Hi ,

I have a question for you !

This winter I bought a tippmann 98 custom and I love it.

I'd like to upgrade it but I do not know with which parts to starts .

a lot of people tell me the most important upgrade with a 98C is the cyclone feed . But i want your position on that .

i play a lot in milsim scenario and woodball.

i'd like to know the best brand in upgrade equipement ?

Thank for your advice !

start simple. polish the internals and try the clickypen on the triggger mod.

Its not the number of markers you own it is what you have done to make them your own style of marker.

Your friends are right... a cyclone is a must. Also do some research and buy a good barrel.

I hope you benefit from all the information 98og has to offer.

Welcome to the forum!!!

I have a cyclone on three of my 98 two with egrips and one with rt. I like the cyclone on all three.

-You say you want to upgrade(when I think upgrade I think preformance)
if this is what you are going for then the cyclone is great. As for the
egrip or rt I have both and like both just going to come down to where you
play and there rules. A good barrel is always good thing.

-So are you also wanting to change the way it looks(ak, M4 or something
along those lines)
I dont know much about this part because I have not done one like this
yet.

98 Custom: RT trigger, LPK w/Tippmann Secondary Reg, Rocket Cock, 16" Night Stik, Colapsable Stock, Double Trigger
Cyclone: X7 LP hopper, virtue crown, 1/8” lines, Palmers QEV, Lapco QEPH, TechT soft paddles, TechT ratchet, TechT lightning rod, and War Gear clear housing

dont get a cyclone. If you want a better hopper then get a HaloB or something similar. They can be found regularly for $40 or even $30 if your lucky. They are better than a cyclone and half the price.

For your first upgrade I would suggest getting a barrel, Customproducts is my top choice. Dye Ultralites are great as well.

Phil speedster : thank you for your hospitality :P

The general idea behind the clicky spring mod is that you put a spring from a pen(like the clicky ones that you write with) in place of the spring on the trigger. It supposedly makes the trigger easier to pull, in turn giving you a higher rate of fire. I did it to my 98, never could tell the difference.

For about $ 50 what is the best mark in barrels. I see a lot on websites and i would like to know for you , what is the best value for my money ?

I am very interested by proto barrel for the price , but i'm not sure for the quality

i can give you nothing in the barrel category but i notice a difference in my stock spring. and polish the internals dude. that makes your marker more efficient and it is super easy to do

Don't bother putting in a clicky pen spring. Just go with no spring at all. It makes a huge difference in how light the trigger is. I also will second the suggestion to polish the internals. It's pretty easy to do, and helps in a lot of areas. It makes the marker cycle smoother, with better consistancy, efficiency, speed... It's not a huge leap forward, but it does make a difference.

Proto barrels are ok. As far as quality goes, the'ye just fine. I, like BadMagic, highly recommend CP. Their 1-piece classic barrel is $30, and shoots money. It comes in several bore sizes, which is the biggest selling point to me. Only problem with them is that they don't look the best on a milsim gun. However, CP has their Tactical line of barrels that are $10 more, and have a much more tactical look (obviously).
