R11 bolt

[Eric Roberts]

Ok guys here is the deal with my bolt. The bolt WILL fit the IR3 and the LCD. The grove is for the sensor in the IR3 obviously, other than that it is still the same as an LCD. The bolts are a three piece design, an aluminum insert(anodized 5 colors) Red, Black, Blue, Silver, and Gold. The delrin is avaiable in black and white, so in total there are 10 different color combinations. The pin is hardened Stainless Steel. The pin is press fitted in to lock all the pieces together, just like a stock bolt but with out the insert. Try takin the pin out of your stock bolt, it's pretty tough, so you don't need to worry about the insert coming out. Upon first testing velocity was increased 15-25 fps. Some people have said they have had higher increases, but every gun is different. This isn't a piece of §§§§, it won't break in half like other bolts made of polycarbonate and it won't swell up with the humidity like Nylon 6,6 bolts. I hope all of you have a chance to shoot one and see how it works. I think you'll like it.

[Eric Roberts]

J.Fearing,
I 'll try to help you in any way I can but I don't understand exactly what it is you want reviewed, the bolt, the gun, ...what? Hit back.

[poobrownhorse]

I think he was asking that you let him borrow your bolt, but im not sure and chances are im completely wrong and everyone will laugh at me.

Your exactly right, that is what he meant. He was asking if he could somehow get his hands on one of the bolts to do a complete review to have posted on THe AOG site.

[Emmit]

yeah it would be great to get a couple of these bolts in the loving and tender hands of a few AOG members....especially since the site says they are sold out :sad:, and I sooooooo want one for my Dark :angel:....

[Eric Roberts]

AOG,everyone,
we're about to do another run this week, but it will still be a while. As soon as they get shipped out to stores and other places I'll let you know.

[Howitzer11]

I have one of these lovely bolts. I had my lpr at just under 100, my reg screw dangling out (has suggested by Ken), and my AIR at about 550 this would give me 290-300 fps with the stock bolt. I put the R 11 in and was shooting consistently 305-310. I dropped the input down around 500 on the air (which shouldn't make a difference in a double reg system) and was at 290 on the dot. I took 10 shots 290, 289, 287, 290, 290, 286, 289, 290, 287, and 290. I am gonna try gutting the reg and go lower on the AIR input, and I will let you know what I get. The thing I noticed most was the consistency not the gain in fps. Thanks again Warped.

[Eric Roberts]

J. Fearing,
I would send you one right now but I don't have one. I have the three that are in my guns and that is it. I'll get you one as soon as I can. Honestly.

ERob,R11

[Emmit]

Hey Eric are there any plans to actually have some of these bolts available at the WS booth at Cup? I'd like to check one out, and I'm almost 100% positive I'll be picking one up...

[ganthos]

where can i get the r11 bolt? online? any links?

[n0rth sh0re hardc0re]

Very interesting, nice price.

[andronikos916]

I really want to test this bolt! i hope it performs as good as it looks!

Good luck to Avalance!:drools:

[andronikos916]

Yeah Eric, I will buy one for sure if I can find it at World Cup! ...what is 30$ when buying 1400-2000$ guns? :clap:

...although, to be 100% honest I just purchase 2 cobra bolts for my team... Sorry but warped run out of R11 bolts.


anyway good luck at WC!

[Eric Roberts]

Hey guys,

the bolts are here on my bed right now. i have to take them to the anodizer tomorrow. there will be a few booths at the cup that will have them. if you see me come up and i'll talk to you about them, also i set up a paypal account so soon i will sell them direct as well throught stores.see you all at the cup. ERob,R11,Avalanche

[Emmit]

Eric...I'm giving you fair warning right now...I want 2! Man Warped is gonna get so much of my Cup money..LOL

[Eric Roberts]

Everyone,

I just talked to one of the guys at Warped Sportz and they said they will not be putting up a booth at the cup. There will be a booth called CCM products. These guys are also with WORKS products, the ones who make the WORKS and J2 autocokers. they will be carring my bolts. Also if there is a chance and I'm not busy with playing or getting ready for a game try to find me at the Avalanche tent. I will have some there with me to sell, but otherwise I might tell you which booths you will be able to find them at.
Eric Roberts, R11

[dansim]

i belive i actuially have one of theese bolts, its white with red aluminum insert and the steel pin, unless someone else is making them i got it from cape cod

`edit` i just looked ta the pic and yes its the same one, how ever i didnt see any velocity boosts or better consistancy, i switched back and forth over the chrony ten ballas apeice and i didnt see any differnce what so ever sorry:lost:

