The stock solenoid on the Ion is not limited to 17-bps. The solenoid used in the Ion was specifically designed by Smart Parts for use in the Ion, and can cycle just as fast, if not faster, than any other linear-actuated or pilot-actuated solenoid used in other guns. There is no reason to upgrade the solenoid....period. The stock Ion is capped at 17-bps purely by the electronics. It's simply not programmed to allow for faster speeds. It has nothing to do with the design of any part of the marker. The stock bolt will cycle 20-21 bps without a QEV, or 25-bps and higher with one. Adding a new solenoid makes no difference.
looked up some stuff yesterday and found this. i was wrong but the ION is still a cheaper remake of a shocker and yes the ION might be half the price but the shocker will last longer its still faster and its more accurate. im still a shocker fan

Ion = 90% of the Shocker at 50% of the price. how can be 50% of the price if shockers about one grand u idiot -.- You would pay $1000 for a Shocker, and you call me an idiot?

Solenoid isn't capped at 17 board is, also ydna showed with an uncapped board the solenoid could handle 28bps with a qev installed. I would like to see an ion shooting 28 bps even with an uncapped board. There are no after market boards as of now unless you mod a different one. Also why would smart parts make a gun and just cap the board at 17? That would be retarded. The Solenoid(sp?) is what is holding the gun back because it can't go faster then 17bps although it's still fast. Don't get me wrong the ion is a good gun for the price, I just don't really want one because so many people already have one. EDIT: also btw I'm not trying to flame anyone, I'm just stating the truth.

well i know a guy that plays at our field that plays on a team for nppl that won an ion in a tourny and got the board flashed, so yes i have personally seen an ion shoot in the upwards of 20+bps
