    VL2500s behaving oddly

    Yeah sounds dirty to me. I've had that happen many times and I just had to clean the sensors and wheels really well. It jumps back and fourth when it cant see the black paint on homing. The stepper motors on VL's almost never give out like the cyber motors. They do but it is less likely on...

    Another Hazer Thread...Huzzah!

    I have used the unique 2 and the radiance and recomend the Radiance. There isnt much difference to be honest but the radiance is easy to use and easy to maintain.

    Problems with Studio Spot 250s?
