how does everyone like the halo?

[magic55]

i can't stand mine. it breaks paint and jams and doesn't seem to feed as fast as it says it does. i've used it a couple times and can't stand it. on tuesday i played with it and switched back to my rev. because the halo broke paint and jammed and when i went to fill it there was paint dripping out of it. Does anyone else have any problems with theirs?

Love it, no breaks in 3 days, no chopped balls, works great with the new Advantage shell!

I couldn't be happier!

I have to agree with you, the halo is a big dissapointmant. Breaks paint internally,(marballizer, RPS premium, Zap and Team colors), very loud, pain in the butt to turn on, bulky, the lid is so tight I have snapped elbows trying to get it open and closed, missing internal parts, and it doesn't feed 16 balls a second. So, off it came, and my good old revy went back on. I am sure Odyssey will improve the design and it will work flawlessly, but it will be a while...

AWSOME! Best single upgrade to my E-mag. Worth every cent in my opinion.

I've only used mine once... and am reserving judgement until I use it a bit more.

The ppl down here have had no complaints about the hopper except for the damn tight lid. Also, there hasnt been too much praise either. They noticed no real difference between that and their Revs.

What my local shop said is to keep an eye out for WAS TurboRev Rico. Wicked says it will actually feed faster than their Turbo Rev Revolution.

I gotta try this !!!

Mine worked pretty well when it was sitting on top of my gun. When I mounted it on my warp it worked great until I would tilt the gun to one side for a few shots. Then it seemed the paint would'nt drop out of the HALO. It would get stuck halfway out of the HALO neck. I would have to thump the HALO to get the ball loose. I'll really go out and play with it this weekend and see how it does.

I still don't like the auto shutoff feature.

Other than that I'm pretty happy.

Take what WAS says with a pinch of salt.

Their systems are good and often way better than stock but not as good as they make out and the theory behind how they say it works doesn't hold water in my opinion.

My Halo worked great the first couple of outings, no jams, fast feeding, ect..
the last time I played with it it completely stopped feeding. untill I bang the thing, then it gets going again.
I took it apart and figured out that it was the motor that need the little bit of a shake. I e-mailed Odyssey about this and got 1 reply. I sent a 2nd e-mail but now haven't heard from them in 4 days. I wonder what the deal is.

[magic55]

i'm probably going to send mine back because my rev works without jams and gets the job done without chopping the balls.

no chops, skips, or farts on hybrid at 16 bps.
With this hopper i am no longer afraid of my emag trigger. For people with warps having chop issues with the halo try turning your warp on for longer. Fixed my intial chop problem.
3 cases so far no chops

Gecko do you run your Halo directly into your E-mag or do you run it into a warp then into your e-mag?

halo into the warp. Halo's are def hit or miss. When i first recieved mine the motor was dead and had to be returned to odyssesy. They got it back to me in under a week. My friend is running one on an adrenalin lcd, ran fine for 2 weeks but is now chopping random balls. I am having trouble getting my excal to feed at 13 bps with the halo but that is expected. Can't have a 55 psi bolt pressure and expect paint to load in 45 ms.
Wheres my uberloader?

We just bought a friend of mine one for his birthday and he had the exact same problem. He took it apart and noticed numerous "burs" (left over from casting) that were cutting the paint. He also thinks that one of the "eyes" in the feed neck wasn't mounted properly in its slot. Once he cleaned up all the burs and put it back together it works great. He ran two hopper loads through it without skipping a beat or breaking any paint. That was impossible before he fixed it.

Good luck.
