    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.

      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.

              From Lurker? This is still alive?

                It's very much still alive. 😉

              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.
