evo II mods....

   Would cutting an Evo II impeller, which has 6 paddles, down to 3 paddles so that 2 balls would sit between each one speed up the hopper feed rate at all? I tested it already with 10 trials and it averaged out at about 17.4 balls per second(without y nor z board) Would this work at all or have you heard of anyone doing this?

	I dont think it would make much different becosue there still only 6 balls there. It would really only increase maybe a fraction of a second.

	I've heard of the mod before, but it involves cutting out only two of the paddles. But the mod is usually done after upgrading the board. With the new board installed, sometimes the impeller turns so fast that the paintballs won't fall into it, removing a couple paddles supposedly helps.
	For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know,

	You are close, the actually mod is to cut down all but 2 pellers, this will increase the feed rate by around 2 or 3 balls. With a z-board, you could probably get close to the halo's speed.
