Here are some pics of the insert.

[Lt. Tank]

just thinking out loud..... no argument pleasse, no debate....

An LP valvue to make it even softer shooting but less efficient, 2 orings to compensate efficiency after make it softer and a weighted bolt to use innertia to gain so efficiency ..... just wondering how it shoots compare to a stock 11, hushed 11 and pooty 11

Also wondering why the weighted insert can be removed (since it comes with an oring) when it could´ve been non

Go and play paintball.


After installing the DART kit you don't NEED to adjust the LPR.
After installing the DART kit you don't NEED to adjust the Dwell.

However, after installing the DART kit you may want to fine tune the dwell, the LPR, or both. But the choice is yours.

Some people like to tinker and tune. Some people like to pull their gun out of their bag and go play. The DART kit will certainly allow those that DO like to tinker and tune a larger range of adjustment across all parameters over the stock gun. But importantly for those that just like to play, hours spent with gauges, test kits, chonographs and adjustment tables is most definitely not a prerequisite to enjoying and feeling the benefits of this kit.

People just need to start posting their set ups and share what works. Simple.

I have mine set at stock settings, I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but after this weekend I can give some insight on what I tweeked, if anything.

Im shocked no one has a vid up yet of one.....

I'm just curious if once the kit is installed and the lpr, hpr, dwell were not touched if there will be a increase in velocity. IMO if there is no increase then why buy the kit when you can fine tune and tinker with the lpr, hpr and dwell on a broken in gun with stock parts to give you a even smoother shot! This is only my opinion.

You're opinion would make sense if in fact it didn't increase fps...but it does :-)

Yea once you drop it in you'll notice a velocity increase of around 20-30. At least I did.

after i installed the kit the fps jump up dramatically without touching any settings or regs

I just installed the DART kit in my Fluffy Bunnies VEGO 11. Prior to beginning the install I put the gun back to stock with all the factory stock settings (board settings, dwell, LPR, HPR, etc. - adjusted to factory stock per recommendations in Ego manual).

I then put a hopper of reballs through the gun and I was averaging about 275 fps.

I then installed the DART kit and left all of the settings stock. The install went smoothly and was pretty painless. No leaks when I was finished, so that was a good thing.

I then shot a hopper of reballs through the gun. I used the same reballs, same barrel, same chrono, same weather conditions (indoors), etc. and I found that the fps jumped dramatically. I was shooting about 275 fps prior to the install and was shooting about 325 fps after the install. Absolutely everything was the same, except the DART kit.

The gun felt very smooth and the sound signature was a bit quieter. Not super quiet, but it was an improvement.

After adjusting the HPR down to reach 285 fps, I found that it was extremely consistent over the chrono. Definitely more consistent than it was prior to the install of the DART.

All in all I am impressed with the kit. I want to thank PE for continuing to research and find improvements to an already existing gun, instead of slapping it all in a new gun and forcing me to buy a newer model to get all the latest upgrades (and spend a lot more than $95 in the process).

If you have an Ego 11, and spending $95 won't require you to eat ramen noodles for a month, then I 100% recommend you get this kit.

Sorry, no video. I tried to get one using my iPhone, but the quality was horrible and you really couldn't tell what was going on. I guess I am not going to make it in hollywood as a camera man.

Yes thank you very much for giving a detailed account.

That is one heck of a jump in FPS!

Please keep in mind that, while I tried to be as scientific in my comparison as possible, I probably don't have the worlds most accurate chrono. While I did see a "significant" jump in fps, it would probably be best to think of it as a range (say 30-50 fps) instead of an exact number. I am sure each gun will be different, but I bet everyone will at least see a modest bump in fps.

What all of them said

[pjerzy1]

rw, thanks for giving a nice detailed description with all of the information that we all have been dying for. I have been wondering if I should invest into this or not. By what you are saying it is totally worth it and that it is a great upgrade for an already great gun.

Again, thanks.

I just got my D.A.R.T. kit installed on my ego11 today also. My results are not as drastic as rwparkers. I was swapping from a techt kush bolt though. Rwparker, can you comment as to which bolt you had installed prior to testing. I'm guessing the cure3+ since you said all stock.

My fps gains were marginal after swapping to the full d.a.r.t. kit from the kush bolt. I'd say it bumped me up about 10 fps.

I must say, the fps gains aren't the only thing that makes this kit worth it though. The sound signature is noticeably changed. Again, as rwparkers stated, I would not call it quiet. It softened the sound from the typical ego "crack" to a duller sound signature. Much better job than a hush bolt IMO.

The best thing about the d.a.r.t. kit in my opinion though is how it smooths the shot out. My ego is just broken in with 11 cases through it. I thought I had it smooth until I installed this kit. Don't get me wrong, it was smooth before, but after installing the kit to me it almost felt like a different marker.

Overall I give this upgrade two big thumbs up. I was pondering selling my ego before, but now I believe she will stay with me.
