My powertube cracked.  Do I just have to buy a new powertube and swap my internals over or do I have to replace it all?

You only need a new powertube. You can switch the valve and velocity bolt yourself, and it will be fine.

ya you can call tippmann up and they will send you a new one. but see this is why i recommend looking at the Dead On Pro seal, it is aluminum not plastic, so it won't crack. just a suggestion

Possibly, but I find Tippmann will repair/replace a lot of things even when the marker is years out of warranty.

Well, my latest contact was to see if they had battery cases for the E-Bolt on my 98C. I bought the 98C second hand and the E-Bolt, while NIB, from a non-Tippmann dealer who knew where he could find some in a wearhouse.

The tech at Tippmann said he had a couple and would send them to me at no charge!

Tippmann also refurbished my Flatline at no charge even though that was also second hand.
