My R/T will be here today and I want to know if my stock hopper will have a problem keeping up? If so, what should I get? Keep in mind I don't need top of the line. I was thinking a VL elec. Or maybe a Cyclone. Any thoughts will be helpful.

Depends, Cyclo's are great in that you dont need batteries and they don't cycle/agitate when you arent shooting like some crappier loaders. Also its waterproof, as is the R/T.

You could look into the Triumph SSL-200, I hear good things about these. But dont get the cheaper AL-200 one because it doesnt have the sensor and it agitates constantly. ReVvys are alright, but its been done... Theres also the Empire reloader, but thats still pretty much a RevVy...

All are relatively mid ranged loaders.
People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things.

Cyclones will keep up...Triumphs should also keep up.. if you wanna go the extra mile you could buy an Evolution 2 or a Halo which will def keep up with it, stay away from the revy it only feeds a max of 12 bps and the R\T fires 15bps

Cyclones are nice. I have one and like it very much. If I didn't buy my cyclone, I would have bought an egg or halo b.

An eggy is good. I have one. Selectable feedrate up to 19bps. If that isn't fast enough, you can always upgrade the board.

Be aware, cyclone is of course much harder to install compared to the other ones above

if he already has the R/T installed, the cyclone is basically plug-and-play. takes maybe 30 seconds: unscrew the 90* fitting, install the banjo fitting in its place, connect both hoses, and pop on the cyclone. easy as pie.

I have searched this, and that is what I have read. I will need a banjo and connect. Hey revo I know I came off as not knowing much, and no disrespect but like I said: 10 years of rc! I have rebuilt diffs, motors, and trannys! I'm not that Dumm. I think I could handle a cyclone install. The R/T was a easy one. I may still need help getting it dialed, kinda like a carb, right? Any way if I had to buy a hopper I don't want alot of electric noise. I guess I should get cyclone.

If you have an anti-chop tech, the cyclone isn't that necessary. An eggy will be just fine. It's inexpensive and will be able to keep up with the the R/T fairly well.
