My 05 electra, let me know what you think

[rafb86]

just got my evil detanator put in and a freak kit will post updated pics soon

[bamf-hacker]

Well then I guess you read my mind.... I was going to say a barrel kit...

Good job

Looks good. Several people have mentioned a new board with eyes, but I don't think its necessary. With a stock board you'll probably never outshoot that hopper anyway, so there's no need for eyes.

Someone mentioned a "paint job". Don't you dare! Painting an aluminum body NEVER works well. It always ends up looking like crap no matter how much time and money you spend on it.

my rodeo's anno didnt come out like crap

looks good cept for the drop and the gauge on the drop. just my .02

[tigerdave714]

Anno is one thing. Painting an aluminum body is another. Ive seen some paint turnout decent, but even the expensive automotive stuff (that is made for painting metal) will start to bubble, chip, and flake eventually.

Do what you want with this one. Just stating my opinion based on the numerous painted markers Ive seen.

yeah if i were to change the color i would def do a anno

I spray painted mine... It came out ok. Its one of the finalists in the runn off vote for SOTM BTW... It is starting to flake though. I need to get it annoed.

But what you said about not needing eyes is false. It doesnt matter that it wont outshoot the hopper. There can be blowback into the neck, making it so that the ball gets chopped. Wich is all to common with Spyders. Especially with a non o-ring bolt.

I would say, change the trigger frame to a regular E-frame, put in a good T-board, put in eyes, get rid of the drop and put a CP On/Off on it(direct mount), and put an Orange bolt in it.

Thats just my personal preference for what your gun is and the way it is. I am not a fan of ACS bolts... eyes yes.

EDIT

I guess the ACS bolt will work if worn in... but I dont like them still, so going back on that blowback thing, its not going to happen with the ACS bolt. Chopps wont happen I mean.

I just dont like how they function. Thats why when I bought my '03 Fenix in '04 I wanted the older one... the newer one with the ACS bolt was crap.

yeah i finaly broke in my acs and it works fine now , but i still want to get a new bolt , but the eyes are a lil costly and im low in funds now so im ganna take it easy for a while , but what to u guys think of the new reg and barrel ?

[DFSniper]

nice. the new freak juniors look way better than the old one. and i've always liked the look of the detonator. i have that same drop but bigger. did you have problems with the guage port plug leaking when you first got it?

nope i didnt get it new, but i dont have any problems with it just that sometimes the on/off leaks a lil if u dont turn it the right amount
