The Lightening Rod is made of 7071 grade anodized billet aluminum which is stronger than any other like it. To reduce drag and friction during operation it utilizes a self lubricating brass bushing. To date we have had ZERO returns on Lightening Rods with our new brass bushing.
Techt Tippmann Upgrades are they worth it?
The Tippmann Cyclone Feed System is probably the best no battery loader system developed over the last 10 years plus in paintball, but it still has limitations when compared with electronic paintball laoders! TechT have developed paintball Upgrades for Tippmann loaders to put them on a level playing field and the the Lightening rod is a great upgrade for any Tippmann cylcone system.The Lightening Rod is designed to work in conjunction with our Vortex Mod and Quick Exhaust Piston Housing. Together, the parts will yield higher rates of fire, and increased air efficiency.
Testing has shown:
1. With the Vortex Mod and Lightening Rod, your cyclone will continue to feed at lower pressures. This means little to no manual feeding when you get low on air.
2. Due to the use of teflon and our modified ratchet and axle design your loader will have less internal friction with each cycle. This means higher potential rates of fire, and less wear and tear.
