I'm gettin an 05 Speed so i can start hittin tourneys next year. I need a new tank now. What do ya'll recommend playin with. 68/4500 (been playin with 68/3000), would a 72ci or 88ci be too big or is it that much of a difference. ------------- 05 Macdev Cyborg Black/Red Tadao Board Clamping Feedneck Just get some from the school nurse...I know she has like 5 sticks in her drawer. |

I prefer a 68/4500. 88's feel a little heavy, but I've used em and ya don't really notice after a game or two. But I'll stick with a 68. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

The 45/45 is small and really light especially if its carbon fiber wrapped. -------------

Waterhose... If you play front you will be shooting very little so air capacity is minimal... size is more important to help you shrink your profile. A 45/4500 would probably be your choice. If you play mid you will be shooting more, I would suggest a 68/4500 or possibly a 72/4500 stubby(actually depending on manufacturer it may be a 71/4500 or even a 70/4500). These are the most universal sizes. If you are a back player... at least a 68/4500. If you are playing 5-man tourneys you will probably go through 3-5 pods plus your hopper in a full game. The 68/4500 is great for that. If you are playing 7-Man or 10-Man... then you will need an 88/4500. The problem is the the 88 cu and up tanks are pretty big. Good luck... I hope that helped. |

i have a 68/3000...it works fine, but stubbies and peanut tanks are very nice for low profile. id say go for a 72/4500. most are pretty close to the same size except 114's(most r extremly long) and peanuts(very tight and small)... -------------

68/4500 and 72/4500 are about the same, unless you get the stubby 72.
i used to have a 68/4500 on a rail and it was perfect. now i have an evil scion and it is a 68 as well ------------- Check out the team site http://www.tippmanntorment.20megsfree.com - Tippmann torment team site Macdev cyborg black/yellow #371, evil scion 68/4500, ccm no rise |