[Eric Roberts]

you're the first person to not notice a change. what kind of bolt were you running before? you should notice a change vs. a STOCK bolt.
eric:puzzled:

[dansim]

the stock bolt , i was having some majopr chopping issues and i thought it may have been the bolt(r11) so after chroning in i switched bolts, back to the stock(remembering ken said 30+fps) and low and behold it was pretty much the same velocity+or-3, but my chopping problem was still there so it wasnt the bolts fault im thinking it my have been the new halo, after the tourney i did some test and there wasnt any change besides my velocity jumping up and down anyway between 290-275 that was with the stock bolt , and then switching to the R11, it was prtty much the same, maybe i just got a bad bolt oh well im trading it anywho

[Howitzer11]

The bolt you got at Cape Cod is not the R11 it is made by someone else. If you don't believe just ask Ken. I was there when he got those I think they were from someone fairly local. Trust me an IR3 running at the same input and lpr with just switching to the R11 it is a minimum of 10 fps gain. I got mine from Jeremy at Warped. Got a sweet deal too.

[dansim]

hmm looks exactly the same, and its the one he uses too

[acoenfam1]

I know this is just a little late for this but I've got one of these in my Dark IR3 and love it. Only got about a 15 FPS increase. I did notice a big increase in shot to shot stability though. My gun is on its way back to Warped at the moment seeing as how my C.O.P.S. sensor decided to go south on me last weekend. Just hope the bolt had nothing to do with it.

[KEN CRANE]

THE R-11 BOLTS ARE THE BALLS! ALMOST 30 FPS INCREASE ALONE.JASON I HAVE SOME IN STOCK IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN THAT BAD ASS IMPACT OF YOURS.LET ME KNOW AND A APLUS FOR THE R-11 BOLT

[Eric Roberts]

Thank you very much for the grade. Also Ken, thank you for all your help and suport over the past year with my gun and everything else.
Eric Roberts

[Emmit]

I bought a couple of these bolts at Cup, and hopefully within the next week or so I will be able to slap them in my LCD, and my IR3 and compare them to the stock bolts...

[TopCourage]

hey..where can i get an R11, i really want to get one....

[Eric Roberts]

You can order them through Warped Sportz, Performance Angel, or Angelparts.com or you can order them direct through me.
Eric Roberts
R11

[TopCourage]

alright...sweet deal..once i get my next paycheck...i think im gonna get one...thanks eric

also...just in case...does warped plan on keeping them in good stock or do u only make so many a month?
and not like it really matters....what color or type does warped sportz sell on their web site???,it doesnt give a choice...

[Eric Roberts]

you'll have to call the various warped stores. some of the stores have the same colors others have different. from here on out i will only be making black delrin with three colors to choose from for the inserts, blue, red, and silver. It's easier to fill orders and produce them fast enough to fill the demand.
Eric Roberts.R11

[TopCourage]

well...i placed my order through the warped site and in special instructions and i asked for white delrin with silver insert......but i also said i dont care...just give me whatever is in stock:evilgrin:

have you not read any of this thread???

[TopCourage]

just got my R11 Bolt....ive only put about 100 paintballs through it...and i am already impressed with it.....i noticed that it did increase velocity and it is a more light weight bolt...i am playing with it on sunday.....

[CrazyIrving]

OOOH boy!!!

Now I cant wait to get mine wish the snail mail was as fast as the internet.

Should recive it before the indoor Tournament

Crazy Irving

[customIR3...]

I have a Cobra IR3 bolt, and i was wonderin if the performance of the r11 is any better . :puzzled:

[steveo]

Eric, ya never got back to me hit me up with an email @ steveinpa99@hotmail.com I want a bolt :)

[SANO 212]

what performance differences has people found with this bolt compared to thier stock bolt?

[Emmit]

Sano

I've been using one in my IR3 and I've been getting */- 2 fps usually over the Chrono....any increase over the stock bolt I'm unsure of as I have not done any comparisons.

[NBR]

I've been using the WDP white bolt and switched to the R11... Noticed no change
Same settings
500 psi output on A.I.R
293fps +/- 3fps

I did notice the difference between stock and the WDP white bolt though... lower operating pressure.. which is no bad thing...

I will be running with the R11 though coz it feels lighter than the WDP white bolt.. so i feel it will do less internal damage, ( some Angel tech said it will wear out the ram quicker? ).

Waiting to be corrected....

Neil

[acoenfam1]

I thought I read somewhere in here that someone was going to do a side by side with the stock and Cobra?

[Emmit]

as I've said before this bolt is excellent. I bought mine at Cup, and have been shooting it since the very first game at Cup. The chrono consistancy is awesome. The R11 bolt is definitly my choice.

