I was wondering if you can run comressed air through a remote, Ive never seen anything that says you can, and I dont have an adjustable tank, I have a basic 47/3000 psi crossfire nitro. I was also wondering if anyone knows the input pressure on my crossfire, I need like 800 PSI to go into a mag right? Im trading my angel for a mag, and need some help :)

Hi I am new to the forum.
Well remotes are usually rated for 3000+ psi and the output of a 47/3000 is usually 800 psi. Meaning it should handle it easily. But then again as mentioned before... Why?

Way to hyjack the thread fellas
I tried running a classic RT on a remote for a while, funny thing is when I had an old 114ci steel tank on the remote the gun worked ok, the first two days.
For some reason it stopped working, i think the remote wouldnt allow enough air to recharge the marker fast enough.
I cant imagine why it worked in the first place.
I suggest against the remote

on the contrary
you can easily run a remote with compressed air....
the remote line has a larger inner diameter than the air passages in your gun
co2 gas is equivalent to about 800psi anyway so it'd be no real difference
i can run my AT-85 on full auto with a remote line
full auto around 15bps, i can hold the trigger down until i run out of balls and/or air with no skips or any problems...
...not to mention that the AT-xx series of guns are extremely sensitive to input pressure changes...
i personally don't run a remote on my mag because i prefer an on gun setup now, but there's no reason why you can't. It's just personal preference, don't let anyone tell you different

I've used a remote for a long time. With a classic valve using a pre set should be no problem. With an RT valve you may experience drop off. I use an adjustable tank and run at 900psi for my RT. I run it in a camel pack and haven't had any problems with it at all.

To answer your question. YES. To answer the why? Have you ever had a 114/4500 Armageddon on the bottom of your marker? Imagine a 2 liter bottle on the bottom of your gun. It's not exactly light nor small. It works. I've seen it done with a 68/3k flatline.
