|
|
Hi i was googling looking for the tx4000 manufacturer www.mayflash.com when i found a reworked version of the tx6000 and i though it would be nice to post it here to enrich ddrfreaks pads database
it is in fact an slightly inproved version of the 6000 made by mayflash for an specific shop which is www.futuremax.nl from the price point of view it is maybe out of consideration for non european as it price 164,95 euros (dont know if vat is included right now) will leave users willing to pay a bit more for a cobalt flux, but for europeans the difference in price would be still big enough to check it out.
Newest model TX-6500 - v2 Special FMAX Edition - Metal Pad
This model is specially developed for the customers of FutureMax .. You will not find this anywhere else. You asked for it .. FutureMax makes it possible for YOU.
Some impovements compaired to the TX2000 are :

- all arrows are of metal.. will never break again.

That is actually pretty interesting. At first, I was gonna tell you that it's just a tx6000 that they say is better, but when I took a good look at those pics, it does look different.
1 looks shinier
2 different corner brackets
3 arrows are more recessed
those are the main things I noticed about it that is different than a normal tx6000 _________________

roughly $210 , however, it's gonna cost about $300 to ship it to the US, well, that is to NY, however, probably more if you're out west...
so at that price, you're better off getting a CF, or building your own... |

Metal sheets? Is this a TX pad that actually has sheet metal in the sensors rather than foil? This pad might actually be quite good then. I wonder if there's any chance this edition will show up on eBay for less anytime soon, or if this change will eventually filter down to other TX pads. |
