Getting back into paintball

[AGDRetro]

OP, look into the mod kits on eBay that allow you to mount a Virtue PMR or PM7 board (can't remember which) in your IR3, it'll allow for the use of a regular 9 volt battery. Could be difficult to find replacement Angel batteries nowadays and you won't have to mess with charging it either.

Also don't know how long you been out of the game but hoppers have made HUGE advancements, you really won't need eyes if you have a modern loader. I have a Spire right now but I'd recommend the Dye Rotor - bulletproof design!

Thanks. I will look into all of it. I'm currently running a vl revolution lol. My vl 3000 is broken. I've been out since 2006ish. I had a bob long alias with a halo b.

Wow, you'd have a night and day experience! The Rotor & Spire both tear down to clean up super quick with no tools. The Rotor claims about 50,000 shots from 3 AA batteries, I'm sure the Spire is in the same ball park. Both are built pretty robust, much heartier than a Halo shell for sure - busted my fair share of them!

Yeah dude. The halo shells were quite brittle. My revolution is from about 98-99ish and still works. I wish my vl 3000 still worked. I'm thinking of making a Frankenstein project of it. I always played back man in speedball so I liked the capacity of it.

Still have a first gen revolution. My agitator is DOA sadly. Got a sound activated halo too but it doesn't hold a candle to the used rotor I picked up. So simple to work with. No button sequence codes at all. Tension is done by setscrew. And it just flat works. All for 80 bux or so used.

I think I'll need a better hopper for sure. The ir3 doesn't have eyes. It has that sensi system, but mine doesn't work.

You can find gen3 Rotors for less than $100 used. I love my Rotor and haven't had any issues other than having the batteries die mid game and a few extremely misshapen balls causing jams, they would've jammed any hopper on the market, force feed or gravity feed.

This guy and I, as well as a few others, picked up Luke's new OLTR (which effectively seems to be a pneumag that requires almost no tinkering, aside from very slight tuning, after it's installed). I know you said originally that you want electro, not mech or pneu, but now it looks like you're leaning mech. You might follow the OLTR feed as well (paintball talk) to see if you could be swayed. It gives you damn near an electro trigger pull with the battery-less benefits of a mech. And AGDRetro might not call you a hack, since it's a true semi, as long as you're not putting an SHP on it :P

Yeah definitely man. Thank you. That's what I loved about my mags. They were never broke. They never needed much tuning. I've let many a folk in the past use my mags to finish tournaments cuz their other guns broke. A well oiled mag never fails.

If your fingers are moving I won't shake my fist at you like an old man :)

So my angel took a dump the other day after playing. Battery is done. It did shoot well when it worked though. xvalved minimag build is now in process. Anyone who has some extra parts they don't need, please pm me. I need alot of things.

Sorry to hear. There are a couple people who do( tbough its a relatively easy mod) PMR Rail mods to Angels. Give the better modern mifods of fire, but removes the battery for a 9volt.

And when you say, "extra parts". Please be specific, as some of us have multiples, but without a clear parts lists. You will not see the results.

I will get a list this weekend. Thank you sir.
