Thanks alot for this vid, I have upgraded my ratchet to metal with the squishy pads and for some reason I couldn't get the cyclone to cycle through shots, the cyclone wouldn't turn when the gun was shot. And until I watched your vid I had no idea on how to fix it, when you said to clip the small spring by one coil so it would cycle faster I tried that and it works like a charm now.
lol why do ppl say they have trouble getting out the pins? just use a hammer and gently tap them out. if they rly wont come out, they may be broken. my back two pins broke before
hey i have an a-5 / e-grip and some shitty double trigger, how much a full tech t cyclone kit would help? would i have 2 get a new trigger 2 b able 2shot it fast on semi (which is what most fields alow)
Disregard my comment about cutting the bottom of my low profile x7 hopper...just remembered I ordered the techt double stack squishy paddles so they are a bit higher than the original techt squishy paddles. The New Double-Stack Feature allows for more balls to be in the bottom of the Cyclone Feed. By putting more balls in the bottom of the loader it means that fewer shots will be skipped. Def worth buying these double stacked.
Awesome video, was definately helpful. Only thing is those pins are a pain in the rear to take out...I had to use the TECHT Sav Grease to loosen it up and get them out. TALK ABOUT TOUGH! Other than that the kit works wonders. I don't know about any one else...but i had to cut a bit off the bottom of my low profile x7 hopper so that it wouldn't rub or stop the squishy paddles...any 1 else had to do this? (Tippmann A5)
I asked him the same question yesterday. I don't know what kind of magic KRA has to get those pins out with that little retainer pin. IMPOSSIBLE!! I watched a similar video last night for the RAP4 kit and that guy used a tool that looked like a screwdriver, but it had a small pinhead at the end. Like something you'd shank a fool with in prison. LOL!!
I'm going to Home Depot immediately after work to get one.
I got the whole upgrade kit including the zero kick back hammer for my Project Salvo. Your video was alot of help when i went to do the cyclone changes. Everything was just like how you went about it. Very very helpful. My gun shoots super! Thanks
So i bought an after market hopper upgrade kit from Canada, which was my first mistake, and the seer pins are both to loose on the ratchet can i buy seer pins at my local hardware store or do i have to contact the Canadian based manufacturer for these parts?
Also i got a new power tube casing and installed it but i can hear a faint hiss. Is it leaking and if it is do you have any ideas on how it could be happening?
look at it like this, the 2 plastic parts that are there before the vortex mod will wear out and ur gun will stop loading. with just the vortex mod u won't ever have to replace these parts ever again. The whole entire upgrade will make sure nothing will ever be wrong with ur cyclone feeder and it shoots about 2.7x faster than with the original parts. and u can get the whole kit for 50 bucks on ebay XD
Thank you a TON for making this video. I was sitting here watching it as i put mine together. I watched it before i bought it and thought it would be simple.
Then i got the parts and had no idea what i was doing. BTW the pins to not come out as easily as you showed.
If you don't mind wearing the metal axle and ratchet together and potentially destroying your upgrades you can use it without grease. Please use grease!
it would be a good idea to tear it apart and put some in there not onlly will it let it move easyer but it will reduse the wear and tear on your feeder
mine cyclone feed is cinda fucked. i cant manualy feed it the spring allways goers to the side so the thing you feed it with wont go back and the panddels moves 50% before they stop. i think it works with air. i could only fire one shoot cuz i was love on air. help.
I was hard pressed to get anything above 12bps with my stock cyclone.
TechT claims 30bps with an E-Grip.
I have my R/T + TechT Kit + TUSK trigger set at 14 with no problems. I did have one barrel break in my video test, but the chamber and Cyclone were both clean and shoot through was a breeze while still having adequate accuracy.
ok so i got everything for the compelet cyclone feed system but i can get the little pin out of my ratchet and i have presesed really hard and still nothing i have the squishy paddles and the piston housing and i would like to but on the lighting rod and vortex mod but i cant unless i get thoese little pins please help!!
I have not had any problems with my Complete Cyclone Kit. I am very happy with it. The Lightning Rod works fine for me. I used the RAP4 kit before this, and the rod in that was to long. I was over stroking and miss feeding. Once I installed the TechT kit all my problems went away!
that video save my live kkkkkkkkkk

Does The TechT Cyclone Upgrade Kit works the same as the Rap4 Cyclone Upgrade Kit?

I used the RAP4 kit before I used the TechT kit, and the RAP4 kit is a piece of junk in comparison. Go for TechT. They make a far superior product!

It is recommended by TechT that you cut your spring.
