 |
|
| Quote: | The NEW Tippmann cyclone feed upgrade parts allow the cyclone feed to load faster and put out balls like never before. The combination of these parts will turn your maker into the ultimate war machine. The Tippmann Cyclone Feed Metal Upgrade Kit is Teflon coated aluminum internals that replaces the stock plastic internals of the Tippmann
Cyclone feed. This upgrade kit provide the higher performing internals for the cyclone feed to allow the loader to keep up with the marker when shooting full auto. The upgrade kit is designed for faster, smoother and more durable parts needed for feeding upward of 30+ balls per second and continue to delivery paintball into the chamber under extreme fast and furious shooting.
This Tippmann Cyclone Feed Soft Paddle is designed to assist the paintball into the firing chamber with grace. Made to be soft and flexible, the Tippmann Cyclone Feed Soft Paddles keep the ball flowing into the chamber without compromising the paintball shell integrity to prevent breaking, chopping and cutting.
The Tippmann Cyclone Feed Piston Rod is designed with the brass bushing, it is made to increase its performance and durability. The Tippmann Cyclone Feed Piston Rod is designed to work in conjunction with the Tippmann Quick Exhaust Piston Housing, and Soft Paddles. .
Tippmann Cyclone Feed Quick Exhaust Piston Housing is designed to rapidly vent the blast of air to help the loader respond time. This will improve the loader performance by increasing speed and efficiency for more rapid trigger cycling.
This is one of the best upgrade for your Tippmann marker to increase the durability and reliability. This aluminum bolt replaces the plastic bolt that comes with your Tippmann marker, it will help your marker increase performance with smooth action. The bolt is made out of aluminum and it will outlast Tippmann marker. |

I picked up a set of the squishy paddles for my "new" A-5. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it installed. Hopefully it will help with brittle-shelled paint.
I'm not a big fan of all the other cyclone mod stuff- those ported tubes let paint and other crap gunk up the shaft, and unless you actually put out 20bps the stock one doesn't have any trouble keeping up. The ratchet "upgrades' are only needed if you manage to break a lot of ratchets, which generally only happens after you put, like, 20 cases of paint through the cyclone. The only people on this team playing and/or shooting enough to need an HD ratchet is OldDog's clan- and they don't use Tippmanns. If you are breaking ratchets more often than that, you are doing it wrong, and chances are you'll install the ratchet upgrade wrong and break that, too.
If you have an A-5 and want to upgrade, the first thing to get is a J&J barrel. I like the 10" Ceramic, but 12s are nice, too- anything longer just shows you are feeling inadequate elsewhere. The next thing to get is a Palmer Stabilizer. This will let you turn down your operating pressure to about 650 psi, and dial in your FPS more consistently. Once you have the regulator, you can replace your power tube with a JCS Gold- which is the only one shown to actually perform better than the stock one.

Squishy paddles I have on the or one of the dt a5's. They help with the non break of paint. I had them on the a5 I sold before the dt and it was great on there.
One thing to watch on the cyclone up grade.....I did it and the marker was thrown off on the running of it. I had to send it back and tippmann made the adjustments for me and the thing shot like clock work. I believe they had to cut the spring on the plunger to make it work with the upgrades.
So right now the only thing I am going to chage on the other a5 on the dt is the squishy paddles. Just my 2 cents
