Well it was time for a new machine. For the past 5 or 6 months I've been running the EZ pen machines, which are decent machines for what they are, but was wanting to upgrade to something USA made and of better build quality and components. After watching the 20 minute product video Cyberitual posted I was sold on the 12v Evader and snagged one of his new RCA cords as well. Looking forward to getting this machine and logging in some time on it. To anyone how has the 12v Evader, I like running the Elite carts, do you need to loop a rubber band around the armature to account for the tension of the cart or are those carts not stiff enough to have to do that? I seen in Cyber's video he mentions the rubber band thing needs to be done when using stiff carts. Wasn't sure if the Elite's qualify as "stiff" carts or not?
