View Full Version : Get a TES? Or stay with the Spyder?

Ive put some time and money into my Spyder Imagine, but I still find myself lacking in speed. It is hard for me to rip out a nice consistant rope of paint off the break with my current setup. Every so often I will find that perfect rhythm and speed that send 1 or 2 people walking off the field before they even get to their first bunkers, but this doesnt happen very often. I have a feeling that I am hitting the cap of my stock board, which is slowing me down and causing me to skip shots, which is not good when you are laying down a rope.

As you can see in my sig, my Spyder is pretty upped, except for the stock board's 13 bps cap. I will not buy an aftermarket board, because of price reasons. This is where the TES comes in.

I recently shot my buddy's TES, and I am able to absolutely RIP with it. Fast, consistant ropes are easy to accomplish, even though his setup is completely stock. His switch has to be at about 200g while mine is at about 50g, but I can go much faster (easier) with his.

Ive done some educated figuring, and I can get about $225 out of my Spyder's parts, and to get into a TES it would cost about $200.

TES ups- Tigershark bolt, Ergo reg, JJ Ceram barrel, Egg2, duckbill.

The bolt and the duckbill are the only things I will have to buy other than the marker itself. I have everything else.


What do you guys think? Would it be worth it? Or is it just wasted effort? Personal experiences would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Only do it if you feel like sticking with blowbacks. I say you save a little longer and buy a BKO if you want speed, or just buy a used Mag and wait for the hAir trigger to come out.

I need to stay with something that can use CO2, because I cant afford an HPA tank.

Then yes, get the TES.

Kind of silly to move from one blowback to another...

BKOs can run fine off of regulated co2. I'd go for that, or a used mag or imp.

But whatever floats your boat, I guess.

SpyderPride
07-10-2004, 10:37 PM
Wouldnt liquid CO2 bust the noid in a BKO? I have anti-siphon, but I dont want to have something that could break at any time. I know a blowback will never be hurt by CO2. I know that a BKO can break because of CO2.

thunderpig
07-10-2004, 10:39 PM
Read the co2 faq thing in ICD. I don't remember it too well.

It states something along the lines that a/s co2 + a descent HPR, will be fine.

I wouldn't risk using a co2 tank on a BKO. Especially if you invest that much money into it and then it suddenly breaks down. I just ordered a TES today by the way.

Get a BKO and a 47ci Nitro tank. You can find 47ci's used for around $50.

Why do you guys keep recommending a BKO? Ive shot one, and I am not that impressed. A BKO is no better than a TES in these areas: speed, accuracy, consisency. A BKO has less kick than a TES, but Ive found that the kick of my Spyder doesnt bother me much. I can still keep a string within a 1 foot circle from across the field, when I can actually get a string going.

Getting a BKO and a Stabilizer or an Impulse is out of my price range anyway. You guys need to face up to the fact that blowbacks have gotten really good. Not better than low end electos, but at least very close to on par. And cheaper.

i thought bko was a closed bolt operated marker? i might be wrong..

i would just save up more and get a B2k4.. cuz thats what im doin =) its just so pure secks :love:

id never go from blow back to blowback.. but i duno

No, no ICD gun is closed bolt.

If you got a BKO, all you need to run off of CO2 is a palmers female stab and an Anti-siphon tube. Then your set. If you cant save up the money for the stab though, I dont really know what to tell you.

I guess you could go with the TES, but if I were you I'd save the money and go for an electro. Hell, if you dont want to buy a new regulator, I'd een suggest a used Imp.

robdamanii
07-11-2004, 09:45 AM
I'd tell you to go with a vision impulse at this point. Maxflow works UNBELIEVEABLY well on CO2, and it's a decent marker to boot.

I really see no point in going to the TES. Save a little more, and buy a gun that is worth it. Patience my freind. In this sport, I've found its worth your time to just lay down the big bucks at the start. It will save you money in the long run. Unless you are in tournies, and youre losing because of the Spyder, wait a little and save up for somthing good.:twocents:

Ever shoot a TES? Ever play with it in a game?

Aside from feeling cheaper than my 'Cocker and having a worse reg, it's just as good. I've yet to take it past Revvy speed, but I've no reason to doubt it will perform just as well at higher ROFs. I've played entire days with my TES just for the hell of it, it's a very nice gun, especially for the money. And mine's stock..

