It might rain on Sunday, and I'm playing on that day, and I'm
wondering, will the rain effect my eVLution 2 in any way, so it won't
work/break? Thanks. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

My guess would be if water got inside the hopper(where you pour the paint into) it might break. Who knows? ------------- Tippmann 98c with lapco bigshot 12in barrel, Palmer Stabilizer/32* 0-1200 microgauge. |

shouldnt hurt a thing. Unless while your loading in a game, and hopper lid wide open, and water gets in a crack. thats about it, *if**if**if* with a 1/1,000,000 change of some getting in there. I have played, rain, sleet, snow, mud, u name it, ive played it, and never had a problem..even since i got my revvy.. ------------- Spyder Imagine 2k4 --- -14" Custom barrel -DOP Xcore 8stage X Chamber -DOP Bullet Drop -12v Revvy w/x board ---- |

| i would just cover it. put it all over the board so it doesnt get inside the hopper. |

Playing in the rain is usually a sloppy mess...
Paintballs don't like water. Hoppers are usually sealed pretty well, so I wouldn't worry too much unless you plan to submerg the hopper. -------------

It shouldn't affect the hopper at all. The board is comleatly seperate from the actual body and feedneck. The Evo motor is fully encased with in its own body making it pretty hard to break the motor unless you fully submerge it under water. -------------
