New to the luxe!
Well, I've been itching to get my hands on a luxe for the first time and I got lucky! I got it for $450! The upgrades I have bought are a 2.0 core, and 2.0 board.
What else should I upgrade? Suggestions?

You lucky SOB! You can always put a VP trigger if you don't like the stock one.

Save your money to buy paint - it should be just fine with what you have ! Enjoy. |

Size 17 HBNR or urethane orings. They seem to be the only orings that regularly needs replacement.

Well the trick is to offer, convince, buy.
I'll buy a o ring kit soon.

Well, I changed my dwell to 10 with no shoot down issues at a 550 psi output tank. Is that good?
Edit: FT in or out for efficiency?

Efficiency keep it in.
But If your like me and only carry a hopper and 6 pods, Might as well make it super smooth.
Efficiency, Get an ef rod(efficiency rod) a sprung bolt, turn your dwell down a tad and bore correctly, ft in mani flush should provide best efficiency.
Ft out, mani in 1-3/4 to 2 turns in dwell to stock or so and bore right provides you with the smoothest shot. (all luxes are different but this is a generality, You'll have to mess with the dwell and Manifold to get the best shot)
Also, Chrono to 275-285 for smoothest shot. You dont need the extra 15 fps, and it makes a big difference on the wear of the marker(in my experience)
Any questions feel free to pm me |

Doesn't the FT in provide a smoother shot....

The FT slows the forward movement of the bolt, thus creating a softer and quieter shot that is more gentle on paint. |

Nope. Turn the dwell back up. Short dwell is not as conistent or reliable particularly in cold weather. Dwell at 16 ms with FT in

Ok. Here's all I know.
FT out=more efficiency
Dwell lower=efficiency
Bore to paint=efficiency
Low tank pressure=efficiency

Lower tank pressure won't make the gun any more efficient. You may get a few more shots out of the tank by being able to shoot further into it.
Lowering the dwell on a spool valve won't get you any real gains in efficiency either.
Good, hand fitted orings and proper lubing will gain the most. Removing FT will get you a little more as well
