    Posted: 22 November 2005 at 11:18am
I have a 98c with a lapco bigshot 12" and a palmer stabilizer using CO2. I want to buy the cyclone system but have a few questions.

Is it alot heavier?

Tips on installation, things to watch out for?

Will it work with the Response Trigger easily if I get that later? I read somewhere, which may not be correct, that i need some sort of additional special screw to fasten it all together properly. Anyone know what I am talking about? :) The R/T isn't really a priority. I just want a reliable feed system.

Thanks in advance for any info!

I personally don't like the Cyclone. I think you can get better hoppers for the $. Like the Evo 2. But it's really your choice. As for your Q's. No, I don't think it's much heavier than a standard E-hopper. As for installation; I never installed one, but it should be pretty straight-forward (if you follow the directions). And if you get the R/T also, you'll just need to get a "T" fitting to be able to hook up both.

It is a little heavier...but you should suspect that..I don't really notice it...but see usually Electric hoppers are alot heavier because they have all those wires, motors, and batteries

There really isn't anything to watch out for...except maybe when you unscrew the two small bolts to take out the old powertube be carefull cuz you can strip the inside...and it won't be able to screw in

It will work witha r/t but you need to call tippmann to get a T fitting...they may give it to you for free...or make you pay a little money...idk.

    okay first of all the cyclone system really sucks. i hated it. it adds extra wieght and takes hopper hits like mad. my advice is you should get a much better hopper for the same price or cheaper.you dont have a e-bolt so you dont have to go to fast anyway. i have a ricochet apache lcd which rocks for a hopper. even revis work great on 98's. please take my advice and dont get the cyclone. it just a big hassle

I love my cyclone. With a super r/t and a cyclone with qev kit and   R-5 hopper, you are unstoppable. I don't think it adds much weight at all, much like a regular e-hopper. The best thing is no batteries! Go ahead wade across that deep creek. Would you do that if you had electronics? The answer is no. The cyclone is the ultimate woodsball feeding system.

cyclones are really nice because the have no batterys or electronics and they still keep up with your fireing rate you dont need to spen $150 on da hopper that loads balls faster that you can shoot.

Cyclones can only feed effectively up to 16. Most of the people with R/T's (he said he's getting one later) can fire past 16, as where the Cyclone would be ineffective. So sometimes you need to spend a little more $. And Halo B's w/o Rip only run 110, not 150.

but if you would have read rossy....you can get a QEV kit and make the cyclone go faster....then it is able to keep up with the r/t

The R/T wouldnt outshoot the cyclone anyway. Because of the additional air use from the cyclone it would slow down the R/T so that it can keep up.

This is my point exactly.  I love my cyclone because i am a woodsball sniper.  the cyclone looks big and obnoxious.  but it is awesome.  my gun used to chop like crazy.  and yes I love the fact that i don't need to stop shooting just to swap out my batteries.  A good hopper is about 110 to 150 but how much money would you waste on batteries if you are a regular paintballer?  I am about to get my r/t and i think that the two combined is gonna kick butt, but I do think that if you are going rec ball or speed ball you probably should go with a different setup.

Incorrect. I have an R/T and Cyclone and have to tone the R/T down a bit to avoid outshooting my Cyclone.
