Who's got $65 for a remote?! I brought my setup into a local industrial hose and fitting place, and got this connected for $20. It's a little stiff on it's own, but once you have the tank secured, and you feel the weight of the marker, it's great :) Feel free to comment :P *UPDATE* My dad had some zipties lying around, so I changed to that, and I taped it up nicely. Much better :)   ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

The hose was professionally cut and crimped with the fittings tefloned and lock-tighted, and the hose can stand 3000psi. You won't find this at a hardware store. Go to the yellowpages.com and search your city for pneumatic stores, and look for hosing and fitting specialists. On a standard tank with co2 threading, you will probably have to remove the asa and attach it to the tank, and then attach the hose there etc... I didn't do that because my tank isn't a screw on. Take note that this will not be as flexable as a remote, but It's perfect if you ask me. You may want to show up at the store and ask to see a piece of the line befor they cut it for you, to make sure it's flexible enough for your taste. PS you could use steel braided hoseline, and it would be just as good, but it might kink more often. This will never have a problem kinking. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

well your dollar is worth more, you don't have to pay tax, and you don't have to pay the added cost from having it shipped to your country :P a new remote line here is $50 CND on average.

Nice rig. You should see if you couldnt have a block machined to fit on the grip and run your hoses through it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Naw, I'm going the cheap route :P If anyone can think of anything from a hardware store for under $5 to hold that hose, I'd appreciate it. Maybe zip-ties? ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

I'm glad I came across this one too. I've never heard of two regulators built onto a tank befor this came along. Now I'm just going to sell the secondary reg I got. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

ctchofday/ultmate98- if you actually read, you would know that he is in canada. US dollar> canadian dollar And we do have to pay tax, 6%. |

The difference in US and Canadian money isnt that much, is it? -------------

It's not the difference in money, it's also because all that crap is made in the US and when it is brought up here, hey have to add a bit to make up for the shipping costs. ON AVERAGE (like I said) a new remote is $50 CND. This cost me $20 CND. Either way, I saved 3/5 of what it's worth to me, so who cares lol.

Yeah, It's not comfortable to me. I either hold the hose or I put my hand under the cyclone.
What would I do without you to buy me things ;)
Well, $20 CND is about $15 USD. So, if they're usually $35 USD I still saved $20 USD. Less than half price :) ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

| hmm an offtopic question but why did you take forgrip off. i ask because ive been thinking about it. is it more stable? |

That's the first thing I was worried about when I saw this!haha But, you say it's fitted for it so I guess so. That stuff freaks me out though. Ever take the time to think what would happen if your tank went off on you during a game?!?! I have and it's not a pretty thought. haha good thing they are made well. :/ -------------

Yeah, that's also why they're so damn expensive and need to be tested lol. I took the foregrip off because I prefer to hold the hose or put my hand under the cyclone. I still use the foregrip sometimes. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

The tank wouldn't be the thing to go off. At the very worst, the hose could get severed in half(remember, i did say WORST possible scenario) and he'd have a violent expansion of gas and a writhing rubber tube for a few moments until the tank effused a sufficient amount of pressurized gas to reach an equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere. In no way could this rig make the tank itself turn into a HPA powered Carbon fiber rocket of ugly death. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

lol... I like his explaination best ^^^ Yeah, at the worst the hose might leak from a corner or something, it won't affect the tank any more than a macroline would. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
