I am thinking of getting another gun which is either going to be a Spyder AMG or a Raven Nexion or an EM1. I dont know which one to get. If you have had any experience with any of these guns let me know. I am cosidering the t-board, AKA tornado valve,and an AKA lightning bolt as upgrades.

the AMG is NIIIICE. I had one for a while, until a defective tank put a hole in the body
. The nice thing about Spyders is that there are so many upgrades for them...you can do anything you want. Definitely put in a 50gram switch and a new trigger. I had that on my AMG, and all I had to do to fire it was tap on the SIDE of the trigger. It was awesome. I still wish I had it...

I would say Raven Nexion.
The Spyder AMG is a pain with the foregrip. You cant put a reg on it without a adapter, and with it... it just kills the whole AMG sexiness. And the EM1... crappy, ugly, slow... Nexion cost alot for a blowback but it'll be easier for you to upgrade then the AMG.

haha. About the foregrip is true. If you like Spyders, theyre all pretty much the same. You might want to look into something like an Esprit. Even more upgradeable than the AMG, and you can get it for $75 used. It doesnt come stock with a reg, but you'll end up replacing that anyway, right? Sorry, im partial to Spyders. Ive had 3 spyders and 2 mags.Comment

I bought a Nexion because it had alot of the upgrades i was gonna buy anyways. I think its a great gun but i have been slowly buying parts to convert it into a Timmy (Spimmy)

I have heard of the spyder timmy conversions and have looked them up on pbnation. They say u can get all of the parts for $200-300. I would like to try it. Honestly i could just buy a cheap spyder then timmy parts and have a spimmy for around $350. The question is where do u find the timmy frames?Comment

Heres some of the sites that i have been buying from. Bradys Paintball has the most complete frame.

I say go with an 04 Imagine. It'll only run you about $120 new & comes with the electric frame. Also looks nicer than the AMG due to the new modeling & it's cheaper than all three you listed. It doesn't make sense to start out with any of the other ones because you say you're going to replace all the internals anyway.MY TRADER FEEDBACK (<--- click here)

From what I hear, "The One" kit for the spyder will giv eyou some bang for the buck -- that's the "timmy like" kit you were talking about.

No, I don't think it was what he was talking about. The Timmy conversion is geat. It converts your Spyder into a Timmy. Since the Spyder has the exact same interior deminsions as the Timmy you'll get the the same performance for alot less. i did the converison about 6 months ago and it was great. It's actually a pretty easy converison once you get all of the parts. I wish I didn't sell it, I'll try to dig up some pictures on my PC of it.Originally posted by rkjunior303Comment

YES! Pics, please. If you or anyone has internal pics please post. I am a few parts shy of my conversion to Timmy and i would like to see how its all suppossed to fit in the frame.Comment
-
Yes please post ur pics. I have a question about the conversion. What parts of the gun still use spyder parts (bolts, valves, etc.) and would the gun still have spyder threads or autococker threads?Comment

Get the AMG...nothing but good came from it....my first gun but where do you get the upgrades such as internals, triggers, frames, microswitches...etc..

its called "the one" conversion. It converts the striker and valve (the lower tube) into an electro-pneumatic firing system. I forget how much it costs. You can't use it on the AMG, though, because the dimensions are different. All the other Spyders are eligable though. It really doesnt increase performance at all, its just an upgrade to brag about. Check out the forums on kingmanusa.com for more info.Comment

As of now the em1 is out. It's now down to the AMG, Raven Nexion, and a Spyder ~ Timmy conversion. If u have any more information pleas let me know. Also list any more upgrades u find or know of.
