How do you adjust how reactive I want my RT? Is it all in the intput pressure from the tank or can you do something in the gun to increase or decrease? Thanks.

Ajusting the reactivnes is easy. More input pressure is more reacitive, less is less reactive. The on-off pin leanth also effects it, but shouldn't be messed with.

I adjust the pressure and tweak the on/off valve, itis actually a tune up, I take the stock on off pin and replaced it with a smaller one i got from AGD. the diference is noticeable, and I went from .750 to .745 without any problems. I dont recomend actually doing this mod if you cannot reverse the effects, such as dont try to file down you on/off cuz if it is too much, the valve suffers severely.

you might want to call AGD and ask them about getting some different length on/off pins, thats the only other real way you can adjust the reactivity of your RT trigger, and as said earlier, grinding them down isnt the greatest idea, not sure if AGD would send them out to you for free or not, you'd have to give em a call :)

So, do i need an adjustable tank for the RT to adjust pressure and get different reactivity rates? Because if not, I will just buy a preset and save myself alot of money. Do any of you know where I can buy a new adjustable tank for cheap and what is the tank called? Thanks.

You can pick up a 68/3000 flatline for around $200.
Some people use preset tanks and like them, its just a matter of preferance.

I've never seen a 68/3000 psi flatline for $200. Where is this?

you can also lower/increase incoming PSI by around like 50 psi with a good aftermarket regulator, not the one inside the mag valves... i lowered mine to 750 psi, shoots very fast!

Some site in that dealers corner thing has them for that, if they still have any in stock.

So if I bought a tank with an input pressure of 850 psi, would that be too much? And by the way, most preset tanks, what is the psi they come in, anywhere from 750-850?

Paintballgames.com has the flatlines for $200, saw them earlier today.

If you have a retro or an RT it is best to go with an adjustable tank and you do not need an additional aftermarket regulator. All an aftermarket regulator will do is restrict air flow and you do not want that on your RT. You can certainly use a pre-set tank running 850psi as this is about the air pressure you should be running on a retro valve anyway but you will not have the benefit of being able to dial up or down the reactivity of the trigger.

Go with the flatline for $200 it can't be beat at that price.
