Version 2.1 of the hop-up alignment system, designed specifically for ICS MPX/CXP HPA replicas using:
- Blackdraft Phoenix engine (compact and affordable HPA engine with excellent performance in SMG configurations).
- M-POWER chamber (hop-up chamber optimized for HPA with precise bucking adjustment).
This kit ensures perfect centering of the Phoenix nozzle with the M-POWER chamber within the compact ICS MPX/CXP platform. Fully compatible with the original ICS lower receiver, maintaining the structural rigidity of the ICS split gearbox system.
Compatibility
| Component | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| HPA Engine | Blackdraft Phoenix |
| Hop-up Chamber | M-POWER |
| Base Replica | ICS MPX / CXP |
| Gearbox | ICS split (compatible with ICS lower) |
What the kit includes
- Rear clip adapted for the ICS MPX/CXP stock system.
- Base with housing for M3 threaded inserts (optional brass).
- Side clip for routing the HPA tube in compact configurations.
- Front locking top cap specifically designed for the M-POWER chamber.
- Rear plate with mounting point for an M5 screw (additional structural reinforcement).
Installation and adjustment
1. Printing and preparation
- Print the parts with 65–80% infill.
- Lightly sand internal areas to ensure a perfect fit in the compact MPX/CXP chassis.
- Apply dry lubricant to contact surfaces if needed.
2. Installation in the ICS replica
- Insert the base into the original ICS lower receiver and install the M3 inserts.
- Mount the rear clip using the ICS folding stock mounting point.
- Install the M-POWER chamber with the inner barrel; the top cap locks the assembly and keeps everything centered.
- Route the Phoenix HPA tube through the side clip designed for the limited space inside the MPX/CXP body.
3. Final fixation
- Secure the rear plate using an M5 screw with washer for maximum rigidity.
- Verify that the Phoenix nozzle enters the M-POWER chamber centered, without lateral play.
- Perform dry feeding tests and adjust the Phoenix pressure according to your SMG configuration.
Required components (not included)
- 4× M3 × 4.2 mm threaded inserts
