Ive been out of paintball for a while, but now Ive been getting back into it. Heres what I got, ill tell you what I want, and somebody tell me if I can do it. 
98 custom expansion chamber dye ultralite response trigger (currently on co2) I am switching to compressed air. I would like to run low pressure. How do I go about doing this on the tippy? Is there a way to run the rt with a low pressure kit? Can I just install the low pressure stuff and then re-install the rt? If I cant accomplish this, what do you recomend? I see alot of guys running low pressure with an ebolt, is this the way to go? ------------- Custom painted 98c Polished Internals 14" dye Ultralight Low Pressure Kit Empire Regulator Super RT 12v revvy x-board Vortex Impellar 72/3000 Comp Air. |

yes. you would need a bigger hose for your rt. or if your gun receivers is capable, you can get a e-trigger. (i would sugest the etrigger over the rt) ------------- http://imageshack.us">

so, what special moldings do I need for the e-trigger? Its an older 98 custom. I got it in 03 I believe. Im on a budget.  Thats why I was hoping I could still run the rt.
Edit: - AND what regulator do you suggest with the lp kit? Also, will the lp kit allow me to get more shots off of a comp air tank? ------------- Custom painted 98c Polished Internals 14" dye Ultralight Low Pressure Kit Empire Regulator Super RT 12v revvy x-board Vortex Impellar 72/3000 Comp Air. |

#1) u can not use the e-grip cuase it is too old...i ran into that probelm also #2)u can run the r/t as long as u call up tippmann and tell them u have the lpk and r/t and they will sent the stuff to u #3)i would get a palmers stab so u never have to worry about something happening or buying another one, if thats too much($80)then u can get a bob long torpedo reg for around $50 #4)yes yes yes, u will get more shots outta it becuase u aren't using too much when u shoot, it lowers the pressure from 800psi to 400psi to yes, u will get like 1/3-1/2 more shots |

Co2 will work as long as your HPR is tolerant of C02. Stabilizers are the classic choice. |

Sure, your operating at a lower pressure, but because of that a higher volume of air is needed to propell the ball the same speed as the higher pressure. You will get a few more shots, but not many. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

That's kinda like saying your 68/4500 800psi out will get about 6 shots. 800 out each time right? |

I currently have the super r/t installed, and then installed the lpk. I have not had any luck with my r/t working now, so I am taking it off and puting in the e-grip, but keeping my cyclone. If you are going to run just the r/t, and not an r/t cyclone combo, it probably would work fine for you. I am using the AKA Sidewinder reg. It is a little cheaper than the palmer and it works great, but if you are going to use HPA and CO2 you should prob. get the palmers. ------------- Custom Pro 48/3000,evil bottom Cyclone/ricochet Super R/T LPK AKA Sidewinder/cp guage Shocktech superfly 14" j&j Polished int.

But you don't get twice as many shots from the tank because your operating pressure is cut in half, which is what you said. |

My new setup is in my sig now, if it all works. lol
Ive installed the low pressure kit. Ive got a baggy of parts from tippmann for the RT. And Ive got a reg on its way. I have two questions.
From the parts I got from tippmann to make the rt work... Where does the lp orphace - aka little metal reducer cylinder - go? Just in my rt hose somewhere? or do I even use it? I'm actually wondering if its not for the cyclone? Also, Is there anyone running an empire reg? I know I asked about it before, but I still really dont know about it. Everyone is out of bob longs, Ive ordered two, and both places called me afterwards and told me they were out of stock. I agreed to try an empire regulator. The guy seemed to think it was high enough pressure for me, but Im not sure. Whats the max output? Hopefully I have some sort of working reg for this weekend.  ------------- Custom painted 98c Polished Internals 14" dye Ultralight Low Pressure Kit Empire Regulator Super RT 12v revvy x-board Vortex Impellar 72/3000 Comp Air. |
