Well, the overtraveling issue was supposed to be fixed with the second cyclone update a few years back. The first update was a better ratchet and the second was a new bottom plate that prevented the problem you mentioned. If you have an "A" stamped on your bottom plate then it is the updated version. Since you have a new one, it should already have this. Have you tried hooking up a HPA tank to the gun? Sometimes CO2 just causes some weird things to happen. I wouldn't buy the X7 cyclone. At this point, you'd be better off getting the QEPH instead. Also, I remember hearing that overtightening the screw that holds the sprocket in place can cause problems. Try loosening that and then screwing it back in just until it's firm. Same goes for the screws that hold the bottom plate on. Screw them in so that they will stay on but not super tight. Also, an RVA is a rear velocity adjuster. It basically changes the amount of pressure that the drive spring puts on the rear bolt which will affect a lot of things.

Alright I'll loosening up the screws - but the thing is- I actually lost the stock screw that holds the paddles in - I dunno how - I'm pretty sure it shot out of my gun... like 100% sure - I just feel sorry for who ever I hit  but I found a replacement at a hardware store - so I'll do that - So I definitly don't have the RVA  - and thank you for explaining that one too me

I hope you got one exactly like the original or that could potentially cause a problem.
