I picked up a tank with a Ninja Regulator on it, and after taking it apart, I noticed that I only had one silver shim in there. Is there any way to get another silver shim and the 2 red shims, it's supposed to come with? The guy who sold me the tank, didn't include them with the tank. Thanks!

You can purchase a rebuild kit for $10 through any local store or field that sells Ninja products. The kit includes 2 red shims, 2 silvers shims, a 1.8k burst disk, tools, a pin valve seat, and Piston with orings.

can i use the SLP reg on a drone dx ?

[PAINTBALL 24/7]

i have a 50/4500 ninja tanc and it was in perfect condition until 2day and the 1.8 k screw thing started leaking. i immediatly bought a new 1 and switched them out and the tanc blew that 1 off right when i put air in it, what do u thinc is the problem?

[PAINTBALL 24/7]

also must the 1.8 k screw be a ninja screw or could it be any company?

i have a 50/4500 psi ninja tanc and the 1.8 k screw on the tanc started leacing today, i then repaced it an it immediatly started leaking again.i was wondering what the problem could be also if u have to switch the screw with a ninja screw or if it could be any company.

Leaking? Is it a slow leak like its not sealing properly, or a fast leak like its venting the pressure? When was the last time you cleaned/serviced your regulator? Being that you've tried two LP burst disks, it sounds like you might have gotten a dirty fill and got some type of contaminant in your regulator. The LP burst disk is designed for both personal and equipment safety. For example should some dirt get in through your fill nipple it could damage your reg seat, causing the regulator to not regulate the pressures properly and potentially allow the full pressure of the tank to exit the tank and enter the marker... The LP disk shoudld start venting to prevent that from happening.

I'm sure Rob or one of the other air gurus will chime in, but I would personally clean out the reg and do a rebuild. Ninja has some pretty good videos out there detailing the maintenance of their products.

Good luck

Alright thancs, im gonna try to do that right now.

If memory serves me correctly, I believe the MacDev guns function better on a mid-range output pressure. I could be wrong though. When I had me Clone Vx it shot like a champ with my MP550 reg, but would not full cycle or reach velocity with my SLP.

As tniz suggested above, your best bet is to clean your regulator out as you more than likely got some dirty fills that are causing pressure spikes within you reg.

Degas your system first of all. Once you have degassed the system, unscrew the two grub screws that secure your bonnet in place on the regulator. Once you have done that take the reg removal tool and loosen the bonnet, you can use your hands in most cases but the tool helps if you cannot get it to budge. If you did not buy the tank new and did not get a reg removal tool then your best bet is to use something rubbery to get a good grip on the bonnet and loosen it that way. Once you have the bonnet off the regulator body, carefully remove all the internals taking note of the order in which they came out. The shims can go back in in any order, but the rest of the internals need to be installed as they were for the reg to function properly. Take a clean cloth and wipe everything down as best you can and use a q-tip or similar item to get into the smaller areas of the reg. Re-lube all the internals with a small amount of grease (Dow33, Dye Slick, SP Sleek etc.) and reassemble the regulator and secure the grub screws. This should do the trick man.

am i able to add shims to the SLP to change the output pressure on the reg ?

Unfortunately you are not able to. The GS Series Regulators (SHP, SMP and SLP) use a Belleville Spring Stack as opposed to the adjustable regulator's spring and shim configuration. The GS Series are carefully hand built with the Belleville Spring Stack to achieve the exact pressure they are advertised to output.

On the same not, you cannot remove the internals of a GS Series Regulator and drop in the standard adjustable components as all Ninja regs are hand built and tested for quality assurance.

Hi, I have recently acquired a Ninja 48/3000 tank and A new Proto Reflex.
What output pressure should I set my Ninja Regulator to for this marker?
I think it says on Proto website it operates at 150PSI and the "low" setting on the ninja regulator is 450-550PSI, "high" is 900PSI.
Confused if my output even matters???

I think you are confusing your input pressure and operating pressure. The operating pressure is the pressure at which you marker operates AFTER it goes through your HPR (and LPR in some cases). Your input pressure is the pressure of air from tank to HPR before being regulated down. For the rail, I would suggest taking out one of the red shims (medium OP pressure) at first and seeing how that works. If it works out fine then try removing the other red shim (low OP pressure) but pay close attention to shoot down and inconsistencies at the chrono.

[wtfh4xx]

SO the regulator pressure has nothing to do with operating pressure correct?
Just running a SLP regulator will allow you to get more shots at the same consistency because its set to 275psi and will shoot until the tank reaches that pressure, correct?
Whereas a 800psi reg would start losing consistency when tank reaches around 800psi?

Would you recommend I use a 68/4500 with SLP Regulator on my Proto Reflex?

[tniz]

There are other factors that you'll need to take into consideration when choosing your tank. Theoretically, a SLP should be more efficient as you'll be able to shoot your tank down to a lower pressure; however, some guns don't operate at pressures in the SLP range and experience poor performance. Some regulators can't recharge fast enough and the marker will experience shoot down, and some markers just require a higher pressure in order to operate.

Yes, the two pressures are separate of each other. To my knowledge none of the makers Dye makes are able to properly run on the SLP reg, they run best at either MP or HP. I could be wrong on the SLP, but I am fairly certain they cannot.

Can I use loctite or another kind of threadlock on a straight fitting for my gun's regulator instead of teflon tape?

[TwitchyFinger]

I got an NT 11 and want to buy a ninja tank but im not sure wherther I need the adjustable reg, UL, SLP, or SHP regs. I do know that the NT is known for operating at lower psi's than other guns. It operates between 110-150 psi. so my question is, does this mean a SLP reg ninja tank would work best?

We have not done any testing on a Drone or any macdev markers yet. This question should probably be asked in the Macdev forums. Best bet is to borrow someones slp system, attach it to a drone dx and see if you can chrono at 280-300fps. As long as it chronos at the velocity you need and as long as you dont run into any shootdown, you can use it.
