The X boarded revi is great. The shells on the new ones aren't awesome , but here is what you do. Find an old 12V revolution(pre BE) and use those shells for your Xboard. Take the plastic lid off a regular (shaker) viewloader and use it as well.

I get a reliable 12ishBPS from mine. Its good on batteries , not too loud and lighter than the others. I highly suggest them. I currently use one on my Trix. Heck with this new 15BPS thing thats about to hit at my local fields there is no reason to shoot faster anyway.

most reliable hopper i know, i never seen a problem with them on or off the field, ive had one before my halo they work wonderful

[MonsterMag]

The revvys and halos are some of the most reliable loaders :dance:

[FireITup14]

Dont get the board wet however. i have fried a couple of them in the rain. It would be a good idea to try and seal the shells somehow and water proof it.

[mag88888]

ill keep the rain thing in mind. whats the profile like and weight? has anyone gotten 15 bps out of a x board? www.viewloader.com sais it can but HYPE.

[FreakBaller12]

nah probably 12ish bps, a bit faster if you intellifeed it.
I think the profile is great, myn sits extremely like on my rogueneck on my mag.It's about the same size as the halo also, but holds about 20-30 more balls.

[mag88888]

will it fit into my stock centerfeed ule mainbody well?

[XbeasleyX]

If you really want to waterproof the board use a trick I learned for protecting servo's on my rc car. Put the board inside of a balloon, zip tye the end and put in some caulk or silicon(sp) as for the switch you will have to figure that out as I have a ReLoader and its push button.

[mag88888]

i love how people respond so quick to these types of threads. just about everyone had a revolution x board.

[ebola]

Mines four years old pre x board, did upgrade to an x board however, no problems at all. Best hopper availible. I do agree that the new shells stink, have seen a number of the the new shells broken at the feed neck.

[68magOwner]

i use a halo and a revvy, i have never had a problem with either, but, i have shot through, and seen some revvy's shot through, so, try adn get the old shell's

[brightman]

The beutiful thing about the revy is if something does fail you still have a function loading system...I know no one likes to shake and shoot but it beats winding your hopper up and shooting or taking balls out of the hopper and feeding them in the breech one at a time.

[mag88888]

where can i get the old shells? whats the differance?

[mag88888]

and are there any real differences between the revolution x board and the revolution tripod?

[ß?µ£ §mµ®ƒ]

my opinion, I would rather have a solid piece revy than one that can break apart

[gc82000]

I dont know where you can get some old shells, but there is a major difference i the shells. Pre BE the shells were more flexible. they could almost be squeezed to a certain degree. The new shells gave that feature away for some reason. So they are easier to crack if shot or jostled.
I dont think that the tripod has the x board speed esecially with the largest ball capacity.

[warbeak2099]

I had the unfortunate 2 year long experience of having a BE style xboard 12v revvy. The shells were brittle and the neck broke almost every time I played. The electronics were pretty good though. As stated before, just make sure you get an older style with the softer pre-BE shells. Probably would cost around $30-35 used. That reminds me, I gotta find an old, pre-BE 9v to load my Qpods with lol...

[mag88888]

q loader is good.^

[wdyer14]

For the money you just can't beat the revvy.With an x-board and a vortex impailer you may get a consistant 12-13 bps and it can handle 13-15 bps burst.In all reality though if you can walk a trigger 14+bps this loader just won't keep up.As far as reliability,like everybody says it rock solid.I wouldn't invest in the q-loader or the trip-pod system yet.They are both good products,but they are constantly upgrading them,givin a little more time I'm sure the bugs and little quirks will all be taken care of,but the x-board has already been debugged and is well proven.

...its called rip drive

[penguinpunk555]

Revis are like condoms. If you don't take care of them correctly they will break and you will get all the goo inside the wrong thing... So treat it nicely and it should work well... If not your gun will be pregnet enless it's on LVL 10 (Birth Control)

The profile is like putting a regular VL200 hopper on there IMO.

For weight, its less then a pound on thescale,(w/batteries) but makes my tippy feel a little side heavy when filled up with paint. I enjoy the hopper though, no problems.

[mag88888]

vortex impailer?^

[warbeak2099]

Impeller, the vortex impeller is a replacement blade for the revvy. However, an xboarded revvy is not going to be able to handle 15bps. It had a little trouble feeding consistantly when I was shooting 12-13bps with it. 12 is really the magic number IMO.

[wdyer14]

15 bps is more than a revy can handle,which is why I say burst.If your shooting 12 bps and you get a little extra bounce the revy can catch 2-3 extra balls (equalling 14-15) but there is no way it can sustain it .What it boils down to is how fast do you need to shoot and how much are you wiling to spend.If you can just rip a trigger than you need to upgrade,but if bps isn't your magic (like me) than the revy is a great option.(and used is very cheap $30)

easy way to solve the shells problem= new reloader 2. The shells on the new reloader are extremely well designed.

[mag88888]

which is smaller and what are the profiles like? the revolution x board and the evolution 2.
