Do the current generation of PTW cylinder still need the o-ring replaced once in a while on the nozzle to not double feed?

The PTW had their issues when they where first released but since this is so similar most things should be worked out. Until they have been really well tested by players I will reserve judgment. I think everything in it is a great idea but at the same time I was so underwhelmed by my PTW I ended up selling it to get ICS guns.

My main gripe is that SystemA originally said they where going to release highspeed versions. Well they have an M90 version but it still has standard gears and a Magnum motor from what I can tell. Also I was hoping to see the 4 gear setup tweaked for either highspeed or high torque but it looks like its just torque and they use standard 3 gear setups in the lower powered mechboxes (M130 and under.) Lets hope the water proofing on the circuit boards is better than on PTW's, around half the PTW owners I have talked to (of those, half kit and half factory build) have had problems at rainy games with PTW's.

If I where to get one, I would probably toss it in a JG or stock TM body. There are more than enough front ends on the market that completely prevent barrel wobble on plastic receivers and it makes modding it to fit if there are issues far easier. Plus its lighter, though I don't care much for realism in that regard, I mean I have a 5.56mm silencer on my M14.
