upgrade my 98

you could upgrade to the cyclone and get an electric hopper, or get the ebolt or the response trigger....theres alot of stuff you could do, depends on your preference and what sort of cash your working with

If you have $150, you should definitly get the r/t and cyclone feed. Your gun will have a great woodsball setup then.

but the r/t isn't fully auto. 

if you try to go full auto chances are youll end up with a blender , thats how ive seen it go most times anyway

The r/t is much faster than the e-grip. the e-grip is 15 with the stock board and the regular r/t is 17, super r/t is 22. was/ape boards for the e-grip can reach 25+

According to Tippmann the e-grip can fire at rates of 17 bps. I don't know if this is correct though because they also say that the r/t can only fire 15 bps.

The point is, the r/t is still better than the e-grip.

The r/t or response trigger is an air assisted firing system for the 98c. It is a piston behind your trigger that pushes your trigger back in place to get ready for the next shot. It is completely powered by blowback gases that your gun normally wastes so you don't need batteries. There are also no electronics to fry when you accidently drop you gun in the water.

If you call Tippmann and ask for the bigger hoses, the r/t can achieve 20+ rates of firing. It costs $75. I would suggest getting it as it is perfect for woodsball. The sweet spot is very easy to find. You practically hold the trigger down for a full auto effect. The trigger sort of bounces off your finger.

i do have "skill" its just that when you see 2 people running across a open, flat field no more than 30 feet from you and you send a barrage of paint at them and it seems like god himself is guiding those balls away from them that you relize is it tactics or is it your equipment. Another time i see a kid walking up a 4 wheeler trail im hiding in the woods he has no idea im there, i open up on him yet he shoots me twice in the side and once on my unprotected neck (ouch! the welt went away after 5 days). he was using a a-5 with a flatline. 

unless you have the brand new 98 custom with new, upgradable reciever halves, then you cannot get the e-trigger. The e-trigger only fits the new 98 customs and custom pros because of the different trigger/sear setup. You could possibly get the e-grip, but they are hard to track down and when you do find them, they are about $300. So, unless you want to buy a new gun, you might have utilize the response trigger the best you can. You could sell your 98 custom and get a little cash out of it, then save up and buy the new 98 custom pro E with A.C.T.- it's electric and anti-chop. Just take your time and think about it, read some reviews, and make sure you are getting the gun that best suits your needs.

yes, i'm sorry. 

is 98c able top run off HPA or do i need to buy something new?
