How many outputs does it have? I ordered one along with my lockers and i plan on doing an onboard air setup. Is the compact only good for 2 lockers? Or does it have a 3rd output? I plan on mounting a 5 gallon air tank in the trunk area and having an airline running to it so i can pressurize it when i need. This will allow much shorter airups. I have searched all around and i have been reading different things. Hoping to get a straight answer here. TIA.

 

Mine has two.

Are you certain it is up to the kind of wear and tear of filling a tank? They are really small. I'd be worried about it burning out quickly.

 

The compact compressor is NOT for filling tires.

Yes, i know it is NOT for filling tires, but with an airtank inline it would be fine. However, AxleIke answered my question. So i guess thats it. Maybe i will just carry a portable 5-10 gallon air tank filled with 150psi. That would fill up 4 tires enough. Thanks.

 

No, it wouldn't.

ARB compressors are for lockers.

Air is not an effecient pressure store.

 

ARB compressors are for lockers only IMO.

Want OBA, get a PowerTank or a real compressor like a ViAir, Quik Air or Outback. 100% duty cycle is what I got and it'll air up my tires in 2 minutes or less. 2.5 gallon tank and it'll run the lockers, air up tires, whatever.

So the Compact is a definite no. What about the standard? It even says that it is for airing up tires, airtools etc. in the description on your site. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to clarify.

 

I'm pretty sure that description is straight from the manufacturer, and .47cfm won't run even the weakest air tools, let alone fill a tank in a decent amount of time.

 

Sure, the standard one will "do" it. And it will "do" all those things in the description, but it works best for lockers only.

On a compressor, size does matter.

 

Cool. Thanks guys. For the time being, i will probably just carry a portable 5 gallon or so air tank with 150psi. Those powertanks are sweet but a little pricey. But hell, what am i talking about. I just bought front and rear ARB lockers. Haha.

 

It takes a 20 gal tank at 150 psi to air up 4 tires

Also, at 150 psi, you risk blowing the seals out of the ARB's.

I have the RDCKA (bigger ARB) compressor and it will "do" tires as mentioned above, taking 5-7 minutes each, and I would imagine at some point I risk burning it up.

 

Good stuff. What isnt on Rogers site? Haha. Well, if i didnt air down too much, say only 15/20 lbs (which is still a big help) a small tank would work to a certain extent. If i do do this, this tank will not be connected to the compressor/lockers at all so there will be no worries on blowing any kind of seals.
