Oh boy...is this the same ebolt you have had for years? I remember you from way back on the CanadianPaintball forum.

[BenoitOWN]

New project of this year so not this one
I didn’t own a tippmann 98 for years.

[BigRed]

Ok...I'll be watching. Always thought the ebolts were cool.

[Magmoormaster]

Oooooo Very nice!!

One of these days I need to get back to work on mine.

I do love a good E-Bolt project. I need to get my hybrid Ego/98 madness back together.

Option #1
Still waiting for the mail

Option #2 in picture(No modification yet from previous owner other than filling)
Need the slot widened for the board.
Need a cut for the battery wires if I do it external.
Need the switch wires soldered.
Need button for the board.

Board: Tested and work.
Solenoid: Clicks, no air in it yet.

Option 1

Option 1.

[BenoitOWN]

The one thing with option one will be dwell, if I just shoot a few Bps it gonna be alright but I was told if I was to go 8-9+ I might get blender.

[BenoitOWN]

#1 is gone

#2 is on the way.
this is surprising, there is an Etek board with a pimp solenoid.
I need more barbs ... that tight space doesn’t like my straight ones.

[BenoitOWN]

Damn the cheap grinding bits hate doing the work!
finally found something that grinds fast but can’t do smooth.

[boarder2k7]

Aluminum is too soft to grind worth a damn, it plugs up wheels like you see there. If working by hand you'll have better luck with a carbide burr and moving to a grinding wheel or file for only the finish work. You'll have less clogging issues that way.

For the aluminum the HSS should be fine. As a reference if you're doing anything more aggressive, they also make carbide versions https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dremel-Tung...ory/1000428251
