I have been saving up for a Tippmann 98 custom for ever, and I fineally ahve enough. But recently I came into some unexpected cash from my dad, so I thaught I might step it up a little. My mind first went to the SP ION, but I have heared too many mixed reviews of it, and I was still partial to Tippmann. Then I thought of an A5 Rt, but they are kinda big and bulky for my taste, and two people on my team have them, so now I a leaning back toward a 98 Custom RT with a 14" J&J ceramic barrel. I mostly play woodsball, but i want something that can hold its own on a speedball field as well. Any suggestions? ------------- Tippmann 98 custom RT Apache 14" J&J ceramic Black/green hybrid grip Broadsword vest Remote line Proto Switch EL |

| im sry to say, but 98c no matter what you do just cant cant hold its own on a speedball field, mostly because the r/t is banned in all tourneys (any i have heard of) and some fields ban it on their speedball fields too. If you want woods, go 98c, if you want speedball go Ion for sure |

I'd say go with what you said. You can always save up and upgrade accordingly later on. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

dont get an R/T unless u have an electro hopper... cuz you'l chop... but i'd say go for the A-5 R/T... its smaller than the 98 and its easier to find parts for it. ------------- 98 Custom R/T Flatline BT Stock Tippmann Vertical adapter GTA Inline X-Chamber ADCO IMP Red dot Sight Rocket C*ck II Apache Attack Loader Armotech Zeus Pistol Laser sight Armotech holster |
