Shocker RSX Breakdown

[Cdn_Cuda]

Jimmydee let me manhandle his bright pink Shocker, so time for another breakdown thread!

So here is Jimmy’s RSX Shocker:

First we’ll remove the bolt. Just a press on the bottom on the back of the marker and the bolt assembly slides smoothly out.

Pressing the button:

Then we go to the integrated HPR:

First use an large Allan key to remove the bottom of the reg:



And the tap the bottom of the reg lightly and more fun bits fall out!



And the you need to use a 1/4 Allan key to remove this next piece:


This piece has an internal oring as well:



And here is the full reg assembly laid out:

Going back to the body now, I removed the two trigger frame screws. I did not fully separate the frame though as you need to remove the wiring harness on the board, which is a bit annoying, and I didn’t want to damage Jimmy’s pretty pink paint plinker.



Popping the wires was doable, but annoying due to board placement and not the most friendly. The wires are fairly short as well, so not like many of the mid-2000 electros though often had longer wiring, at least allowing the trigger frame to have some separation, much more than the Shocker.

And finally, let’s check out the eye covers and ball detents:



The ball detents were quite surprising to me. They are hinged “fingers” built into the eye cover. A bit hard to get a decent photo of;

She done me dirty! Airs up , no leaks. First shot is great then it craps the bend and stuffs balls down the barrel. Switch to bigger insert I can blow through, no change. Does it with Rotor and hand feeding. Will adjust the bolt speed and see if that helps.

Fixed! Added info below.

RSX is definitely light! Only thing it’s missing is a couple grip screws, but this tips the scale at 1 pound 11 ounces with a barrel and battery.

Nice job on the marker!

Pink will look good on ya Jimmydee

Looks like my bolt speed was set way too low. I adjusted the screw I the trigger frame towards the front of the trigger guard. Clockwise reduces speed, counter-clockwise increases speed. I backed it all the way out and looks to shoot nicely now.

Does anyone know if the RSX bolt is compatible with XLS? I know the can is different.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Two things to note:
1) apparently the blue can has been recalled and there is a gold can replacement.
2) shooting video: https://www.reddit.com/r/paintball/s/oGwytB66EZ

Update: East Coast Paintball had the gold can in stock, so I ordered a pair to replace the faulty part. Shocker/GoG would never even return an email to me about replacing the recalled part, even after I said I didn't mind paying for it. It was under $20 at least, and if anyone runs into the same issue I have a spare.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Finally got the part in the mail. Was hoping it would be an easy drop in, but not looking like it’s the case. Replaced the blue firing cans with the new gold, added some grease and reassembled and it leaks like a freakin’ sieve. Going to have to trouble shooting some issues. Bolt does not even cycle when trigger is pulled.

After banging my head against the wall, I watched the Shocker installation video and notice piece on the blue can I didn’t see before.



Put it in the assembly and no more leaks!
