  23. Froggy
    Date: Sun, May 15 2011 18:16:07

    @YETI Not sure about the barrel.. but those are pretty thick too (like CT thickness if not slightly thicker) and AFAIK these are pretty rare too? PrinceXD

    Date: Tue, Jun 21 2011 04:58:52

    @peninja its strat1227... and why should it be approved. theres a lot of other tuts out there that havent been approved. just cuz you want it approved, doesnt mean you should notify all of the mods. tek's yelo mod hasnt been approved, but the tut is much cleaner than this. why should this be approved?

    wad highlighter? i have not subbed my rikota so i do not know any subs.the main thing is that the st must be able to fit onto the body.

    g3 caps are too short and too tight on the back of the supertip barrel, and i dont want to use dr grip as i like the concept of a gripless dc mod (well at the front anyways) but thanks for replying, i appreciate it

    @mapjay Nice looking mod. I wanna make it. However earlier on you said the ZT Tips should be optional. So how would you go about making it without the ZT tips? EDIT: I'm also interested in the Supertip body version. Can you tell me how to go about making it too? xD Plenty Thanks~

  51. mapjay
    Date: Fri, Nov 18 2011 16:29:24

    @TruePSer- just dun screw the zt tips onto the signo. supertip version?

  52. Days
    Date: Sat, Nov 19 2011 04:32:16

    @mapjay So the signo tips and fit into the ST pieces? And by the Supertip version I mean using a supertip body instead of a rikota body? xD

  53. mapjay
    Date: Sat, Nov 19 2011 04:36:00

    @TruePSer- yeah they fit.i have not made a st version yet.u can try to figure out something.the main thing is attaching the st sections onto the main body

    just fyi you can make a supertip one what you have to do is cut off the end of the super tip "tip" then round it off so it's cleanand use bic round stic to hold the 2 ends together and done supertip version and it's not half bad considering idk where to get those highlighters from where i live

    uses signo broad caps that may break
    I dont think so, i got plenty of mod with broad caps, none broke yet, if it hits a surface that hard theres other parts to break first. I like Broad caps on the ends, ur tut is clearly telling how to do it, gj!

    any body would work. as long as supertips fit onto the body it's all good. the main reason i used rikota is because they're cheap and u can put inserts XD
