98 Expansion Camber/HPA

Hey all,

oh. well what about the Tippmann brand expansion chamber?

So a Palmer's Stabilizer is like an expansion chamber? And can I just keep it on my 98c PS at all times and use either co2 or HPA through it with no worries?

Thanks Hubb. Yes if a regulator will let me swap back and forth between Co2 and HPa with problems while still giving me the results of an expansion chamber when using co2 then yes Ill go with a Palmer stabilizer. But could anyone put up a link to one that might be best for my situationand 98c Ps? I've never purchased nor used a regulator. Thanks for any help.

Except as noted in Johnnys other thread, he has Platinum series 98. Due to the way the gas line connects to the PT, you cannot do this, nor are they making a vertical adapter for it. You will have to run a stabilzer that replaces the stock ASA. Essentially, you would need:

I guess it depends on your situation. If you are primarily planning on playing outlaw or renegade ball, essentially on private property not a commercial field, that does not have readily available HPA fills, than you actually would be better off sticking with CO2. Bottles are cheaper and you can probably get them filled easier. If you are playing at commercial fields that have on site HPA fills, which most do these days,  than simply go with HPA. By the same token, metal HPA tanks have come pretty far down in price and you can get them for as low as $40 if you keep your eyes open. With the money that you would spend on a Stab, you could buy at least two tanks, if not three. But again, if you are playing at commercial fields, you only really need one. A lot depends on whats available in your area.

Also, what's the lowest I can spend on a hpa/n2 tank that is still a good quality brand? That being said, what are the top trusted brands for hpa as I don't want to buy something too cheap that will explode in my face lol.

oh I never meant that I wouldn't chrono. What I meant and what originally posted was that I didn't know if I could put an xchamber on my 98 and run HPA/n2 through it or would I have to take the xchamber off when i wanted to use HPA. I was hoping that I could have a xchamber and simply run HPA and co2 through it. And the reason being was in the case that If I would need to switch to c02 I would still be getting efficiency due to the xchamber. Chronoing after swapping goes without saying. I meant that i wanted to swap without having to change anything physically on the gun. I want to be able to Take HPA tank off, put co2 tank on, chrono, play. Is that possible/ logical? Thanks again.

Then to make things easier. Will the tippmann brand xchamber of their site work the way that Im hoping or no? Or would I definitely need a stabilizer?

I understand completely. But in the case that i would have to switch to co2 over hpa I was hoping to have my 98 perform as good as it could and I figured having an xchamber would help. But again I was worried that I would have to take off and on the xchamber when i went back to hpa.
