what heftylefty said is true, and its also a creative way to sucker people into thinking that its a really good chip, it really only detects 66.6 pulls per second, the was board detects a million pulls per second, this means that you can get more registered shots with the was board than the sob board, alot of people say "well no one can pull 66 a sec anyone so it still should be super fast", it still will be pretty fast, but the board won't catch all your pulls so it will not the fastest. shocktech uses the same marketing scheme with the shocktech bushmasters, the 66.6 bps board is really a suped up stock board which isn't as good as the chaos board which is practically the was board of bushmasters, can catch a million pulls a sec

So what your saying is that it's not worth the $1600 price tag?

Why does this man even post here? Hey, I don't own an AGD product either, but I sure as hell don't go around bashing em all the time.

Hell no. Lasoya is the same thing cept for the bolt, feedneck and clamshell. From the $1200 to the $1600, is there room for those items to be purchased? And then some.

It doesn't even come with a WAS board? Man, that's a joke if it doesn't.

I don't either, but I still like posting here. Don't know why people feel the need to bash any gun really. Whole nother discussion there though.

*Edit* Didn't see the post about the same as a Lasoya.

[Crazy]

just pointing out the fact that agd does it also...I thought it was kind of stupid that you talk bad about other companys, when the one that this forum does it also and that gets overlooked?

I dont think he was bashing anything to be honest, just stating a fact, all companys do it, not just a select few.

Oh, but I didn't. Read the little tidbit I put under the list. It doesn't make any of them bad companies, just a good way to earn money off of the people who are willing to pay.

Alright,

I am currently in the process of buying a Timmy... on the first of the month.

I am getting a Lasoya with these add-ons:

Kapp Thumper Ram (which nearly eliminates all kick), a Bob Long Volumizer (LP), a Bob Long Hyrda Bolt (supposedly really nice, don't know much about, but heard good things with efficiency, weight and other stuff) and a few extra parts like O-rings, Dow 55 Lube and Adjustable Cap (which helps line the bolt perfectly with feed tube). The total rig is going to cost me $1345-1375. I got my info at www.intimidator-owners.com so don't complain to me if I am wrong!

The shocktech really isn't "all that," but does have some nice milling and has some shocktech parts inside. I think the Shocktech Timmy uses a WAS board, but shocktech advertises the "Trigger Check Frequency" of the WAS board which is 66.6 (millions times per second). What? You can't shoot that fast? The actual WAS board is capable of firing >35bps and Wicked Air Sports doesn't really state anything faster than that on their website. The 66.6 could just be coincidence, or just for Shocktech, Wicked Air Sports cranked the WAS board to make it seem special. The shocktech name gives you that whopping price tag of $1599 IMHO.

The Species just has nifty milling but lacks an LCD screen (which reduces weight). The Non-LCD clamshell IMO is kinda lame cuz I want a dang LCD screen. The non-lcd clamshell grip is pretty much the same, but it is milled to fit the "Alien" motif and comes with 32 Degree grips instead of stock Lasoya style grips. To remedy any LCD problems you can just get Equalink from Wicked Air Sports and setup your gun via computer (really cool option but 50 bones for cable). The species is at Actionv.com for $1495 (what a joke). I found it online at a wholesaler for $1405, but you have to be a "member" to their club and it sounds like a rip-off to me.

Well, enough said.

[No sKiLLz]

Species is a better designed Intimidator. But for someone who NEEDS and LCD I guess that's a problem.

[Trauma]

I think the shocktech timmy is for the people that like looks over performance and they are willing to pay so much, you know like personal preference. some people really like the milling on it so they buy it, the board is decent but its defiently not a WAS. but for the price I would get a lasoya timmy no question

funny thing is that they better think about lowering their price when the new designed intimidator comes out after philly or else their sales are gonna go down big time

[Twon]

I agree on that. My Captain/Team owner/Field owner bought one just for the heck of having the most expensive Intimidator out there. Sure, it's friggin' fast! But you could get a GZ Timmy and buy some goodies to make it as good for less.

species is not better. all they did was make the bolt "enclosed" which just makes it harder to get to the bolt(you need a special tool to open it)

i like the gz the most or maybe a 2k2 its simple milling with everything you need(besides a was board)

Yep. That must be it. That's the only difference. I don't know what I was thinking. You're totally right and I will go and get a GZ right now because there is no reason to get anything else.

Wow! Thats alot for a solenoid driven Spyder!
