I just got back in to the sport of Paintball after not playing for 5 years. I came across an Icon-e that was for sale with 20oz tank and mask all brand new for 65 buck. Since then I have upgraded to

Shocktach Delrin Superfly Bolt
Shocktach Feed Neck
Shocktach LP Chamber
Shocktech Spring Kit
Shocktech Shim kit
Black Microline kit
Black Longer velocity adjuster
Dye 03 Stickies
SP Factory Team Flames dropforward with ON/OFF
Pure Energy 88/4500 with dye 04 cover
J&J Ceramic Barrel
Regulator? Just a Regulator. :)

But I still don’t thank I shoots very fast and it is hard to walk I am thanking about getting a 50 gram switch. Do you guys now were the best place to get then is and will it help from the stock trigger? I have done the old ink pin mod on it and it helped a little. And do you guy now what the best way to set the jumpers? I have them all to the right and it seem faster there but I don’t thank it is 13bps fast. I would like some info on what will make this gun perform better let me now your thought and I’ am going to add some pictures below.

You have all that and an alpha mask??? Other than that just look around and look at the kingman forums too see what mods they are doing. All stack tube blowbacks react pretty much the same to the same mods. I'm glad to see a fellow minitrucker in here, lol.

The alpha mask I got for free with my gun and I put an mp3 player in it. I also have a V-force shield with a blue mirror lens I just thought the pm3 player picture was cool. I see you roll with IG that’s cool I now some of those guys. You have a Nissan? Check out my webpage to see my rides. I have looked throw the Kingman forum didn’t really see anything that got my eye. Just decided to post here.

yea get a t-board and you will get a 50g switch with that but if you just want the switch go to this guys thread http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=610676

I bought one from him cheap only 6$ including shipping and will even install for you.
I would also get a CP reg and titanium hammer

I don’t really now how much I have in the gun but not much I get everything off eBay or 2nd hand. Séance I posted this I have:

Got rid of the Shocktach Delrin Superfly Bolt man what a peace of crap it fits way to loose and has a lot of blow back I am running an old Delrin dragon bolt and it is awesome super light.
50gram trigger switch,
A bottom line 0-1200PSI regulator,
Eggy hopper with a z board,
New tank cover and barrel cover,
New barrel I got the Empire 4 pieces,
(Dye gas thru grip,
And new Dye gauges,) In shipping still waiting to get here.

My gun five years ago was a spyder first generation all stock no expansion chamber or nothing. I was going through a box about 6 months ago and found it I throw the thing away thanking I would never play paintball again and two months later I got to now this guy in town Chris he is the boyfriend of my fiancé’s best friend and he ash me to go with him and some friends and thats when **** hit the fan I have had the fever ever since. Lol he has a dragon autococker and some cool things to go with is and a TES

Thanks for posting! Good luck on the gun I would recommend Nitro, the J@J barrel are good but can still brake a ball or two the two piece is nice, but I still sometime use the J@J and a sweet spot trigger is great. When you buy a bolt take the gun with you and try it make shore the thing fits just right tight like the stock one if they will not let you Screw them and go some were else saving five bucks can kill you in the end some times.

thx man... i was thinking about getting t-board but i noticed u mention z-board hows that working for you?

minitrucker007
02-02-2005, 04:40 PM
Well the z-board is for my hopper and it makes the hopper from 17BPS to 22BPS so it is very helpful even thought the gun can’t shot that fast it is nice to now you always have a ball there waiting. I am thanking about getting a t-board myself that’s really all I need to do to get the thing shouting at tops speed now but I kind of like the 13BPS cap it keeps me from shouting to much paint and how the gun is set up now I never chop a ball except for rainy cold days when all paint turns to cheese. If you need any help AIM me I am on a lot.

Hell, its been awhile since i've checked this thread. I had a 96 hardbody kingcab. Now I'm working on my 88 s-dime bagging and dropping a 383 stroker in it. Having problems finding headers that will let me lay frame.
