im getting a titamiam colored spyder sonix,
what should i do to upgrade it to get the best out of it
this is what i was thinking
-new barrel probably 14 inch black
-new expansion chamber
-buying a electronic hopper
-clamp neck
well is there anything else that i should add to max out its preformance

its really just a preferance of what you like to upgrade performance wise on your gun. What kind of spyder sonix is it?

2.0 · May 6th, 11:42 AM

The only things on the marker you might want to look at changing are the feedneck and the barrel. Instead of an expansion chamber perhaps look at an inline regulator and macro line which you'll need, but that'll depend on the use you'll give it, but given it's a sonix i'm assuming it's for occasional play so neither is absolutely necessary.

Otherwise the marker in itself is ok.

Hoppers, it's all a matter of personal preference, since it's not an electronic marker, the ROF is decent but don't expect much, so a standard VL 200 gravity loader should suffice.

oh okay, thanks idk what type of spyder it is its the new model. But okay i heard that the barrel was nt good so i was already planning on and upgrade there

Look at J&J ceramics barrels. they're great barrels and are also inexpensive. if it's just for recreational use on occasion, jus stop there. if you intend on using it a bit more, look into getting a metal, clamping feedneck and the plastic ones spyder expects you to use break very easily and very often.

yea, i plann on playing about 2 times a month trhought summer and towards winter, speedball is really the onlything that the fields around me have or a indoor field that sucks. But yea i was looking at a clamping neck, what about the trigger i saw sum threads on a good replacment trigger any sugestions?

TheAznInvazn · May 7th, 10:32 PM

You could mod it

That will boost performance without buying super expensive aftermarket parts >.<

Hayden_Campbell · May 8th, 04:59 PM

mod? what do you mean how is this done, i mean modification i know what it is, but i need to know how plz and thankyou

***martix_agent*** · May 8th, 05:00 PM

www.ottersccustom.com go nuts

it's the ultimate spyder page.

aw dang it appears as if the page is down currently. that happsns sometimes.

Hayden_Campbell · May 8th, 05:12 PM

oh okay thanks ill make shure to check the link to see when its up, but is it pretty easy to modd the trigger and the trigger gaurd

TheAznInvazn · May 8th, 07:03 PM

depends on what you want.

I can do any performance enhancing mod as well, just check my sig

Hayden_Campbell · May 8th, 08:13 PM

okay, well what should i do for the trigger to shorten the pull
also is there a way to make the bolt better without buying a new one

TheAznInvazn · May 9th, 12:22 AM

There isn't much, it's a mech

You could get an electro frame though, but you don't need one of those yet

Hayden_Campbell · May 10th, 12:08 AM

okay, yea, thanks i got it this morning and got sum paint for it, and got the tank filled, im looking into a barrel, at the shop i went to they had a two part for 34 bucks, im thinking of getting that, then get a box of the paint that the guy at the shop said would work best for my barrel and gun

TheAznInvazn · May 10th, 07:29 PM

What two piece barrel might that be?

If anything, just get a J&J Ceramic barrel, it's probably the most barrel you want for the Sonix

Hayden_Campbell · May 10th, 09:11 PM

yea, um i didn't get the name but i believe that it was a redz with spyder threading
on another note i went and shot some balls today, i mean i was pretty low on dough so i bought a 500 pack of monster balls, they did do good till after i started shooting faster than the balls were going down, the whole gun got gooped up, to the point it turned more into a paintball shotgun than a paintball gun, umm is there a way that i can make the moster balls more reliable?

Hayden_Campbell · May 10th, 09:11 PM

or do you think it was just the hopper?

TheAznInvazn · May 10th, 09:13 PM

you probably didn't screw in the tank far enough, you need so screw it in all the way

Hayden_Campbell · May 10th, 09:28 PM

the CO2 tank? oh how did that efect it was it like not bring the bolt all the way back, also do u know a mod to shorten the pull on the trigger

TheAznInvazn · May 10th, 09:33 PM

If you dont screw in the tank all the way, the valve-pin doesn't open up completely, so you get restricted flow.

And for a mechanical grip, I do not know of any mods thta will work.
