    I have only heard good things, but I would be inclined to change the front spring on the Purple Shader to maybe a 37/38mm, looks like a 42mm which is on it...I am pretty sure they can be used as a Liner or a Colour Machine, the only reason,without knowing the spring set-ups, is I think the Purple is a Shader due to the Longer front contact screw, you can hang yer spring way over the nipple and it would still catch it.....How do they run....?

    Run nice liner runs fast bout 140 htz 6 v loaded

    And Shafer pointed the contact point further down spring so it flexes less and runs quicker and smoother and doesnt catch will do bout 100 htz and still packs solid hit at 4v loaded

    Only thing didn't like was the 65 quid customs fee haha

    If they weren't such ugly machines I think more people would buy and use them.

    john do you remember the speeds u ran the shader at (hz) if poss and did you leave oring on or off As i think the liner is better with no oring but cant make my mind up about the shader,

    the light weight is taking some getting used to on lining lol

    They used have different springs on them which made them run like shit. maybe these are better.
