I have an old non-act 98c that I wanna setup for speed ball. what will I need?
since its non-act is it going to chop a lot of paint? I also want to get the LP kit for it, is it worth the money?

Sorry I had to delete that post, cause I just remembered you said have an old 98, and the E-grip wont work with it, but if you can find the E-bolt, that would be on the Electronic Part you need.

As for the others LPK, Reg, Center Feed Mod.

As for avoiding Chops, the best you or anyone else can do is place in Eyes.

But if you had the Newer 98s with ACT, the E-Grip w/Virtue Board Upgrade, Center Feed Mod, LPK, and Reg is all you need.

The 98 isn't exactly cut out to be a speedball gun. With all the money that you put into it to try and make it a speedball gun you could probably have gone out and bought a speedball gun and the stuff you need for it.

A lot of people (myself included) love to play speedball with 98's because they aren't cut out for it. A lot of people tend to put Tippies into the woodsball category. I like being different.

That said, a 98 CAN be setup to be quite the speedball marker. However, it will take a lot of modifications, a lot of money, and a lot of determination. For simple practicality, a 98 or any other Tippy would probably be a poor choice.

all you need is paint... point and shoot.




A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.

I just traded a bottle for this, it works great its just missing that chunk of receiver which obviously looks ugly. anyway its a ACT with egrip, I was wondering if the LPK will fit on it. The few I have seen say they will not fit ACT models, plus my bolt has two springs in it, I dunno if the LPK bolt has that second spring slot. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to cover/modify the missing receiver chunk?
