    Running a Myth reg set to 850 psi on a 68/4500 stubby tank. Well so long as it shoots I'll be happy for now. Since I kind of like the way it feels and the possibilities for creating something that suits my style out of all the parts available I may just end up buying a SHP tank from Ninja down the road.

      I have 6 rt classics and each one has a different bounce off the same tank, some are almost too reactive and others wont hardly bounce at all off of a 1200 psi regulator. sear rod adjustment is the second most critical component to make one bounce that I have found. the level 10 requires you to screw the back of the valve in more to make it work and mine pretty much quits working around 1000 psi left in the tank.

      enjoy

        Good collection of RT's! Got any pics of that stable?

          Vintage reminded me. On off pin lingth matters a lot. Most are 0.750. Mine is actually 0.744. So that could be a big part of the difference in rt effect.

              Can I adjust the pin length? I looks like it is threaded.

                You are probably talking about sear rod?

                This is on/off pin. Adjustment happens by slowly grinding it down.. Or you can just order the length you want from Tuna.

                  Yes. A shorter on off pin will give more reactivity. BUT its a fine line getting the reactivity you want. And making it uncontrollable. My personal classic rt has always had a 0.744 pin.

                    Ok loads I don't know/understand then. How would I go about tuning my Classic RT to RT better? I know SHP would probably be the simplest way to go about it making it more reactive but I don't have the funds to buy a new tank or reg.

                      Safest, and probably easiest as well, would be buying few different sizes from Tuna. At very least I would get a backup pin in case you shortened the current too far and got uncontrollable valve.

                        ...by increasing the output pressure of the tank, is the proper way to do it.

                          Yes that is correct. I wouldn't have brought up the pin at all if someone else hadn't commented on multiple RTS that all act different. The pin is a major culprit in that. But is most deffinately not considered a standard method of gaining rt effect. Personally I would not wasn't a shorter pin than what I have now. To many potential problems can come with a short pin.

                            Ok I figured the proper way would be upping my input pressure but 850 is what I have to work with now. Guess I'll just have to sell stuff or save up and buy a new tank.

                              If your tank is still ok, you can just put the SHP reg on it. Unless it's a 3k tank.

                                If you mean the way the RT quits, I really like that feature. When you are really pushing paint, it makes a good "low level" alarm. Then you have a hundred or two rounds before empty that you can try to defend yourself with or get a replacement when you have a nice spot (which is why you were going through the paint anyway).
