Remotes

[ItalianAnaconda]

I am getting ready to purchase a new paintball marker, the T9 Elite, and the package includes a remote for CO2. I have a feeling, like all marker packages, the remote that comes with the marker isnt all that great, so I am looking for a new and better remote. I am wondering what you would suggest as a good remote and what I should look for in a new remote?

IA: For me a remote is a remote. Its all about personal preferance. How you use it.. Some are coiled, some are straight. I'd wait and see what the one comming with you T-9, is like. It might be ok.
Remots do need a "Slide check valve" thats the on and off at the female quick disconect. For me I use a Expantion Chamber on mine when I shoot Co2. Some will disagree, but I beleave that its better to be safe than sorry. Expantion Chambers keep liquid Co2 from you marker valve. Ill bet that gfgjester has some good suggestions for you. I'm sure when he logs in he will chime in to your thread. If I were you I'd wait and see.

I was on the spec ops web store and saw a remote for a decient price beleave it was about $25 + shipping and they have expantion chambers as well. Now Spec Ops is a bit pricy but have very good products, and service. But as always shop around espically your neighborhood proshops first save yourself shipping charges.

I would do that but we have no pro shops where I am at lol. I know that it says I am in Japan but I am actually in the sand box right now if you know what I mean . So all my paintball shoping is going to be done online. Thanks for the info again. If you could, could you give me the web site that you found that remote.

This is the Spec Ops online store they have several remotes listed.
but you do a google search and you'll turn up a whole lot more.
