Shocker NXT or Etek Ego ?

[Lovetone]

a few people have said the shocker is high maintainence, why is this ? do they go t!ts up quite often ? i live 30 min from planet so if i bought an etek i could get spares etc very quickly, but you shouldnt favor a product because its easier to get parts for should you ?

bolt has quite a few orings to lube
internal oring in the breach
all of these need to be in good condition and kept that way hence higher maintenance.

unless you are sponsored and can get spares as part of a deal ,then yeah, id consider spares availability high on my list. everyone is aware of the scandal of SP charging a flat £10 delivery fee on everything from an oring up to a shocker (unless you pester them that is) which doesnt do them many favours.

nerve boards do ramp..

rebound is just a fanny name for ramping.

Being close to planet is an advantage and should help sway what gun you get. If you dont like it dont buy it, but try them out first. If you have a problem with your etek you can have it being looked at within an hour. Smart parts on the other hand would take longer. If you have a gun, you dont want it sitting there broke do you now
