So my teammate has two axes, one relatively new black one and one silver that has 14 cases through it. I played a game with the broken in one and it shoots really quiet and smooth. It is almost as smooth as my drone which only has 2 cases through it. Should i trade my drone for an axe and if so should he add because he was offering a straight trade or $300. My two concerns for the drone are the trigger (which i will upgrade), and the psp mode. I kinda want to have two markers so maybe i could trade him a iPod touch, PSP, a5, 48 3000 tank, and bunch of other stuff for an axe?? Which would be better for tournament play? I mostly play semi for young gun tournaments and recball allows ramping at my field.

Get whatever gun you like more, I don't think you should be ramping in recball though, but that's just me. And the psp mode isn't that big of a deal, it isn't gonna make you loose a game...

k thx. Mikes vid was worrying me and giving me buyers remorse.

If you like the ergonomics of the Axe I would say go for it, but its all about what you like.

[get.lit.up!]

That's the thing too, Mac Dev should be replacing those boards not let that issue continue any further

[slinkyaroo]

You got to have a replacement to be replacing with. MacD is at the mercy of the board maker.

[asthmaticrhino]

I don't blame Macdev for putting board modes as an afterthought. Being an Australian company and selling a lot in NZ and Australia, where semi only boards are required, That being said, they should come out with a software update or something.
As for your original question, I like axes except for the ergonomics, everything else about them I love. If you like the ergos and it gets better efficiency, has a better trigger than your drone, and the timeout on the psp mode, I say go for it. mike also make a great video on tuning your axe.

[get.lit.up!]

Oh serious Mac Dev out source s the production of the board? The boards are like $80 a pop it should be flawless or damn close

I still like everything on the drone better except the trigger and psp mode. The trigger problem can be dismissed because I am getting an after market trigger. How big of a deal is the psp mode problem? Is it hat bad considering instead of one trigger pull for a three round burst you only need two trigger pulls for four shots? What do you guys think?

[cybermaniac15]

It's one of mikes personal pet peeves, as I already said, the stupid psp mode isn't gonna make you loose a game. It's not big deal, and shouldn't stop you from buying/using a gun.

yup a magnet, the trigger itself and a tube of crazy glue

[tot810]

i would get the axe because i like getting different stuff if you can get him to add then that's only a plus

[paintballguy2255]

I say stick to the drone.If psp mode is your only problem with it,then that must be a pretty damn good gun.And looks are important to me when I am buying a gun.So,I say go with the drone.No sense in replacing what works.

[BurningPlaydoh]

Also MacDev is going to be offering an upgraded solenoid for the Drone, don't know if it will be a free or paid upgrade though.

It comes with the magnet and crazy glue. When I installed it I had to use hot glue because the crazy glue he gave was shit. Other than that its good

[marceldacs]

srry for bringing this thread back up but new stuff has come up.

I now have two options

1. trade my drone for a black axe with 4 cases through it and not upgrades. It has the optimus board

2. trade my drone+$100 for a silver axe with 14 cases and the shockwave board and cp feed neck.

Will empire give me a free shockwave board if i get the used black axe. WIll they still send it for free even though i am not the original owner?

[marceldacs]

can someone help me out here please?

[cybermaniac15]

Well an axe should add if anything, and I doubt empire will give you a free board.
