Retro Question.

[Bonx0007]

I just got my new retro and I was reading the directions and it says to put no more than 700 psi into the valve however it also says the more pressure you put in makes it more reactive. My question is since i have a preset nitrogen tank at 850 psi will it hurt my new retro valve?
Thanks ahead of time.

usually the factory directions do work best. Im sure it says that putting in more than the suggested ammount of pressure will void warranty. Just a guess. The valve is probably tested to just above 700psi so they cut it down a bit for reassurance. Do what the factory suggests is my point.

Lots of people use preset tanks at 850psi with their Retro Valves. The thing will run all day off of 1000psi input if that's the way you like the trigger to feel. It's not an issue.

cool thanks

Yes, I heard Rob say he likes to put 1100 psi into his RT to give it a really reactive trigger, coupled with a longer pin so it doesn't go runaway like crazy.

You sure anything over 700 psi voids the warranty?

OK Freaky I see you know how to read. How about it was 'just a guess' Feel free to discipline me by beating me over the back with the cane sticks.

lol

Get the stocks out. Let's lock him up for tyranny against AGD. He was spreading false nfo about the warranty policies.

I say we cut off his trigger finger with fishing line.

Seems kind of weird that they say no more than 700 psi in the directions. It's dumb stuff like this that makes people not read directions (maybe a LITTLE bit of lazyness too )

Don't laugh but I'm used to the kids at HPI racing(r/c cars) being like "how many tanks do I need before my engine is broken in"....it gives complete break in proceedure in the instructions that came with the engine, you know? Or what percentage of oil is needed in the nitro...it says 18% in the instrucions. Lol. Just my rant, sorry. I figured if they said 700 psi in the instructions then maybe that would have meant something...go figure

[freakyt]

What percentage of oil is needed in the nitro? Whew, that is one host mother----in engine. 2 hours run time, then you need a new piston/sleeve.

[Failure]

yeah the less oil in the nitro = the leaner and hotter the engine runs = more horsepower. Which also equates to short engine life. Vicious cycle if you ask me.
