whats a timmy?
- Thread starter scott essery
- Start date
THe "Jumped up Spyder thing come from the very first Timmy's - they used modified Spyder bodies and the build quality was inconsistent, so all the haters started focusing on the Spyder thing instead of getting a life
Haters = yawn.
Mr pink. have you been using ions all season??

nothing.
although they look pretty cool.
and apparently each one is unique as it is hand milled.
and they go pretty quick.
but they break down a lot so I hear.
But don't quote me.
Because the closest i've got is firing a broken one with no paint in it.

*Gets an image in his head of Manike sitting there, chained to a desk with a piles of aluminium blocks around him and a hammer and chisel in his hand.*
i'm not sure where i read it, but i'm sure i did. or i may have been having a daydream at work. does anyone know? (about the milling, not my daydream)
Whoever told you that was just wrong.
Timmies are cut on a CNC from extrusions, except for Dragons, which are cut from billet aluminum. This makes them infitesimally better, if you squint a little.
They are good because they are simple, reliable, and sort of solid. They have less reciprocating mass than a Spyder, although they are laid out about the same. They are autococker barrel threaded, so everyone already has barrels for them. They have always used break-beam eyes, and those have always worked pretty well.
The problems with them is that tolerances in the older ones were not as strict as one might wish, and they have suffered from quality control issues on occasion. They rattle when you shake them and feel cheap, but once they are gassed up and ready to play with, they straight rip.
