Well I noticed after about 300 games or so that the ball coming out of the disc is not what it used to be. I've read other threads on RGP mostly complaining about the motor.
What I've found is you need to take the disc assembly out and clean off the rubber rings. I put my hand on the rings and they felt really smooth.

I cleaned it with probably the improper cleaning agent so I'm not posting what I used. I got a lot of black residue off the rings. I would think that some kind of rubber rejuvenator/cleaner would work best.

Tested again and the ball is really whipping around again.
 
I stop at staples and pick up some rubber cleaner used for printer rollers next week when I go back to work.
It is working so much better now that the ball came out of the disc and went right up the right ramp, completely making it around.
Another shot came out so fast that the ball got wedged under the rubber of the right sling. It was going so fast I lost track of it and didn't know where it went. LOL.

up the right ramp.....that's fantastic. i haven't seen it do that yet. it makes it around the quorra loop with regularity.

as for the lightning shot.....yeah.....those are awesome when they happen.
 
In the launch tourney I played, I had the stupid thing come flying out so fast it whacked something and actually went OVER the right lane dividers into the outlane. Still have no clue how the crap that happened. God only knows what my 58 million would've been had it not. :|
 
Mine is probably due for a cleaning as well since it doesn't seem to whip the ball around as fast as it used to either.
 
Jackal, one of the biggest let downs for me was the disc when my LE got here.

I ended up re rubberring the back end there with White rubbers and tshirt wiping the rubber with alcohol.

Since then the thing has been nasty fast - its a well done toy. Hoping it stays like this....
