Re: Gladiator Spartacus V2 120
Beautiful build!!!
I notice there is no kicker band as on your other models. I thought you found that essential for initial shaft speed. What is the reasoning to omit that on this version? |

Nice build!
That's gotta be a very powerful setup. What's the recoil like? |

Re: Gladiator Spartacus V2 120
one more pair of bands. Customer ask to do this way, but I am satisfied also. Personally i like kicker band but here is one bands pair with +120% pretension and it compesate a bit slower start.

Re: Gladiator Spartacus V2 120
Amazin gun!
I personally love the semigloss finish of the CF. Is the final clear coat like that or you sand it with a high grit to kill the glare? steel wool maybe? Mikel |

Re: Gladiator Spartacus V2 120
How long would it take to prepare a new set of bands for it given that they need periodic replacing as rubber bands don't last forever? That would include the remounting time and adjusting the cable lengths.

Personally I need about 2 hours including new cable, because as you said cable sometimes need few tries to be equally adjusted on both sides. |

Re: Gladiator Spartacus V2 120
Thanks for that information. It would be handy if gun builders supplied a "map" of the band system on cable rollerguns that they sold so that the band system could be replicated with respect to the various lengths and diameters used. Ditto for stretch limited band systems. While the existing bands could be used as a reference, they may not always be available and the owner may not have measured them up when the gun was first purchased.
