There are very few guys in Canada that have a hopup done by Tony himself. Nearly all of them weer done by me or DTT.

I am deciding between the 2013 PTW or spending even more $$$ for a FCC, and have a lot of unanswered questions. I have been told that PTW motors are expensive and have a high failure rate and the hop is inconsistent also.

Hopup on a 2012 was better than previous years. But a mod takes care of that, and is the best money you can ever spend of a PTW performance-wise.
The motors need work. I just send them to England and have the armatures rewound, it is about $200/motor once you factor in shipping, new brushes, etc.

So your mod still uses the PTW hop?

Yes.

Does it also work on a FCC?
|
Yes, but unfortunately I need to replace the FCC spring with Systema adjuster cushions. Those are a little hard to come by at the moment and I have no spares.

If I buy either a 2013 PTW or FCC, can I do the mod or you have to do it for me? Can't find any info on your mod.

The mod is a bit of a trade secret. I won't share it, nor does Tack. It is something that one with technical skill could reverse-engineer, but then you need to source the material in the correct dimensions, order alot of it, and and soend a bunch of time doing. It would be worth it if you were doing lots of them, but for doing your own, totally not worth it.

I am also trying to confirm if the 2013 PTW comes with the 490 motor or the 7511 motor.

I would suspect it is a newer version than the 490.
