         Ive been playing paintball for a while but, im new to speedball.  I wanted some opinions on how i could turn my 98 custom into a paint shooting monster.  I have a 98 custom with 12V revy hopper double trigger and J&J ceramic barrel.  What else could i get to make my gun better suited for speedball

Yep, and the resultant marker becomes equivalent to a $900 electro-pneumatic.

Yeah, trade your 98 in for an Ion and then get the Virtue Board for it.  Thats about the same amount of money you will pour into your gun to make it a good speedball gun.  Ion+Virtue=$330   OR   E-bolt+faster hopper=300   and its still not as good as the Ion. IMO, get the Ion and new board.

if ur gonna get an e-bolt save up for a new gun unless your 98c holds alot of sendimental value. an e-bolt stock for around 200 dollars only does like 14bps, i think its a waste for 200!for 200 dollars i should be gettin 18-22bps.

yeah the ebolt is alot of money but at the same token its great walking onto a feild with you upped 98 and just mowing people down, I plan on putting a DM5 board in my 98 soon so it will be even better

as for you question i would go with HPA fisrt, the if you plan on only playin at one field and they allow r/t got for that if not get an ebolt. Get a stabilizer for sure they are great, do some custom work to it no matter what you get, o yeah and a better hopper i like my egg but its up to you.
