that sucks mjr! I blew out a 1011 on mine too right after i started spraying it. i replaced it with a 9333 and it lasted for a few months, until i sold it all it was still holding up.

that things gonna be sick tho! I havent been around lately, but did you put that tko in yet? I have a feeling if you're still using that t5 it'll come apart soon .

we'll see, that's the hope, I'm done with the spray for a while or at least that's the plan, I want to focur more on the n/a aspect next time out, which hopefully is late october.
