if you plan on modding it anyways just buy the first gen.. most people I read have no issues with them compared to 4th gen.... Plus, wally world prolly wont be getting anymore and youll be stuck buying a 4th gen at target for 200 bucks.  |

I would absolutely get one no matter what "generation" it is. We have several, all generations, and have yet to break the first "1st" that we opened! Just a little common sense and you'll be fine. After many hours of use the belt has just started to slip when pushed hard. Simple fix with a .25 o-ring. (unless you want to pay $15.00 for them on ebay) One of our Walmarts actually went the other way.............had the later versions (gen 4) out first and now they have the LE red Scoprions! (1st gen) Generation issues don't stop me from picking up another 1 or 2 each week. Part 'em out and sell the bodies! |
