I posted before on some issues with my remote, but it was before I did more thorough testing. I am having issues with the RT and Cylone cycling when using the remote. With a fully filled tank, using the remote, the marker does not go full auto with the RT even with it turned up/down. Best I can get maybe 3-4 shot bursts. I have oiled the slide check and turned the knob on the remote in, out etc with little to no effect. I tried taking the x-chamber off and put the asa adapter for the remote into the vertical adapter and tried that seeing if using both was the issue. Nominal difference. I can get closer to full auto, but the Cyclone is still intermitant. I also tried putting the tank straight into the vertical adapter without the x-chamber or remote and not good results. Lastly, I took the remote off, put the x-chamber back on, screwed the tank directly into the ASA and it works great. Obviously, the easiest solution is to lose the remote, but I really like not having the tank on the gun and using a stock. Also, I have tried taking the slide check off of the remote and it made no difference either. The remote is not a micro line, but it seems like it is starving the marker. Yesterday I ordered the larger fittings for the Rt/Cyclone, but guessing this probably won't help. Any suggestions? Is there something that I am missing?

I have considered that, but not sure how to go about proving it. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

test it on another gun. it seems that the remote is restricting the airflow or something. if you have another 98 or someone you know has a 98 see if they'll loan it to ya to test it out. test it without the remote. then attach the remote see if changes anything. |

Just got my chrono yesterday, along with the larger hoses for the RT/Cyclone. I also removed the adaptor for the stock and replaced it with the stock plug. I went to the garage, and living dangerously, tried the remote. And now it is suddenly working! Full auto capability and it chronoed easily at 280. After I started to think about it, I realized something Mack mentioned in another thread and measured the depth of the spring hole on the mount for the stock. Here is what I don't get, it was actually shallower than the stock plug. Wouldn't this increase the FPS? I than took the marker back apart, put the stock mount back in and tried it again. Without any adjusting to the FVA, it was shooting at 240-250. I was able to get it back up to 280, with adjusting the FVA out. Am I misunderstanding? Shouldn't the shallower hole for the spring have actually have raised the FPS, not decreased it? I don't get it. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

it should have. maybe the wider r/t hose had something to do with it? |

| what sort of tank are you using... im not sure but tippmanns eat gas and you need high pressure for better performance but dont quote me on that. if its a crossfire tank does it have a blue or red leabel near the top |

I am running Co2 and the larger lines were put on prior to testing today. Granted, I am glad it's working, but I really want to be able to know why. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
