Autococker Raceframe

[Blackmagic71]

Somebody around here probably needs/wants this and it doesn’t appear to be bonkers “Curated” prices.

Only because that guy hasn't seen it yet, he will be making an offer very soon.

Why do people like the race frames? I can understand the rest of the race cockers, they look good and what not but the frames always seemed to be the oddball.

How do you program those?
Can you do it from the frame or you need the serial interface with the 20yo software?

With the cable and 20 year old software that works just fine on W10..
Give me that over trying to memorize trigger pulls and blinky lights..

... and sold!

I may not need it in the end, if I don't end up using it, I'll sell it for what I paid to the fine members here.

Oddball how so?

Self contained battery, different voltage so you can only run a race noids. The programming port. I'm not sure about direct programming of the board, if that's a thing or not or if it's different at all

The rechargeable is nice because I can just charge it and be good for 20k+ shots. They werent the only manufacturer to use a rechargeable either. Angel stick batteries come to mind. Back in 2000, there was no standardized electro. While 9v is the norm now, back then everyone was trying to make their mark and offering something different.
The only noid that is different is the sear noid. EBlades use 6v 3way noids and Race uses 5v. The plug is different but one could splice the wires and the eblade noid will function on a race frame.
It can’t be programed directly. Back in the day that was tournament rules. You had to either tourny lock out the board or somehow prevent players from changing the settings during a tourny. Make it not able to program directly solved that issue. But really, how often are you changing settings during a game?

No they weren't the only ones to use a rechargeable but they were, if my memory is correct, the only ones to do it on a cocker platform. It's like they tried to reinvent the cocker and at that point it was basically already set in stone.

What? You just started by saying the sear is the only different one and then listed that the cocking noid is both a different voltage and plug..... That's different. The only other thing that really matters is how it mounts. 5v to 6v is a 17% over volt.

If you believe you shouldn't run a board designed around lipo 7.4v on 9v then why is it ok for the noid? 7.4v to 9v is an 18% over volt for reference

Can you program it in the staging area without a laptop? That's what I'm asking. I'm not trying to change settings on the field. You can't do that on a e1/2 either. You need to open up the grip panels to get to the programming button. Basically I'm curious if you can still program these at all since it uses a pretty outdated port


You could make the best marker in the world but make it in 62 caliber and it's not going to sell. My point is that these are oddballs. If it works for you great, I own a vanguard creed, it's an oddball for sure. 3 different o ring styles, 3.7v lipo, a board that doesn't actually turn off ever, common tire Schrader valve in the LPR. but I absolutely love how it shoots and some of the ideas vanguard had when they built it that's why I keep it.

The tire Schrader means I can always get LPR seats. The main poppet uses an o ring as it's sealing surface so I can always replace that. The board is absolutely fantastic, easy to use and the LCD is bright enough to be seen in sunlight.
