Best marker for $275 and under? (maybe a little higher)

[mrlolman]

I have a spyder tl r and am looking for something a little better, performance-wise. I play mostly woodsball.....tourney too but rarely. thanks

[sand_man]

I'm not an expert on much, but possibly a Spyder MR-2 or MR-3?

You could get a Wrath LTD or Promaster.

EDIT: If you like the milsim look, than MR2 or 3.

I'll say a Promaster or Ion. Definitely don't go with a "woodsball" gun since they just won't be able to compete against standard guns. The under $300 market is a little slim right now, but around $400 the options are endless.

ProMaster, VS2, VS3, R3, Type-R, DP Fusion, Wrath, buy a Zip Kit for the Spyder or just up the Spyder.

You could buy my timmy, spend $115 on upgrades, and make it as good as an Alias Intimidator.


EDIT: Edited in some specifics numbers, thanks to Lopez17, Resident Supermod with mad timmy knowledge.
With the money you'd pay for a promaster you can upgrade your classic to be as fast as an Alias. I've done several Classic conversions in the last 2 years with great success. Here's what I'd do.

1. Get an adjustable Ram cap, hopefully this in conjunction with hard detents will stop your chopping problem. $20ish for a Hybrid Bumperless.

2. Get hard detents from PBKingdom. ($4)

3. Get a delrin bolt if you don't already have one. I'd suggest a used one. ($5-15)

4. If you don't have one, I'd get a HPR (torpedo reg) and volumize out the top part of your dualies. At most ($20-30 for an HPR)

5. If you still have the stock board, get a WAS 2.9 or Frenzy 127. ($30-40ish)

6. New Gripframe, 2K2 Style. The axehandle style has been replaced many times over. I recommend an older 2K2 style gripframe for you. Used ones can be bought for as low as $20. This allows you to swap over your LCD, Membrane, switches and harnesses and use your same boards. Total cost: ($20-30)

Right now, if you go this route you're looking at a ballpark upgrade figure of about $115. You'll have a marker that rips as fast as any 2K2 or Alias out there. Slap your favorite barrel and you're mowing faces.

ok thanks....i was thinking about an indian creek lasoya promaster.

[mrlolman]

on a link from here i saw one fore 220 on sale...cant find it now though...

[mrlolman]

two more questions....im pretty sure i want an indian creek lasoya but 1. Would co2 be bad for it? and 2. It's been raining lately. Would the rain ruin it's led and electronics?

[Zedthephish]

You don't want to run C02 on a pro-master. It'll do bad things to the insides.

As long as its not pouring, I'd say the electronics would be ok.

[babustos]

If you can get a Timmy for $275 or less, get that. Your other options should be upped Ion or Promaster. Don't use CO2 on any gun except blowbacks and pumps. If its heavily pouring, you could duct tape your frame or something. But personally I wouldn't want to get any of my gear wet, let alone my gun.

Mr2 Mr3

[iliveforthis99]

MR3 or SP8 for the woods but regular gun will work just fine in the woods. My personal recommendation would be to get an ion and put a mil-sim shell or body on it since you play a lot of woods. But if you really want a lasoya promaster then look on actionvillage.com they have them for $220 now.
