The Voltage does NOT use the shwintek slides anymore. They replaced them in all their models starting in 2015. NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH SLIDES ON VOLTAGE... and there haven't been slide problems since the 2012 models.
Sure they do. They just added a third track to them and thickened the side walls to try and eliminate flex. Here's a video of a 2015 and it clearly shows the main slide is a Schwintek in the opening shots.
2015 Voltage
Here's a 2014 and all three slides are also Schwintek.
2014 Voltage
I'm guessing the thicker walls and third rail help as I'm seeing less complaints about them than in the past. But Voltage runs very low numbers and is having trouble increasing market share so who knows how many issues are out there.
Another thing with Schwintek slides is they are not flush floor like a Hydraulic with a ramp. This is fine for a BR slide but I'm not a fan of sitting in one.
