulse...

Tadao made board for autococker or AKA but not for impulse, it's too bad...
The Shocker use the same electronic system than impulse,no?

Impy have a great succes in the past and still hot now, I think a lot of owners buy this new board..

What do you think about this ?

I'm not sure Tadao or virtue would have the financial incentive to produce boards specifically for the impulse. I mean, I know they're bulletproof and they're great guns, but for the cost of a new board I don't think an impulse owner gains much.

I'd say the best option for impulse shooters who want a better board is to mod a frame from another gun (also potentially expensive). I have toyed with the idea of putting a valhalla frame with an ego board on one of my impulses but I think I would end up butchering the frame because the impulse frame screws do not line up like most other guns. Valhalla frames do not have a lot of meat on them so if I bugger it up its pretty much done.

there is (was) an Impulse on ebay right now that has a Tadao board installed in it. Not exactly sure how he did it, but it is defintley possible and I have seen it before. You could also install the T-board. Their is a guide on how to do this in the I-O Library.

Unfortunately I doubt any company will invest anything into the Impulse because of how old it is. Would be awesome if some small third-party company made one though!

He's got a DM frame with eyes which I think shows off the impulse's capabilities better than any stock frame ever could. Impulses have terrible trigger geometry, imo.

When I still had an ego 6 frame for kicks I wired it up to an impulse solenoid and it worked just fine (I didn't have air to cycle through it but it clicked) so I know its doable, I'm just having a hard time justifying spending the money on a gun that isn't my primary marker.

I know this video with DM frame it's a good idea..

I have wired an eblade frame with E2 board and the solenoid worked well,but like drewkroeker no air to cycle this one.. But the modd looks very cool..   the line up frame screws ask machining work..

Shocker board is possible and I think the modd is the more simple ,but it's a lot of soldering and I'm not sure of the reliability..

Please Mr tadao just a board..... :
