Answer these questions will Help.

  1. What Style of paintball do you play? (Wood, Rec, Tourney)
  2. How long have you been playing for?
  3. How long are your Arms(Optional)
  4. How large is your bank account
  5. How long are you ganna try and keep your 98c for?
  6. How good are your Mechanical Skills(Do you look at a wrench and run or are you willing to Drill holes in where there shouldn't be holes).

^ Polishing your Internals doesn't Void your warrenty... it doesn't really do anything Physical to the gun except chip paint away...

Why would you need an x-chamber for HPA?  You need a reg, not x-chamber
blame it on the irish....

well all that you realy need is a electronic hopper.  I say buy a empire reloader.  It has a thicker shell so it will go good with the tippmann.

 Well if you have a small tank then get a 16-ounce tank,and get a V-force shield mask. Now your mask will NEVER fog. And I would recommend a motorized hopper but you said that you already have that covered.

Two of those are personal preference, such as the rail site, and the double trigger.

Why would you need an x-chamber for HPA?  You need a reg, not x-chamber

Actually, unless he is planning on buying the LP kit, a secondary reg is not necessary at all.  I find that a double trigger is best for easily increasing your rate of fire and you will outshoot a gravity hopper easily so I'd buy an ehopper.  I have a 12vlt Revy w/x board and they're great.  Also, go to www.model98.net like suggested, an excellent resource.

Btw, why is tippmann discontinueing the ebolt? I've never heard that...

if u get HPA dont get and expansion chamber, theres no liquid to expand, so get a regulator. i would play with what u have then see where u need to upgrade ur gun. like if ur firing to slow get an auto hopper and a double finger trigger. if ur gun isnt working the best, get some HPA, yes a stock tippmann works on HPA, an e-bolt and whatever else u would like.

Yes polishing your internals does void your warrenty according to one of the mods.

I would first go to model98.net and do a couple of those mods then play a couple games and go from there

i agree. except for the ebolt. i dont think its worth the 250 bucks when u shoot about just as fast with the r/t which only cost 75.
