Evolution 2! any opinions!?

[Carbon Blue]

Hey whats up!? As i stated in my other post i was having problems with my xboarded VL and plan on upgrading to the evolution 2. Ive heard nothing but good reviews from this loader since it has a force fed design. Ive ran into guys that have ebladed cockers or ir3 angels and they love em. The only complaint that ive heard so far is the weak battery lid. What are your experiences/opinions?

[Skoad]

not just a weak battery lid, weak shell.

multiple times i picked up my evo and see chunks missing out of it for no reason. Mostly on the screw area near the feedneck. I also did bust a battery door, but theres mods to fix that.

Reason the battery doors bust is because the batteries themselves push extremely hard against the door, which busts it at the hinge.


It worked ok for me for a year or so before i replaced it with a halo.

i love mine it hasnt broken yet though does anyone no the mod to make the battery door less prone to breaking

If you don't need anything faster than 16-18bps I'd pick an Apache over an Egg with Z board(I have both so it's not biased), it feeds a bit faster and has way stronger shells. If you need something faster I'd go with a Halo B. If you want an Egg or Apache, I have both for sale, send me an IM or PM.

lol the guy who i talked to who had the ir3 had duct tape all over the thing. haha

The Apache is a type of Ricochet hopper, and I have read some very good things about the newest one but I am not too sure on that because I have heard that if you are going to get one, they aren't that great and it would be better to just get a halo. And as for the egg, I have used one when I left my halo at home and it worked alright, but it had duct tape on it just like mentioned before.

me and my friend were playin in some woods acouple weeks back, cause we were short on cash for the field, and we were attacking the other team, and we got pinned down. he has a orracle with an eggy, and he shot like 3 times and the hopper jammed up and was just spinning not loading any balls, so he hit it afew times to try and unjam it, and the battery door popped off, and we got lit the hell up, lol

i dont like the eggies, ive shot with eggies and halo b's and the halos are made alot better, the eggys are really cheap plastic, and they are kinda big, allso all the wieght is at the back of the loader becuase the feedneck is at the front, and ive seen a feedneck snap in two before at my local field.

i dont like em id go with a halo b

The Apache uses the a very similar feed idea as the Egg. However it feeds a constant 18bps, whereas the Egg with Z board feeds more like a constant 16bps. Also, the Apache shells are way tougher than the Egg.

If you want to get an evolution 2, just save yourself the trouble and get a Ricochet Apache.

Supposedly feeds just as fast, much better shell, reliable, great company backing it up. If you DO have a problem, they're arguably the best hopper company (support wise) and would be glad to help you out.

That will be my next hopper if I need to upgrade from my 12v Empire Reloader.

Very true, but it feeds faster. Everything else you said is true. Like I said I have both, so I know from experience.

Get a Halo.

[SlipknotX556]

Yeah, get a halo, I hated me evo, broke the first day I used it, battery cover broke off, had to buy new shells.

[wobbles82]

Just rock the Revvy man. Ha, but seriously, if ya want something faster, ya prolly should just get the Halo. I dont prefer the Egg or the Halo, but as of now..id rather take a Halo. My Egg just always felt weird on my Timmy, fed fine and all, just didnt have a right feel. The Halo is a tad heavier, and sorta bulkiesh but it balances out a bit better.

As for now, if my revvy is working, I will use it. I . Love. Revvy. 's.
