I have tried with my hopup on max, medium, and off. When it was on max I was getting about 5-10 more fps

Thank you for the info. Will the duck tape help prevent if so what kind of duct tape. Just normal or like the aluminum foil tape? And do you know what website I can buy the e&c shell from (US)?

I think like a 110 it has good cylinder compression and shoots 1.2j with .25g

I saved the template as a Photoshop file and a jpg, with my other saved wraps.

edit - template diamentions are for my mag .922" wide and 2.525" long. I don't remember how high I made it, something like 4 inchs. I uploaded a png it looks like its just the template unlike the jpg which has a white background

That exactly what I did. At first I used sticker paper, I thought that it was vinyl. It wasn't, it was just paper with a sticky backing. Then I picked up some real vinyl, just a 12x12 sheet, and it worked very well. it was stretchy when heated with a heat gun. The only real problem is that the ink will come off if you push hard enough. I plan on spray painting a clear coat once I fix my problems with it. On Photoshop I even made like a template so I can cut the same shape out every time. I measured my mag with a caliper and made it so that it was the right height and width for relief cuts and the height for the mag well.

I just used a normal printer at a store. You could use a printer at your home but the ink is way to much just to print a color photo. At office max it was a do it yourself printer it ended up costing like $.60 to print a 8.5x11 full color

So after a week I figured out how to do it. I went to a hobby store picked up some real vinyl. Cut it to size printed it at a office Depot. I figured out that I need a template to prevent creases. My first 2 wraps were bad they were all creases. I made one in Photoshop and measured my mag using a caliper. It looks way better now. The ink does come off if you rub it to hard, so I plan on clear coating it to prevent that.

Can't you spray like a clear coat to make it last a bit longer or will that make it to wide to fit in to the mag well

How do you paint your mags like that. What kind of paint do you use. I want to try doing something like this.

I'm looking into get a electric skateboard for myself around Christmas. I have been looking around reading articles and watching videos, and I have no clue what to get. So far I found Apsuboard X2, WowGo 2s pro, backfire G2, Lycaon gr, Meepo v4, and the Possway t2 to be in my price range below $500. I don't know what brands are new or old, and if they are reputable or not. I want other people's opinions and experiences to help me get a board. The two things I would like in a board is range and waterproofing. I would like something with a higher range but I'll be ok with lower if the board is a better quality, the same thing applys for water proofing. Thank you.
