Version 2.1 of the hop-up alignment system, designed specifically for SCAR-L HPA replicas using:
- Blackdraft Phoenix engine (compact high-performance HPA engine with competitive pricing).
- MAXX MODEL chamber (high-precision hop-up chamber with excellent bucking control for HPA systems).
This kit guarantees perfect alignment between the Phoenix nozzle and the MAXX MODEL chamber on the SCAR-L platform, maintaining full compatibility with the ICS lower receiver and eliminating inconsistent feeding issues commonly found in HPA SCAR builds.
Compatibility
| Component | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| HPA Engine | Blackdraft Phoenix SCAR-L |
| Hop-up Chamber | MAXX MODEL SCAR-L |
| Base Replica | SCAR-L HPA |
| Gearbox | V2 / ICS SPLIT |
What the kit includes
- Rear clip for mounting using the rear body pin or fixed stock.
- Base with housing for M3 threaded inserts (optional brass inserts).
- Side clip specifically designed for routing the HPA tube/line in SCAR-L builds.
- Front locking top cap optimized for the MAXX MODEL chamber.
- Rear plate with mounting point for an M5 screw (additional reinforcement).
Installation and adjustment
1. Printing and preparation
- Print the parts with 65–80% infill.
- Lightly sand internal areas to ensure a clean fit within SCAR-L dimensions.
- Apply dry lubricant or wax on contact surfaces to simplify maintenance.
2. Installation in the replica
- Insert the base into the ICS lower receiver (or compatible lower) and install the M3 threaded inserts.
- Mount the rear clip aligned with the SCAR-L rear body pin system.
- Install the MAXX MODEL chamber with the inner barrel; the top cap locks the assembly and maintains precise alignment.
- Route the Phoenix HPA line through the side clip designed for SCAR geometry.
3. Final fixation
- Secure the rear plate using an M5 screw with washer for maximum rigidity.
- Verify that the Phoenix nozzle enters the MAXX MODEL chamber perfectly centered, without lateral play.
- Perform feeding tests and adjust Phoenix pressure according to your setup.
Required components (not included)
- 4× M3 × 4.2 mm threaded inserts
- 4× M3 × 8 SHCS screws
