I used to run 2 viars looped to 10gallons of air with 200psi pressure switch. I was running shockwaves upfront with reg. double bev. bags in the back. Was able to lay it out and fill it all the way back up. Let me know ur set-up.. |

Re: shrader valves 4 days/now want play time
VIAIR will be the way to go for sure. If you just have schrader valves and want something to hook up to that and fill the bags, then a portable is your easiest and cheapest solution.
I would though, look into getting something that you can use later, when you decide to upgrade your system to valves, etc. I would recommend the 400C (or 450C), pressure switch and tank. You can then hook up a coil hose to that with an air chuck, and fill from that. Then, when you decide you want to upgrade to electric valves, you can still use the tank & compressors, etc. |

Re: shrader valves 4 days/now want play time
I suggest one 5 gallon or two 3 gallon tanks and a ViAir compressor.

Re: shrader valves 4 days/now want play time
Heat won't be an issue. If you are concerned of duty cycle then I would go with the 450C which is basically bulletproof. Guys run these in the deserts of Arizona here without issues.

Re: shrader valves 4 days/now want play time
I fabed up a mount for a York compressor, to a 5gal tank under my bed. I flip the switch at 0 Psi and go to 140 psi in a matter of seconds! I could not recommend it more!

Re: shrader valves 4 days/now want play time
I recently upgraded from schraders, I went to a Viair 380C 100% duty/200 psi compressor. I had a 1 gallon tank already, but I need to upgrade to at least a 3 gallon and I used paddle valve switches and gauges for control. I love the set up on the budget I had and it seems to work great. There are pics are more info in my build thread.
