the palmer stabalizer is unique because it can be used as a regulator for co2, HPA, and N2. It performs very well at stopping liquid co2 from getting into your inner workings of your gun. as a HPA regulator it performs on the medium level. you want the palmer stabalizer for your 98c. Yes you can use a remote for HPA, as long as its rated for that kind of pressure.

The Stabilizer IS a regulator. It's just Palmer name for it.

No they're not. N2 = Pure Nitrogen. HPA = Compressed Air (which is something like 78% Nitrogen).
They're both put in the same type tank, which is why people use the terms interchangeably. No one uses pure Nitrogen anymore, it's too expensive.

EDIT: Yes, you can use a remote with HPA. Don't know anyone who does, but is can be done.
