I posted in another thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-full-throttle-owner-thanks-heighway-and-coin-taker

I'm new to the club and very happy. After months of having a crush on this game from afar, I played this at TPF and was smitten immediately. I purchased one right there and took it home from the show. My game has needed a few minor adjustments and my support has been outstanding.

First impressions: No game is perfect, but the flow here is amazing! I really like the bright colors combined with the clear ramps. The black cabinet with black trim is really nice. I think the all black will better accommodate the kits I plan to purchase (Alien).

Wish list: More animations would be nice for the LCD as well as a JJP style instruction tree for advancing through the modes. I was asked to not attach my shaker motor (got it from coin taker but was not built in to the game I purchased) until the code was updated. It should be a great fit for a racing theme.

It has edged out AMH as the shiny new jewel in my collection. It's great to see the new manufacturers making high quality games. I'm doing my part to support them, but it's not charity. These games have to be good and these are definitely good. I had a WOZECLE as well, but moved on to try new things.

This does appear to be a very operator friendly game. As I have no experience in the area, that's all I can offer. I sincerely hope operators grab on to this game and Heighway is able to succeed. It feels like pinball evolving in the right direction.

Interesting. My inner loop is fine. Amazing what such s small difference makes.

Thanks for the step by step! Always appreciated.

Awesome sauce! Loving my FT big time.

In case I missed it in this thread...

Very happy FT owner here. Good support from both Cointaker and Heighway. Like Arcade, I got mine at TPF.

Totally agree. I plan to add Alien as a kit when it's released.

Got some playfield pics? I'd like to see where you put them.

Thanks Frolic. I see the one on the right slingshot and by the captive ball on the left. It looks great. Any others?

I was thinking about an LED strip under the apron. I had to do some wire bundle adjusting to remove some electronic hum. I think the led strips would be easy to tap.

Played mine last night, still really enjoying FT.

Heighway suggested I not install my shaker until the software was ready. Has that changed?

Agree with a slight clarifications. There are two seperate issues that are not hard to fix. I have confirmed my findings with Heighway.

1. If the amp is turned up high and the game volume low, you get a hum. Mine came out of the box that way. It's corrected by turning down the amp and the in game up. All sounds will remain crisp and loud.

2. There is a second high pitched sound that is through the upper speakers. It come from the above described issue. Isolate the 4 speaker wires from the main bundle going up to the backbox. I just zip tied them along the outside. It worked perfectly. My game is now silent when I turn it on.

Who's awesome?

You are!!!

You will enjoy it. FT is fun.

I've had mine since Texas in March and gone through a few ownership issues. Everything is working great. If you have any issues, feel free to PM etc.

My game has an issue with the "M" switch not registering. I spoke to Andrew at the Rocky Mountain show about this specific issue. He said to lift the playfield and look at the sensors. Make sure that they are close enough to the playfield and that nothing is loose. If this doesn't work, call or email.

I have not taken time to do this yet. I will follow up here after I check it.

Looks great! I think it found a happy home.

Wow. I haven’t thought about FT in a while.
I purchased one NIB at the 2016 Texas Pinball Festival and sold it about 18mo later. It was fun with a good flow to it. I hope you are enjoying your games now.
