How hard is it to change an A-5 over to nitro?

Will it affect my flatline any?

can i still use a remote?

will the n2 tank fit in a standerd pod pack?

ps. if the stock remote wont work ill just make one.

#1  Just stick it in, though there's not much improvement to your gun except cleaner gas and no freezing.  Think about tippmann's low pressure kit to get more shots per cubic inch.

#2  Shouldn't

#3  Nitro just plugs into standard Co2 ports, so your remote should work.  Nitro is probably better for it anyway, due to no freezing, though you should make sure to check to see if your remote can handle the higher psi.

#4  Depends on the pod pack's tank pocket size relative to the size of your tank.  For example:  if your pack will fit up to a 68 ci nitro tank don't get a 72 ci tank.  Or just get a new pack and sell the old one.

I think you can just screw in a nitro tank and go, not sure about the flatline, depends on what tank you get for the remote (psi), and the remote, if a 20 oz can't fit, a nitro tank most likely won't fit depending on what size you get, and if your remote won't work with the psi, I wouldn't make your own, because it could blow up in your face.