[apitbull]

so how bout you realease one for the LED as well. i feel an expanded market here. ill even buy offer mine as a test case

[kaPPLcD]

used teh r11 bolt today.. it was pretty good.

[Right_Attitude]

Good bolt-try one!

[Shadow Elite]

Does the Dark IR3 come with it? Seeing as I have a Dark IR3 on the way and all, I was just wondering.

[Emmit]

NO!

When you buy a Dark IR3 you will get the stock bolt. If you want the R-11 you're going to have to purchase it seperatly

[Shadow Elite]

DOH! Well, thanks for the info and quick reply!

[CpCnCir3]

i have had my white delrin/red Al r11 bolt for almost 3 weeks now. i got it at warped sportz in merillville,IN. i love this bolt soo much. i get +/- 3 over the chrono and my velocity went reasonably higher. it was at a constant 290 or so with the stock bolt and went up to 320 just by putting the r11 in. the only thing i dont like about this bolt is that the face is a bit flatter. it doesnt tend to "cup" the ball. just kinda touches the aluminum insert. it would have been nicer if the ball actually sat in it. i beleive this is less harsh on paint because of a more even distribution of bolt force on the ball. i say this because when using diablo SECONDS(paint of choice cuz $30 a case) i get a ball break a quarter way down the barrel every now and then. now it could be the r11 bolt not cupping the ball properly or it could just be the crappy stock detent or even just the bad paint. heck even a combo of all 3.

[ManwiththeGoldenGun]

What the heck is the point of having 6 color options on a freakin' bolt?

[Emmit]

more personalization????????? Although apparently they are going to stop doing all the colors, and just go with like 3. But it's something you aren't going to see, so yeah there really isn't much point to it.

[Shadow Elite]

Well, it looks like I am gonna order one. I am gonna give a call to my friend in NE and see if she can pick one up for me.

[warpedx]

If you match the color of the insert with the color of paint, it makes it more accurate. :doh:

[kaPPLcD]

How much is the price fo a r11 bolt?, Anyone know a cheap online site they can recommend.:clap:

[kaPPLcD]

wait sorry i just found out the price to be ~30.00 bucks. Sorry didnt read the earlier posts..:doh:

[Emmit]

Warped Sportz

[TNC]

By the way: In which colours are the inserts available. I've only seen black, gold and red inserts yet.

[Emmit]

If you check the Warped website, I think they said that they will only be coming in a smaller selection of colors now. I know that at Cup the only ones you could get from CCM were either the black with red, black with gold, or white with red.......

[metallica71787]

Hey Eric. I just bought bought one of Travis' guns. the pewter to black and I was wondering why he diddnt have a r11 bolt in there since they are claimed by you a member of Avalance and not used by Travis. Thanks man...

[Emmit]

perhaps he wanted to keep the bolt? perhaps not ALL members of Avalanche are using them? It seems that if you purchased someones marker instead of asking the manufacturer of an item why it didn't come on a used marker that you might want to ask the person you bought it from. I'm sure that there are multiple reasons why someone might have kept something, and since the R-11 isn't a stock item the gun didn't come with it when it was made so why wouldn't someone keep an aftermarket part for future use???? Just some beans to think about

[jreb85]

I just picked up my r11 about 2 weeks ago, and I love it. Its definitely worth the $35.

[LittleDaryl]

Hi, I was just wondering if the R11 bolt is available in Canada, and also if there is a Canadian distributor?

[Emmit]

It's available anywhere....just order it from any shop, and they'll ship it right to you. I believe that Ken Crane mentioned the other night that he had a few of them, and that they were something like $30 USD

[crashdan]

hey eric, i love my r-11 bolt, nice job man, very satisfied

[Sypher365]

Ok this is probably gonna sound stupid but here goes anyway :)

Is there anything I need to do to use my R11 with my LCD because I picked up 2 this weekend one for my angel and one for my friends when I put it in I can't close the breach on the Angel on closer examination of the bolts the pin on them is longer than my dye one not much, just under 1mm but its stopping me closing the Angel, the same happens with his.

Any ideas advice would be appreciated :)

Jon

[WarpedKid02]

Thats because you need to adjust your Ram Stroke. View the LCD Manual for instructions.

Cheers Dude

as you can tell I don't tech :), gotta learn sometime will look when I get home tonight.

[2theMaxx21]

So what's the word on how the r11 compares to the Cobra bolt? I already have a Cobra bolt, and I'm wondering if I should retire it and try the r11, but I don't really want to waste $30 if the r11 isn't much better than the Cobra bolt I already have.

