Get the tank, there's no reason to upgrade the board. Upgrading the tank will get you a lot more games between fills.

thanks, and whats the differences between all the 68/4500 ninja tanks? some are ultra lite regulator and some are not, their prices are different and i have no clue which one is the right one. please make some suggestions please

[paintballguy2255]

The only real 2 differences are weight and the option of adjusting the location of the gauge and fill nipple on the tank.It is better just to go ahead and spend the extra $20 IMO.

Adjustable Regs are good also, I have one and it gets the job done. I think it would be worth the money to get the pro reg to be totally honest with you.

okay thanks for the help and whats the difference between the black and grey tank? is there none

[A&MBaller]

there isn't a difference at all. I would suggest the black tanks though, black is always your best bet.

and the tank your recommending works for my etek 3. it says on the tank description that the output pressure is 1100psi, wont that break my selenoid???

[A&MBaller]

It will work fine with your gun, trust me.

okay, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it

[Rotozip2]

The only Ninja tank that outputs that high of pressure is the Ninja SHP reg, any of the adjustable regs will come set at around 800- 850 psi.

[slinkyaroo]

Definitely the tank first. It's practical while the board is personal.

My son has an ETEK 3 AM and loves it! The only "up-grade" he did was a a Violent Series .681 Shaft 3 barrel back. Going underbore from the stock .693 sewer pipe, raised the velocity from 275 to 315 - 320 fps. Once he dialed it back to 280 the ETEK was much quieter, smoother and much more efficient. So efficient that he almost always plays with his 45/4500, unless he is playing back in speed-ball, when he uses his 68/4500. He gets a full Rotor and 5 pods with air to spare. Now he is 6ft. tall, so he likes the 45/4500 because it is nearly the same length as the 68/4500, but much lighter and less bulky. Not sure of your height and weight, you my like the 50/4500 if you are not as tall.

So the first thing we did was underbore, from there he had options for his tank size.

As for tanks, they are similar, we have the Critical tanks, we like the dimentions and the lightness. The important thing is the regulator - get a Ninja Pro!

Not sure why you would change the board, if you do, get the PE Emortal board, it will install in the AM without modifications - again, that would come after barrel, tank, good pants, good harness and a Rotor.

GOOD LUCK!
