Intelli to Xboard BUT

[Carbon Blue]

Hey you guys ive got a 12volt xboard and an intelliframe right now. The thing is i plan on switching over to the Ricochet Apache. The thing is when my xboard has about 170 balls in it(agitator only works when theres about 125 balls), the motor cant even agitate the balls to free them up, and i have brand new eveready batteries in it. I can hear and see the agitator trying to spin but it cant break loose through all the balls. The motor is either too weak or it ends up jamming paintballs in between its paddles.If i wire this to the intelliframe do you still think itll jam up or be too weak to agitate?

it shouldnt, but if u want more paintballs in ur hopper w/o it jamming get a halo b

i plan on going with the Ricochet apache just because it is just a LITTLE faster than the egg and slower than the more expensive halo b.

just put less paintballs in it. thats why they make pods.

I have the apache and absolutly love it. The extra weight and size a halo puts on top isn't worth the speed it boasts.

i do, but its just an annoyance that i have to fill the hopper half full every time i play just for it to work. It should be able to agitate with atleast 180-190 balls in it considering that it can hold 200. Plus im mainly a speedball player and i just dont like refilling 3 times a game(at a 100 balls per refill).

Cut the paddles off the impeller so it's just a hub, then drill holes in it and glue weedeater string in the holes. That's what I did to the one on my warp.

Out of curiosity, what paint are you using in your Revy? I remember reading a while back that paddles similar to the JMJ ones are prone to jamming when using Advantage-shelled paint.

if you bent the stock impeller blades up at about a 45 degree angle it will stop what you are seeing. it keep the blades from rubbing on the shell of the hopper or letting paint get jammed under then blades. it feeds just as well.

you can also get the replacement 6 bladed impeller (JMJ I beleive.)
