Is the pro team fx low pressure?

The Sleeper has STO pneumatics. STO pneumatics are low pressure mine runs at 300 psi but I think it would work at 250 as well.

Pro teams website tells you to use a secondary regulator so you don't blow your STO pneumatics.

I run mine at about 350...only because the POS reg I am using can't keep up....things are gonna change when the genx gets here though....

and Jake....I couldn't send you a message you have it off.....but mine is green....they stopped making it in green though....

Sorry man I didn't know it was off. I thought about green but got the blue instead. Were you a little disappointed with the anno? I was hoping for a high gloss anno but the flat is unique and I've seen 2 or 3 people looking at my gun just because of the cool color

no I wasn't...I knew it was a matte finish....I like it.....it's unique...

I think with chrome an black parts it looks really good....

I stripped and polished my feed which I think looks better.....

the only green parts left are the main body and the grip frame....well and the vertical adapter(mine came green...is yours blue or chrome??)....

but thats because the black one hasn't gotten here yet.....

Dude I was wondering how you got that sweet chrome feed tube I'd like to do that to mine. Yeah i agree it's unique and I love it but I wasn't aware of the fact that its that flat the pic on the site doesn't show that very well. Anyway my blue one does look aight but I'd like to have that chrome one. but I think that this cocker is definetly underrated and people shouldn't rate it higher then a stock vertical feed cocker because its not.

I explain what I did there.....I did it to my back block and beaver tail also....

I got my marker used..and the feed was kinda scratched up and I had to do something.....so I opted to polish it...and I liked it so much I did the back block and the tail....I ended up painting the tail black ...I used appliance paint....(it gets really hard)...

Jake- the main Valve and hammer assembly are the things that "operate" at 300psi(as you wrote) this is velocity and shooting paint. Your pnue reg "regulates" this 300psi down to approx 80psi-90psi for use with the 4 way(which channels the pressure to the front and read of the ram for cycling). I just wanted to point out you were talking two different things. Hope I cleared it up.

STO pnue reg or more less designed to operate at 80-90psi. Some after market pnue regs can "cycle" ~20psi to 30psi lower.

The F/X has "stock" main valve and bolt. STO main valves are the same as stock. Virtaully operates at the same pressures.

STO pnue are very realiable and sturdy pnues. A very good choice.
