Yes, they take the little bus to school. Make sure you use original o-rings in the valve. Get the o-ring kit from Tippmann, you'll end up using all of them eventually.

Ha Ha good one. But is the oring different? Maybe thats why my air is leaking from the valve. Had to change that oring and figured it was the same as any normal ring.

should be a regular one.

 

ya i know this sounds gross, but whatever it works

b4 i play sometimes i lick the oring on my tank, it seals it better

or a little vasoline on the oring extends the life of it by a little bit.

Did you replace the o-ring? If it looks worn out or cracked, dump it and get another one on there.

Thanks for the advice. I did buy a replacement parts kit and received a new valve from tippmann. So everything is working awesome on Tippy. (Yes, we named her tippy).
