    My cuzin has it. I like it 8 bps feed continously. Pretty nifty. Good back up hopper for a slow shooter 8 bps or under. Seeing you have a 68 automag it won't be a bad hopper for you.

      I'm pretty sure it was the replacement hopper for the 9v rev... hope that helps a bit.

        Don't get it...

        I would definitely suggest against getting one. For like 10-15 more you can get a 12v Revvy or Ricochet AK. I would say go the revvy.

        I had a quantum as my first electronic loader. The thing constantly spins, meaning no sensor or anything. So after you turn it on, it doesn't stop spinning, and it's kinda loud. I've also had balls get jammed under the rotor. Honestly, I would say do not get it, or even consider it. If money is an issue, get the revvy, or else Halo's are great.

          Forty Six is right, its a pretty crapy loader. I was going to get one awile ago but luckily my cousin talked me out of it. A guy at my feild had one, It was so noisy and it was always going. It couldnt keep up with the spyder he had. Also it holds like 130 balls or around there. Just go with the revy. even if it dosnt have an x board.

          Good Luck

                    I bought one a while back, before I knew it was always on. my friend and I put a switch on the grip frame so when I push the button, it turns on, and off when I released it. unfortunately the solder did not hold. I was messing with it before the first game I was going to use it, and the wires inside the hopper disconnected. Anyway..... I just picked up a Halo TSA. Too much work to try and redo the wiring, maybe someday I will fix the quantum.

                        pretty much, but I liked the fact that I could hold my grip frame and turn the hopper on and off whenever I wanted with a move of my index finger. however, after setting it up, I think it would have been been to put a push button switch behind the trigger so everytime I fired it would activate the hopper. it just seems more simple that way. I did this on my spyder, not my mag, so the frame setups are different, if it matters. If you have a mag, intellifeeding it should be really simple, since all thats in the hopper is the motor, there isnt a board or anything complicated to deal with. the hardest part was dealing with cutting the plastic inside the motor/battery compartment to allow room for the extra wires. That is probably why the wires came loose.

                          what are you shooting?

                          a Revvie ($60) will do fine, as will an eggo II ($75) most likely. perhaps, a HALO B ($120) is needed. But a Quantum will feed ONLY 8bps. If thats fine, then get it! If you need more than that, get something else

                            Ive got a 68 Classic gonna have Lvl10 soon. Im not really sure what Ill need, Ive always used a Vl200(just got the mag though).

                            This evo works, its pretty ghetto though, dont plan on keepin it long. The quantum may be ok, and then if its to slow I can buy a revy and stick the Quantum on my F4

                              quantum sucks. get an evo II with yboard (if you want) at least get a 12v revvy
