A-5 Flatline + Qev + Vortex + Rampage ?

1sr yes this is my first post to the board, but I have owned my A-5 for over 2 years and know the A-5 inside and out. Thus far stock internals, Flatline, E-grip, M4 stock.

My main question is how well does the Qev, Vortex, Rampage,(all ordered) work with the Flatline, can the flatline handle the increase in BPS???

Next is aluminum power tube worth getting??? I would like to here from people who have actually seen or have had broken stock power tubes.

Does the Qev, Vortex, Rampage cause more power tubes to fail???

Getting the Tippmann Exp Chamber will it help from freezing due high volume of automatic fire??? (I know about the palmer stablizer but I don't have the cash?


I have seen many videos online of the Qev, Vortex, Rampage running and must say, I am extremly impressed.

With these upgrades feel free to list anything else I might need.

why does everyone think that the vortex speeds up your cyclone... revoxt you dont even have it so how do you know i have a qev and the vortex the vortex just makes it so your cyclone operates at a lower pressure... so when your tank is low the cyclone stays on tell almost the end of the tank

Thanks for your assumption of thinking, I am under the impression of the Vortex speeding things up, but I do not.

My main reason for adding it in the thread was due to the fact I have ordered it.

Now that I am forced to explain myself, from what I have read and have heard from other actual A-5 users, is that the Vortex has better internal cyclone parts. Knowing that the increase BPS from THE QEV & RAMPAGE, I thought I would upgrade all internals just in case the stock plastic internals could not take increase in speed.


Rambino thanks for answering my question plain and simple.

I was under the impression that the Vortex mod was a ratchet replacement, because the stock ratchet wears out fairly quickly under prolonged high-speed firing.  I had no idea it also reduces the cyclone's operating pressure.  A bonus if I may say!

well thats a bunch of crap because i was one of the first to get this mod on this site... sorry you wernt on here when the topic first came up... and i have an egrip so i can acturately tell how many bps i am doin and i can only do 20bps with a vortex and qev... and what in that vortex kit makes it so much faster... ive done the mod have you??

ya i did... and when you do prove it that will be great i will love to see the video
