your right that the palmers works great for Co2, but its still co2, the thing is co2 is alot more tempermental than N2 or compressed air. if I had to pick between using co2 with a palmers or using n2 without a reg, I would pick the nitro. palmers help alot, but Co2 just has far to many natural problems when compared HPA or Nitrogen. -------------

palmer or sidewinder, as a secondary regulator to an airsource.

Before you buy a reg for your gun, you have to look at the output pressure(s) for the reg in question. Your 98c needs to be operating on about 800 psi, give or take, depending on what you have done to it (with the LPK that's dropped to about 450 psi). So if the reg you get can only put-out 400 psi, then your gun won't operate correctly. So you need a reg that can put-out around 800 psi. Once you consider that, see what air source you'll be using. If you plan on running any CO2 at all, then the Palmers is the way too go. And even if you plan on running HPA all the time, then I'd still suggest the Palmers, seeing as it gives you great flexability. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Cp reg is great for a tippy. If you want to use co2 also, get a palmers. If you want the best of the best for hpa get an AKA 2-Liter.(quite overkill though) ------------- Please sign up at http://www.tippmannowners.com/ - http://www.tippmannowners.com/ and leave the referrer as me (FA22RaptorF22)and you will be my hero. |

Hey, you are back. Good for you. If the Sidewinder outputs more than 700 or so psi, then buy that. If not, go for the Stab or CP. |

k so if the cp reg has an output of 0-500psi .. that means i cant get it??? but the guy said cp's were great for tippmanns ..im confused also the detonator is 100-500psi.. so i cant use this either? ------------- Tippmann 98 custom -GTA double trigger -Super r/t (hoses comming soon) -3A Knockout 14' barrel -dead on bullet drop forward - dye sticky 3 black grips -proto 3+2 pack - evolution w/ z-board |

You need around 800psi to operate your tippmann, so no the CP reg wont work.

Why do you say this? My 98Pro has HORRIBLE consistency.. Thats why I'm also looking for a reg. When I say HORRIBLE, I mean like anywhere between 255 to 280. Thats with HPA. |

ya wouldnt a reg help with consistancy? why wouldnt i need one. o yah and im thinking about getting a palmers just in case i ever do use Co2 so plamers will work just as good on nitro right not only for co2 ------------- Tippmann 98 custom -GTA double trigger -Super r/t (hoses comming soon) -3A Knockout 14' barrel -dead on bullet drop forward - dye sticky 3 black grips -proto 3+2 pack - evolution w/ z-board |

Needing one, and wanting one, are two different concepts. A reg will help w/ consistency. A Stabilizer will work better with HPA than with CO2. A Stabilizer will work great with CO2. Please read the Uber Upgrades & FAQ thread that is stickied at the top of this forum for more info before asking more questions. -------------

| WOW! I just read the upkeep on a CP reg and well... WOW! You need a darn engineering degree just to maintain one. How much is involved in maintaining a Palmers? |

CP's are EASY. I remember Stabs being fairly tough to take apart. |

I've never taken my Stab apart. I just run oil through it. Lots of high tech markers can't use oil however, which is why you'd need to disassemble and grease the reg instead. I pull out the piston in my "Torpedo" on my NME after every other day of play. That and every other moving part that needs grease. -------------

So, your saying if I put it on my 98 I don't really need to take it apart at all? Just run oil through it? |
