i think im goin to get a a5 but i want a marker that can keep up with a electronic gun i know about the e grip but the a5 costs twice as much as the 98c but to turn the 98c electronic its like $200 while to turn the a5 electronic its only like $130 i was just wondering whats the best deal in the long run and i play woodsball ------------- A-5,responce trigger |

| To get an E-Bolt for the 98 Custom plus the cost of the gun itself, it would cost roughly 330. To get an A5 plus the E-Grip it would cost roughly 360 (not positive about the prices). Which really is not a big difference. So its really mostly personal preference, I would choose my 98 over an A5 just because I like the feel of it, but then again some people like the Cyclone feed on the A5. So iI say shoot both and see which one you like best. |

| one more thing, if you were to get the 98c you would also need to get a hopper to keep up with it, which is one of the advantages of the A-5. If ztbisme's prices are right, the a-5 with egrip would end up costing you less |

Well now the A-5 is the only choice because tippmann stopped making the E-bolt which means you can't make your 98 custom electric. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

| Srry my price was way off on the E-Bolt, but I guess that doesn't really matter. When did they stop making them? |

yeah but i know my local shop still has 3 of them in stock and it wont be long b4 ppl start sellin their ebolts off of their 98s to make some cash plus i bet u anything that other companies will start making electronic conversion kits for a 98 custom. i would go with the 98 cuz i like the feel of it better. i have owned a 98 and an a5 and i like the 98 better. if u do decide to get the 98 then u might want to hurry up while there are still ebolts out on the market cuz i bet that theyll be hard to come by for a while. but if u want speed then a 98c is the way to go. the a5 is faster but if u put a vertical feed on there and an ebolt then it would be faster than an a5. also the cyclone has lots of problems being self fed and all. when u start gettin low on air but still have enough to shoot the cyclone will quit feeding. ------------- Rockin' the Ironman Intimidator.

98c with e bolt - around 330 a-5 with e grip - around 300 id get the 98c if i were doin speedball cause the cyclone is bulky but if u have a 98c ud need an electric hopper which makes more $$ -------------
