GET A HALO! They are fast enough to feed your RT. As for an air system, try to get a 68 4500 if you can.

If weight is at all a problem, get the AK. Otherwise... get a Halo over your beast.

its a hard decision i have been thinking halo but they look reeally big and would get hit alot
AK would be smaller and has that design but i would risk breaking
i outshoot a standert 12vt hopper

The Halo is not really that big at all. I have played with mine about 5 times, and have only got hit once. It feeds extremely fast and its a constant stream of paint.
Make sure that if you do get one. When you put the Halo into your elbow. Make sure that it is fit all the way into the elbow. That will lead to chops.

i have no complaints on the tank, seems to keep a consistent supply of air with little variation in ball speed. the ricochet is certainly the weakest link in the ball feeding chain, but i must say i am generally impressed with it. when i keep the gun set to 11bps i never chop, when i set it to 12bps, i will chop once per day, 13bps and i have to be very careful. it is lightweight, less bulky that the revolution, runs on 1 9v, has a game timer, and shot counter (which i find to be very useful as it lets me know how much paint i'm shooting and need to take out with me). my last gun was a vert feed emag. i had a revvy with turborev board. the turborev made a huge difference but i would outshoot it easily. some of that had to do with balls shooting back up into the happer. that experience convinced me to get a warpfeed on my new gun and i luv it!

Actually, the AK doesn't have a game timer or an LCD screen. That is the regular Ricochet. But, I don't think that the Ricochet is the "weakest link" in feeding either. That would be a 9V or a Mach 404.

i meant the weakest link for me.

my guess for everything 1,000-1,100 but you'd probably have to sell it all separately

I haven't had any problems with my Ricochet. It works great and feeds plenty fast...My Triggernomics RT can really sing and it keeps up just fine. The game timer is nice. The shot counter isn't very accurate, but close enough.

what input do you use. i use 900 and outshoot evry hopper ive tried. that is all motorized hoppers except the halo. im just going to get a warp feed. the ricochet is a good hopper thow. a intellifed revy is about the same.

My input is 800 with an on/off pin length of .737 and a Triggernomics double trigger. Haven't had a problem with my ricochet not keeping up yet. I'll have to record a string for you all sometime.

They are both good loaders, but if you have an E-Mag, HALO is a better buy.

I think that you should keep your 12V and get a Warp. It should feed plenty fast.

if you get a HALO get the WAS Bearing Kit and the TurbALO Board for it... itll be worth it check it out at Wicked Air Sportz (www.wickedairsportz.com)

Would you please enlighten me to what a Smart Parts HALO is?

Well, I have a Ricochet 2K. I just got it recently and I like it a lot better than my 12volt. I personally think the HALO is probably pretty nice, but a little over-rated. Go with the Riky. It promotes bounces and is a nice size and weight.

the smart parts halo is nothing special so there is no reason to pay 150 for one

earlier today i talked to wicked air sportz and they decided to not do the turbalo system but just have somesort of computer interface that will give the stock board all the options of the turbalo

I asked a lot of people about what hopper I should buy. Most people I spoke to didn't seem to think too highly bout the riky. Most people said "HALO". I went with the halo, and have no regrets. I love it. The only time i have had a problem with it is when I put some dryshell paint through it. Even then it wasn't too bad a problem. I would have to recommend the halo.
