    Ok...that didn't go well. I took the halo apart and lubed as per the video on the website. I plug in and start to run higher and lower on my critical. It is still slowing down and speeding up (not a steady whirrr). I continue going 6 volts to 13 when I hit 12.1 and it stops completely. I proceed to take it apart to see whats up and the slider is stuck in the body now. I don't want to force anything on it because I'm afraid of breaking something and screwing my warranty. The motor seemed fine, ran it high and low without a problem. Its definitely a body /slider issue now. I'll keep updated on the process, as I'm sure it will be quick as per everyone else who has had to deal with issues with FK.

    Update. Got it loose but it still doesnt feel right, almost seems like the slider is rubbing where it shouldn't.

    Sorry Its been so long since I've been on to report that I got my Halo back and it is running flawlessly! Still learning it but it is making me a believer. Thanks to Gaston and FK for making it right and standing behind their products. The rest of the shop is jealous.

    Ok. So I bought my second Halo on Labor day as i was taking advantage of the special FK was having. Received my machine (4.0) and used it for the first time last week. The vise is not tightening! I am using the red tatsoul wrath tubes. I can tighten as much as possible and the tube can still be twisted. I've tried switching the vise around and still no go, it keeps twisting. Any advice or anyone else have this problem? I'm hoping i can just have a new vice/screw setup sent. Thanks in advance!

    size doesn't matter, that's what my wife tells me, lmao. its cool I wont, ive researched for a grip before I decided. something this forum has offered me that is priceless, is input on builds. 5 6 years ago if the guys you worked with didn't run em, you just had to take a chance. im sure ill love it, thanks
