"Eclipse EGO11 Dart KitEgo11 DART Kit

The Ego11 DART kit is a full drop-in Valve Guide, Exhaust Valve and Bolt kit designed exclusively for the Ego11.

Designed to improve every facet of the Ego11's feel and performance the DART kit increases efficiency and reduces sound signature and felt recoil as well being more gentle on paint in both the loading and the firing actions.

The DART kit enables the Ego11 to operate at consistently lower HPR and LPR pressures than has previously been possible on any Ego, but at the same time offers superior velocity consistency and efficiency.

So how did we achieve this?

DART Bolt - The Ego11 DART Bolt incorporates the latest Cure4 cushioned tip design as seen on the CSL.

In addition to the Cure4 design there are now 2 seals on the body of the bolt, one either side of the transfer port. Rather than use the traditional method of stretched, incorrectly sized o-rings as the seals, the DART bolt utilizes a floating seal design. These floating seals match the internal bore of the breech to create a perfect seal, yet allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the bolt body to occur without worry of increasing frictional drag in the bolt system or loss of effective seal. The floating seals provide the optimum compromise between reliability and efficiency. They will operate with next-to-no lubrication in even the harshest conditions without any negative effects to efficiency or consistency.

Finally the new DART Bolt is fitted with a weighted insert. The small increase in mass that this insert brings to the bolt system enables the Ego11 to cycle with a lower LPR pressure at lower cyclic speeds yet still retain enough inertia to pop the exhaust valve open and overcome blowback forces during the firing phase.

DART Valve System - The Ego11 DART Valve Assembly combines an improved flow path with refined dynamics that result in significant gains in efficiency. The new design forces the valve to close off more quickly after opening, reducing air wastage after the ball has reached velocity.

The Ego11 DART Kit is designed to be used only with the Ego11 platform (Includes CSL) and is only to be used as a complete kit. Installation and use of an incomplete kit will seriously affect the performance of the marker and in extreme cases may lead to damage of the marker. Only use the DART Valve Assembly and DART Bolt together in your EGO11 or CSL Marker.

Ego11 DART Kit Contains:
1 x DART Bolt Assembly (without pin)
1 x DART Valve Guide
1 x DART Exhaust Valve
Spare Bolt Plunger and Spring

Thanks Nicky, I think that your answer should cover anybody asking that very question I did,
When I can, I`m going to buy one of Robbo`s Babies, I was very impressed with what I saw and had in my hands.

Nicky - i've got my first ever EGO11 and DART kit arriving tomorrow, and wondering if there are any new steps needing when tuning the marker with the DART kit?
Current EGO11's have the LPR screwed in 2 turns in from flush. What is the best way to set an EGO11 up now?
I know I have to shoot a case or two through the marker first before dropping the dwell slightly.

Also, what is the efficiency like now on a 68/4500?

Cheers!

WildWayz,
When you install the DART Kit into your Ego11, i would advise you to leave it exactly as it is for at least the first 2-3 months so that you can get fully used to how the marker feels when in use. Once you are more familiar you can begin to "tweak" settings to your liking.
Efficiency wise, our beta testers have reported marked improvements. Your DART equipped Ego11 will certainly be an eye opener as to what is achievable.
