12v Revvie or Ricochet...whaddaya prefer?

[PsychoMag]

heres what I found out...

yes the rico comes in colors, and I will be getting the clear Talking Demonic version.

the are green blue clear smoke black ...and yes for those of you who need that one extra part for your chrome bodies...they come in chrome

I understand now that the halo has a problem with breaking paint in the hopper..no go for me there i dont even want to take the chance. but on a good note the hopper when it hits the market can do 19bps with a board enhancement, it will hit 30bps...i found the review...see it on my website under reviews

I'm waiting for the HALO. Either that, or I'll get a Warp Feed and keep my Rev...choices...choices...WARP FEED WITH HALO ON TOP!

My first motorized hopper was a 12V Evolution. Worked OK for a while but quickly became a problem with parts breaking, etc I then moved to a 12V Revy. Worked great once but was constantly jamming on me the last time I tried using it. I've now moved on to the Ricochet. Haven't used on the field yet but have tried in my backyard. Seems to work OK but need some time with it before I'll have an opinion on it. I do like the built in ball counter and game timer.

I don't think that there's a hopper out there that doesn't have some short comings. In my opinion the 12V Revy is the defacto standard and the ricochet is the new kid on the block. I'm sure that when the Halo comes out it will do well because people don't like BE and the 12V Revy has it's share of problems. Go with your gut and try either one, if it doesn't work you can always try something else.

I know you think the Warp Feed is just "okay", but the main problem you mentioned were hopper hits.

Why not give it a try? Doesn't matter how fast a hopper can feed, or if it's noisy and whatnot - especially in tourneys. Why not give the warp feed a try and see if it can lower your profile enough to avoid those hopper hits?

Doesn't hurt to give it a chance.

Best thing you can do is look for someone at your local field with a warp feed mounted, and at least give it a try.

well i have a ricochet and i love it! its pretty fast and a little loud but the ppl i have played with say they dont even notice it. well i would recommend the rico over the revy but i havent heard much about the halo...

Me again, disproving crazy mis-information. I do not blame any of you, false information is very easy to believe. My brother has a Ricochet and I have a 12volt Warp. The Warp actually seem louder to me. This is not technical, but 3 people have done this little "test" with the same results. They were done independantly, with no-one knowing the other's results. Like I said, not scientific, but before saying one thing is different, louder, faster, less durable, and so on, be shure to try both things.
I personally want a Ricochet because of the single, long lasting battery. I also want one of the new Revolutions because of it's ultimate durability. (check this out-
http://www.warpig.com/paintball/tech...rd/index.shtml ) I never want my almost $100 investment to break, crack, or even scrach. I have a neoprene cover for my current rev, but it is not exactly the coolest looking thing (keeps the hopper clean).

I say 80% or more is hopper hits...I did have the warp feed before, but I regularly play front and with switching up left and right hand, the warp really got in the way, besides the fact that I am not into too much exposure up front...I have thought about another Warp though...I dunno..to me, the warp is a handicap for my style.

I have never had a single problem with my revvie...except for braeaks, and since I am a front player, the longer I am in the game, the better off we are...

As far as the H.A.L.O. I never rush out and get the first edition of anything since that is where the bugs get worked out.
