Start your Quest by using premium paint. $60-80 a case. Most players spend large amounts of money on hardware first and then discover that paint quality is the key to accuracy. Don't go there. All the barrels, bolts, hardware gizmos can't make a ball fly straight the milisecond it leaves the barrel tip. If it ain't ROUND, it immediately starts to tumble and change the trajectory in random directions from ball to ball. EVEN the GOOD paint isn't round but it is a whole lot rounder than the cheap stuff..... Just take your barrel off, put a ball in, and hold it up to the light. See the Gaps? Now compare several different priced brands and do the same... My boys both have spyders. One is a 12 year old Spyder Classic. Completely stock with a revy and Nitro tank. Including a Stock Barrel. The other boy went whole hog. Custom body with LP and everything in it including a All American two stage barrel. Very simular to a Boomstick. You have to bench rest them and pattern ball groups to measure the difference in accuracy when they are using the same paint. Just holding them and firing, you can't see the difference between the two.
