    Hopper recommendation

    I was looking at the EVlution, 12v revy, and the riccocet. I wasn't thrilled with the riccocet because its a bit high tech looking. The 12v revy I hear is loud and works better with the evlution paddle. I like the evlution, shapesdifferent but how is it overall compared to the other 2? I'm not shooting 12 balls/sec so speed isn't an issue. Which is the quietest? Which works best?

    The "Eggolution" was an answer without a question. The hard plastic door breaks too easily, the shape is just gawd-awful, it seems to be heavier than a revvyand it does not feed any faster than a revvy.

    The Ricochet is proving itself to be a good reliable choice, plus it has the shot counter and timer. Whether the shape actually does deflect incoming balls is up to ones own observations. It feeds slightly faster than the Revvy.

    The Revvy is time, tourney, and game tested to be reliable, fast enough (for you), sturdy, and the least expensive of the three.

    Last is the HALO. This is not quite on the general market yet, but has already been proven to be the best of the bunch. Fast feeding, sturdy, holds as many balls as the Revvy, and so far is the only loader that will feed an Emag with Warp-Feed at well over 16 bps full-auto!

    Hope that helped

          If you decide to get a revvy, be sure to get an X-board.

              The riccocet ak won't come with all the whistles and bells but it'll be half the price!

                Ditto on the new richochets...Come in neat new colors with a lil window on the side to see leftover balls. I believe its the old richochets that were complained to be loud. Revvies arent loud IMO. But revvies with the the eggolution paddle? How is that possible? Teh eggolution has its paddle built into the bottom of the hopper like some kinda cup design or something.
                Or you can be different and be teh first to get them weirdo vibrator hoppers. "shaken not stirred" LOL great rip off slogan

                      The new 'vibrator' loaders are the Mach 404s from Zap. If you read the loader comparison on www.warpig.com, you'll see that it performed quite well, but a little poorly when there was little paint remaining in the hopper.

                      EDIT: Gotta get my facts straight

                            Umm the ricochet AK is actually out now. It's a ricochet without the LCD and so on. It's a greta hopper in my oppinion. As far as the impeller mods. It's very easy to exchange impellers.


                            Taking mags apart is fun, its even more fun when you don't know what you're doing

                              Where have you seen the Riccochet AK available from, X-Plosive? I've been having trouble finding one.
