The Planet Eclipse GTEK 180R is a .68-caliber electronic marker built around the OP-R Core, an OLED interface, and an S63 barrel system. It gives players a route into a capable tournament setup while preserving the option to add a dedicated mechanical frame later.
At HURTspeed.co, we suggest starting with the formats you actually play. A marker that suits your grip, service habits, and equipment budget will be easier to build around than a choice made from appearance alone. The 180R deserves a look when you want a straightforward electronic platform and a clear upgrade path.
The OP-R Core
The 180R uses a double-decoupled spool-valve system with the OP-R Core and Cure FT bolt. Planet Eclipse describes OP-R as an abridged version of the OP Core used in the CS3 family and specifies a 120 PSI operating pressure.
A quick-release bolt mechanism provides access for routine cleaning. The hoseless air-transfer layout and POPS on/off ASA keep the air connection within the marker package. Those features are useful to compare alongside the more visible body styling, particularly if you service your equipment between events.
Electronics and hand position
The MME electronics provide an OLED screen, adjustable firing settings, and a microswitch trigger. Power comes from one 9V alkaline battery with toolless access. The removable Blade trigger shoe has five-way adjustment, allowing the contact and pull to be set to your preference.
Dual-density grips, a stretched stance, and a low-rise feedneck shape the way the 180R fits the hands. Its body, frame, and other principal machined parts use 6061-T6 aluminum. The manufacturer's 180R specifications list no E-Portal compatibility, so choose it for its onboard controls rather than expecting app-based setup.
Included barrel and the mechanical option
The standard 180R barrel is a 14.5-inch, three-piece S63 supplied with one .689 PWR insert. Additional PWR insert sizes are separate purchases. If your paint changes between venues or seasons, that gives you a reason to consider an insert selection alongside the marker instead of replacing the complete barrel immediately.
The electronic marker can accept the optional 180R-specific mechanical-frame kit. That kit is sold separately and is not included with the core electronic marker. Treat it as a distinct purchase when budgeting for mixed electronic and mechanical play. Check the selected product package for the exact included equipment.
Building a marker-and-loader package
The CF200 is a Planet Eclipse loader option for a new 180R setup. It combines true force-fed operation, electronic feed-force adjustment, rechargeable power, and a 215+ round capacity. A speedfeed and rain lid are included with the loader.
For a player moving up from an earlier setup, first decide which equipment can stay. A suitable existing loader or air system may already cover part of the build. For a fresh package, review both the marker finish and loader color and make sure the itemized contents match what you need. A marker-and-loader bundle does not add an air tank or mechanical frame unless the listing specifically includes them.
See the GTEK 180R listing and CF200 loader listing for the current options.
