Vic20Owner
« on: April 27, 2016, 07:45:44 PM »
I received a Bumblebee today that has a small full auto board installed on the top of the main board. It has "weblimbo.com" written in copper trace on it. I did some digging that lead me to username Vic20Owner. I found one mention on the old forum of this person stating he was the first to crack full auto. I didn't even know there was a full auto mod for a Bumblebee board until a few days ago. Does anyone know any more about this topic. I'm very curious.

I remember Vic20 from the good.old days.  There were a number of people that did mods to up the rpm or.full auto. I have notes from OPP on the topic as I remember.    I remember the add on resistor and switch so you.did not.lose functionality. I still have some of the early boards.  I will have to check them.  My first Drozd was May 2003.  The mods depended on whether you had a one or two capacitor board.

I took some pics that I am sure will turn out huge because my new phone will not allow me to take small pictures. I didn't know about the single capacitor board until today. I went through the gun, and it appears to be functioning correctly, but I am not sure. The switch on the LED side does what it did before when the switch on the other side is in the most forward position. The middle position on the ROF side does nothing. All the way back goes to full auto overriding the burst switch. There is only one ROF that I think is 900 RPM.

Here is the blast from the past compared to a stock dual cap B board.
