GOG eXTCy, am I wasting my time (and money)?

The Tippmann Stryker also uses a very similar noid. It’s on sale for $20 on one of the big online stores. I forget which one

It’s $20 at these places. Looking at it gives me pause, though. Looks like completely different construction - the noid is powered by a wire & plug, not two posts. The cap looks different, too. If someone has both a Stryker noid and a vibe/SP1/GoG noid to compare it’s with a look!

Tippmannparts.com says it’s out of stock and discontinued, as is the board. The Strykers in stock at stores are probably just unsold inventory for an abandoned marker design.

You could probably pick up a Stryker for $100 if you look hard enough. Drop the noid and the board in a GoG shell if you want a GoG shell. Probably take some minor modification to fit but it should work fine.

Here is a pic of the Raider noid. It’s a mech Stryker. If anybody is curious

Oooooooh… that’s interesting. How’s the trigger pull & efficiency? Might be a good option for replacing gen1 eNMEy valves since the HE valves are no longer made

Last time I checked it was around 1300-1400 shots. I do have a LV 6 bolt in it though. The trigger is ok but I improved greatly by replacing the trigger spring with a sear spring from a F4 Illustrator (I think? It was an old hook style spring) and sliding a soft rubber cap over the back of the trigger. I also moved the spring to the adjustment spots that you see in the picture. The spring is light to pull and creates a very snappy return.

The cap deceased the trigger pull to around 3 or 4mm. It’s good for the rocket because it’s softer than hard plastic trigger that usually pushes the rocket.
