The custom has new milling to allow for the response trigger to be installed.

The 98 custom allows for more drop in upgrades, but performance-wise they are about the same outta the box .

No, you can't.

The Model 98 is the predecessor to the 98 Custom. It features all the core technology of the 98 Custom such as the CVX Valve, Clamshell design, and a True .45 Grip. The Model 98 can accept the Flatline Barrel System and the Comp-Air System with no complicated modifications. The E-bolt Electric System and The Response Trigger System can be retro-fitted to the Model 98 by the Tippmann Proshop, However, due to custom milling of the receiver, the marker must be sent in to the Tippmann Proshop.


Have fun with that.

electro hopper>> only if your puting a RT or whatever into it ....otherwise dont waste your money on an elctro hopper. dont worry about upgrading too much.....as soon as you get some exp. youll want a new gun and regret spending so much on your poopy tippmann!

well I like the Tippmann Model 98 its cheeper and its the same as the custom but you just cant put some stuff on it that you can with the custom. Most of the stuff I do not need when I play I can play just as good with out the upgrades you can put on a custom.

I play at the Combat Zone
