Hello I'm new here,

I was wondering if the K-Mod is possible on the 1500 - since it has two PC tanks.

If so, to mod it would I just put balloons around both, or just one?

The 1500 seems rather flimsy. Has anyone had long-term success with the K-mod without the gun's internals snapping?

Thanks. :D

Hey, welcome. BTW the CPS 1500 has only one PC. The one in the front is only plastic. K-modding a CPS 1500 has been done before. I remember someone trying it out and they said they liked their regular stats rather than the K-modded stats.

The CPS 1500 is good gun in itself, but has major flaws. I know from experience, the trigger valve is pretty weak. If you do decide to K-mod, I highly suggest you reinforce the internals just to be safe.

Racer k-modded his 1500 last year, but reverted to stock because he prefered stock shot time and output. If you want to k-mod that gun, I would recommend a low number of balloons [like 30-40] and reinforcement of the internals that will be under pressure, like the trigger valve.

Mmm... I K-Modded it with only 15 balloons, and I'll tell you that even with that low amount, the shot time dropped 5 seconds and only gained a bit more power and 3 feet of range.

I wouldn't reccomend K'ing this gun.
I don't check this forum anymore.

A stock CPS 1500 already shoots just under 50 feet (around 48-49 feet) and has really good shot time. It's considered by many to be the best all around soaker to be built. I was thinking for a short time to K-mod mine, but it's just so perfect already.

That's just about what I was thinking. The CPS 1500/CPS 1700 is such a good gun stock that, when you consider the likely difficulties you'll encounter when trying to modify it, it doesn't seem worth doing so. You could put a dowel in the handle though, in any case.

I always wanted to actually, be able to look at the inside of something, and be able to modify it, since I was four. My first soaker was the 1500, and is a very good gun already, and the K-mod is sort of hard, but you might do something stupid like I did by breaking my 1-3-5. I wouldn't risk breaking it. Oh yeah, and some good advice keep the cap on while it is in storage in winter.
Soak, or be soaked that is the question!

I find that the K-mod it self isn't what breaks the soaker. It's usually when you do the check valve freeze that you screw up and break your gun.

Check valve issues don't even break your gun for that long, they are just annoying. I agree that the actual k-mod rarely, if ever, is responsible for breaking one's gun. Sometimes there is a trigger valve problem after k-modding, but those are often linked to overpressurization.
