I've been debating with myself whether or not to get the Ballistic Sports Ebolt for my gun--
I used to have the r/t on it, but I gave it to a friend, so now it's mech with trigger jobs (kind of an old pic, so you can't see the trigger stop) Should I get the Ebolt or not? Here's the specs
- 14' J&J ceramic
- Double trigger (homemade stick trigger if I get the ebolt)
- LP Kit
- Bob Long Torpedo Reg
- VL EggII
- Shocktech Delrin Bolt
- Shocktech Drop
- Shocktech ASA
- Macroline Kit
- Polished Internals
- Drilled vert adapter
- Milled rear sight
- Paintjob
- Trigger job with pre and post travel trigger stops
- PMI 72/4500 Carbon Fiber tank
Black sticky grips coming soon.

Definantly. That's a good solid speedball 98, it just needs the E-Bolt and it's perfect, other than the drop....

I figure since I've come this far with the gun, I might as well just go all the way and throw an Ebolt on it. After the Ebolt, I don't plan on getting any more upgrades.

| Yeah, thanks for your input though. I don't know why, but I feel like I have something to prove with my gun. That's why I spend so much time and money on it. I just like Tippmanns, that's all. I know there are way better guns out there, but I like being different because you really don't see too many upped Tippys out there. I don't know, that's just the way I feel..maybe I'm crazy..

This is true too but I have heard alot of people they would actually prefer 98's customized alot(like the one shown) EVEN MORE than many cockers!

since the ebolt kit is so expensive, i would think twice, and maybe just maybe, go with a higher end marker. especially if you want to play competitive paintball. it seems you need a $1000 gun just to play in T'ments these days.
however, if you think you can pull it off, go for it.

you already wasted so much money on it :D... why not...
i wouldnt though... 230 for an upgrade that costs more than your gun? and makes it shoot like a stock high end marker?
Save it up and get a trixy!

Save it up and get a trixy! | Um..Meh...I wouldn't call it "wasted." Why would I save up for a trix, when I can spend $230 and have a gun that can hold its own against a Matrix ?, well, almost the same. I don't want another gun, for the 3rd time..I'm keepin my Tippy, because I like it.

If i were you i would buy a ICD or SmartsParts, but if you like the feel and style of the 98 go for the E-Bolt. But i thnk thoose things are way to dang exspensive.
