wtf egg are you using???

it must have the flu or something... the motor is probably on its way to being fried, or the board.

thank u, lots of people have said that the egg is too slow, **** it kept up wit my rt at 18, and poeple r saying it only does 11, comon

Well.. BE quality control sucks, maybe you got a good one, if you did, your lucky. All three that I have tried have had the same results. Slap on a halo and all the sudden Im feeding 18+...

I tried a pre Y board egg on my Angel, in mode A (full automatic) with the MROF set at 13 and it was chopping like mad. I know it was pre Y board but come on, 13 bps is practically nothing compared to what HALO's feed. (to be even fairer, the first version Halos fed 16 bps)

[RRfireblade]

First off,an Egg WILL feed upto 17bps but not at the first initial start of the string,if you can pop out around 13+ in the first 3-4 balls it will chop.After that it will run pretty quick.

The Y board IS NOT AN UPGRADE and was not intended to feed any faster than a non-Y board.It may or may not be +or- one ball faster.

As far as Z boards go,they are out.Got 2 of them last weekend and they are WAY faster than then the previous boards.Faster at initial start up and faster even after that.I don't know about 22bps,BE is now claiming 21.5,however even though I like,use and generally prefer the Egg2Z,IT WILL NEVER FEED AS FAST AS A HALO during normal on gun use.But it does work better now and I still like it overall.

FYI,Y boards can now be had for $20.

FYI again, Eggs outnumbered all other loaders that I could see this week at world cup by maybe 2-1.

for all you kids that say ur egg is feeding like 18bps idk what the hell egg u r using but give it to me i outshoot my egg all the time on my angel and i barely even walk the trigger

People don't read so well I guess.....

[yeahthatsme]

eggs arent forcefed so they cant feed past around 13, which is what they feed. my eggo with y board fed the same as my friends 12v rev

they say that the z board will make the eggo forcefed so it will actually feed like they say it will..i dont buy it...supposedly it'll go 21 bps...i'm sticking with my halo.

That's wrong.

An egg is force fed,but not until the eye detects a gap in the ball stack and starts the motor.That's why you can chop if you can pull somewhere between 10 and 13 bps at the begining of a string where the feedrate is based only on gravity feed.The Z board reduces most of the delay between the eye sensing movement in the ball stack and the start of the motor,it then starts the motor at a higher rate of speed than before,if the eye detects continued movement,it then increases the speed of the motor to near the max it is capable given the supply of power.

It does work,and no it's not consistantly as fast as a Halo nor will it ever be.

if your y board knob is turned all the way clockwise and its not feeding 17bps, YOUR EGG IS MESSED UP!!!!

thats like saying i can outshoot and egg with an imagine.

too bad ITS NOT POSSIBLE!! [ok it might be, but thats not the point]. the only way you're going to be so easily "out shooting" the egg is a REALLY fast burst.

For what it's worth...

Here's a drop test I did last year when the Egg II first came out (stock):

http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46122&highlight=drop+test

I'm looking forward to picking up this new "Z-board" and doing another drop test.

I doubt it'll break 20 bps, but it'll be fun trying...

[RRfireblade]

I'll do a drop test as soon as I pick up some more paint,maybe tomorrow at the Cup.But as I'm sure you know,drop tests actually prove very little.In a drop test,Evo's are usually faster than on gun and Halos are usually slower than on gun.

Either way,the Z board is definitely faster than the previous boards,without question.

I saw Pros this week ripping on Z'd Egg2 faster than I have ever seen before.

me can't wait to get my z-board from RR..hehehehehe...

[Jack & Coke]

When the Z-board comes in, I'll do an additional test...

I'll make videos of me raking the trigger of my 3 super fast guns (Tunamax, GZ Clammy, and my new Dye Matrix) similar to these videos:

http://web.umr.edu/~sjjgfd/Tunamax.wmv

http://web.umr.edu/~sjjgfd/GZ_Clammy.wmv

using a Revy, Egg, and Halo.

Then I'll analyze the video and we'll see what the actual max feed rates are.

I know for a fact right now that when I rake the trigger on my GZ Clammy, the HALO is the clear winner. You can definately notice that the stock Egg II is slower.

What is nice and reassuring is that the Equalizer ACE system works PERFECTLY in forced mode... NO CHOPS AT ALL. Even when the gun had to wait for gaps between balls when using the Egg and Revy.
