revy or ak hoppers??

[TheJester]

i've never had a problem with my ricochet. it's also sealed a little better then the revi's are, so if you play a game in the rain, all the revis on the feild will be shorting out, but the "sea trials" of my mag we in the POURING rain, and my rico never failed. one thing to watch out for on a rico, is that the design does work sometimes for bounces, but 1 time when i caught a bounce, it bounced it right on my lenses. but this has happened once in a year of using it. their costomer service is great, i emailed them saying that mine wasn't feeding up to par, it seemed like it would not read a ball or 2, causeing it to not feed. they sent me a new sensor for free. they also sent me a new motor for free becuase i asked if there was a way to quiet it down, and in both cases i recieved them in 2 days (they're based out of Arizona, i'm in NY)

Obviously if money is a concern HALO B and revy shells are not the answer. BE does not seem to be fixing the problem.

Everyone says that the Ricochets look kool. Id really like the 2k0 but its out of my price range. Obviously when moneys tight $10 matters.

goto http://PBreview.com and look

Ricochet got 9 out of 10 and Revy got 7. What does that tell you?

starbase- the ak and 2k are the same, besides the fact that the 2k has a timer and a shot counter (not a must)and it also has no window.(i have one myself)

the ak has no shot counter or timer but again you dont need them. but it does have a little window in the side to check your paint and is 10-15 bucks cheaper. really, i think the ak is a beter buy. i got the 2k in trade or i wouldve bought an ak.

Rev's breaking "recently": I broke 3 last year and it sounds like ppl are still breaking them. Dosen't sound like BE has changed any quality control issues.

i stand corrected...

when i say recently i meant within the last year...
my revvy body is about 3 years old and is solid as a rock

i have to second what thejester said about revvies and rain...
the board gets wet and it decides to run all the time and the low battery light comes on even when the rev is switched off...
it's fine when it dries luckily...

I've played with an Halo, Revi and the AK, and in my oppinion the AK is the BEST for the money. I've had NO feed problems except when the first stack is loading into the gun(the feed neck doesn't want to feed at first but fixes once a stack has been loaded). The AK is STRONG and will NOT break, plus, it actually has deflected a few shots, but had 2 break on the VERY tip where its not rounded. ALl in all i say the AK is an awesome deal, the 2k has all the LCD ball counting crap that will just waste battery and not be of any use.

One thing that has not be mentioned... the Rico only uses 1 battery. I had one and it was nice. I have a Revi now..wish I had the Rico back! I think I may get a Evo II though...a little faster for just a little more money. You can get the new style AK on ebay for $48.
Later.....

I have a rico with the screen in the back, cant remember non-ak. Its freaking great. I think its faster than a VL and I use only 1 9v. I am also using a very early board v 1.0.

only thing that sux is when you are really throwing paint the counter isnt very accurate and has trouble counting balls. The other negative is that it is a 145-150rnd hopper.

I love mine and would never go back to a revy.

You have the 2K. I had one but did not have it long....wish I had it back.....The only difference is the LCD screen on one and the side window on the other.
You could hook it up to your Intelli frame...but the way it works it may not be necessary.
