E-Bolts have been discontinued for a few years now, as no one wanted to drop the $200+ price tag on a Tippmann. What they did was replace the internal hammer-spring system with a pneumatic ram, converting a low-end electromech. to a "high-end" electropneu. Problem was, it's not the best design, and stock, the mechanical BPS limit is around 15, and the board is capped at 13 BPS. With some customizing, it's not difficult to get the ram cycling at 20+ BPS though.

As for where, eBay is your best bet, along with forums with a B/S/T section. If you look on the front of the Model 98 Build Off, Tallen linked to a person selling old E-Bolts for $135, but they are for the original m98, not 98 Customs, so you will need to modify the receivers of the newer 98's to fit it.


Raion [The Seller] Does not frequent model98.org anymore; Although I believe she is still selling them on ebay.

The intent for the name plate isn't that of a n A5, its too far back, whilst and A5's is centered.

It is a nice gun, I will admit, but its no Tippmann.

I think the irony of Carl's situation is that Carl used to argue that US-5's weren't bootleg copies of an A5, and look at this now..

No.

BT makes the 98 clone.
PCS makes the a5 clone.

They obviously are.

It all depends on how you look at it though.

Generally, they both follow the mp5 scheme

Really though, it is a copy. They are of better value than the a5 though imo. But If I could go back, I would have bought an a5.

Yes, that's all well and good and all, and it's a beautiful US-5, but it's not a Tippy. Sorry, Carl.

Hm. I always thought there were more speedball Tippies than that. Depressing, really...

Not that there's anything wrong with woodsball, but I like to see diversity.