Like Timmy, angel etc. I dunno, thats what I would do. And if its his board thats affecting him, why not get an IS or T board. Its cheaper. I don't follow spyders, but I think those are two of the best out there. Or that new one thats coming out soon. I mean he has a lot into that Spyder.

You just answered your own question. You want something you can shoot faster and you know that the TES allows you to shoot faster. If you like his TES get one, if you didn't don't.

07-11-2004, 05:42 PM
I'm wondering, are you capping out the imagine board? You spyder should blow a TES away, slasher, IS switch, hell, the TES only has the eye and the has a higher cap provided you can shoot faster than 13bps, and thats with a aggitated hopper, then both the TES and Spyder will be the same speed, otherwise your spyder is better.

SpyderPride
07-11-2004, 05:56 PM
I have an Egg2, but used to have a Reloader. I would chop a few times each day with the Reloader, but I havent chopped a single time with the Egg. I still cant lay down a consistant rope every time I try to, and with the TES I can.

Im going with the TES. Thank you guys for your input. The only reason I am not going with a BKO is because I cant afford a HPA tank or a Stabilizer.

07-11-2004, 06:15 PM
Why do you think you can't lay down a stream of paint with the spyder? WHats preventing you from. Mess with the trigger, sometimes a short pull isn't the best for ripping strings of paint. Thats the only reason I can think that the TES is easier to rip on. But anywho, a TES is nice, the trigger was iffy imo, but it needed to be adjusted I think.

SpyderPride
07-11-2004, 06:29 PM
Ive tried having the trigger on my Spyder at .5mm, to the length of switch movement, to 1 mm of frontslack. And I still skip shots and cant get a rhythm. Every so often I can get a fast burst, but I cant go right into it on command. That is what I need, and for some reason I can do that with the TES. It must be because of the cap, because it sounds like about 14-15 when I rip on the TES. It sounds really fast, much faster than I can even do in bursts on my Spyder.

Throughout this whole time I wasnt even thinking about the TES's eye. That is just another incentive to pick one up. My buddy says that his works really good.

commando1
07-11-2004, 07:31 PM
Get a TES, they run fine on CO2, and my personal experience has been problem free. Half the reason I sold my TES is that it shot so fast with the new switch I put into it, I didn't have enough money to pay for it. If you want a chop-free, FAST gun get a TES,
I HATE SPYDERS

07-11-2004, 07:37 PM
I guess it is the cap... I can't think of anything else... Thats weird though. I have this angel at a short pull and it doesn't skip a beat. I can only guess it is the cap on the imagine. :|

Co2 has constant jumps while Nitro is more constant along with compressed air, compresed air is a hassel because you have to fill it up like after ever game. depending how much you get filled.

c02- Problems, When turned into gas, its frezes up all the enternals, like o rings, bolt and such. and its not that great to use. has constant Spikes on the Chronagraph

Nitro- No cold air, and is Very constant.

c02- Problems, When turned into gas, its frezes up all the enternals, like o rings, bolt and such. no, when its turned into gas, that's when its good. its when its not completely turned into gas, or some liquid goes in that ur gun gets messed up. if u have nothing but liquid seeping in, ur gonna have problems like ur gun actually freezing up to the point it wont work until it...thaws. and its not that great to use. i had no major issues with it. has constant Spikes on the Chronagraph get a reg.

Nitro- No cold air, and is Very constant. nitro can be just as inconsistant as co2 if u dont have a good reg. my crossy reg works, but not that well. i was varying quite a bit with my old spyder before i sold it.
:sigh:

there's nothing wrong with using co2 unless the gun cant handle it.

cutom: lol...

I just did a sound test with Goldwave. I was dry firing with CO2, and I was getting 12 bps in fairly decent bursts, but with lots of gaps. I think the gaps are where I am hitting the cap. Ill try to get a sound clip up.

When I was shooting the TES, it sounded faster than what I am able to shoot with my Spyder.

07-12-2004, 06:01 PM
Well, then that's probably it.

Buy a T-board or something. It will save you some cash as opposed to buying a TES.

Actually, it would cost a lot more to get the T-board. If it was cheaper, I would do it.

I will sell the parts to my Spyder for more than $200. I can find a new TES for $160. Ill get the Tigershark bolt and a new duckbill ASA for about $30 combined. I am not losing any money on this deal.

I will be keeping my WGP Ergo regulator for the TES. Is this a good choice?

