Question

What upgrades should I put on my Tippmann 98 Custom to make it a speedball marker?

Answer 1

Tippmann 98 Custom is not really speed-ball kinda gun. If you want a good cheap starter speed-ball gun get a spyder, and a Empire B Reloader hopper. I say start with a spyder because they are GREAT starter guns, with MANY upgrades available. They are easy to work on as well.

Answer 2

Well if you really want a speedball 98 its going to cost a good amount, you need:

E-grip - 100 bucks

New barrel - 20-100 bucks

HPA (highly recommended) 80-200 bucks

Halo b hopper - 80 bucks or more depending on where you buy

Double trigger (must have with e-grip, will help A LOT) - 10 or 20 bucks

And thats the minimum you would need, all in all you should just get a new speedball gun.

My suggestion would be a PMR for around 250 ish, then you would need to buy a compressed air tank, for around 60-200 bucks, plus a loader for around 80-100 bucks (like a halo b), and there you goaround 550 bucks and you get a great intermediate to advanced speedball marker, rather than putting 400 bucks into a tippmann 98, which would be overall not even be as good as the stock PMR for speedball.

Now dont get me wrong, the tippmann 98 is a great gun, thats actually my current main gun, there just no a speedball gun, there longer, heavier which can be a disadvantage in speedball.

Answer 3

98 isnt a good speedball marker.. your not gona want a "long" barrel, nothing longer then 14 inches, anything over 16 inches becomes a pain(just because their so long) and becase they use more air.

you prob want e-grip

rocker trigger(or any other double trigger)

HPA

good loader(like halo or ponoikio[sp?])

besides that i would just get another marker for speedball

Answer 4

well the 98 custom isint the best gun for speedball but get the following:

-e-grip

-any electic hopper

total cost:140$

Answer 5

Depends on the money you want to spend on it and what position you want to play in games.  I would put a cyclone feed on instead of the stock gravity feed.  Longer Barrel always helps too. Other than that I'm not really a tippmann guy.
