Are Warps good to go out of box?

[The Mag Man]

?

I won't have to mess with any settings or anything when I first get this will I? It SHOULD be ready to go as soon as I open it. Or will I have to oil up the wheels or anything like that?

[Kevmag]

I used mine right out the box

I didn't change any settings (dwell, sensitivity, ect) and w/ a 9V battery and intellifeed to EMAG, it turns the recommended 1/4 turn per shot.

No problems with PMI Premium (Advantage Shell) but I've only fired a few hundred rounds through it.

Kayle at AGD said it's best to put a battery in it, turn it on, and run it until the battery is completely drained. Everything should then be nicely broken in and it'll be more consistant than if you start putting paint through it immediately.

stay away from the 9v

i got a warp feeder
first day i ran it till the batteries died
then i put it on my RT
then just dialed it it
total labor involved like 2 hours

works like a champ just make sure if youi get one you replace the drive belt every now and then so it doesnt slip

they are totally cool though
revy or halo on top just feels weird after using a warpfeed for a while

shooting over bunkers is fun again and shooting upside down also very cool when clearing tunnels at renegade fields

What do you mean stay away from the 9 volt?
And what do you mean "just dialed it in"
And what did you do that took two hours on it?

[Kevmag]

what is recommended

what is the recommended usaged before "replace the drive belt every now and then so it doesnt slip"???

A few things:

You want to take a cheap 9V you have laying around and put it in the Warp, turn up the sensitivity all the way and let it run until the battery drains. This breaks in the carbon brushes in the motor so they don't spark and create electrical noise that can interfere with the vibration sensor.

Once you've got it broke in, mount it on your gun, position it with the Revy where you like it and then tighten down all the mounting screws. Now gas it up and fire it a few times. Adjust the blue dial down until it stops spinning when you shoot it and then turn it up a bit past that and it should be fine. Just make for certain that it's spinning on every trigger pull.

Set your jumpers so you have two vertical in the block of four on the left side of the Warp board.

Make sure there's no casting flash in the ends of the hose and that your adapters are on all the way so you don't have a gap inbetween the hose and the adapter. Also, make sure you press in the adapter all the way that goes in the Warp to connect the hose.

Also, what I do is disconnect the Warp drive belt after each day of play so that it's not constantly being stretched when it doesn't need to be. This allows them to last longer and maintains plenty tension on the pulleys.

Hey black, I was wondering, can you get a brushless motor the size that would work in a warp? I know they are much more expensive but dont they operate more efficently and easier to make them run faster?

[superccs]

well the warp comes with a AA cartidge

i use the cartidge because its more consistant and it last longer+i have rechargable AA's that i use which = less $

i lost the instructions right off the bat so it took longer to figure out

i replaced my belt after 6 months cause it started slipping

i left mine on the pulley = dumb idea


i love it though so compact it should be illegal

The warp comes with a AA cartridge, mine did'nt come with one.

[davej946]

Mine either. Maybe it's just the ProTeam warps?

PLEASE take the time to read your Warps instructions and set it up properly. Black pretty much outlined what you need to do.

I would venture to say that 90% of the people out there complaining about warp feeds are people who took it out of the box and slapped it on thier gun. That is NOT the way to do it. Read the instructions, and set it up the right way. A teammate of mine was too lazy to do so, and he missed a good hour of playtime setting it up at the field because of problems.

My didn't either. I just use a 9 volt. I even saw Tom put a 9 volt in his warp. They can't be all that bad!

[superccs]

my warp was one of the first that AGD released

i do not have a proteam Warp...

you guys didnt get the AA cartridge??

weird

[RATM]

I just got my AGD warp the other day, no AA cartridge
