Depending on how old you revvy is Yes you can. All you need is the new board and the four blade paddle. It might be cheaper to buy a new loader though, but check the prices.
(I Did the upgrade on mine only to find out that a new loader would have been about 20 bucks less)
Good luck.

TuxMag26: u got ripped off!!! You can buy a turbo board for 20 bux and a paddle for 5

tazman: If you have a newer revy you can upgrade to a 12v, It's definatly worth it

I just did that. Picked up an X-board for $10 at a tourney along with an eVLution paddle for $5 (the regular 4 blade one was a buck).
Works nice.

I had a 9V Rev and I converted it to 12V with no problems. No new board needed. I did however have a newer Rev. All you need is:
2 9V battery connectors = $1.50 at Radio Shack
1 soldering iron = You don't have one? Why not?
solder = $1.00
1 more 9 V battery = $3.45 for a 2 pack
130251-000 Flex Propeller - 12 Volt $2.00

For direections on how to do it:

You can order the paddel from Viewloder by calling them direct with the above part number.

FYI: I use the 9V paddel with no probs but strongly recommend the 4.

Not sure. I've only been to one. Wish I brought more cash because there were some EXCELLENT deals.

I s'pose it's a perfect place to sell stuff cheap. Get the tourney players to buy it and hopefully win while using it.

Hey Shaft, How did the evolution paddle work since there isn't a well in the bottom of a normal revvy? Does it spin more often? This sounds like a good idea to solve the normal burp of 3-4 balls a revvy feeds.

Works ok. I upgraded from a 9v, so I don't know how it compares to a regular 12v paddle.
I think Warpig's comparo used this setup and showed some improvement.

I have installed a turbo-revy board from Wicked Air Sports into my 12 volt and the feed rate is significantly faster. It will convert your 9 volt into a 12 volt loader and they include the four-blade impeller.
