If you have a remote getting a drop would be pointless. A drop forward puts the tank down and forward when it's attached to the Marker.

pretty much all a drop forward does is place the center of balence of your gun and tank more forward on it and it brings the tank forward a few inches, and you wouldnt want to use a remote line with it

a drop distributes weight by putting the tank forward so you have more room to manuever the gun a remote line is better tho

I use a drop for woods ball...and I hate my remote...it balances my marker, and I hate using the butt plate to aim with.

Maybe the only thing you will get out of getting a drop with a remote line is that your gun might look a little bit cooler.
Its called Tippmann Effect for a reason.

i dont like remote lines at all i find em to dangerous special for woods ball cuz if u have the line by your side and if your crawlin or somethin and the line breaks somethin bad can happen.

Even though the odds of the line to break are so slim i just dont take the risk and got a drop
