Re: whats wrong

there is a limit to the a5's rate of fire, with all those upgrades you could easily be shooting 30+ bps at a certain point the cyclon just doesnt get enough air.

Re: whats wrong

Or depending on what paddles you have, they are probably slipping causing the cyclone not to feed. What does "stop working" mean?

Re: whats wrong

Yes let us know what your high fire rate is. I know I cant get over 20 BPS before i run into problems.

I have all the equivalent TechT upgrade for my cyclone but I don't have the 1/8th hose. I have not been able to reliably go over 23 bps without chopping balls all over the place. Could the hose allow me to raise my rof?

Re: whats wrong

If you have the TechT squishy paddles you might have a first generation version of them as they had issues. replace them with your stock paddles and see if you still have the problem.

You should be able to get a slightly higher ROF with the larger hoses. we call it the Super RT.

Re: whats wrong

2 Things. If the squishy paddles are older or the first release, they could be getting caught on your reciever (this has happened to me).

Sometimes the cyclone stalls with too much air. If your banjo fittings are too large, try smaller ones and vice versa.
