hmm an electronic marker helps very much in speedball. i suggest getting a spyder imagine (like 100 bucks from xpaintball) and then getting that other stuff, because yeah you will need it down the line, but you can buy it later.

 

Well your list of stuff you are buying is very through. Only thing you are missing is a nice pod pack. Just buy a used one when you have $$.

Don't get the rodeo. Save up and just buy a stock ion off the internet for like $250.

 

well in speed ball u dont need a electro becuz i play with a tippy sometimes, but if u want electro a spder image fits perfectly in ur price range, id hold out on the ion and just get an imagine

 

I already have all my pods stuff taken care of. I told you I've already played for two years

Actually, I'll probably pick up a pack when I have some spare cash. For now, I have camo pants I always wear with big pockets that I can stuff pods into. Sounds weird, but I've never had any problems.

How do all the electro spyders handle chopping, if they don't have anti chop bolts or eyes? The imagine, for example.

 

yeah that would work but u slide in speedball and it doesnt work really well. i only woodsball but ive played a few speedball games and i never had a pack, i only use old tennis ball containers.

 

well with the halo b, you shouldnt chop much as long as youre using decent paint

 

Since I've decided on the Rodeo pretty much (I can use it at ANY field, it can run on CO2 if the field doesn't have HPA fills), I'm going to buy a revvy instead of the Halo B, since it's $45 cheaper, I'm not on any huge budget, and it should still be fast enough.

 

a revvy will be good. check with your field about HPA first, they should have it. make sure you buy a HP tank

 

yeah if ur using so much money make sure u have the money for a good case of paint, no cheap crap.

 

don tget the rodeo get the imagine. just becasue the rodeo is more expensive doesn tmeen its better almost all of the spyder internals are the same. and if you buy the imagine instead use the extra money to buy some timmy parts and turn your spyder into a spimmy.

 

What gun do you have now? Spyders aren't a big upgrade over any gun.. Personally if you have no gun and can't spend much I'd buy the cheapest electronic gun you can find on ebay. Piranha, Spyder, whatever.. Get quality accessories you can use down the road. HPA, Hopper, Paint harness, Goggles.

 

Just saw some Evos being sold for $134.. I've got a EXT, manaul trigger, that shoots alright. Evo should be much better.

 

the spyder rodeo is good, i have a spyder xtra for sell (pM me if you wanna talk) but ya the spyder rodeo is good, if you end up really liking speedball you can save up and buy an ion or somethign along the road but a rodeo would be a good fun for a beginner

 

imagine>rodeo go with the imagine and all the other stuff that uve said

 

!

OK, first of all.. I can get a brand new EVO for $130, so I don't know why I'd take a used one for $134 (if it's used..)

Anyway, for now I'm thinkin' the imagine is the way to go. I'll hold off on HPA until I need it, since for now I'm basically restarting my life in paintball. I used to be really into it maybe 2 or 3 years ago, took a break, now I want to get into it again.

I'll get the imagine, a revvy, a better mask, and then go to ottersccustoms and see what parts I need to make a spimmy. If anyone knows a better place showing how to make a spimmy, then please show me. Anyway, I'm gonna buy timmy parts with the extra money and start the conversion gradually.

You don't have to make a spimmy all at once do you?

And is there a place you can get a timmy body that fits a spyder? For example, is there a way to make my Imagine look similar to a Russian Legion timmy? (those things are nice looking!)

Is it just me, or is it getting harder and harder to find an imagine anymore? Maybe I'll go for the Electra, or another electro spyder. Recommendations?

Well, I found an '05 Imagine for $136.50, anyone find a cheaper one?
