My first question is about the expansion chamber ive noticed that with my tippmann that they drop off will the expansion chamber help stop that or will i have to live with it
My next question is about the rt and the electronics kit are they worth it and which one is better
My next question is with the double trigger does it make it more comfortable or not because ive heard both

1st question... I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If you're asking will it help with velocity drop off, I don't think so... an x chamber is there to just keep the co2 from freezing (even though if your shooting fast enough your gun will still freeze). My reccomendation would be a regulator... that should help with drop off. Read through some of the old posts and you should find some answers. If you are asking if the x-chamber will fall off the gun... it shouldn't if you screw it in ;)
2nd question... the rt and electronics kit... I have shot a rt. It's pretty nice. I don't know about the electronics kits. Are they worth it? You'll have to go try them out at a local store or field, it just depends on what YOU like. Personally I think the rt would be worth it. For the electro kit I'd rather spend that much money on another gun or somethin'. But that's just me.
3rd question... This is a personal preference.

You're having consistency problems? You mean that your paintballs are dropping off? An expansion chamber would help to keep c02 in a gas form improving consistency. So yes, an expansion chamber would solve your problem.
Secondly, it depends on how much you like the model 98. I know a guy who ended up putting 900 into his model 98 with the flatline, rt etc.. he likes it. Personally I don't think its worth it to upgrade. You could just save up and get an electro, like a Shocker, Impulse or Intimidator.
Thirdly, it is preference. Personally, I hate double triggers.. even on non mechanical. And with such short trigger pulls as on an Angel or other electro, I don't need a double trigger.
The only upgrades I would consider would be 1. Motorizes loader 2. Preset N2 tank 3. Good barrel.
But if you want to keep using co2, get the expansion chamber.
