strange vision impulse all newdesignz internals HSW Iframe freak barrel
Strengths:
Costs less than smart parts vision board , programable better eye system
Weaknesses:
not quite A drop in installation., requires fileing eye hole
Review:
Filing the eye hole was not A big deal., just be careful not to scratch the inside of the breach. all programing is done through simple pulls of the trigger.
( OMG ) this thing rocks., Fast like you can not believe. The better voltage to the solenoid cures most, if not all ( FSDO ) problems I am not even going to guess how many BPS. I can shot., But I can tell you this thing is incredibly fast. They now call me Overkill. Maybe its too fast ? I can say I have not chopped A single ball in 3cases of paint . I did occasionally chop with the smart parts vision eye system.
Conclusion:
For lass money you get A much better board and eye system and A life time warrenty cant go wrong., get it now!!! I give it A 9++ only because you have to file the eye hole performance is A BIG 10!!!

eye cover not the best
Review:
After installing this impulse board with a little bit of trouble it was working well. Coming from a stock non vision board this makes this a more valuable upgrade. It is cheaper and better then a regular vision board. THere are settings such as different eye modes debounce BIP delay, the eye is also better then the regular vision.
Conclusion:
Great upgrade for those looking to make there vision Impulse better, for those with a non-vision imp this will make or Impulse WAyyyyyyyy faster then before

Review:
This is the one upgrade that will bring your Imp to the next level. I have shot all kinds of high end guns, and my W.A.S.'d impulse shoots just as fast. This board can be found for less than the SP Vision eye system, and is better in every way.
Installation is kind of a pain since you have to file down the old eye hole (on a non-vision read impulse, you will have to drill a new hole), but this is a piece of cake if you follow the directions.
There are plenty of settings such as debounce, ball-in-place delay, ROF, and eye sensitivity to make your Imp shoot exactly how you want it to.
I have never chopped with this board, and I've gone through at least 6 cases of paint ranging from 2 month old Scorch to fresh Infernos. I've tried sticking things in the breach such as the bolt, screws, my finger, pencils, crayons, and colored plastic spoon handles, and none of them caused the gun to cycle. I can't say that about other eye systems I've tried.
My only real complaint is that the eye cover looks stupid. Its way thicker than it needs to be. But no big deal, my friend is making me a new one in shop class with our team name on it.
If you want your Imp to shoot like a DM4 or a Timmy, get some internals, get a barrel, and GET THIS BOARD!
Conclusion:
It costs the same, or less than, a vision board, and is better in every important way. I would recommend this board to anyone that doesn't have eyes yet, and to someone with eyes that wants to take their Imp to the top of the competition.

Review:
When I first got my Equalizer Board, I was so excited to rip open the package and put the board in my Rat Jr. When I opened my box, I found that it came in this weird black round tube. It had the board, eye shims, screws, and a piece of paper that they didn't have enough manuals for everyone, and that they should use the site for the manual, which I did.
Installation was fairly simple. It required you to take off the Grip Frame and remove the old board and put in the new board. Not that hard. The only hard part was that you have to file down the eye hole for the Equalizer's eye, since it is located lower down then a Vision board's eye. It also requires you to use a sharpie and "color in" the part that was sanded down, again, not that hard. Total amount of time it took me to install the board and file down the eye hole was about one hour.
After I installed it, I put my 70/4500 Crossfire tank and my Empire B with a pod of paint and went outside to shoot it. First thing I noticed is how it lights up a different color. A orange for four seconds and then green once every second, meaning that it was in eye mode one. When I first started shooting, all I could say was "wow". It was so fast, I was surprised. It was much faster then my stock board. I just ripped at like a constant 14bps. The settings were on the stock one's, so the debounce was at 10ms. I had no bounce at all, which I liked very much. When I was getting low on paint, i noticed that the gun was slowing down as well. The gun would not shoot if there wasn't a paintball in the breech, another thing I loved. I also had no chops.
When I went back inside, I decided to mess with the settings. I raised my Rate of Fire a little, I set my debounce to two, and I put it in Simulate Mode. Then I started to rake the trigger, oh my god, it was so fast. I never thought of it to shoot so fast, but it did. I was amazed.
Conclusion:
The Equalizer Board by Wicked Air Sports for the Impulse is a GREAT board, best I have ever seen, and a must for anyone who want's speed, great eye, and used friendly board. I recommend to all.

