Review:
The Race Frame is one of the best upgrades anybody who shoots a cocker can buy. It womps the pants off any eblade or e2 or one of their spin-offs and is actually really simple to use. A lot of people might get intimidated by the software but if you check out the racegun forums their is an entire thread that will help you set up the settings for your marker (and the people on there are really nice and helpful). Overall worth every dollar.
Conclusion:
I would definitely recommend this to anybody with a mechanical cocker or a cocker with an eclipse frame. Just make sure to get the ACE.

Review:
I bought a used race frame online for 200 hundred so the price has come down a lot and has no equal in it's price range right now.
Installation
the frame went on as quickly as any other electronic frame with a front mounted solinoid. The only difference is you have to have the LPR nipple facing down.
Softwear installation
this program installs very quickly and with out any difficulties, if you have any problems with the softwear you can go to racegun.dk or free flow's web site to get updates or mannuels
Programing
The Race frame as the most comprehensive softwear I have ever seen in paintball, you have direct control of your marker and what it will do, millisecond for millisecond. I have my cocker set to do 14.7bps on classic mode and ever E2 useer I meet believes my gun is set to 20, the frame is only limited in speed by your understanding of the program and your ram. The frame is so well built I have seen in forums people putting them on there angels and intimidators. and you don't have to buy anything new you just have to adjust the dwell,shot, and load to the specifications of the other platform. This program is is the real bread winner in this package. I am rarely impressed by softwear in paintball(by that I mean the virtue and other cheating boards) but this one has me still messing with the settings like it was brand new six months later.
First day of play
it felt exactly like an excalibur with out the efficency
Second day
I was still impressed so much I couldn't help but show it off with 75% ramp on the chrono, after I was done showing off it went back to classic.
third day
still impressed
fourth day
battery died in the middle of the second game, whch is nice since it was never charged after the first day of play.
comparied to the the E-series of frames
it out preforms it soo much that I can say is shot the two in back to back games at the same settings, Race will make a believer out of you
The only thing could be the price, but its gone down.
Review:
Ive used a RACE frame on my cocker for almost 2 years now and i cant imagine shooting anything else. these frames rip, that's all there is to say about it. Customization is another key factor in these guns. unlike an eblade, you time the gun according to your specific marker, down to how long the ram stays open and how fast the balls fall into the chamber. there is no limit to how customizable you can get with these frames.
Conclusion:
I will never own an autococker that doesn't have one of these on it. it is by far the best electro conversion kit for the autococker.

Review:
I bought my gun off of ebay for cheap. the gut was selling it (i found out aftre i got it) because it was broken and he was too much of a lazy ass to get it fixed. One week and $40 later, i was at my local arena spraying the ever living s@#t out of everyone there. It was increadible! At first i had to work with the numatics, but after that i was trouble free.
If you get a rece-cocker i have a few needed upgrades.
1.) a danm fast hopper.(halo or reloader)
2.)eyes. if you dont get an eye, you will pop more balls than if you dropped a case of paint off of a building
3.)a new barrel. a fast gun doesn't mean anyhingh if you cant hit the unfortunate slob you are aiming for.
4.)a nice reg. black magic, gen-ex, or hyper inline 2.
5.)whatever else you want. this frame deserves the best!
Conclusion:
If you dont own an e-cocker, get a racegun. 'Nuff said.
Very simple opperation and Raceguns has great customer support. Fastest thing out there
Weaknesses:
Not really any problems with the grip. See below.
Review:
This grip rips it does cost a lot but definitley worth the price. I had a small problem with the R.I.P software on my computer but I e-mailed Race and got it fixed. No one can keep up with this grip plus it makes newbies pee their pants then they love you when you let them shoot it.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this grip to anyone and if they don't believe me just play a game with me and they'll be believers. I'll give it a 9 because of the price.
I have used This frame for just over a year. I bought it locally and paid a bit more but it was suppose to be installed because of the higher price. This is one the best if not the best anti chop eye on the market. It is a send and recieve eye. I think the trigger frame itself is the best out there. I have used a E Blade and not to knock it a bit it is also a fine piece of work but Race and ACE rules the roost. The problems I had getting my from installed was all local ones. Once I send the gun to ANS they told me all the things the local store owner did wrong and they fixxed it all and installed the ACE. The software rocks teh ACE is great and Race frame I would not trade for a E blade and a WOR Blade. While they are changing batteries I'll be painting them. Battery life is awesome on this thing. I let mine sit all winter and check it before a team practice and it still had a 5.3 out of a 5.9 possible charge. All my team mates chnge batteries after every tourney.
Conclusion:
ANS ROCKS !!! They have taken a good product and made it GREAT. Spend the extra money and get what you paid for. HAve ANS install the ACE too they are great to deal with.
This an extremely awesome trigger frame. If you are thinking about the eblade, forget it, this is the best trigger frame out there. This also has 6 firing modes, compared to the Eblade's 2 modes. You can make the trigger pull much shorter. You can download new firmware and software for this frame, and make it better and better. You can edit youre settings VERY easily on the computer, and it figures out your bps for you automatically.
This is an AWESOME frame. You should DEFINITELY buy it over any other Eframe out there.

