What do you think about q-loaders?

[om3n]

Ok, so would I need something like this? I really would like to use the elbow setup the guy in the picture above uses.

EDIT

so this is what I'm thinking... Do I need the feedneck thing above at all?


This is what I was thinking about picking up from q-loader with 5 q-pods and the reloading system. Btw it will be about $190 to buy the package I'm looking at.

and just for reference I want to mount the qloader under my grip... but have the elbow the guy above is using. I want the mount the qloader probably like this guy:



AND ONE MORE THING

if someone has a q-pod and can post a picture of it compared to a 120 round normal pod, that would be awesome

Question:

Are you using vertical feed body or a warp feed body? If you have a warp feed body, i don't see why you would need the attachment (the 90 degrees elbow thing), the one that come with the Q loader is more than sufficient for what you need.

If it is vertical feed, i think you can still stick the stock 90 degrees elbow into the feedneck and just tighten it, those attachment seem unnecessary.

Another option to consider? http://www.proteamdirect.com/warfeedad.html

It's a vertical feed body, and thanks for the pictures of the pods! I'm sure the q-pods will fit my pack. So what would you suggest I get for a vertical feed body, if I want low profile like the below pictured gun? Will just the stock kit plus a CMS kit be enough? Does the stock kit come with a 90 degree fitting like that?...

And also thanks for the suggestion about the warp adapter. I don't think I'm going to be looking at those right now, but maybe in the future I might, unless buying one of those will save me money somehow That would just go where the feed neck is right now correct?

stock come with this elbow



which should be more than enough.

what kind of marker or mag are you using?

that would help determine what you can and cannot get.

as for vertical feed vs. warp body, the warp body give you a much lower profile and straight line of sight, however it will only work if you have a q loader or a warp feed set.


this is a warp body


a vert feed body is a bit taller and doesn't give you a clear line of sight, however it will work with a regular loader if your qloader fail.

I bought a ton of Qloader stuff back in the day, still have it but got no marker!

Anyway, when they were working it was great. When they weren't working it was a pain. All of mine were Gen1 Gen2's. Used to be they had a lifetime warrenty, not sure if they changed that...but i've emailed the company before and they promptly shipped me out replacement pod caps, mounting brackets, etc...without me sending in my busted ones. Was nice.

I kinda gave up on them after I couldn't get a few of them to properly keep the winding in the spring....was around when I stopped playing so didn't have the patience to try and fix. Used to run it on a Dallara bodied with the warp threaded feedneck.


oh also this

[om3n]

I put these pictures on the first page- And I'm totally aware of the warp bodies, but I'm not willing to spend an additional 200+ dollars right now just on a body (I would want a tac body) just yet. So I should just the the q and the cms kits?

Gun is a tac 1 with of course an x-valve, lvl 10, and ULT.

that is the T2W stock from spec ops, and I plan on mounting the q below that but on the handle

[pk5]

Seem like a long way to mount the q pods, but to each his own taste.

I like the hose to be compact so it doesn't get tangle in the bushes and give it a free flow path for the paints.

For reloading, yes, I use a gravity fed hopper. The reason I use a full length tube between the hopper and the reloading socket is so that there is a large buffer of balls that can help force balls into the reload socket. I can actually reload much faster than the video shows... if I remember to turn the hopper on. I tried directly hooking the revvy up to the socket but found that was kind of annoying.

The plastic elbow that comes with the kit kind of sucks in my opinion; they're big and they crack over time. The metal adapters from qloader are a vast improvement, but unfortunately they are ridiculously expensive. I picked mine up used.

I wanted to mount mine on the rail like malJohann, but I really wanted the top of my gun clear of hoses, etc, which can't be done with that... So I went for the lower side mount:






I also use a warp plate when I run a larger tank.

Buying Tonight!!!!!!!!!

Ok I am buying tonight I do want to use the metal elbow: I need to know right now, if I get sp8 kit listed below with the 500 round qloader package, will I also need to buy the warp adapter from tunamart listed below that in order to use that black 90* fitting? I need to know asap guys- I want this kit before thursday if possible so I would like to order tonight!!

EDIT

Also, I really like your setup goatboy. And thanks again for all the advice guys, I do read all of your posts and take everything you guys say to mind. That's one reason why I don't think I will like the plastic elbow actually... I think it's too large and like goatboy said it probably won't be as sturdy as the 90* fitting.

!!

Please guys!!!

I'm going to buy the qloader soon.... I really would like to know if this is what I need

Thanks!


EDIT

...

Ok well I am going to wait until the morning.... but really guys I need your input on this!! I don't want to spend a couple hundred on this stuff it's not going to work correctly- you guys have helped me out thus far, so if you could just help me finish this it would be great.

For those of you who are using the 90* fitting from q-loader, how are you attaching it to the feed neck? Are you using the warp adapter I posted a link to in the above thread? How are you attaching it?

Again thanks guys!

From what you've got planned, it should work -- the warp feed neck will go into the clamping elbow, then the elbow will go to the sleeve adapter for the hose, and then the hose to the socket, which is mounted via CMS bottomline-style.

I can't personally vouch for the size of that clamp from qloader though. Most people around here are using the threaded version.

Well if I can buy the threaded clamp from qloader that would be my first choice. Which parts are you using exactly?? If you could post a link to my best option that would be great!

and one more thing I meant to ask- if I buy the sp8 + 500 round kit, will it come with everything the normal 500 round kit comes with? Like the reloading equipment, etc?

[om3n]

Ok guys well I bought that package from q-loader and I bought the warp adapter from Tunaman, who is excellent by the way. I bought it at around 930 this morning and asked him to ship it quickly, and I had a tracking number before 1030 this morning Will definitely be doing business with him again.

I'm just hoping everything works as planned.... I really want to use this q-loader on Thursday!!!

[malJohann]

In the picture below, what are you using for the elbow portion? Do I need to buy that separate, or is that standard with the kit?...

Don't get too excited. Like others have stated, the learning curve for the q-loader is very steep. Unlike traditional feed systems and hoppers, you can't just throw it on the gun and go. It will take a while to understand and setup the system perfectly. I have 3 mags with q-loaders that still cause me trouble. I haven't had the time to correctly set them up, too many other projects.
