I'd hold off on the RT, any tournament sanctioned by the NPPL, NWTS and probably alot of other tourney circuits not are banning them, but have banned them, I'd save up and buy the electro kit. JandJ makes a good barrel, and in the 98 that'll be your first upgrade because the stock barrel is a POS. A ricochet may be a little out of your price range, and it'd look kinda silly on the 98 anyway (in my opinion). If I were you, I'd get a 12volt revolution with Xboard they're about $60, and you need one of these before you go doing a bunch of trigger upgrading, because you'll outshoot a standard hopper and chop balls so one of these should go before the trigger on your priority list. The double trigger is nice with the electro and RT kits, but unless you have them it really doesn't make much difference, so you could upgrade that when you upgrade to RT or whatever.

: I can vouch for the JandJ ceramic. Great barrel. I would recommend the barrel first. Accuracy of speed is my opinion. What's the point of that much fire power if you can't hittricycle? Next get the better loader system. I would recommend a Viewloader or Ricochet. I use a halo, but I think it may be a little much for the tippman. As for the RT, something to think about. RT's are being banned in some tourney events. Double trigger is all a matter of taste there. Remember, everything I have said is an opinion. Some hate double triggers, some love RTs. Some don't like the Ceramic barrel and might recommend a Mach 404 loader. It is all a matter of taste. The best thing I can recommend is to try everything you can. Form your own opinions, play with the gun and see what you don't like and try to find some upgrades to fix the problems. This is YOUR gun, make it YOUR gun.
