I officially hate them.
The 10s? The NTs are just so damn expensive lol.

If you use good batteries and quality macroline, you won't have a problem.

I say go with either an older ego or a clone

Brand new Battery's Duracell to be exact. The Ego8 was turning off on me and the other ego kept blowing holes in the macro.

I must say though the Sl66's are very nice and feel good. But i would choose a clone over an ego.

I've seen the power failure issue in several of those Eclipse guns, almost all of which have a boot-up sequence instead of "instant-on". I can't tell for sure, but it seems like folks are accidentally pressing their power buttons in game, or shaking the gun enough to jostle the battery out of place. Some of those prongs need a little adjustment, and some boards simply need to be screwed in completely. Pretty finnicky, for sure.

The NT is pricey, but I they fit in your hands SO well. A tad short for some people, so until you get used to it you'll be shooting with a bit of a lob, but a phenomenal gun overall.

I really like Cyborgs, and specifically RX's, but the Clone is also interesting.

Currently, my only machine gun is a PM8, and while I haven't fully broken it in and tweaked it, I think I'll be keeping it long enough to do so.

I just don't like the idea of purchasing a platform that I have no experience with and would hate to try and resell it.

I had an '07 and that thing was a hoss.

Mee, Have you shot a clone extensively?

But i must say The Geo rite now is the most comfortable gun ive held so far and they shoot very nice IMO.

Efficency is one of my biggest things. I like small tanks so I like to get the most shot possible.

I've been reading, seems the '09 had all the problems due to the new noid. They are saying the 10s are running fine.

Geo2 you say?
