Well, I haven't had this out in a while... I feel bad that it just sits in the closet and rarely sees light. So, should I sell it to make room or hang on to it? I really kinda think she deserves someone to keep tinkering with her... but I also feel that I've spent a WHOLE LOT of time on her. For those that forgot... TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM Added Equipment: - GTA E-Bolt - GTA Comp-Air (LP) System - WGP Black Magic Regulator - GTA Double Trigger - Freak Barrel System - Halo B with Z-code and - White Pearl .45 Grip Panels - Paintball Inc. Drop Forward - Quick Strip Stainless Thumbscrews Modifications: - Raised “TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM” Milled Off - Rear Sight Milled Down - E-Bolt - Blow Back Vents Drilled into Body - Blow Back Vents Drilled into Elbow - Polished Internals (do this BEFORE you paint!!!) - Custom Chrome Graphics - “Black Gold” Paint and Clearcoat - Rear Trigger Stop (Adjustable With Set Screw) - Front Trigger Stop (Also Adjustable) - E-Bolt Movement Sealed - Elbow “Slop” Removed The Trigger now has about 4 mm of travel (tops) and the marker rips. It is obviously not the fastest thing out there due to the feed design, but at the chronometer at the shop when I went to tune it up, it shot just over 13 BPS without chops. The marker looks awesome and it definitely gets its share of attention

i can see the pics, not that i havent seen them before, but...Rico, you have put alot of work into that 98. Its so 'you' that you really cant sell it to someone else. Hell, you put "Ricos Revenge" on the side of it. You have personalized it beyond the point of selling it and getting what its worth to you. Just keep it. It is a masterpiece of a tippmann 98 custom.

No problem with the pictures here.
And I would hang onto that thing. For the time put into it it would never be worth what you would get for it. That's why I always will keep my 98C. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

no do not sell it. you put so much time and work into making it one of the best out there, and whats best about it that it is yours, and nobody elses, no one can copy that. its your marker your custom marker. you cared for it alot, and just think what would happen to your 98 if it got into the wrong hands. ------------- Fubu shirt-$30 Roca Wear sweatshirt-$50 Sean John hat-$20 realizing your white... priceless |

Thanks for all the replies guys... whether you can see it or not... Go here if you can't see the pictures, it is my Car's website and the paintball stuff is on page 4. members.cardomain.com/ricosrevenge - members.cardomain.com/ricosrevenge I shoot a DM4 with a modded board done for the Chicago Aftershock and an Empire Intimidator. The Rico's Revenge is a Chrome sticker and can come off. I do have it displayed. I'm not really concerned about resale value as I have gotten my money's worth out of the pleasure of working on it. I just may prefer to have someone that truly loves customizing take over where I left off and do a center-feed, maybe add the Morlock eyes and do a nice powder coat job on it.

| Well, I guess I am keeping it for now. After talking with Chris from RufusDawg for a while, I ordered a centermount feed kit from him. Looks like the old 98 will be going under the dremel yet again. |
