are you debating on spending the crazy money on an e bolt? haha if u are i <3 tippys but i would just go with the ion spending 300 dollars on a board that is not made anymore is kinda dumb. or you can get a Custom Pro E for cheaper and you atill have a tippy. ------------- Tippmann Custom Pro-E Polished Internals Custom Mill/Paint Job 16" Rifeled SP Barrel A-6 Stock QEV Cyclone Feed System Chroned at 18 Balls a Second |

I'd take the e-bolted 98 any day. A 98 with an e-trigger will suit you just as well though :)

it depends where you look for the ebolt... the ebolt is a tad bit slower than the stock ion maybe 2 bps slower. the ebolted 98 is more dependable and stronger than the ion. Also you will get more notice with an e-bolted 98 on the feild and they would be wondering why a tippmann is keeping up with the other high end markers ------------- what? |

Used ebolted 98c's can be found almost anywhere. You could look into an egrip. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i think i got an e-bolt. that is to say, i ordered one nib from a store, but they sent the e-trigger, so i sent it back, and they have yet to send me my e-bolt. so im not sure if i ever will get it... anyway, if you can fiind the e-bolt, i suggest getting it. reliable, classic, plenty fast, and its simpler than an ion. over all. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

My friend bought 4 NEW ions before he found one that worked. I am
starting to custom make an e-bolt. $300+ though.  ------------- http://tbish.webs.com/tippy.html - My E-Bolted 98 |
