ok guys, im sick of people walkin up and sayin,"that thing looks cool, and then later in the conversation they ask how fast it can shoot and i try to change the subject cause its embarrasing. SO i want to put a dm4/5 e-bolt in my gun, PLANS:
BOARD: LED Predator board with assistant ramping. I heard there is more than 1 kind of a predator, and mine says tagsportz.com on it.= $67 PURCHASED
EYES: I dont know my limitations on eyes as in which ones i can use with my board, and the directions just say DM4/5/C board, then on the next page it says at the top 5.0 registers. Can anyone help me out on telling me what eyes to use, where to get them, and how much they are?= N/A NOT PURCHASED YET
SWITCH: I dont know if it will work but i just bought a 5 gram switch to see if i can make it work and a 25 gram switch, witch i know will work just incase the 5 gramer wont work.= $12 for the both PURCHASED
WIRING: I just bought a harness(no switch), i dont know what kind but just incase i bought a cluster of wiring with guids and all different prond heads on them. I am going to relocate the battery into the tank cover.= $6 PURCHASED
LPR: Palmers mini rock attached to the lpc. running the hole along the body into the 2x trigger gaurd hole right into the solenoid.= $15 PURCHASED
SOLENOID: I just bought 2 bob long solenoids, 1 is brand new and the other needs a gasket and lube and it will work.= $55 PURCHASED

RAM: Macgyvers(different forum friend) 2-wayed clippard ram, hard plastic housing w/ clippard QEV's= 75 NOT PURCHASED YET
MEMBRANE:DM5 membrane pad in the grip, OR bob long lcd screen if it will hook up.

Tell me what you think about my plans and what I need to fix about them. Thank you for your time. O0

i'd rather not, people would not expect a tippmann 98c to be rollin with angels, dm6's, autocockers, and some timmy's. i have put WAAAYYYYYY too much money in it ($600-$850) to take a loss. and it holds sentimental value to me so thats a less chance of me sellin it. i would sell it if it wasn't that important to me.
and thanks about the luck![](smileys/smiley4.gif)

Why is it embarassing......just ask them how fast they can pull and laugh at them when they say 15bps.

cause when its 1 on 1 and there in the upper room getting a birds eye view of the feild they can direct where the shots are coming from. and id rather have my fingers, gun, and skill do the talkin not my mouth.
and skillet, even if u did patent it to would be to late, all i need is a membrane, eyes and a ram, and someone else helped me on making this list cause they had almost all of these things. and how would you patent something that everyone has axcess to.![](smileys/smiley9.gif)

I totally understand why you want to do it. Its custom. Some of us like to do things to our guns that everyone else can't buy and bolt on.
Sorry I can't help you, but good luck.

Do you realize that on NPPL tonight on ESPN @ 9:00 The Top teams only shoot around 15bps Seimi Auto only? You gun would be custom but A 98c with Ebolt(maybe a fw other mods) could keep up with Angels and Cockers and Timmis?

the whole point of really doing this is becuase its one of a kind. nobody would ever think a tippy could keep up with a timmy, angels, exc. i am not really going to shoot at 25 bps the whole game, but thats what my expectations are of it, my goal is 18 all day and that would be just fine with me. and yes, when im done i should have like 250 in the e-bolt bringing my gun up around $1100 total. the only reason it so much cuase i never really did firepower ups, i made the mistake of EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE THE FIREPOWER. thank you guys for all the posts, i would like to know more opinions on my furure setup.

Mistake? Its the smart thing to do. Make sure your gun can handle the speed before getting it.

maybe, but ud have to mount it custom cuase it doesn't have that metal rod coming off of it, theres only a little bulge on this one. u'd rip if u did this, polished ur internals including next to the trigger, and took a clicky pen spring and streched it to size so it was weaker than a regular pen spring. thats what i plan on doin to mine, o i think i want to do the magnetic trigger but is that better than the weaked clicky pen spring? when im done with everything getting mounted im gonna post pics, then later on like a weak after get a vid.

if thats a question it is. im buying a custom clippard ram w/ clippard qevs and he said it hit 20bps no problem and showed no signs of slowing down. he milled a custom sleeve out for it too. its $75 for the ram and it has the same stroke as regular e-bolt, but im gonna see if i can make it 1.25, instead of 1.5. as for the board, i can set a cap on it w/ the eyes on or off for the people that didn't know.
if that wasn't a question, tell me what u mean cuase i dont get it.

That is what I have been told about the GTA E-Bolt. It turns out not to be true. I set up a little electric powered plunger to push against my trigger. In semi-auto the E-Bolt board maxed out (firing pulses, not the limit of the ram cycle) at 13 cps. No changes in the adjustments on the board made any difference. I could make it slower, but not faster than 13 cps.
Now, the ROF is controlled by a variable capacitor. I might change that to get higher ROF. Just need to experiment.

Man I love you for doing this, I totaly understand why your doing it too. My only advice is mounting the Ram just use the old butt cap and drill out as necesary. That way you have a nice snug fit and you can always buy more from tippmannparts.com there inexspensive. IMO that might be the best way to mount the ram.

did you get your solenoids of ebay about two weeks ago? then you out bid me ![](smileys/smiley7.gif)
as for the eyes check with wicked air sportz. i know im prombley going to get a strike but if you check pbnation.com they might a have a list of online stores to purchase the parts under the makers manf list they do for bob longs. you don't use a chamber to propel the bolt forward and just have the valve kick it back?
|
Posted By: PaintballPIMPIN
Date Posted: 30 April 2006 at 10:54pm
well, i bought the solenoids for 55 so i payed up for those. and as for the e-bolt its 2-way so air from the solenoid blows it forward then back, im tring to find a washer that fits around the vavle pin so theres little blowback , ur only gonna get a strike for saying something was for sale not selling it, or sometimes they give u a strike for posting a link on where there sellin something. i dont realy wanna pay 40 dollars for eyes, i want used ones any color for 20 bucks if i can find them that cheap. well guys(maybe lads) i want to listen to ur comments, questions, and recomendations. any question i can answer i will, as fo ones i dont know the other forumers might help u out.

what do you play? are you a woodsballer or a speedballer? if you play speedball tournys that actually have pro or semipro teams a lot of the rules won't let you shoot anyfaster than 15bps i got kicked off a field in oregon because i was shooting to fast. i was only at about 19bps but it was enough to get me disqualified. that was when i switched to playing woodsball.
