    Freeflow MechTrix - anybody know what it is?

    Saw this on Freeflow’s website. Safe to say it’s some kind of mechanical spool, does anybody know any details?

    A collab with Dye to bring a mech M3 or DSR (maybe both?) seems logical given their close ties with the pneumatics and Reflex.

    Maybe there will be some more info next month at Extravaganza.

      Yay, a mech Matrix. We've come full circle from 2000.

      Did the Wachowski sisters predict the future?
      And God turned to Gabriel and said: “I shall create a land called Canada of outstanding natural beauty, with majestic mountains soaring with eagles, sparkling lakes abundant with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, and rivers stocked with salmon. I shall make the land rich in oil so the inhabitants prosper and call them Canadians, and they shall be praised as the friendliest of all people.”

      “But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Is this not too generous to these Canadians?”

      And God replied, “Just wait and see the neighbors I shall inflict upon them."

        No, then they would have avoided making the fourth movie

      Im more curious bout the ghost.. only due to the release date being 2 days prior to my birthday. Im not one to spend ff coin on markers, but I may do something for a birthday marker depending on what that is.

        Me too, but if its a play on words. It seems like a nelson based pump like a phantom? Phantom to ghost seems like a natural transition.

        I can guarantee it is not a nelson based pump for sure.

        The mech DSR is most definitely happening, so I suspect a FF-specific mech DSR.

            Probably this. Most likely a private label DSR+ with a mech frame.

            I'm about it at this point. The DSR+ mech frame looks pretty rough (cosmetically) so if FF can make it pretty I'm a buyer.

              Do you have pictures of the DSR mech frame?

              They have not been released by dye. Only in testing. They had some on the fields at cup.

            I hope they mill a big old school Freeflow logo on the side, just like they did on the Freeflow DM3 back in the day.

              That would be fantastic..... But I'm betting it will be a ripper/twister knock off

              idk, I think FF has done a pretty good job with making their own style on their new designs like the Caliber and Clutch. Depends on how big the body blank they give them is I guess.

            My first thought is the DSR+ with mech frame and probably different milling and small changes. Although, that's not really a matrix if you consider it. It can't be a collaboration with the Paragon based marker because that probably won't be unveiled until World Cup.

              Dye bought the patent from Lurker last year. Check out this link!

                My immediate thought for the MechTrix was the Omega before it became the Matrix.

                  More insight is a DSR+ with a Matrix style-body (could be basic-cylinder DM3 or the curve swoop look of the DM’s that follows).

                  In the video link below (about 17:25 in), Billy mentions sharing the anticipated mech frame with Freeflow.

                  https://m.facebook.com/DyePaintball/...2840849704474/

                  The valve on the anticipated DSR+ mech frame looks to be something new, described as a spool with a poppet.
