tanks

[SPyderMAn0307]

hello
i am trying to decide whether or not to run nitro on my spyder, it would be grand if all of you un-noobs could make a reccomendation. wether or not i should wait til i upgrade, and if it is a good idea what would be a good size. something light.

thank you folks

[RainTreeBoy]

Why not get it? You'll see better performance, plus if your going to get a new gun in the future, why not just have nitro for it now. A good size is fiber wrapped 68/45.

[timmyfreaker]

yes. Go with it. HPA is an excellent choice. If youre looking for something light then go with a fiber wrapped 68ci or 88ci 4500psi. The 88 is kind of big, so you might like a 68, but these are lighter than 20 oz CO2s. Youll never go back to CO2

[SPyderMAn0307]

you folks have been most gracious, i thank you

[Sniper15]

Go for it. Get a Crossfire 68/4500 like I did. HPA really makes a huge difference in the guns all around preformence.

[reneirwolf878]

ANy 68/45 or 45/45 tank will do just fine. MAke sureit's not a Bulldog II (BD III's are good tho) nor a 3A tank. Crossfire, Centerflag, PMI, Dye and Nitroduck are great tanks.

then after that should i scrap my expansion chamber and get a reg, or what?

[UTLadiesMan]

It's always a bonus, never a malus.

Just remember, a crummy nitro tank will stay with you just as long as a high quality one. This is one of the parts of the setup I always recommend not skimping on because of that. If you buy one just because it's cheap it will not hold much, be heavy, give you more inconsistent pressures, and probably will give you a few leaking headaches. Buying a quality one assures this will not happen. I'm not saying go out and buy a $400 tank, because you don't need to... however, most of the ones around $175-200 are very nice for the price. A screw in 68/45 may be more than a 47/3k but holds twice as much and will be better to you, still without breaking the bank.

If you get a preset, you will not need a reg because they are set to 750-800 psi. (depending on the tank's reg; make sure you get the high pressure output tanks... some are less) This is about the same pressure that CO2 expands to out of it's liquid form. A reg would help a low pressure gun more so than a blow back. Again, it can't hurt... but a good quality reg will cost you more than you will probably get in this situation.

[SPyderMAn0307]

the more i look into this the more confused i get, waht is the difference between high/ low pressure and what would be the best to run with my spyder

i also was lookin on paintballgear.com and noticed they dont carry a crossfire 68/45

EDIT: they are also all fixed, im lookin for a screw in, or does this not matter

[pbplayer_1357]

Fixed can are screw in. It means fixed pressure, not adjustable. My friend just got a Crossfire 68/45 from www.paintballgear.com The thing is so damn light. Try a 70 or 72 they are stubby and look cool. You need a high pressure for your Spyder.
Hope I helped. Happy hunting:)

Paintballgear.com does carry Crossfire 68/4500, I bought mine from there two weeks ago. It is just out of stock for the moment. And yes, the fixed screw in kind is the one you want.

Just a word of advice, wait until they get the tank back in stock before ordering, some people have had problems ordering stuff thats thats not in stock (or so I've heard). But I've never had any problems with pbgear...

[Morox]

I would use nitrogen if I could afford it. I have $175 worth of Radioshack gift certificates. Anyone want to buy them, hahaha...

[AR55 MtM]

If you don't plan on getting a high-end gun anytime soon I wouldn't recommend the high-end tanks like 69/45s or 88 Stubbies what I would recommend are the Nitro Tanks that Crossfire or PE make they are $70 45ci 3000psi Steel I believe and get a good regulator. That way when you get a new gun you can put the regulator on the gun & have the nitro tank ready. Here is a small list of some good regulators: Palmers, Sidewinder, Max-flows, & Black Magic regs. All of those are some of the best regulators out there.

[SPyderMAn0307]

all im seein is the 68/3000, 45/45, 88/45, 47/3000, 114/3000. but i will keep lookin. sorry to bring the thread back, its kinda dead

This in their new website and paintballgear.com is their old website. It's the same store and everything, just an updated website. This is where I ordered my tank from.

[hambone]

you may want to do some research by going over to the air systems category in the equipment section.....

[the_big_wazzoo]

just for quick reference, does anyoen know how big(long, wide) a 92ci stubby is compared to a regular 68ci?

[paintballer42o]

Go for it. HP is great and will work great on your gun. I say do it and dont look at Co2 again.
PMI tanks, Crossfire tanks, and Nitro duck tanks are all awsome.

[HurleyHero67]

Pay the extra money for a carbon fiber tank, you won't regret it. If you get a decent all day air deal from your field/if your fill station is nearby, a 3k will suit you fine. If you don't like filling as much, get a 4.5k. Another thing to judge it by is your position. If you're a back player, I'd say 88/4500, middy 68/4500, front 45/45. That's my scale.

[SPPaintball]

68/4500 is pretty light, and a good size.
