Hey guys! I have a 98c with an X-core.

1st: Recently I had work done on it with the CO2 housing chamber, and so now that leaks on it's front and back ends. Is there anything that I should do? It's weakening the balls so I'm getting alot more breaks but it's not a hugely obscene leak either. I replaced the CO2 housing with a Dead On ProSeal, which is aluminum. Anything that I should do that is somewhat guarrenteed?

2nd: I'm going to be getting another Drop Forward this time it's the bullet drop with the on/off switch. My next questions are, since I have an X-Core; what steel braid hose length should I use? And how many 90 degree connecters should I get too? My plan right now is the shortest hose with three 90 degree connecters. But the hose will again be too long.

Thanks for any help, and please don't go on about getting macroline and switching to Nitrogen. I'm not that rich yet.

Thanks.

LOL, shop around. Ebay has tons of HPA tanks for sale. I bought a HPA tank from a friend for $40CDN. Just need to know where to look.

Back on topic. Can't help ya with the second question. Concerning the first. Are all the hoses securely tightened in? You can't simply screw them in by hand, as they'll need to be in there good. Pliers come in handy (put an old rag around the hose fittings so you don't mark them up) I put teflon tape around my hose ends just as an added touch. Probably not needed, but it acts as an extra protection against leaks.

Oh, and you can use steel braided hose for HPA. No problems there.

No, it's coming out of the CO2 housing, I've already sealed everything else. I sent it to a guy that did all of this for me.

I've seen 45/3000 Nitro tanks for $45 on Action Village, but they sold too fast. Almost all nitro tanks are sold out on Action Village.
