Well, I'm not really new here but what ever. I have a viewloader revolution tripod with x-board. I want to upgrade to a better hopper.   What do you think is a good hopper for a 98 custom pro with these specs.

Tippmann 98 custom pro
Lapco Bigshot 14"
6 pods
E-trigger
GTA double trigger
Regulator
Low pressure kit
VL revolution tripod with x-board
48ci 3000psi  


ok now can you please tell me a good hopper that can feed 20+ bps??

Thanks in advance,
-Deadaim349

Reloader B, Halo, Q loader, or Pulse will all do 20+

what  about for  around 85 dollars? Also what upgrades would you recommend  for  Reloader B, Halo, Q loader, or Pulse if I would get that?

I would suggest spending money now on a Halo or something of that nature, so you will never really have to upgrade again.

A stock Halo or a Vlocity Junior would be the cheapest options, both hovering a little under 100 new. Halos might be cheaper nowadays. I forget.

I don't know what upgrades (if any) are available for the VLJ right now, but for the Halo I recommend:

  • Delrin drive cone (Critical, Zenitram, Hybrid, etc.)
  • Delrin spring cup (Critical)
  • Good batteries

Can your marker hit 20bps? I use a Dye LCD Matrix with an optical board in it and I still just use my 12VRevy (no x board) or empire reloader with it and rarely get a mis-fed round. I played the other day w/o the eye turned on and didn't even chop a ball. I guess if you're wanting to go full-tilt on auto, then yes, a 20bps+ hopper is a good investment, but unless you're currently experiencing feed problems, I'd save your money and buy a Halo or something off of e-bay down the road when you either switch markers or start having issues.

Yesterday when I was playing i used my revy. Then i tried my friends hopper on my gun, and I could shoot so much better and it consistently feed it. I think my friend had an avalanche or apache or something like that. Also what do you think is the best board for a halo?

If I'm shooting like  4 bps just doing something like  just shooting slowly  will it still be good? Will it push the balls to fast and make them brake or something? BTW I am talking about all this with just the standard halo B?

1. Is it a good price 87$ for a like new halo b with a Brand new shell(red),Brand new motor, Brand new drive housing, Brand new drive cone, Brand new jam guard beads, Brand new wiring, the only things that aren't new are the Lid the Rip Drive the board and board plate.   Is 87$ a good price for that?

Or

2. Is it a good price for 77 dollars for a Like NEW Halo B it Feeds 24 BPS, IT is missing the battery door, as an Empire reloader lid.


Thanks for all your help guys,

First one would be better. A new door is like 5 bucks or something, so it's not worth it.

I'd suggest hybrid shells for it because if you ever break paint you can clean it out much easier and i belive they have warrenty about the shells breaking.

DeadAim. I saw those two deals on ebay and when it said 24 bps, I was skeptical about his knowledge. It is the same guy selling both of those halos, but he has a pretty good feedback.

A stock Halo with good batteries can drop 24. Feed 24? No.

Why do you need 20bps when most tourneys limit you to 15bps max? are you playing on an outlaw field or just a above average field with good insurance? p.s. unless you are ramping just try to pull 20bps (its awkward if not impossible for the better majority of people to do.
table of what really makes your marker work
*Gnomes= autocockers
*Fairies= Angels
*Pixies= Timmys
*leprachauns= tippys
*goblins= spyders
*elves= mags    
*lawyers= smartparts
Ya I'm that smart
