Xtreem release date?

[headcase]

I've looked through the forums and I can't find an answer. So is there any kind of solid info on the release of this marker? I know early next next but when? I mean Europe already has it, Shocktech is selling the SFL, so when is the general release here? If Europe had online sales/shipping to the US I would have already ordered one. I haven't seen any info about the SFL's having warp breaches so thats out of the picture. I've heard they are waiting for the eye to be finished, but I don't need no stinking eye.

Anyone? Some Help here......
Thanx

Ok I'm going to send this up again see what happens....Also any idea about MSPR I figure it's got to be less than the 1450 BBT wants right? I would just buy one there except no warp module.

thanx

I'm going to up this one last time, and then let it die if I don't get an answer.

We have held off shipping any Xtremes for the last few weeks, as we are making some mods to the Xtreme bodies & modules, for the ACE.
The ACE is going really well, and we are just fine tuning now, and working on different versions of the ACE software for use with 2 color paintballs.
I know you say that you don't need it, probably because you don't want to go with the center feed, but believe me, it even makes a massive difference to the Warp.
We should have things finalised very soon, and are trying very hard for before Xmas. Then we will start shipping again. Once we are happy, they will be released in the U.S. as well.
The Xtreme pricing for the U.S. is still being decided, but to give you some idea, the suggested retail for the complete marker should around $1,375 including the ACE.
The upgrade package, which includes the body, 1 module and the ACE should be around $378.
These are purely estimates at the moment, but it should give you some idea.
I know this is frustrating because it's been a while, but we have only released them in limited quantities over here in England, mainly for beta testing, because we don't want to do the full release until we have implemented all the new features.

It's nice to see a thread come to a final conclusion by one of the people in control og AGD production. That is why I love this place!

Is there any idea on what the Upgrade kit, one module, and *no* ACE would be? I'm looking into it for my RTPro and don't need/can't use the ACE.

An interesting point

You made an interesting point. Someone told me that ACE won't be available on the upgrade package cause if you were to throw it on your mag, how would the ACE be integrated with a mechanical trigger? Interesting to think about though....also, a question...on the AGD Europe site, there are pictures of the Upgrade body, and it had the little protrusion in the front of the body like the huge battery that an Emag has sitting under it...where does this leave mag owners looking to upgrade? Is there going to be a little hole there for us to attach our foregrips to? In other words, the upgrade body looks like it is made to fit a huge battery in front...but what about the foregrip? Plus, if this fits standard mags, ya know what I am thinking?

Z-Grip+X-treme upgrade+angled out foregrip=mega mega cool!

So would this be possible? Cause if it is, its what I'm gonna do!

The Xtreme modular body was designed first and foremost with the E-Mag in mind. So we are working on installing the ACE inside the body, so that std E-Mag owners who want to upgrade to Xtreme, can do so, including upgrading to the ACE.
Because the RT Pro & Automag have the same dimensions as the E-Mag, this means that you can also fit it to these markers, but the initial design concept was based around an E-Mag with a battery on the front.
If there was enough demand, then we could possibly modify the bodies to accept front grips instead of the E-Mag battery.

[Dave]

Ok, this helps a lot...so basically, it is designed for the Emag, which already has a battery in front, but you can still attach it to your mag, it just might look a little funky cause there is still that huge chunk of aluminum on the X-treme body that just sticks out. well, what would be really cool is to, instead of totally milling of the front or something, take it and mill it with some arrow design or bullet design in front or something..I have no idea how this would look, but it would be kinda neat to see that. I would like to see a neato design milled out of that front block...bullet shape, curves, arrow, something to make it more 'in-place' then add a little hole in the front for a foregrip...but then I don't know if you could use a z-grip with it, cause you have to have an extender to have a forgrip, and I don't know if some cool milling design could accept the Kapp-style foregrip extender. But what do you people think? Even if I couldn't have a foregrip on it, it would look sooooooooooo cool! I will try to edit a picture to show you what I mean.

Easier way...

Just make an adaptor piece that goes where the battery would go (and uses the same attachments), but which will let users put on their preferred ASA or foregrip or extender. Then if they decide in the future to electrotransmogrimorph the gun into an E-Mag, they still have that standard E-Mag battery attachment point.

[Dave]

yep, that is true, it would help, although AGD would have to design it and make it. Rats, Photoshop won't let me save altered images as .jpgs, only .psd, which is useless-sorry, I can't show you my concept.

[CRASHKING]
