Can't Decide On A Tank

[TommyThunder]

I've been trying to find the best lp tank for my speed05 in the $200 give or take $20. I have no idea what to go for. I'm a front player and need something that I can play tight w/ but that will also give me a lot of shots. I'm looking at stubbies in 70/4500 range. I need a tank immediately because I need it by about wednesday of next week. Could someone please help me find a good tank? If possible I would really like a fiber stubby I just don't know what brand and all that good stuff. So if you can please give me some suggestions.

Crossfire LP if you want a preset, any Macdev conquest or even the X-Stream Nitro Duck if you want adjustable. Only problem is right now there is a shortage of aluminum so many manufacturers are on back order for their tanks and regs. Good luck.

[TommyThunder]

Oh, so thats almost all tanks are backordered. Well this is a great time for this to happen,lol. Thanks for the quich response also. Would you reccomend a stubby or just a fiber wrapped 68/4500 Crossfire?

If you're front I reccomend a Crossfire 45/45 LP preset tank.

Straight up man. I use a 68 personaly, but have been thinking about a 45 solely because of the weight issue. A gun feels so much lighter with a 45ci tank. And since you play front, a crossfire LP preset 45/45 will be perfect. Nitroduck tanks are good too, and maybe lighter then crossfire tanks..not sure. :notsure:

[TommyThunder]

The only reason I'd be hesitant about a 45/45 is because the only place I can fill nitro is about 45min. away, thats why I need the best shots per fill to weight ratio that I can get. What do you guys think about this tank? http://www.paintballoutlet.com/detail.asp?pid=124781 . Its been outta stock everywhere I've gone but here I beleieve it just came back in. And what kind of tank cover would fit this tank? (would a dye 68 rhino fit?)

[Doctor]

thats the tank i have and dye makes a cover for it called the peanut....http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=b9_BYgwnKEXBnU5osNwBygbuyp90vqOIHqo=?Pro ductID=SDvAqArbbsYAAAD_kTpHHcI7# i also recommend changing out the guage for a smaller one.

[TommyThunder]

Do you think that that site is reliable for it. I'm just worried because every site I've found is out of stock and I'm just curious how this one has them. Because I need the smallest tank to shot ratio I'll definitely be getting a stubby. Right now I'm looking at a Centerflag 70/45 stubby, any opinions on these?

[P8ntSlinger44]

the crossfire website has dimensions if I remember correctly. But mayeb they dont. www.crossfireinc.com

[Doctor]

that site doesnt have them it says "preorder only"

[TommyThunder]

Man I'm totally confused... Could a 45/4500 Crossfire lp preset tank get me about 1000 shots? is the speed05 that efficient?

[Koolborderxtrme]

i have a 68/4500 lp plasma nitro duck, light and works good

[TommyThunder]

The only thing w/ a normal 68/45 is that I want a tank thats smaller than that. That's why I'm looking at stubbies and things of that nature. If Iwas playing front and had a normal 68/45 tank and was shooting w/ the tank used kind of like a stock would the tank put the gun too far in front of me?

[Doctor]

u get about a 1000 shots out of the 70/4500

[TommyThunder]

Dang, then I won't be able to get enough outta a 45 then. I don't know what I'm going to do, I might just end up getting a normal 68/45 CF lp fiberwrapped preset. I'm just not sure anymore.

[Doctor]

eh...... but doesnt the 70 get u more shots than a 68? and isnt that the deal u want the most shots?

[TommyThunder]

the more shots the better but I also need a good tank for a front man.

[TommyThunder]

I just ordered a 68/45 CF. Thanks for all your help.

[Doctor]

good luck with it...im sure you will love the crossfire.
