Are you supposed to run nitro on the RT, or is it better to stay with co2? Also, are u able to get the comp air with the rt? |

I doesnt matter but always get an HPA tank if you can afford one. There is only one power tube. The LPK comes with a new valve. -------------

Alright thanks, now its time for me to get some nitro But one more quesion, is there a way to not have it rear cocking and have the same effects? |

yes..and no.. The cocking bolt dont really make a big difference in the comp air, it just makes there less recoil with combining the new drive spring. You can put in your stock bolt, and use the drive spring that came with the comp air kit for practically the same effect. The only real things you need to make the gun comp air is the low pressur reg, secondary reg, and new valve, the drive spring is optional..And it will all work with the rt, because the valve is a drop in job for the power tube the RT comes with... ------------- Spyder Imagine 2k4 --- -14" Custom barrel -DOP Xcore 8stage X Chamber -DOP Bullet Drop -12v Revvy w/x board ---- |

With rt and a nitro tank it will be a whole lot more efficient because if you are firing fast strings of shots with the RT and CO2, the gas doesn't have enough time to expand without a good reg or a Xchamber and you end up shooting a lot of liquid CO2. So a compressed air tank isn't a necessity for the RT, but it sure is nice to have. ------------- In the world of the blind, the one eyed rules... |
