Lets Discuss...

You can do this conversion many ways. You could even use the ESP frame to do the conversion.

[Petis_spyderman]

the best way, imo, find a cheap classic frame, and do it with that first. Also, find yourself a classic "back block" or machine a piece to cover the ram sleeve in the back.
what i did for mine is i hacked up a spare body, and made an extender piece.

look'd good.

Also, this isn't a cheap/easy mod to do. Consider planning on spending upwards of 300 bucks to make it good. Don't settle for stock boards, save and get an aftermarket one.

and i'm here to answer q's if needed.

[LAtournyplayer]

i dont get where to start lol.. like i wanan make my fenix one but i dont get where to start

[idk120]

Buy a 2k5 clammy, that should get you started

[Petis_spyderman]

well...

to start:

1) do you have money?
2) do you have another gun to use while you are making this?
3) can you buy stuff online/live near a proshop?
4) do you have access to power tools such as, but nont limited to:
*drill press
* dremel
* files, sand paper
5) are you mechnaily inclined?

after you answer that, you'll first need to find/buy all the parts. I'm not going to list them, becuase the list can be found on either ottercustoms or the sticky on the top of the page. second, your going to need to do some body work, Most likely your going to have to re-anno or re-powder coat your body. Then, assembly.

easy right?

edit: if you get me all the parts, i could build it.

[LAtournyplayer]

1. no
2. no
3. yes
4. no
5. yea

haha i guess i wont be building one

[longrowe]

Spimmy's are not that easy. Petis_spyderman has an excellent check list but I think mechanically inclined should be first. I would not even attempt this unless you have a very good working knowledge of how an intimidator marker works. It is one thing to assemble parts but you will have to be able to trouble-shoot the assembly when you have a problem. There really isn't any kind of "Factory Spport" for a home built marker.

[iamscarygrrr]

my suggestion is to buy a loaded classic, or even just a stock classic for cheap, and use those parts

it saves a whole lot of money and time

[SHOCKandAWE]

yea I've been building my spimmy since september and it costed as much as a classic timmy.

[Petis_spyderman]

people said, when i started building mine, that i was "crazy" and that i should "give up." Well, i half built mine, and it was going to be crazy.

then, money shortage, and well, i sold it.

now, i'm trying to buy a classic.

[asacpaintballer]

how much modding do i need to do to my gun if i want to put a slot in the top and put a 2k2 bolt in it? i kno that i need to machine the slot and cut the backplate or w/e that piece is

[Petis_spyderman]

uh,

dremel the top. get yourself a medium cuttign wheel pack, it will take all of 10 mins to do.

[longrowe]

Mine is an E-99 body, classic trigger frame. I dremeled the top slot and cleaned up the edges with hand files. The cover for the back (to cover up the ram tube and rear hose barb) I formed out of thickened epoxy and then gound it to match the body shape. I have bukliding it since mid-december and i have it working. I had a small leak down the barrel which turned out to be a damaged poppet. Sent it back to the company I bought it from and I am waiting for it to return so I can continue tuning the board.

[longrowe]

Oh, yeah, I am about $400 with an Entropy board and mostly aftermarket parts.

[[]3-[]D[][]\/[][]D]
