Just wanted to say im finally in the family. I recently bought a dangerous power threshold locally from a member on the site.
Glad to be apart of this section in the forums now!

Congrats man the threshold is my favorite dp marker made so far

Its an awesome marker, be aware that the stock board is not a tournament friendly board. I dont know if ans has the clearance sale of the ape board but you might want to chect that out. You can also invest in a techt bolt engine and techt is also having clearance sale of that bolt series.

Thanks guys, i have looked into the ape board. I seen it was 49.99 at ansgear.com. Does the tech t bolt offer that much over the stock bolt? I only got a chance to shoot a pod or so through the marker. It seemed to perform good, but seemed a bit loud for a spool marker. Then again, could of been shooting hot. No chrono on hand.

Thanks guys-

It is loud with the stock bolt. I only advise you if money is no issue, techt gives an efficient increase, way lower sound signature and smoother cycling meaning less kick.

Alright sounds good! I just searched for their bolt, found a few on ebay brand new for 59-69 i think it was. Have to shop around and see if that's a good deal or not.
Do you guys know if the micro switch on the ape boards feel like other boards with vertically mounted micro switches?

I suggest check out techtpaintball cause they have it for 49$. And if your active you get a discount as an addition.

Edit: you dont have to worry about he switxh on the board. It will fit and makes no difference during walking the trigger. At least that' s my opinion. But ill be making my own trigger for one of my threshold though as the previous owner messed it up.

[disturbed989]

Eh it made the trigger feel weird for me. I would recommend the 7th element board and trigger combo but the board may come not working and you would have I send it in to get a new one

[Prepper]

So, i buy a new board that comes not working? Then i have to spend time and money shipping it to them to get it working? Sounds like to much of a hassle. I don't do tournaments. I play mostly some speedball and woods. For fun, when something becomes so competitive, the fun usually goes out the door.
So, i will look into a board that has a micro switch though. Can't stand optical.

I bought mine off of ans and it wouldn't activate the solenoid. While the board you get may or may not work I prefered it over the ape board because of how the ape board made the trigger feel.

I'm joining the family next week. I am buying a g3 se with hopper and freshly hydro'd tank for $230 shipped. The gun has a 7th element board and a CP Rake trigger. The hopper is a VL JR with a ganstar board. Did I do well in this purchase?

Its only as good as what you feel when you receive it. But it seems like you got a bargain for a whole set up.
