is there any difference performance wise between a fiber wrapped nitro tank and an aluminum/alloy nitro tank?
or is the only difference between them their weight when empty?
also, can you fit a hpa tank in a harness if u want to use a remote? if so, which harness is best for a 47/3000 tank and which remote works best for hpa?

thanx

The only general difference between wrapped and solid is weight, when empty and full :)
An HPA system can be used in harness, with most harness systems made to fit 47 - 88, so whatever harness you might get the 47 should fit.
On the question on what remote, in my experience they all pretty much the same, with almost no difference between any of them.

this should be in the air systems forum and i dont know too much about HPA tanks. But either then the weight fiber wrap arnt as strong and can be scratch which will then have the carbon fiber start to flake off etc...

so pretty much Metal tanks are stronger but heavier wrapped tanks are weaker but lighter...but if you put a cover on your fiber wrap you should be fine
