This is a tough decision. Very 50-50.

Please take a few pics from the player's POV in a dark-ish room, with lights on and plastics on.

thanks,

Looking forward to some pics from people with the blue and red installed !

I've made up my mind. I am definitely going with red or blue.

That's insane.

After long and careful consideration, I've come up with my criteria for choosing a color based on the following ideas:

1. Toys vs Background art: The ramp is a "toy" and deserves to stand out as "something to do" like pop bumpers do as distinct from background art colors which are all blue in the upper PF.
2. Color Balance: There isn't enough red on the overall playfield to warrant removing more red.
3. Action/Fire: The idea of "spinning out fast" is a firey "red" idea, not a cold "calm/slow" idea
4. Lettering: The red / yellow / blue top right of the words "spintout" look great as-is.
5. Feeling: The glowing red feels really good. It's slightly "evil"
6. Adjacent pins in the Sys 11 room are accented: blue, blue, blue, and red, I need more red.
7. But I just love blue!

It's 6 votes for red 1 for blue. Tough call. Idea #7 is begging me to go blue.

As for the strip, mine is at an angle as well. I get about 9-10 rotations (5K-10K) with a red spring. I would simply hope for equal or more rotations from a new one.

Red it is.

Are you placing your order yet?

Even if you don't own a Taxi yet, invest this part now.

Box arrived, 4 days from placing order... Quite nice.
Skill shot is much tougher now. It's much closer to roulette now.
As for the number of spins, it's got more variance now. 9-11 where before it was 9-10.

Thank you Twisted Pins!

Time to open it...

Old ramp still installed...

New ramp installed... 1 hour later, no time to polish my screw heads =(

My new ramp performs so well, that I cannot control getting the 25k. AND it peaks at 100,000 + 10,000, so a full plunge doesn't auto-grab me the 25,000 either. Quite nice.
