Vortex Impeller

[IcantBelieveit]

Is it normal for the sound of my revvy to change after installing this? It seems to be turning freely, just wodnering

[BlackVCG]

Yes. Since the paddle no longer hits on the sides of the revy shell, it will change the sound. Notice how there's wear marks where the four blades would hit the shell? That creates a sound and now that the Vortex doesn't hit the shell it will sound different.

Yeah I just put one in yesterday and noticed that. The thing seems to spin a whole lot faster to which is nice.

[SilverFox]

those things are great! I love mine.

Will the vortex work with a 9 volt hopper. Also will it improve the feed rate?

[SilverFox]

bunkermaster yes to both of those questions. my 9v with the impeller out runs my bud's stock 12v (no x board)

[bunkermaster10]

Thats sweettt. Is it easy to put on?

[SilverFox]

yeah just one screw, after you take the shell apart anyway. some ppl might be able to do without taking the shell apart. if they have a small phillips screwdriver and small hands

I have a 12v. revy w/ x board and I need a faster loader to keep up with my RT. Instead of getting a new one I might just get the vortex impellar, but before that I was wondering how much bps faster it would feed?

[IcantBelieveit]

1-3 bps increase, but you need to get a warp

[land hurricane]

thanks


I couldnt ever play with a warp, that big thing on the side of your gun...I dunno...maybe in my future but not now.

[IcantBelieveit]

no warp feed ownz. You need one LOL. you have to set it up to your liking

[Hellaspaint]

I think with the Vortex the batteries last a little longer, because you save energy with no friction.
You can bend carefully the old paddles just to not touch the shell. I did that to an old 12V and it works.

mantis mag did this cool thing with the stock impeller and the vortex one...<a href="http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50291">here</a>

[automagII]

i think they changed the impeller on new the revvy
i just got a new one and the impellers do not touch the sides. it's a 12v with X board.

[IcantBelieveit]

yea they did change them

[Hellaspaint]

The VL impeller has 4 blades and the Vortex 6 blades and you can have it in different colors.
More blades is a little better!
I don't known the difference in weight between the Vortex and the VL. We are talking for a few grams or may be mgrams. Did you check that?
