timmy questions

[smalltimeganster]

just a few questions:
what is the best air set up to use?
what barrel thread does it take?
are there many techs in the uk for them?
thanks

Air wise I don't know...I just use a screw in preset.

Cocker threads.

Not too many techs...just dont fiddle with it and you should be okay.

In my opinion the best tank to use on a timmy is a 450psi output crossfire tank.

They are the dogs danglies.

As above and....

I'd probably recommend preset as well, keep the weight down but also make sure that you get a compact drop/asa with a on and off on it.

There's not that many techs out there, but there are a few. Nicky T at planet is Timmeh trained now and planet do stock some parts so they should be good for tech work. Also I think Phoenix still do teching for intimidators, get in touch with them and ask. Ditto for NPS Europe, I'm almost sure they would offer tech support but it's best to ask.

With all the Timmy adopters over here (well done Simon) i wouldn't be surprised if a lot more Timmy techs start cropping up. Previously there wasn't the need for them, but as there are more gats in the country the need for servicing will increase. For the time being, stick to established companies, as above.

do people consider preset air set up is better than say a max flow or angel air, or is it just a cheaper way of doing it?

Better.

I could put anything on my timmys.

I would choose a preset 450psi output 4500psi crossfire tank over anything else right now.

They recharge and perform better, and are lighter, and need little to NO maintenance to keep them working great.

Just make sure you get a decent on/off ASA to go with it.

They may be cheaper, but they are also far better in my opinion.

manike: is there a timmy tech course???? how would i go about getting on one? or would i have to work for one of the distributers?

jahlad, if you figured out how to time an autococker, you can figure out an Intimidator. I support the idea of certifying people I guess, but Timmies are sooo easy to figure out.

 

[Raxxman]

I concour. Timmies are easy to work on... But I'd also say don't tinker with it unless you're prepared to face up to the horrific mistake you just made

But yeah, I rebuilt my timmy from the ground up and it still works.. well it would if the cupseal and ram sleve weren't fubar... but thats anotherstory

There are some occasionally in the USA. I know Bob and Terry did one at the last Philly event.

But as noted above, timmy's are very, very easy to work on and set up.
