Hi guys
I'm Henry from Argentina

I'm doing some research for buying a new marker for recball. The markers you can get in Argentina are very few, and I won't buy from USA (or other country) because customs's taxes, etc.
Common Markers available here can be seen at:
ht_tp://w_ww.paintballshop.com.ar/index.php?cat=8

So well, after reading reviews, etc. I've decided for this pack:

* Tippmann X7
* Tippmann Flatline X7
* Tippmann Response Trigger Kit
* Remote with Slide Check

I'd like to know:

1) Is the remote ok? or should I use it without remote? Why?

2) no HPA is available here, so: which size should be the tank I should buy for this marker? 20oz? 12oz? (having seen point 1)

3) Would u recommend me another marker -from the site I gave ya-? why?

Thanks a lot in advance.
I want to begin playing with my own equipment and this will be a very big investment, therefore I don't want to buy something bad...

Hope you can help me.
I'm going to confirm my buy just after I get some help here.

See ya, Henry

PS: I thought my question would be ok to be posted in recball forum

A remote is basically just to lose the weight of the tank from ur gun so u could put the tank on ur back...if u were to get a 20oz tank(which is good if u want to hold as much cO2 as possible) then u might want to get the remote if u really dont like the weight of ur gun with ur tank...if u get a 12oz tank then u might not need the remote because it would be lighter than the 20oz but the downside with the 12oz is that u wont get as many shots as u would with the 20oz and u would have to refill more often.

My recomendation is a 20oz tank w/ a remote because you'll be able to get more shots, won't have to refill as often as a 12oz and weight wont be an issue since you have a remote

I'm pretty sure the X-7 is a new marker from Tippman so I really couldn't tell you if its a better marker than the A-5 since I haven't used either..the only marker I've used on that site is the Ion but I wouldn't recommend that since you can only use cO2 which can damage an Ion

Thanks TheBeastLyJaTT for your recommendation
You're right, but I think I'll have to buy a vest or chest protection where I can carry the tank, and this is not an item very common here

I'll wait for X7 users, so I have opinions about the marker in general, and the add-ons I decided to buy for it

Thanks

Ok, Everything beast said about remotes and tanks. Chest protection is overrated, you can just get a 4+1 pod pack they are more comfortable, TRUST ME. As for the X7 its a nicer version of the A5 with more available upgrades. Its got its ticks that are better than the A5 but overall its just a cooler looking A5. flatline barrels, also overrated. I say, if you have the money and you look to do a little customizing in the future go with the X7, if you are spending your life insurance to buy this, then go with an A5. And just to answer a few questions that I formed in your head, the only things the X7 really has over the A5 is better air usage and lighter weight. But its up to you not us.