[acoenfam1]

From everything I've read they are pretty much the same. Both seem to have a better "flow though" than stock and hence give some velocity increase/lower pressure operation. Consistency for both seems to be in the +/- 2 or 3 fps range.

So it comes down to what you want but I would keep your Cobra. After all if it works don't fix it.

[Panzerr]

Eric,

Two suggestions for your bolt.

1. Round the edge around the face of the bolt to help prevent facturing paintballs.

2. Add a groove for the detent.

[shaunmac]

Where can I get an R-11? Please advise....
Thanks...

[Emmit]

shaunmac......if you read the thread it will tell you where to get the R11 bolt.

ie Warped, E.Rob himself, and I think some of our sponsors have it (Ken did at one point, and Eric mentioned it recently too)

[terry]

jus got black delrin with silver insert, heavy d from warped tinley hoooked it up 2 days after i requested it, its sweeet.

[captainzonar99]

www.warpedportz.com (http://www.warpedsportz.com) that simple

[uvalaxman19]

this bolt is soooo sweet

[R.Vogel-Mo's]

www.mospaintball.com

[varok]

So I need to make some adjustments on my IR3 when I install this bolt?

[crashdan]

yes, whenever you changfe something you should always tune after

[Kriptic]

yo i bought the R11 bolt as soon as i got my dark ir3.... the gun came in, i didn't even use the stock bolt.... i threw the R11 in and it was shooting so tight!!!!!! when i chronoed it, i had my bad boy shooting at like 320 with the Angel AIR set at like 650... it was nuts, so i droped the velocity on my spiral reg and a bit on my AIR and i couldn't believe it! My buddy on a local team around my area has an Adrenalin Angel and when he shot it, he even said it's more accurate than his... and Angel guys don't admit that about their Angels you know this... hehe. so when playing, I was getting the best one ball, sweet spot elminations and snap shots like crazy.... With this R11 bolt, My Dark IR3 just blew away any gun that I've used before... Before I was using a Diablo Matrix and am selling it now as we speak so i can get another Dark IR3, R11 combo... THat's how intense it is... i will never shoot anything else.. plus warped sportz has the best customer service and are the greaest peope to work with. There's your review... The R11 bolt basically gogges any s#!##^ comments about Angels. It is THE MOST accurat gun I've used... It was sper gas efficient, and the bolt made sure that when i achieved high rates of fie, that there wasn't one ball drop due to not recharging quick enough. It is just amazing! The first day of using it (gun with bolt), i was able to snap shoot someone from my mirror that was their backmost bunker in like 2 tries. Next time uing it, I dropped like half the team of Pro team Lockout in no time, like sweet spoted 2 off the break, snapped 2 annd did crazy stuff with it. Oh dd i mention that I've yet to break a ball? and my COPS2 was off i believe. I love it, its my baby, i tuck that thing to bed with me... just get the R11 bolt! You'll understand. Thanks for making a thread i was going to make one liek... today for this bolt...

[DasBaldDog]

Alrighty...

Got the bolt... used it and started chopping like a Merf....

Thought it was the hopper so I put my Evo II on... kept chopping like a Merf...

Switched the stock bolt back in.... no chops.

Perhaps I got a bad one?

[Emmit]

Das.........did you set your Ram stroke for your new bolt???

[DasBaldDog]

No, that a problem?

[Emmit]

yep.......

in the simplest terms.....it's kinda like a Cocker that's out of time (no I know there isn't any timing in an Angel).....when it's not adjusted right it chops like crazy.....same thing here, if you don't adjust your ram stroke properly after putting a new bolt in it you may have problems......

[DasBaldDog]

Gotcha. Thanks. I'll get it adjusted today and get back to ya tonight.

[crashdan]

i completely agree with emmit, my ram stroke was completely off when i put my r-11 in, i just got redid it and wow, i havent chopped since,

[Eric Roberts]

Thanks guys for all the support, I wanted to make a bolt that would out perform any other on the market. I think succeeded. The only thing is now I work for DYE and the R11 line has dropped off. Maybe soon it will revive. And now with the release of the SPEED, the bolt looks a lot like the one I designed, kind of weird don't you think? Shows you people will steal your ideas no matter who you are and what relationship you had in the past with the company. (it was a good one, I hope it stays good too) But be careful and watch your ass.

E-Rob

[crashdan]

hey eric, i think you did... nice job

[Kriptic]

Yeah I love that bolt man, i was going to cry when i hear the yare no longer making them.... Oh well, i can always become an ebay rat and snatch them up whenever i see them.... keep it up my man... Later.
