would it be possible to take the cyclone off the a-5 and possibly weld a lapco(or some other brand) power feed to the a-5? has n/e one done this? would you reccomend it? thanx! -------------

no one could have done this because you cant weld aluminum.
but puting a regular feed on the a-5 wouldnt be much differant than a 98 custom. the whole point of the a-5 is the cyclone. |

Dont you use a tinker welder or something for aluminium. they weld aluminium all the time on the bike and car shows. ------------- Tippmann A5, Flatline, Combat stock, Remote line, 20oz co2. Gonna get, Low pressure system, palmer stabilizer, HPA tank, E grip, and 16in jj ceramic |

you would have to use a tig welder to do it.
Better yet watch q-loader.com for their new adapter. -------------

i already have a 98c but i just thought it'd be cool to put a power feed on an a-5. my other idea that i have seen done is turn the cyclone side ways and attach the q-loader right to the cyclone. -------------

You want a good example of replacing the Cyclone from the A5, look fer a forumer by the name of Fox Die, he has a thread and the pics of his A5 to accept the Qloader in the marker gallery....infact, one of the pics in the Qloader marker gallery is his A5. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

OK if the cyclone can feed up to 15 balls a second then why would you want to put a powerfeed on it. that is the whole point of the A-5 is because it is already super fast. it would also look stupid if you mod it. buy a 98c if youwant the power feed soo bad. ------------- TPI SNIPER |

I could cast one out of aluminum, or any non ferrous metal, I was thinking about doing it for my own just because it's a pain to clean the cyclone, it would be much easier to just run a swab down and clean everything instead of having a cyclone paint mixer when you break one. I might design one, not too hard and sat it out of aluminum and bake on teflon and use my egg on it. Just another project I may or may not do, I'm moving soon so most of my casting and machining equipment are stored right now. If I do it I'll make a master mold and then if anyone else wants one it wouldn't take much time to fabricate it. |
