Hi.. new.

Hi everyone.. I'm err new here. Not that it's not obvious, or anything..

Ehh.. I have a Diablo Mongoose Reincarnation II LCD.. and, it's stock. I use an Egg hopper, I like it , so far. I got it a while back BUT i don't like the fact that it's stock.. EVERYTHING..

Now i have no idea what are good hop-ups/mods for it, BUT i did get a new spring kit for it, actually. So, if you guys could help me out w/ mods I'd appreciate it. Like grips, or change out the board, add eyes, ya know?

Thanks...

Don't know much about diablos. But Ions and Wraths are much better. 'Specially Ions.

Ummmmm. a z-board for your egg is nice. or buy a Halo.

But I don't know much about Mongooses.

Ohh.. Yea, I've been reading about Ions and Wraths.. they seem nice.

Is the err, AR-1 any good? Looks affordable.. comes with Beam break eyes, and some goodies.
Ar-1

I may get a new marker soon.. I'd rather stay under $400, though. I like the Mongoose, but reading around, seems like junk.

dont post links to other PB stores.

Im not shure about that, but for 400$ you can get a used angel/matrix/shocker/ion/promaster/bushy/ etc.

400$ will get you a very good gun if your willing to buy used.

400$ you could get a decently upped ion and a carbon fiber tank , or a brand new stock ion and brand new carbon fiber tank off of a site.

Awesome B)

Don't spyder parts work with Diablo Mongoose's? So I could use Dye Sticky grips for the Spyder.. new triggers for spyders, A barrel... Ehh, maybe a new drop-foward, and what not. And a z board for the egg.

If I were you I wouldn't invest much money into a Mongoose. Get a top of the line mask. Nice 4500psi air tank. Get a nice pod pack. Then think about a new marker. I'd run the egg till it breaks or makes you angry then get something better. New gun buying is a sickness I tell you!!!

qft. when you get all that then look at upgrading to a better marker such as an ion wrath or a used high end marker

If you have no problem with it, then dont buy a new gun. Just because some kids on the internet say it sucks doesn't mean it does. If you play with it, and have no problems then save your money.

Well if your reallly dedicated after a while you may find that the mongoose doesnt hold it to what you need to play to the best of your ability.

Alright.. I may get a new marker after a while, heh.. But, here comes nother noob question.

What would be another good marker? Higher-end, of course. I've owned like 4-5 paintball markers, actually. And.. my Mongoose has probably been the best yet.. (don't kill me)

*Resisting urge to kill*

High end guns...Ummm. Depends on price range your looking at.

Egos,Timmies,Shockers,Matrices,Borgs,etc.

i would say before anything to get a nice mask like mentioned before.. dont skimp out when it comes ot the mask, because that's your protection and it should be comfortable and non obstructiong to you... if you already have one, get an HPA tank, it doesnt matter what kind, just try and get an HPA tank, any size you want. then i'd try and look for a different gun, something a little better that you could work on and have some fun with... keep your diablo stock for now and just save up the money for your next gun

Well if your willing to take care of one, an Autococker could be a nice step up from that mongoose. They require some attention, but they are good High-End guns.
