Version 2.1 of the hop-up alignment system, designed specifically for ICS MPX/CXP HPA replicas using:
- PolarStar F1 engine (compact drop-in HPA engine with an efficient pneumatic system).
- ICS MY-09 chamber (original ICS hop-up chamber optimized for compact platforms).
This kit ensures precise alignment between the F1 nozzle and the MY-09 chamber, eliminating lateral play and improving feeding consistency in HPA configurations for MPX/CXP platforms. Fully compatible with the original ICS lower receiver and ICS split gearboxes.
Compatibility
| Component | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| HPA Engine | PolarStar F1 |
| Hop-up Chamber | ICS MY-09 |
| Base Replica | ICS MPX / CXP |
| Gearbox | ICS SPLIT (compatible with original ICS lower) |
What the kit includes
- Rear clip for mounting via rear body pin or fixed stock.
- Base with housing for M3 threaded inserts (optional brass).
- Side clip for routing the HPA tube/line.
- Front locking top cap specifically designed for the ICS MY-09 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 perfect fit with the ICS lower receiver.
- Apply dry lubricant or wax on sliding surfaces.
2. Installation in the replica
- Insert the base directly into the original ICS lower and install the M3 inserts.
- Mount the rear clip aligned with the MPX/CXP rear body pin.
- Install the ICS MY-09 chamber with the inner barrel; the top cap locks the assembly while keeping everything centered.
- Route the PolarStar F1 HPA line through the side clip for a clean internal layout.
3. Final fixation
- Secure the rear plate using an M5 screw with washer for maximum rigidity.
- Verify that the F1 nozzle enters the MY-09 chamber perfectly centered without lateral play.
- Perform dry feeding tests and adjust the F1 pressure as needed (45–120 PSI recommended for MPX builds).
Required components (not included)
- 4× M3 × 4.2 mm threaded inserts
- 4× M3 × 8 SHCS screws
