I have an RT pro x valve that the trigger is not being very reactive on and I was wondering if any one has any ideas. I was thinking of changing out the o-rings but thought I should ask here first to see what people thought. it has a level 10 on I it don't think that matters, and it shot fine other wise.

Thanks for any thoughts

sup man, yeah i herd that if you file down the pin by like a fraction of a millimeter (like 1/10th a millameter) then you get that nice bounce spot, if thats what your talking about, or are you talking about it just pusing your finger back with the trigger.

What's your input pressure? The higher it is, the more reactive your trigger will be.

Oh dear God in heaven don't start with the filing and crap. Your reactivity of your RT valve is affected by not only your input pressure to the RT valve but how good the flow rate is on your tank.

One of the least understood aspects of making your RT valve perform is that you can't buy some $70 preset and get much of anything. You actually have to invest some money into either a quality preset or a nice adjustable tank.

While I wrote up this "how-to" for rapid-fire, the SAME concepts apply to adjusting the bounce on the RT.

I just got a new crossfire HP reg and that does the trick, 800psi. I agrree with Z-man all about the reg, and maybe some oil.
