ive been considering getting a new electronic hopper, but everytime i hear a good review about one i hear an equally bad review about the very same hopper. Right now im trying to decide between a Revvy 12v and a Halo TSA backman........ any help would be greatly appreciated

thnx --- r4z3

I just bought aa 12v Xboard revvy for my Viking as a backup, they're proven reliable hoppers and very cheap. I haven't used it much yet but I like it alot, my friend had a tsa backman and it the shells cracked so easily.

You can replace the prop inside with a JMJ one and its supposed to increase feed rate but that might just be another myth

Dont get the TSA!! I had one and it was terrable, they advertise a faster feed rate but it doesn't feed near as fast as my friends revvy.

The reason I said I had it is becuase the feed neck snaped and countpaintball was nice enough to let me send it back and get a new hopper.

Trust me on this one get a revvy.

^^ its a new one.

The new ones are made by viewloader which im pretty sure is owned by brass ealge but still not as bad, either way the only complaint they ahve had since viewloader bought it out was that the shell noticably more brittle now.

I have a new revvy and its black/coarse plastic and it doesn't feel brittle at all, I thought the shells that cracked were the ones with a smooth finish.
