This lays right into my 98C with minor modification.

what kind of minor modifications?

^^That is a good site. They have lots of stuff.

dude e blots are like 230 unless you get a used one.what kind of gun u getting the e bolt for? what i would suggest is that get the custom pro E which comes with the e bolt and the drop, a 11 inch barrel, and a nice paint job.

Yes, you can do that but it still will not fit in the 98c without further modification. Inside the grip frame on a 98c is different from a model 98.  The board that comes with the e-bolt in your link will not fit into a stock 98c frame. I know because I bought one and it didn't fit(from the same guy).

Well, that certainly is not my experience. Everything fell into place  with a little bit of touch up with a Dremel and a couple of drilled holes. This is the unit from Apollo Paintball and my marker is a 4 year old 98C.

The only thing that caused any real dificulty was room for the in-the-grip battery. Also, something I didn't like, there is no on/off switch...which I added. From my collection of parts I found one of the battery holders that attaches to the outside of the receiver. I installed longer wires and everything works like it is supposed to.

Now, I did this installation to see what it takes. I bought the Apollo unit for spare parts since I already had the Tippmann E-Bolt kit. Now either unit fits my 98C.

See guys! Told you so.

You have no mechanical inclination do you? Never had a Dremel in your hand? I think I said in a later post that I have put this in my 98C with nothing more than a drill and a Dremel tool.

BUT, even then, what are you griping about? The unit costs $120 on Ebay and Tippman installs it! Seems like the best of all worlds to me.
