Ok, within the next month or so I'm going to be purchasing a new Tippman with a few extras and I need a few questions answered. I plan on buying a Custom with a RT kit and a flatline barrel but I have a few questions.
1. If I buy the RT kit am I gonna be shooting so fast I'm gonna need a revy?
2. Will the RT kit work with Nitro? I would think it wouldn't make a difference but most places list it as a CO2 Reactive Trigger.
3. How hard is the RT kit to install?
4. Will the RT and Flatline work good together if I have the flatiline professionally installed?

Thank you so much.

1. Trust me, if you have an R/T, you will defintly need a revy.
2. I think you can use nitro with it, but I am not completly sure I will have to check back on that.
3. The R/T isn't really hard to put in, yet again its not easy etheir. If you know about the insides of a Tippmann or most guns for that matter, you shouldn't have a problem.
4. I personally wouldn't use a flatline with an R/T, mainly because the flatline slows down your balls a little and in my opinion if your gonna have an R/T which is good for speedball, why would ya want a woodsball barrel like the Flatline, I would go with a 12 inch bigshot and save $50.

one of my friends had a Rt with the flatline and was chopping paint like crazy. (nitro duck)

Thanks a lot. I can't decide if I want speed or range though. Anway, I'm still curious if I can use Nitro with it.

RT is an excellent upgrade for Speedball. I noticed how I was taking out numerous players. The only problem is, you will be using A LOT of paintballs.

Flatline is an excellent upgrade for Woods, on the other hand, your shots will be more accurate than most barrels at the ranges of 200 ft +. The only problem with this is that you have to install it a few times to get it perfect, you have to have your velocity around 260 - 280 fps, and you have to be using RPS Marbalizers which are a little more expensive...

On the other hand the Lapco Bigshot (from what I hear) is one of the most accurate barrels out there and is only $50. It willl shoot any paintball well and u won't have to worry about installing anything!

If you want a taste of speed an accuracy then you should get a double trigger $30, Lapco Bigshot $50, a Psycho Ballistics 8 Stage Expansion Chamber $15, a Vertical Adaptor for expansion chamber $25, and a Macroline Kit $11 at www.countypaintball.com

The only thing you will have to install is the vertical adaptor, expansion chamber, and macroline kit which isnt too bad.

Trust me you will like the results.
