02 shocker 4x4 with a maxflo 88 4500 tank and empire loader
Strengths:
this system is very consistent
Weaknesses:
poor finish, overpriced
Review:
Consistancy is what you expect from a high end regulator, really good. Besides that it has good capacity, 4500psi. Additionally it comes with 2 sets of springs for the regulator allowing for low or high pressure output, a really big plus. However the finish is exceptionaly poor. the anodizing is poor and thin. Mine is already damaged. Also when i recieved it the fill nipple was defective. For $400 you expect a high standard of quality, not a cheap finish. I suppose if you have the money to spend and can put up with small build quality issues this tank really is very functional.
Conclusion:
Poor finish and manufacturing quality on a superior but overpriced design. If you have money and patience, get one. if not try a different brand. i cant give more than 7 to a product shipped defective.
My friend has a SFT Shocker with a max-flo and he was pretty satisfied with it. Its kind of a lottery, you buy a max-flo and you get lucky. The filter gets dirty, the o-rings get bad and some guzzle more gas than others. Sometimes they can be your best friend, sometimes they are your worst enemy.
Conclusion:
Buy it if your rich, dont if your me. they guzzle gas, get dirty, worsten o-rings and did i mention guzzle gas? they also guzzle gas.
