x-board or reloader

[Jerhew]

ok here's the deal i have limited funds and i have a GOOD revvy shell, not the newer pos ones
is the reloader much faster than an x-board?
i want to hear from people that have tried both...
also
even though i know someones gonna say it anyway,
NO, i don't want to by an egg2 or a halo b, i dont have the cash

if you have a warp you need the xboard but if you dont use warp reloader is much better then the xboard i was using in my opinion

[wobbles82]

agreed and agreed Reloader over Revvy without a Warp, no contest.

[Jerhew]

k cool thanx guys
i was kinda leaning toward the reloader anyway...
anyone know where the best price is on one?

[dinger]

ah yes! this is a question that i was pondering myself..

What is the better loader: Empire Reloader, or the RevLolution 12volt w/ x-board?

and appearently the reloader seems to be better :o but doesn't it only load like 11 bps??

Personaly, I do like the Reloader but if you already have a 12 Revy and funds are an issue. I'd just get the X-Board and the curved up impeler (forget what it's called).

If you didn't have a motorized hopper I'd go with the Reloader but I don't think the difference is enough to buy a whole new hopper.

I'd see go X-Board, I own and X-Board and shoot my gun w/ reloader and just didntlike it. Plus it's cheaper to get a nd X-board.

i have used the reay 12 vlt but nvr used the reloader so i cant make a very good conparison but my experance with the revy has been good and if it is good enough to keep up with my freind ripping up 12 bps then its good enouhg for most ne one else in the middle range of loaders

[snoogans]

definately go with the reloader, my friend nick o time has one and it is realllly nice

yup its nice, i had problems with mine when i got it but found out that the connector was on wrong or something so it spun the wrong way and jammed

[dinger]

paddle spun the wrong way? heh, good thing the paddles aren't angled, or else you would have had paintballs flying out of ur hopper!! LOL


edit: this was my 100th post! yay

well thats the thing
i've seen the reloader kit for as low as $30...you just drop it into your revvy shell

the xboard only feeds when the neck is empty and the reloader spins every time you fire...so it never has a chance to let the neck get empty....
on the other hand agitated loaders top out at around 13 bps anyway(pull harder, stupid gravity)
so if the xboard can do 13 anyway...it's a mute point...
but the reloader does come with the groovy impeller...
ah decisions decisions

[Jerhew]

by the way
the cheapest i've seen a vortex impeller is $6 and $15 for the x-board...

so either $21 for an x-board and impeller
or $30 for the reloader(comes with impeller and new motor)

basically for $9 more i have a backup set of electronics for my revvy
as long as my shell holds up im golden(and it's an oldskool rev shell so it ought to...ive had it for years)

[MantisMag]

did this last year. hope it helps your decision some.

thanx mantis...
thats not bad at all for the x-board and vortex
actually all that did was make my decision harder
