Redz used to make a remote pack with the tank offset to the right side, and 140 tubes on the left. I don't know if they still do but it is worth looking in to. One thing to remember when running remote though is that a sturdy, confortable pack may be more important in the long run, than what size tubes it holds. I seriously believe that running remote with a poor quality pack may result in back injury over the years. It is too early to tell but as soon as some of these young kids(or old ones for that matter) put in a few years of play with that tank floping around on their lower back they may regret it. I used a cheap remote pack with 8 100 rnd tubes and a 20oz co2 tank during my first scenario game. Since it was my first game I insisted on being out on the feild the whole time. My back hurt for a week from having all that weight pulling on my shoulders (from the suspenders) I gave up remotes after that.