Review:
When I first got the eq board I was really excited. I opened it up and began to install it. It was a little bit difficult to install but well worth it. I put some air into the gun and went in my backyard to shoot the gun.
When I first shot the gun I was in awe......it was exceptionally fast with absolutly no breaks. Then for the altimate test, I went back into the house and grabbed a bag of some old paint.
I put this in the hopper and the gun still performed really well. I went back inside and read the manual and found out that programming the board was very very simple after you memorized the color sequence and what each one did.
Over all, this board was well worth the money IMO.....
Conclusion:
I recomend anyone that has the 150 to spend on it, buy it. It is the best upgrade that Icould have possibly put on my impulse.....I give it a 10 because if performs flawlessly...

Weaknesses:
Had to have the manual in front of me at first when I programed board.
Review:
FAST FAST FAST-controls everything you need to control. Has settings for eye sensitivity, debounce, ball in place, everything cusotmized to your marker setup. If you don;t have a reflective bolt-no problem-you still get speed. If you have one great-it's even faster. Have a fast hopper-decrease the ball in place speed. Excellent upgrade.
I have used the stock cricket board and it doesnt even compare to the EQ board!
Marker Setup:
2k3 Impulse, A+ ultra low rise, eclipse magno blade trigger, NDZ Equalizer bolt, WAS Equalizer board
Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Site gets backed up
Review:
This replacement board is the best thing that i have purchesed for my impulse! It has made my gun alot faster. I now dont chop paint AT ALL. The eye mode can be adjusted for diffrent situations (dark paint sunlight etc...). Board came to my house in 3 days! The debounce settings are fun to play around with to show yer friends how fast yer gun can be. Can be a pain to install filing down the burr was hard for me because of lack of equipment. All around awsome product!!!
Conclusion:
I would say if u have the money buy the equalizer!! It is by far one of the best upgrades for your impulse!!

The W.A.S board is a must have for the impulse. It has a very fast shot rate, plus no FSDO, which is a big plus. Theres alot of different settings to mess with. The eye works really well on it. I haven't busted a ball yet. I say its the best upgrade you could buy for a impulse.

Review:
The first time I use my impulse it was fast, but after I put the W.A.S. Equalizer board in it was OH MY GOD FAST. You do not get the chop that you get from the stock boards, or the FSDO. So now you do not have to do the funny little dance of turning your marker over and shooting before the game starts.
Take the time to re-Learn your maker as now you can change alot of the setting, and Place it different modes.
I got to say for the money this is the best thing you can do to a Smart Parts Impulse. It puts the Impule over the top.
Conclusion:
If you do not have this board, you got to get it. After you use it one time you will know that you did not know what you where missing.
Stock impulse body with every upgrade you can think of except for millings... and now with the W.A.S equalizer
Strengths:
Very customizable and faster ROF with other options
Weaknesses:
the Eye cover
Review:
This board is amazing. I looked at their website over and over and i finally got to order this board. when i got it i put it on and it shoots great! noticable increase in ROF and FSDO. the only thing that sucked about the board is that it voids warranty but it doesnt matter much to me, and the other thing is the eye cover didnt fit, so instead i hid my marker with the old Vision eye cover it fits just right , just gotta do some shaving off the Vision cover behind the it. if peeps was to look at my marker they'l think its still a vision board.. :-) a plus and a minus sometimes. over all GREAT board
Conclusion:
Get it if you have the chance to. If not dont get it so we can use it on you. :-) jk. great board. get it if you have the chance. the KM2 genisis is great, but this one is better, maybe because its easier to go to tournaments with. besides i dont like the idea of having auto, cause sometimes when u play at rec ball places they think you only won because its an AUTO... its not the gun.. its the player behind the marker... gun comes in later after the player gets better. :-)
