Thanks Nicky - so leave everything as default and just play? :)
Then after a few months 'tune' the marker for better consistency? Sounds like a plan to me :)
I'm not a tinkerer - just like smoothness and consistency - 12bps is fine for me :)
No problem - leave everything as default and enjoy playing with your new marker.

A big benefit of the DART Kit is the ability to alter the "feel" of your marker. If you don't learn how your marker feel initially then how will you know what you like or dislike? ;)

From what was said on PBNation

I just installed the DART kit in my Fluffy Bunnies VEGO 11. Prior to beginning the install I put the gun back to stock with all the factory stock settings (board settings, dwell, LPR, HPR, etc. - adjusted to factory stock per recommendations in Ego manual).

I then put a hopper of reballs through the gun and I was averaging about 275 fps.

I then installed the DART kit and left all of the settings stock. The install went smoothly and was pretty painless. No leaks when I was finished, so that was a good thing.

I then shot a hopper of reballs through the gun. I used the same reballs, same barrel, same chrono, same weather conditions (indoors), etc. and I found that the fps jumped dramatically. I was shooting about 275 fps prior to the install and was shooting about 325 fps after the install. Absolutely everything was the same, except the DART kit.

The gun felt very smooth and the sound signature was a bit quieter. Not super quiet, but it was an improvement.

After adjusting the HPR down to reach 285 fps, I found that it was extremely consistent over the chrono. Definitely more consistent than it was prior to the install of the DART.

All in all I am impressed with the kit. I want to thank PE for continuing to research and find improvements to an already existing gun, instead of slapping it all in a new gun and forcing me to buy a newer model to get all the latest upgrades (and spend a lot more than $95 in the process).

If you have an Ego 11, and spending $95 won't require you to eat ramen noodles for a month, then I 100% recommend you get this kit.

Sorry, no video. I tried to get one using my iPhone, but the quality was horrible and you really couldn't tell what was going on. I guess I am not going to make it in hollywood as a camera man.

Fingers crossed my EGO11 and DART kit will be here by the weekend. I'll chrono it before and after...
That would be interesting to see the difference between a brand new 11 as standard and then with the dart kit fitted.
