- Smart Parts ion shooting video that is ripping with a Firebolt, black heart board, CP regulator, Redz ASA and Rail combo, and matching Redz Feedneck.
This came in without a barrel, but I put on my insert back Stella with .689 front.
The D3Fy level 1 Paint that came in Orange/Orange fill is shooting very well for the price.
This was shooing 280 FPS at 140 PSI.
Stock body, breach, and frame. I believe the exo frame is a Warrior body.
Over my years I had a stock one, a dynasty one,a SP-8, an epiphany, a vibe, a SP-1.
Such an iconic marker. I’m sure I could put together a couple from parts around my office. 😂
Man......I remember when everyone was using those. Looks like you made a good gun great 👍🏾.
Cheap with eyes and good on air… It was revolutionary for the time.
Thank you :)
How do they stack against modern guns similar price range ?
An ion? A pain in the butt to work on but once you get used to it it’s not bad. Someone on the FB group made new armatures so that’s not an issue any more. I would rather have an og axe or gtek though.
Miss mine. Good to see people still using it.
ION love is alive and well.
Yes I’m stoked you’re back!!!
Trying 🤣
the Legend, i miss mine...the honda civic ofpaintball when it came out....had soo much upgrades i had 2 ions at the end hahaha
That’s was the thing to do at that time 😊
I spent too much on my Ion. Ramp board the whole nine's. Favorite was my stripper grips lol.
Sounds like its time to build a new one :)
I still have mine. The only thing I'm worried about is the solenoid since I haven't used it for years. I was thinking about busting it to check it and maybe do a couple of mods. Maybe Dremel out the stock cover to make the bolt accessible out the back.
The armature in the solenoid is the part that goes bad. Those can be replaced. If you make a semi bolt out back body you have to also modify your frame so you can unscrew the air fitting as well as the rear frame screw, then you have to unscrew the can from the firing chamber. Almost not worth it. Once you get maintenance down, it’s not that bad to just drop the frame and work on it that way.
@@RepairPaintball I heard that even the replacement armatures were leaking. Is there a way to get a good one still?
New old stock is still old. OG smart parts armatures are all old at this point haha. I have not heard anything bad about the new ones though.
@@RepairPaintball Makes sense. So as far as you're aware, buying a "New old stock" armature is still a safe purchase?
@Spladoinkal it’s a gamble with new old stock. Stored correctly they will work. Stored improperly they will just crumble.
There is a guy on the FB groups selling new ones he made himself.
Insane
A complete time capsule.
i have an original redz international limited edition green ion, got it and shot 50 balls with it and never used it since. probably 15 year ago. I dont recall when they came out
Wow that’s awesome. I love collectors items.
man back in the day when the tippman phenom i think its called came out i was running a spyder clone called a ER3 i believe having fun in woods paintball. well these dudes 3 of them showed up with the phenom was chopping us out the brush and not letting up lighting us up with many many balls. me and my friend who i worked for at the time drove 3 hours to STL to a paintball store i dont remember the name he got a like a ego9 or something like that they had this used smart parts ion in there i bought it up bought the best cp reg for it a auto feeder and i the next weekend me and by bud fucked those dudes up and we did not let up either we got payback for all the other cheap gun users like we were ray still tells the story to this day of the first time i let her rip for payback and he said i was laughing like a maniac ( i emptied the whole hopper on those dudes lol) man great times when we leveled the playing field out those dudes never came back. we had a good thing going too just a bunch of people kids old guys in turkey camo or ghillie suits lol (a old vet would play sometimes only dude i never got a kill on and the only dude that always got me sneaky fuckin bastard) we had a dude that worked for the local municipality and brought those smoke bombs they would use for pipe leaks those things will lay some cover not those fake bs ones you buy
Do you have any links for the parts used in this video? I'm trying to restore my ion
No online retailer is going to have new parts for Ions any more. FB BST groups and ebay are your best bet.
Just found an ion for 11 bucks!
Wow. That’s a steal.
How much do you want for this?
Customers build that i fixed up. Fantastic shooter.
Man that's a dang good looking gun, if you don't mind me asking..with everything that you've done to that gun..how much did it run total to get it like that?
He collected all the parts. I just put it all together. Just my normal service fee
Man I'm actually in the process on getting everything together for a rebuild, I may get in touch once everything come in if you wouldn't mind?
Absolutely. Find me on Instagram or Facebook and shoot me a message.
