I am currently doing an A level Design Technology project and of course to keep it interesting i have decided to create an ION related product.

Namely a body kit. To help (which is always appreciated) If you could take a moment of your time to fill out my survey.

1. What style (or theme) would you like to see applied to an ION body kit?

a. Industrial (like the RL shocker)
b. Smooth/cleancut (like the ND shocker or DM6)
c. Fantasy (like a disney/fairy theme (female DT teacher))
d. Scientific / Alien (like the alien timmy effect)
e. Organic (like vines growing on it, milled)
f. Other (please state with example of a marker or idea)

2. If this design was to go ahead, Which would you prefer to see the firing cap or have it concealed?

a. Firing Cap viewable
b. Firing Cap concealed

3. What material would you prefer the body kit to be cast / milled out of?

a. Light weight Alloy (like shocker, ego bodies)
b. Polymer (like the original body kit of the ION)
c. Wood (What tree are made of ... possibly oak)

4. What life expectancy would you expect of the body kit?

a. Short time period (3 tourneys then it would be recycled)
b. Medium time period (a season at the UKM)
c. Long time period (a season and a half at the UKM)
d. Life time period (still around when your underground)

5. What special features would you select out of the following? (3 maximum)

a. All clear body and firing can (able to view the bolt firing)
b. Glow in the dark material (does as it says 'glows in the dark')
c. Camo anno (all varieties)
d. LEDS (shiney lights)
e. Custom Milling (your name milled into the marker)
f. Oil effect anno (like pearlescent (sp) paint)

6. If you could have anything else on or involved with an ION body kit what would it be?



Thanks for you time

4. What life expectancy would you expect of the body kit?
c. Long time period (a season and a half at the UKM)
Well D, but if you stomp on it or something then I wouldn't espect it to survive after that which is why I put C.

5. What special features would you select out of the following? (3 maximum)
c. Camo anno (all varieties)
e. Custom Milling (your name milled into the marker)
f. Oil effect anno (like pearlescent (sp) paint)
Obviously the two types of anno wouldn't be used at the same time, they would be an option.

6. If you could have anything else on or involved with an ION body kit what would it be?
'Bolt out back' technology, eyes and detents removable without pulling the whole marker apart, option for autococker threads. Could use Shocker detents maybe ?

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Edit: If you produce one which supports BOB, and the eyes / detends are removable without stripping the whole lot down - I'm interested. PM me if you would be willing to produce and sell one. ;)
