lpk
ebolt
halo b
blade trigger(mines screwed up)
palmers micro rock
evil pipe
worrgas 70/4500 preset
maxlow bottom line style reg

thx

[spor]

pm NaturalNewbie he'll tell you all u need to know about the ebolt.;)

[Coenen]

It'll be a nice gun, better than TE's since most of them are still mech. Definitely talk to NN about this.

Good luck.

[paintballawbko]

yeah te only has 2 e98s prolly for the back players and yes it will be sweet...but heavy

[Coenen]

Like you are thinking about how heavy your gun is in the middle of a fire fight...I know I do all the time:rolleyes:

[paintballawbko]

thats true but in speedball wich is all i play neways i will notice, especially since im eather at the 50 or snake

Strange I never notice my gun weight... My setup is in my sig. :rolleyes:

[sBOMB]

me either.

[paintballawbko]

ever since ive shot my friends bushy ive been sskeptical about it butt neways......:rolleyes:

[hybrid-sniper]

Pfft
everybody says tippmanns are heavy but i've yet to find out what they're talking about, spose they're only heavy if your weak, or have gone from shooting an x-mag or 03 shocker or something like that back to a tippmann then sure you'd probably notice a difference, but i use my tippmann so often i find it rather light, i'll throw my tippmann fully loaded on a scale sometime and see how much it weights, im guessing upwards of at least 6lbs (im horrble at judging small weights lol)

back on topic
paintballawbko
thats looking like a pretty sweet tippmann your building there, i'd go with an egg2 with either a Y or Z board if needed, the egg holds more paint, good eye, and is plenty fast.
I'd also switch your tank to a crossfire 68/4500, seeing as the new worr tanks are still suffering the new product syndrom with the odd problems here and there.
The max flo is great a great reg, but IMO i prefer an AKA sidewinder hooked up to the VA.
Blade trigger is very nice.
Pipe is an excellent barrel kit, but kits are unnecassary, i think it would be better to go with an 2 piece Ultra lite, with different sized backs if needed. or a CP 2 piece and construct your own kit as you go along.
Then paint your marker if desired.

Thats just my constructive critisizm :) , your set up you listed sounds great i figured i'd just add my $.02 on it.

[chinesebugrepel]

I'd say go with the ballistic sports ekit over the ebolt.

[yakitori]

true on the weight. I have never noticed my custom being heavy. I shot a friends automag and when he handed it to me, I was like "WTF, your tihs (<-) is heavy man" he is a skinny mofo. im talkin 5'6" 105lbs skinny. but he can fight like a 6'6" 300lb guy w/ a gatling gun in each hand. :biglaugh: j/k @ soaka.

in other words, you plan to drop $1,000 and 3 dollars on a m98.

you know what you can do w/ 1003 dollars... a more compact gun and a hell lot more.

good luck. ill be at the sidelines laughing.

then again, you could go diamond plate your m98, i could care less.

do what you like, but please, think... 1000 into a m98.

Agreed. I've upgraded my Tippy as far as I'm going to. I'm gettin a Z Timmy and HPA tank for about $1100 after/during the summer. I can't wait. :D

y not just make everything by your self and not spend as much money on tank and regs

What? :confused:

[spor]

ya how is he suposed to make his stuff by himself?

[paintballawbko]

lol i new this would eventually come up... im gunna get all this by september(my bday) and i can get around 600 in the spring for weed eating my hillside and staining our decks we have like 4 huge ones.

[E r y k]

well i mean, i know where youre coming from.

i was like that too... i said that i was going to upgrade my tippy like no other... and it is a waste...

you will regret it later.

trust me... right now it seems like a good idea, but its not.

E R Y K, thats his reasoning for pimping out his tippmann, although i agree with everyone about upgrading to much is a waste, the only other thing im getting for mine is a drop, then all the rest of my money this year will go towards paint and tourny fees, and maybe to the cocker/impulse fund (still deciding which:) )

[E r y k]

its just like saying,

my parents wont let me get a new car so im going to upgrade my honda civic

but im going to spend enough money to get a WRX STi.

whatever floats your boat dude, its all up to u

true, although for the $1000 he's putting in to it he could easily get ain used mag with the works, or a pimp cocker, or even a viking, then just use the tippy as a back up. i dont see what the problem is, really if you make the money then you should be able to spend it on whatever you want.

[chinesebugrepel]

Why won't your parents let you get a new gun? If it's because they don't want you wasting too much money then they sure wouldn't let you put so much into your tippmann. I can't really see a good reason other than that.

[yakitori]

Ive spent

98C - 135
RT - 78
VA - 25
Palmer stab - 92
rocket cock - 25
CO2 16&20oz w/ A/S - 65
smart parts drop - 8
lapco bigshot - free as gift
freak 14" - 68
empire reloader - 50
lapco direct feed and aci elbow - 35

that adds up to about 580. and thats including the marker itself. Also, not counting a harness, mask, marker case, tank covers, etc. but I dont consider that an upgrade for the marker, since I would need these things no matter what marker I shot.

I am through too. There is nothing else that I want for my marker. I already feel guilty about spending that much on what I have, simply because I coudlve spent that money on other more important things like utilities, or mortgage, or groceries even. Do you know how much groceries you could get for that price. Thats about 4-6 months worth of food. its a good thing that I own my vehicle, no payments, but I gotta do oil changes, air filters, etc. and that adds up.

Its up to you though since its your money youll be the one missing it. To me that is more than I am willing to spend on my paintball equipment. I would rather be at the field ballin, than at home starring at my upgrades.

thats me though

:)

OOPS: I forgot about grips...thats another 20, so about 600 total for me.

[paintballawbko]

yeah im still trying to convince my parents and ive decided to get a bushy b2k3 or imp.

[gilligan77]

get a phantom and use your extra money to upgrade that. plus, youll save a ton on balls and air

[hybrid-sniper]

go for the imp IMO, awesome stock reg, good stock barrel, very small and tight, ripping power.
just throw a egg2 on there and rip it up

[Mr. Graham]

if you dont get an ebolt dont get a halo B that would be a wast of $$ you could get a ricochet that would keep up with it without spending $140

[Turambar]

So the point of this thread was?
