any body use HPA and remotes together? I have an old smartparts remote with x chamber. I know an x chamber is pretty much a nonfactor with HPA but havent noticed anybody using a remote along with HPA. Just wondered if it was worth tryin out.

Can't hurt to run a remote with HPA but I don't think I'd like the extra cable hanging off my gun. I'm usually crawling around in the woods though and that kind of thing is probably less of a concern on something like a speedball field.

well, your velocity will not be as consistant as if you were running the air straight from tnak to gun. this is because the tank regulates the air, and then sends it down this tube for like 5 feet (longer if coiled)

it will not noticeably hinder the perfromance of the marker though.