BKO > TES in reliability also. I've heard and witnessed some real TES horror stories. Cocking issues, springs that need to be trimmed, blown O-Ring everwhere, and don't get me started on Draguns attempt at an "HPR". I have to ask that you NEVER compare a TES to ANY electro ever again.

The TES has nothing but a cheapy eye system over your Spyder. I garuntee you that much.

TES's switch make 2 clicks when you pull and release it. The gun doesn't fire twice however. Listening to the switch on the TES, it will sound like your shooting twice as fast as you actually are.

Really, you gain very little, if anything, by switching to a TES.

I'm sorry about your purchase. I wish you the best with it though.

Aye, I didn't see you were selling the spyder. In this case, I suppose it would be cheaper.

You could skip on the bolt and just use the stock. A new bolt won't help much IF at all.

I'd keep the ergo. :tup:

07-12-2004, 06:10 PM
Well, I havent bought or sold anything yet.

I was actually dry firing the TES with CO2, and it was really fast. And the eye has worked perfectly for my buddy (no chops yet). And I know how to lighten the switch as much as I want.

Ive been able to fix all the problems with blowbacks that I have ever seen. If something goes wrong with the TES and I am unable to fix it, you have my word that I will post it right here and let you know that I made a bad choice and you were right.

You know, I love my Phantom more than any gun I have owned or shot, it is my opinion, and you probably have not even shot one. If you did, you probably weren't good at it so you don't have any thing nice to say in regard to them. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
Anyone who plays paintball is a friend of mine so, w/e bro.

If you saw me play wih my Phantom you would see why, there is nothing quite like taking someone out shooting a expensive shiny marker with a pump gun, it's a great feeling.

You can call me arrogant you can call all SC players arrogant but it doesn't mean you are right and secondly we are tired of you guys always saying Phantoms suck, well just because you can wiggle your fingers faster, or that you spent your income on a Paintball gun doesn't mean you are better. Well I guess flaming is un-avoidable, why can't we all just......get along.

What do you mean "its not the same commando"?

There was/still is a guy with the name "commando" to and he kinda got on a few people's nerves.

It's irrelevant now, but Impulse's can only work with A/S CO2. It'd work like crap with regular CO2. The Max-Flo works incredibly well with A/S CO2, however.

Well... not everyone!

Just lots of people.

Greetings to the new commando! There is a guy at my field who plays with an old sheridan pump, he can destroy experienced players with fancy electros. After all, he has been playing non-stop since the beginning of paintball or at least close to it. Phantoms don't suck, just some people who use them.

that doesnt matter...the co2 coming out of an a/s'd tank is the same as the co2 coming out of a syphon tank. the only difference is, the a/s delays the point in time when ur shooting a rope that liquid will start seeping into ur gun.

nos911: he hasnt pissed ppl off lately

whoops, my bad.

I'm gonna save that one for when I see the other commando posts next though, cuase I quite liked it :D

commando1, I wasn't putting down phantoms, I was commenting on hwow you suggested that a TES w/ just a new switch would compaire with an electro. Your example stock Impulse still has the TES beat, and the Impulse is about the worst stock electro you can get for the money.

not when you can get a B2K4 w/ PDS for $575.

That's everything the Imp offers
+Better anti-chop
+Fade ano
+Nice milling
+Blade Trigger
+LPR
+No FSDO

for $25 more... yeah

+Better anti-chop meh...vision is good enough for me
+Fade ano true, but still...unless it were a red/black, id get plain black anyway...haha
+Nice milling personally, i think imps look good anyway even though they're so plain
+Blade Trigger personally, i can work with both...this in particular is too much of a preference thing to matter.
+LPR yea...bushy owns the imp there
+No FSDO this isnt so much a problem anymore

for $25 more... yeah
but overall, yea...a bushy is a much better buy

Oops. Forgot to mention the trigger is adjustable 4-ways. HArr, take that stock Impulse trigger that is teh cheap!

And the bushy is quite a bit lighter too.

Oh and a delrin bolt on the bushy.

lol, there's probably more.

Anyways, I don't much like stock Imps. They somehow donn't seem like you're really getting what you paid for. :|

:D

haha...yea...i havent tried the new bushies yet...but i got to fool around with a few impys...trigger's not bad at all.

im not sure about weight, but yea...i can imagine it being lighter.

im sure the impy comes with a delron bolt as well.

i think i'd get a bushy too...except i really really really want a strange impy for no real rational reason at all...i just fell in love with it...:confused:
