I recently ordered my RTpro for Xmas so Im going to need to upgrade my 47/3000.

Id buy an AGD tank but I cant afford the Flatline :( so Ive been looking into the Worrgas 70/4500 preset b/c I know WGP has good customer service as well as a decent reputation for quality.

I figure I can get some unbiased opinions here as opposed to WGP boards :). So if anyone who has one of these cares to share their opinion it would be greatly appreciated!

I've seen their "quality" first hand.

A tank that wasn't supposed to put out more than 800-900 was putting out 1200. No thanks.

Go Crossfire and save yourself some $.

Crossfire is cheap and reliable as he said.

3000 pounds per square inch
vs.
4500 pounds per square inch

The 4500 basically holds 150% the air the 3000 does without increasing the size of the tank, only increasing the pressure.

no spdelments.... there is really no line that can be drawn between gun performance and pressure inside an air tank. i have 2 tanks... an 88/3000 and an 88/4500... both of them are the JAVA line by kingman... i really like these tanks and they work well with my setup... but in both cases the tanks output approx. 850psi to my gun.. so, in practice, my marker never 'knows' which tank is powering it. at my local field, they will rarely fill my 4500psi tank over 3000 if you buy the all day air pass... cause this saves time and is SAFER when you're filling HPA tanks in a "hurried" fashion (not reccomended). the reason that i prefer the 4500 is the size is stubbier (just the way kingman made them), which i like with my drop forward and all that. having higher pressure in your tank will, of course, help your fixed output tank recharge more quickly cause there is more pressure aiding this process.... lets say you have an RT mag and a tank with adjustable output, the higher tank pressure may be better. this because you may want to have your RT run at ~1000psi for the reactive trigger... if you only have 3000 pounds of starting pressure in the tank, you may find yourself eating that mere 2000 pound margine faster than you'd want, thus killing optimum RT performance...... ok... breathe

Yeh, crossfire tanks are extremley cheap, and very nice. I have never had a problem with mine, and would buy another in the future.

I am buying a 68 3000psi flatline. since i am going to be turning down the psi to my gun does it matter how much psi i got in the tank? IM using it on a rt

Thanks

Keep it set around 800. The RT will like it.

As for what's in the tank, once you get around ~800psi or less in the tank, you'll start seeing the balls drop closer and closer b/c you're not getting a full charge in the valve.

So the psi of the tank makes no difference in performance of the gun?

No, it just affects how many shots per fill you will get. The higher the PSI, the more shots.
