Egos

[Parksy]

Never had a problem with any of the teams dozen or so

Apart from the normal replace the detents.

Not had one o-ring need replaced all year in any of the markers. Just lube the rammer, and grease the lpr and front reg every once and a while and your good to go for another 3-4 boxes of paint

Also owned most markers. The ego is very light, reliable, maintanance friendly, and fast, all backed up by Planets customer service... what more can you want...

The few updates they have done (bolt/grips) were done very early on and FOC to fix some teething troubles... something other companys have charged for in the past, or just denied there were issues...

DMs are probably about the same height as an angel

Greatest thing about matrix's is there spool valve design eliminates kick, the fuse bolts on the DM4/5s arnt particularly gas hungry either - on old matrix's, bolt kits were almost a compulsory upgrade, now they do just as many shots as a timmy (1200ish)

They just screw in the back and let rip for 12,000 shots before plunking it out and whacking grease over it.

Try one next event....

You might want to wait till after CC.

Some "marker tart's" might get a new one, and sell off their old ones....just a thought!

 

[Lovetone]

hadnt thought of that

however i dont think anyone is going to have a rush of blood to the head and start selling them for like £400 after CC...I hope ! and if they did someone would probably be faster off the mark than me

 

[garycarrot]

No, but you might find a few people buy new xsv, etc and then sell off the "normal" ego.......

So there should be a few more available secondhand.
