GX CS4 long term review

[@sunnysouthtwin]

thanks for the update as I was ready to pull the trigger on the gx cs4 now I can have the inverter built in.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

The built in inverter is sweet! If you use my associate link in the description it helps support the channel ☺️

[@kricketkricket6737]

​​@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 dear you think gc4 or yong heng smart digital the best?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I'd go for the GX CS4-I for sure

[@Twigz11]

Thanks for the info. After getting a Yong Heng and filling a 68ci bottle once to 3.8k psi it had a massive leak from I think the cylinder gasket the next time i went to use it. Returning it and going with the Cs4i, I don't want compressor maintenance to be the main portion of the hobby.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I hear you on that one! Yong hengs were great back in the day, but I much prefer these. If you use my link it supports my channel at no cost to you 🙂

[@davidsettles5706]

Thanks. An hour meter would be a wonderful addition and I just missed the new model, so there ya go.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Agreed! I'm hoping to get the new model on the channel soon.

[@deanbarrow89]

What grease do you use , can you show how this is topped up as well , be interesting to see video of correct procedure

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

This stuff! amzn.to/3Sj7T4D I don't have a video for that, but I'll make one this week for you. Stay tuned!

[@TangDynasty1983]

Thanks for the video. Overall it's a good product, but I noticed that the gauge on my unit is not accurate at all. I set it at 300 bar but it stopped when the meter on my gun reached 250 bar. Do you have the same problem with yours?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I haven't noticed that - I would reach out to the seller and request a new gauge, it should be easy to install. It could also be your gun.

[@faraci5617]

I just received my cs4 and noticed it had been previously filled with water and still had a little in the bottom of the tank.Is that normal?Do they test these units at the manufacturer prior to shipping or something?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I believe so, mine had a little water as well. I wouldn't be concerned.

[@johnsessions1389]

Will this fill a 5 litre scuba dive bottle to 200 bar Thank You

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Absolutely!

[@barryhallsack8852]

I'm about to order this compressor. This is going to be my first air gun. How to curiosity, why did you get rid of the leshiy 2? This is the air gun that I'm about to order. I'm a little hesitant because it's $3,000 😮.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

TLDR, it was a great gun, but so expensive. It's maybe twice as good as a "regular" airgun, but 3-5x the price. When I was shooting it every day I could justify it, but I've been shooting more rimfire and center-fire and wanted to Invest the money into other things. Accessories are also incredibly expensive, and it's all proprietary.

[@barryhallsack8852]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 yeah I'm primarily buying this to Target shoot in my yard without pissing my neighbors off and some pest control. Thanks for the honesty. With that being said, I think I'm going to shop for a cheaper air gun. My friend makes fun of me for trying to spend three thousand dollars on an air gun and tells me to buy a honey badger or a jackal and go to Walmart and buy a brake barrel pellet gun 😂. I guess I'm just a sucker for tactical stuff. I think that's why I like the leshiy 2 so much! Thank you for the reply.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I was disappointed by the noise level of the leshiy, even with the behemoth moderator and shroud. The stock benjamin marauder is much quieter. I'll probably put a donnyfl or something on it just to make it whisper quiet. Tactical is fun! there are cheaper tactical ones out there as well. I actually sold my leshiy and bought a Geissele setup like a honey badget haha. PCP pellet guns are still great though. I'm posting an unboxing of a budget one tonight actually.

[@barryhallsack8852]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 Nice! I will watch the unboxing video. I found a Huban k1 on AGN I think I might try to buy it. It's a pretty good deal. I've read a lot of good things about those guns.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Nice! I'm not familiar with those, but sounds like a good one!

[@Sw1tchTube]

Yo moose, My cs4i has a squeak when filling I got a video but not sure where to post it. It's not all the time but fairly consistent. It sounds like air. I prob only have a little over and hour run time. Any ideas?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Sounds like your bleed valve is probably open - double check that. Are you seeing slow fill times?

[@Sw1tchTube]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 From 800 psi to 4500 was 23 mins so I dont think so, and the bleed valve was closed

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Ya that seems normal. Might need some grease - double check your manual and see if you should turn the grease dial a little bit when you first get it.

[@Cien_Swiatla]

Who is the manufacturer of these pumps?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I'm not sure on the manufacturer, but they are imported by a company called GX. I have occasionally seen them branded as other companies as well.

[@Cien_Swiatla]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 thx🙂

[@TargetForge]

The motor is not different on the I version.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Appreciate the correction! I mixed up the CS3 motor and the CS4.

[@Sw1tchTube]

Yoo I'm having issues with my cs4i not filling up the coolant as far as it needs to be. I csnt get it to overflow

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Is it leaking out the bottom somewhere?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

I'd pop the case off(just the black metal screws) and see if one of the hoses came loose.

[@Sw1tchTube]

@Themightymooseoutdoor87 so I confirmed the pumps circulating. I can see the antifreeze cycling up top where you fill the tank, I see the coolant circulating with the case off. Lines are full. But it seems no matter how much I put in the water tank it doesn't overflow to the line at the bottom on the front of the case. So how do I know when it's full?

[@Sw1tchTube]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 no leaks

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

If there aren't any leaks anywhere, I'd keep filling to it gets to the fill line. Remember it's not just filling the tank, it's also filling the pump and hoses. Triple check you don't have any leaks though

[@Hangs4Fun]

I thought CS4 has 2 handles on top?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

The CS4 I does (the model with an inverter)

[@Hangs4Fun]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 aaaah, interesting

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Ya I think it's a good improvement though. I would definitely take the CS4-I over this one. Better construction and built in inverter. I have a video and link to that one as well

[@julieoliver8170]

Can it fill up a 900 cc tank.

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Yup! Just don't run it longer then 30 minutes at a time IMO. I would check out my video on the CS4-I - it's a the improved model with an integrated inverter

[@jessefincham8899]

@@Themightymooseoutdoor87 I thought u said it’ll run 4/5 hours?

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Oh sorry my bad, you're right - sorry I thought this comment was on a video of one of the smaller pumps.

[@jacobstamm3594]

yes, works great. used mine on a 2l tank. 0-3000PSI in 44 minutes.

[@stedyone1090]

Love mine😮

[@Themightymooseoutdoor87]

Good to hear!

[@dogdipstick]

Its not an " inverter". Its a DC power supply. Lol. Ive been looking at the machine to buy and EVERY ad says " INVERTER" and its NOT. It is a DC power supply lol. Anyway, I went with the JTS big guy that looks just like this one.. must be a clone. Water cooled 6200psi rated.
