Has anyone else had problems with them wearing out?...I have emailed Tech T twice with NO reply,seems that after the sale they dont want to discuss warranties. anyone else?????

I'm on my 3rd. They seem to last about 20 caes of paint. Call them on the phone they replaced mine evertime. The tippmann plastic rachets only lasted me a case of paint.

FA,

Call TechT at 865-539-3773 and ask for Tim Coulter. He's the Vice Pres of the company. We've been a dealer for them for a while now and I've installed a bunch of the Cyclone mods, cam, axle and rod, and had no returns. And a few of my team mates have the mod with no problems. We haven't had any problems with TechT ourselves. Maybe this will help you.

Also, JCS makes the same kind of axle/ratchet mod. Theirs has super heavy duty bearings and may last a bit longer.

AND! We also took a cue from the X7 at the shop. One of the team members, "Hitman" removed the rod housing and put it on the drill press, drilling holes like the X7 has to act similar to a QEV. It does work! I can't wait to get my hands on an X7 valve and put it in an A-5. Should SMOKE!

Good luck!
