HPA Building for the newbie Help

Tech Talk
1

I was considering building a HPA setup

after researching Polestar Jack and the F2 was considering the Jack as I don’t do milsims or anything fancy

my question as there is very few videos I can find with a comprehensive build

what parts are needed …the Jack comes with parts
but I assume I need the trigger switch battery ecu etc ?
any way just wondering if there is a list of parts you need that some one can answer if you went out to do a hpa for the first time starting with the Polestar Jack as the engine

I no a shop could answer this but I will feel compelled to spend a shit ton of dollars if I walk into a shop and ask :[

any help appreciated

I don’t do HPA… I live in a deep enough money pit with AEGs lol… but I am told you need…

Tank, line and regulator…
The engine you choose will need an fcu. Which are run on 7v, but the battery can be very small as it only powers the magazine and fcu.

Need to glue a rubber tip on the engines nozzle to suit you tpiece.

You also need to wire the mag terminals… not sure how that is done as I don’t do HPA.

I’ve been looking into it as well as I’m kind of getting sick of my aeg hk fucking up in so many different ways. Asked Tim the owner of my local field urban gelball what the go is with hpa. basically high entry cost and setup, but “relatively” simple upkeep and use (as long as it is maintained properly). I definitely recommend getting down to your local field or retailer of gel components and ask what they think and what the best way to get into hpa will be for you.

TBH if I end up going hpa I’m going to go kythera because of the trigger as well as my local field only uses semi.

Sort of…
I mean there is always people with HPA leaving the hobby and selling the lot for less, it’s not new of course but likely could only do with a service and maybe some o-rings.

I have a couple mates with them and the first is the most expensive… converting a second blaster you can share the tank reg and line.

yes sort of figured it out now about 1500 to set up with new parts using a blaster and gearbox you have so getting there
there is 2nd hand but have to be willing to wait for the right deal not allot out there at the moment will probably save some more and go new

and thanks for all the input appreciate it
