Does anybody know anything about the super r/t mod ? Is it for the 98 custom or the a5. If so where can I get and for how much ?? Thanks (sorry about all the questions, new to the forum) |

I believe it's for both the A-5 and 98c. To do this all you have to do is simply call Tippmann and tell them you have the LPK and R/T and ask them for the larger hose/fittings(even if you don't have the LPK  ). They'll send you larger hoses/fittings for free. Then just replace the stock hose/fittings with the new ones and you're set. Also polish you're internals for the best performance.------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| Just make sure you have a loader that can feed about 20 bps, as this is how fast you will be shooting. |

^^^Because when you have both the LPK and r/t you need the bigger hose/fittings for your gun to work properly. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

whats a good hopper then ?? Will a z-boarded eggy work or do I have to go to a halo ??? Sorry about all the questions |

The Z-boarded Eggy will probaly keep up but get the Halo. When you think about it, it's the smart thing to do. I mean, an Eggy ($70) + the Z-board ($20) will cost you $90. You could get a Halo B w/o rip drive for $110. And you won't even think about chopping. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| well i'm in canada and the egg is $110 Z-board $14.99 Halo b with rip is like $200 a plain halo is $179.99 |

^^Oh, that's a $75 difference. I would just get the Z-boarded Egg then. It can keep up to probably about 18, 19 bps or so (and yes, I know it's advertised at 23 bps, but on a gun with paint they don't feed as fast as they're avertised). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

You'd think tippmann would have figured it out by now when they have
like 4 times as many people that bought the LPK are requesting the
larger fittings. They need to just sell it as an upgrade. |

 thanks guys for all your help. I'm going to order the hoses and fittings from tippmann on Monday. ANd as for the hoppper I haven't decided yet. Another downside on teh halo is the battery consumption. Its like 6 batteries.

putting on larger hoses wouldn't do you any good if the holes in the fittings stayed the same

i have an apache with a centerfeed and i can feed probably 18 bps reliably with no chops any more than that i doubt the apache would keep up. i would strongly recommend the centerfeed, the stock elbow definatly acts like a bottleneck! ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">
