Can you heat a co2 ram ?

[mute]

Well it worked fine for us for 3 years

[Kenny]

you normally have around between 1 hour and more normally betwwen fights it should defost them selfs in that time with the heat in the halls

[john]

iv seen some robots have a hair dryer on between fights to heat up there ram

my dad dont bother n just says its going to be frozen after 1 flip anyway

[geeza]

Hairdryers were banned last year due to useing too much power from the pits as well as makeing bottle pressure to high.

I liked the idea of an expansion tank from Woody also the 6mm pipe idea from Dave,so i thought this would be good to try?

I will fit it between the co2 tank and the manifold.The idea is to slow the fill rate, act as a anti syphon,and also because of the pipe lenth be a kind of buffer befor filling the main buffer.
At the shop i also bought some paintball lubricant that they use for servicing the guns,not so much oil,more watery stuff.I tried a little on the piston an it defiantly is better to manualy pull the piston up and push it down.

fat bobs is bout 3 miles away from me, i didnt know you were close

IMHO ....The piston / O Ring should be a very light / loose fit in the ram bore.

[andrewmahoney]

No the piston has always been very tight,two hands and a twisting action to pull up,now its a lot easier.
maybe thats my prodlem?? i hope so.Just a bit of oil.

[andrewmahoney]

Sorry Kenny,
No where near.Blackpool.We went on sat..nice guy,he was saying co2 is old hat now.. all new kit runs on 5000psi hp air,not sure why.
mayde our sport will follow?

at 1st beauty was tight - my dad took the o ring off and it was alot better - that was the old ram

he has done similar to the new one to - put some oil in but i thought it wasnt flipping as good as it was at the RR event
