I must object. I own a rodeo, and I had the same pre-concieved notion that you have -- however the stock rodeo regulator actually works very well. I have had no shootdown going 13bps with my Hyperframe. I have had very regular velocities within 3-5 fps over 10 shots using hpa. I am very impressed with the rodeo as it is out of the box it is a very good marker. ITs no Intimidator, but it does very well for what its designed. Runs on HPA or CO2 well, and it looks pretty good too.
If you do decide to upgrade the regulator however, you will need to get a new assault block and asa as these are not interchangeable with aftermarket parts.
My advice is to get a better bolt (Spudnuk'l or tigershark) and a HPA system (68/3000 steel tanks go for like $80.00 and are a good start.) You have a good barrel with the one you have, DYE boomsticks are great but if you don't have teh cash for hpa, you wont have $100 for the boomstick either.
You will like the rodeo -- play abunch of games with it and you will see.
