Working on a deal with someone on the nation about a Storm Timmy. Its basically bone stock. So I am wondering as far as performance, maitanence, and other aspects, how is the storm?
I've been out of Paintball for quite sometime so the storm is going to be my 1st timmy. Any advice would be great.
the Texas Storm which is a 2k2 platform marker, is a great platform to start with. even though it is older than the Alias style - 2k5 markers, performance is going to be essentially the same. maintenance is very simple, you just have to keep your ram o-rings and regulator piston o-rings lubed regularly with Dow55, as well as the poppet o-ring (not as often as the ram and regs), and a couple drops of tri-flow on the o-rings of the bolt. depending on how much you play, the rubber detents are going to be another maintenance item. fortunately for buyers (and unfortunately for sellers) the value of 2k2 style timmys is pretty low - as evolkers2003 asked, how much are you paying?
You can find stock 05 Aliases for not much more than $300 these days you should probably try to talk him down. $280 would be more reasonable if the storm had some upgrades...
You sure? I cant afford to spend 450$ as far as I hear the storm shoots ropes. I have around a 280$ budget and it seems to be right up my alley.
I am up to any suggestions so keep me updated guys.
EDIT: Just found a used fusion for 290$ those guns are sick, I havent heard much about those or the mini though. The storm is appealing to me because I had shot many timmys before I quit, A good friend of mine had an A-bomb which I had worked on a bit with him and such.

I got an Empire II with ups for $375 - not saying you'll find that - it was a rare sick deal but as you can see, newer platforms can be had for not that much more. so i would say the storm is GREAT - and you can always upgrade is as there are tooooooooons of aftermarket parts availalbe, even 2k5 it if you want later. but $280 is too high for a 5 year old gun that's bone stock IMO.
I prefer the timmy over the fusion. perhaps i'm biased....w/e. the storm should go for less than 280 for sure. If you can't talk the seller down, then the fusion would be good. you could probably find a stock alias for not much more.
OK, well I just really want a timmy. I love the feel, the way they shoot. My problem is finding one for cheap...everyone on the nation is 350+ My price range is 280. So I dont know what im gonna do.
I actually think those two timmys posted above look really good.
Edit: Are you in luck, i have a friend who asked me if i knew any one interested in buying a timmy. 2k4 lasoya timmy, $270. Dont worry too, ive known him for a while and hes cool and a good guy. Hers his link on the nation...
Yeah crank those are real nice. As far as timmy models it doesnt matter to me. I will buy anyone for cheap. My problem is finding a good deal. Most people who are selling Timmys have really upped ones and wants like 350+.
I am going to just keep looking around and try to find a good deal. Also, as Barber said Timmys will drop, I may wait I am not sure. I will keep all of you updated.

Did you check out the deal i listed above or arnt you interested?
Those are great deals crank. However, I am going to wait until after the cup like evolkers said. Timmys will probably go down, then I will make my move.
Hopefully A soon to be Timmy owner
