I got my virtue board...

[Muddytaco]

After pre-ordering it almost 2 months ago it finally showed up today. Virtue even called to tell me it shipped last week even though they had already sent me an email with tracking number.

Boards comes in a nice tin bin:


Static sealed on the board, eyes are just laying on a piece of foam:


All the hoses were attached all you had to do was slip on the fittings and take your eye wire off the stock board and plug it into the virtue board:


the lazer eyes:


I have had the eyes for a couple weeks now and i have played with them twice and can tell you there is absolutly no problems with them, well except there kind of a tight fit.

I had no problems fitting the board into the frame, everything was spot on. Programing the board is very easy, very smiliar to the infamous tadao board. You simply hold the trigger in and turn it on, tap the trigger to scroll through the leds to the one you want to change, hold the trigger down and it will blink a number of times telling you what the setting is set at, after it stops blinking you simply pull the trigger to the number you want it set at and it blinks back want you just put in, it then scrolls through all the leds really fast and goes back to the menu. After getting all the setting put where i wanted them I aired it up, no leaks. After turning the eyes off i dry fired a few in semi, it seemed a little faster then stock, couldn't really tell without paint. The trigger pull did feel alot better with the 80g switch instead of the bouncy stock 25g. After playing around in semi i switched it over to breakout mode, it was freaking fast. My dad came outside and the first thing he said was "OMG! What the hell did you put in that thing?"

So far i am extremly happy with it. I will make a video of all the modes with paint tomorrow when i have some light.

Congrats on the purchase. I love my Virtue chip in my DM4 and if the eye logic and programing is anything like it you have chosen wisely.

So they finally came out with an Ion board or were they just out of stock? When I was at the Cup last October the Virtue guy told me they were ready to release that board shortly after the Cup was over -

Weren't released until recently

[Drefish99]

It's because SP was holding on to all the solenoids till just recently. They were able to start selling to the 3rd party board companies to put them on their boards. All the board companies like Virtue, TAG etc. had to wait until they sold them since if they were to make their own they would have probably had a lawsuit on their hands.

whoa dragon....they haven't been officially released yet...those that pre-ordered just got them. There's an article in Ion Owners from Virtue explaining to Punisher's why they weren't the first to get them...
