i just got my tron last week and i just noticed that the ball ejector is extremely violent kicking out balls. i think i'm going to have a hole in the side of my cabinet soon. what/where should i check for problems? it has the correct amount of balls(4), all the trough switches are working. it's the strength of the coil that seems to be too strong.

Mine kicks out pretty hard as well, as does my Metallica. I think it's normal.

Get one of these:

The latest run has the Kickout Protector built in. Unless I am missing something? Mine does not hit wood when it ejects, it hits built in metal.

I have the 2nd run of with the 3D Translite and Decals and I have the metal lane protector...

yes, mine has the metal protector, but it's ejecting too hard for my taste, might switch out the coils?

Get the ejector hole protector too, or the ball will wear right through the clear coat.

Mine had the same "problem". You can solve it putting a small rubber ring on the outside of the coil.
as you can see in the pic.
I also done this for the up post, totally removed the annoying noise. And the vuk, to prevent damage on the scoop and pf.
Also, put a white rubber ring, to minimize the black crap from the rubbers.
