I have a model 98 and a 98 custom right now... They have done me well... I'm thinking about getting one more paintball set, and then I'm just going to try and maintain what I have.

Here's what I'm looking at

Marker: Custom pro e

Hopper: A hopper that can hit 15 bps.... I was looking at the halo backman, but I don't think it can hit 15bps....

Remote: 32 degrees coiled remote with slide check

Air Source- Nitro Duck 90ci 4500 psi x-stream tank.. (The one i'm buying for my 98 custom)

Barrel- I'm a little unsure right now.... I was thinking about buying another flatline, and a J and J ceramic 14 inch as my super back up... But I'm open.. If you don't recommend a flatline, I would like to find a barrel (possibly a kit if it's not over 100$) that shoots paintballs near (or farther while keeping accuracy) the length of a flatline.

 

That is what I'm looking at now... Any feedback is appreciated.

I'd look into getting the Evolution II (hopper). They can feed up to 19 bps, realisticly more like 17 though. And I'd take a look into the BT Apex (barrel). They have the great range the Flatlines are known for, but without the sacrafice in accuracy or certain paint usage.

I have no experience with the Evolution II, but I will agree with SuzukiRider about the BT Apex.  When I finally got a taste of the BT Apex barrel from a friend who loaned it to me, I got hooked.  Much better than my Flatline.  Like SuzukiRider stated "They have the great range the Flatlines are known for, but without the sacrifice in accuracy or certain paint usage."

Thanks.. I think I'm going to go with that hopper. Do you know how many rounds it holds?

I've already experienced the apex though... I didn't like it... I thought the flatline was bad when it came to sound, but the apex sounds like a magnum. The ability to determine your projection isn't to my liking either.. It's not a bad barrel, but it's not my type.

The Egg2 will hold at least 200.

I would suggest a Lapco Bigshot for your barrel, its louder than most(not as loud as the Flatline) but it work well with your speedball type marker.
