Remote with Expansion Chamber?'s

TiggerV · 05-22-2008, 11:37 PM

Before everyone yells at me, I have gone back through and read the FAQ and now know that I should not be running both an expansion chamber AND a remote. I have using a VM EXC and would rather not have to remove the chamber. What are my options? It acts like it is fully auto (Not cycling properly) I seem to be having the issue mainly when I use my HPA tank (68 cu in, 3000 PSI). It is not as bad with my CO2.

Do I have to take off the Expansion chamber to make it work properly? Is there an easy solution????? I am no airsmith, and I can normally operate a screwdriver with minimal injuries…..

HELP!!!!!!!!

an expansion chamber with a remote won't cause any problems with co2. i've never done the expansion chamber hpa thing. no need for one with hpa.

It's anti-siphons and remotes that don't mix. Ex Chambers are fine.

The EC might restrict the flow of HPA, and creating a bottleneck that is choking off the FPS.

As said above, anti-siphons, and remotes don't mix. TO a lesser extent, EC's, and regs can also have issues creating a "heat trap" effect, but thats not really an issue here either.
