Shocker rsx

[TacSpn5]

Thinking about picking one up to use as a 2nd marker/backup to my xts. Any big problems I should know about besides the recall? Other questions: is the mech frame easy to find for it? What’s the most I should pay for one? How is it compared to something like a syx 1.5? Thanks guys! Hope everyone is having a great Saturday !

lemme start by saying my rsx is still probably my favorite "mech".

They are just essentially a nice tooless ion engine, but that being said. they shoot well.

I broke 3 screens pressing the on off button and eventually found a mech frame for mine. When the screen breaks, I';m talking the plactic protective bit. the top part of it wraps arouns a screw, and is the back bone support for the power button. Eventually I'd blow that out. I LOVE the mech frame.

I have no clue what they are worth, I wouldnt pay more than 220 for one. I'm still hoping to pick up a dust black one from someone one day. I have custom accents hoarded just to use with one.

Damn, that sucks about the screens and how fragile they are. Maybe wouldn’t be a good backup electric then. It could be a 2nd mech to my gog enmey but I haven’t seen them that low in pricing to justify it.

Cdn_Cuda mine?

RSX mech frames are impossible to find - at lest when I was looking. The AMP is not much more and much easier to find a mech frame. I did not like the extra air that is wasted at the end of the RSX shot, you can hear it puking air. Of the RSX AMP and ERA, I kept the AMP.

I had a CVO frame on an XLS (same as RSX but slightly bigger, feels great in the hands and I definitely recommend), and its probably the best feeling trigger out there. Not the most efficient, but I really liked it, as I've been into Ions since their release, and this is basically the most advanced version of a mechanical Ion.

Agreed, CVO is the best shooting stock mech I’ve had. I liked my regular one so much that I had an adrenaline CVO for a while and it RIPPED. Unfortunately I used it in the winter, broke a bunch of paint, got frustrated and sold it.

I played with an RSX as my main shooter for years. Stock, electro… the only thing I can really say is it’s a battery hog, but beyond that, I loved everything about it.

It never gave me any issues, felt great in hand, and I think they look really sleek too. I only sold it because I got bored after years of using it…

I held an AMP, and I’ve never been one to notice “balance,” before this point, but everything about the AMP felt horrible.


I’ve owned and the SFT, NXT, RSX, and Adrenaline CVO (and it’s electro counterpart, that now escapes me.) and the RSX was by far my favorite.

I don’t know anything about the mech frame, however… best of luck though! They’re great little shooters.

One thing that was kind of a bummer for me when I had the xls/cvo combo was that the frame change, specifically the routing of the eye wires, seemed kind of janky and was a pain in the ass. If you’re used to working on older guns, it’s not any worse than you’re used to. But compared to a lot of the new ones it’s annoying.

[Riot]

This was definitely my experience on the xls/cvo. It made it not worth it at the field.

[The Hobbit]

To be fair the xls wasn’t designed with swapping between mech and electro. The xls was out prior to the modern mech happenings if I remember correctly.

How similar are the RSX internals to the XLS/CVO? I noticed that it's possible to buy spare bolts for the RSX but good luck finding one for the XLS

[latches109]

CVO/XLS are the same. RSX is different. They function The same

Era vs amp vs gamma

I've seen conflicting info online about XLS/RSX bolt compatibility. Some places I've read that it's the can that is the big differentiator. There is actually a recent post on PBN saying they are interchangeable...are they conclusively incompatible?
