What air compressor do you guys use?
Which air compressor do you guys use to clean your buggy?
I was looking at this http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ec...&storeId=10051
Man, that thing sure get a lot of bad review. But it looks so portable. Also what is the recommended PSI to produce a good clean up and not going to blow the whole buggy away?

I picked up this one for 110 bucks but that's in Australia.

Does a great job at about 100-110 psi.

Here is one from Harbor-Frieght that I bought and works okay. I wasn't going to spend a lot on one that is going to get abused at the track. Plus they have a pretty good waranty plan where you just bring it back for a new one.

I use this one for the track:
http://www.lowes.com/pd_361263-79992...o=PORTER-CABLE
It's pretty decent with 150psi. Small tank though so it runs a lot while cleaning, but has a decently quick recovery to it. I used to have a 3 gallon Craftsman, but it was LOUD and slow to recover.

without a doubt The Quiet Zone air compressor by All Power. Plenty of power, as quiet as a dishwasher.

I had a cobalt 5.5 gallon for a few years, it was nice and reliable, though the air pressure didn't last long.
Just got this one though: http://www.lowes.com/pd_340271-43657...sor&facetInfo=
I like it a lot so far. Good quality, and the 200 psi is great! It lasts much longer than the old one. It is a little loud though, only complaint so far.

Buy the one in the link you posted. I have one and its great. Its better then a lot of the other ones out there because it is 150psi. Its only downfall is its noisy as hell. I dont know how long Ive had mine but its been years. After a couple years the o-ring seal on the outlet tube off the head of the compressor started leaking. I found a place that sells parts online and was able to fix it myself which is another big plus IMO.

i also went the Harbor Freight route:

Pretty quick recovery, which was the most important feature for me...
