Gx cs4 vs tuxing txed m042

The gx cs4 is a 350w motor, much smaller and lighter.

The tuxing is a 2,200 motor, much more powerful but larger and heavier.

What are you planning to use the compressor to fill?

The CS4 will fill to 400 BAR, both will fill tanks, the Tuxing will probably be faster.

The Tuxing is MUCH louder, and vibrates a whole lot more.

With the CS4 being a 4 stage compressor running at a much slower RPM and much cooler, so I would think it would have less wear and should last longer. The Tuxing is 2 stage and runs much faster and hotter. Heat is one of the leading causes of failure.

The Tuxing is a 2 stage compressor with composite rings on the high pressure piston that wear out from heat and high rpms. They are split rings and are fairly easy to replace for someone who is mechanically inclined. The GX is an Omega style compressor that relies on low rpm rubber o-rings as compression seals. This is the most common part requiring rebuilds in Omega style compressors. A number of owners highly recommend Omega compressors. I've never been a fan due to the degree of disassembly necessary to reach these rubber o-rings for replacement. Watch the AofA Youtube Omega rebuild video and draw your own conclusion.

I did own an FX compressor that was the same motorized handpump in a box design as is an Omega. I have owned seven air gun compressors over the years and have repaired an Air Venturi, a Daystate and a Carette. There have been numerous posts over the years about Omega seal failures from owners. There are more durable designs and easier to service compressors for the money than the Omegas IMO.
