if u play tourneys get a A-5, then maybe with a E-grip if u got enough, if u dont get a A-5 with R/T. I love my A-5 with R.T. its the best upgrade i bought besides my barrel.  Good Luck, and Have fun son.-------------

if you get a 98c with r/t you also need a loader. -------------

only get the a5 with rt if you'll have money left over to get a barrel
if you wont then just get the plain a5 and spend money on a new barrel
and get the rt later..... accuracy by volume sucks

for the last time. you cant put an e-grip on a 98c. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! you can only put the r/t or a e-bolt. -------------

The a-5 r/t would be best, you would have firepower and a hopper to back it up. Good luck. ------------- New Black Matrix. |

I personally would not get an a-5 specially for tournaments due to I am left handed and a-5's are heavier than 98's but I am assuming you dont play tournaments due to r/t is up there then I guess I would still say 98 if you like more speedball but if woods is your thing then I'd say a-5 there cheaper to make electronic and weight dont make to big of a difference in woods

If your going to go with the A5 get the E-grip, if you want the R/T get the 98c -------------

Get the Spyder Victor....you'll rule the field!!!!!! lol jk. If yer gonna use either the 98c or the A5 fer speedball, dont have them wit the RT, since theyre not allowed ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition! 
|
But you can opt both of them wit the E-bolt fer the 98c and the E-Grip fer the A5, since theyre allowed fer speedball play, but you would need to shut off the RT mode, also if you play woodsball then get RT cus most woodsball fields will allow the use of the RT, I know the field I play in lets me and the other players use the RT.Posted By: Travioli

Make sure your local fields allow the R/T. If you plan on playing in tournys then you will want the e-grip, R/T is not allowed in tournement play. Enjoy, let us know wich one you get. -------------

Hey everybody thanks for casting your votes and posting a replay. I think i'll go with the A-5 w/ R/T, since my town sucks and it doesnt have a feild, i mean i have to make special half hour trips just to get to the store closest to me that sells any paintball stuff. then maybe i'll get the flatline or arsone stealth barrels ------------- i reject reality and substitute my own |