Weaknesses:

Review:
I got the 9v version so I cant use the lateist firmware, but if I could I would be able to adjust the load time from the grip. Thats the only thing that would need to be changed on the field; the shot, dwell, open, and close all need to be adjusted once and doesnt need to be changed, the load is the only thing that would need to be changed if you change your loader. Its fast and feels alot better than the eblade. The shots off a battery/charge is alot more than the eblade. The break beam eyes are superior to the reflective eyes of the eblade and never chop.
Conclusion:
get this, its worth the extra money, and feels alot better than the eblade, if you want high ROF from a cocker, the race is for you
I've used Eblade, Uprising, firestorm, etc etc etc which are ALL jokes compared to the Raceframe(and it's very close cousin the ANS eframe)
Marker Setup:
02 red Body, Raceframe, ANS Breakbeam ACE, Freeflow Internals, Freeflow E-frontblock, JT 2 piece Avalance Series STainless Barrel, Freeflow Nylatron bolt, freeflow ram with QEV's, Kapp Rhino reg, 47-3000 nitro tank
Strengths:
Very very fast, and reliable
Weaknesses:
No weaknesses except that racegun went outa business
Review:
Fast as hell...definate shame that racegun went outa business. But the race does still live on in the ANS eframe. Also compatible with the ANS Breakbeam ACE from the ANS eframe. Once it's set at a high ROF then there are NO problems except the ocasional barrel break.
GO BUY ANY ONE THAT U CAN, racegun is still bein run by another company but i am unsure of the quality of their products
After having used an E-Frame I decided against it as it was a bit to large for my taste. So I purchased the Racegun frame with the A.C.E. eye. After about 30 minutes installing the thing I plugged it into my computer and installed the RIP software. The software is incredible. You can program every aspect of the firing and recocking procedure. You can even program how the marker fires. Semi-auto(when you pull the trigger it fires and recocks without having to release the trigger), classical mode(tradional marker functionality), sniper mode(when you pull the triger the marker fires but does not begin the recock procedure until you fully release the trigger allowing as much gas as possible to hit the ball alowing you to run the gun at stupid low pressure), and full auto. The trigger on the frame itself is very adjustable. Not so much as the E-Frame but still it's adjustable. If you have a low pressure cocker this frame will allow you to lower your pressure even more (I was able to lower mine from 230psi to 200psi). If your cocker is fast this thing will make it faster and without ever breakin a ball if you get the A.C.E. The one down side to the product is that without a Palm Pilot or laptop you can only change one configuration modification without having a Palm Pilot or laptop on the field.
Conclusion:
Unless you absolutely need to change your firing settings while on the field then this frame owns the E-Frame. Also contrary to popular belief both the E-Frame and the Racegun do both use the same SMC valve so they are both as fast for recocking. Bit aside from that this frame is incredible. It has almost no down sides and will increase the reliability of any cocker it is attached to.
