Ok, my friend got a spyder xtra and was wondering what are the good upgrades for that gun I do not known much about the spyder xtra or for spyders of all kinds I started with a tippman and now I got an Ion for christmas but back on subject please tell me what he can get that should help alot in performance he is going to get a revlution hopper but taht is it for now.

The next thing you want is a barrel. Then if he is really liking the gun, and wants to stay with it, get an electronic trigger frame for it, and also a nice new ACS bolt from Spyder. Then after that if he still doesnt wanna upgrade guns, get a HP tank for the gun. After those, he should prolly upgrade to a better gun.

Dont get an ACS bolt they may stop chopping but thats pretty much it. Tell him 2 go with either a superfly or an aka lightening bolt. Spyders dont chop from my experiences. And then as redtarget said get a compressed air tank. There is much more you can do 2 a spyder, but i wouldnt put that much into 1.

Well I have a TL-X and it has never chopped, so I guess kazoo is right go with another bolt. Dont put more money in to it than what was spent on buying the gun.

if you want to upgrade a spyder xtra get a better spyder..i'm not knocking xtra's. i've done alot of research on them..there nice...BUT...you can get better guns for a little bit more money..i think most retailers sell xtra sets with co2 and everything for like 100....for 85 you can get an icon. its a spyder imagine knockoff.....but if you have to stay with the xtra get a barrel,delrin bolt,triggerframe,and a new gun then...but stay with a spyder and you can take all the upgrades with you

I like my rodeo (little more uprgraded Xtra) and the body is what I like the most. Not a real fan of top cocking guns. So get an e frame and see if you like it. Nothing eles if you do it right you have just a little better imagine and no loss of money.

All spyders are pretty much the exact same on the inside, so getting another spyder would only be wasting money on gettin a bunch more stock parts and a different looking body.

At most I would get the revvy, then prolly a new barrel like the progressive or j&j ceramic, and an e-trigger. After that just get hpa, and it will be time to look into getting a higher end gun if he still plays.

sick_Dawg. i understand what your saying but. i know i would rather buy a new gun and keep the old spyder as a back up. you pay for quality too. i'm not saying the xtra compared to the electra is complete crap. but there a higher quality as the price tag shows. but i dont mean to sound like i'm hating on you. i respect you and you posts.

I to have an xtra and I really like it. I have a freak jr. on it and a halo frontman. The next step would be compressed air. What kind of triggers are out there to upgrade the marker with?

xtra is mech right? probably not many. Try finding an e-frame for it.

This thread is a little old... But I dont think there is really any aftermarket triggers for a mech spyder. I may be wrong though.
