Yes... the first time your Halo runs low on battery or jams 2 balls together (very rare) during a game you will thank me for telling you. And it is fairly cheap to do. |

Yeah, I really do need to get myself one. Nothing sucks more than
being the last guy left in a 3 on one, that you know you can win, when
your Halo jams and your forced to turn your eyes off and just dry
firing, hoping to scare them off until time runs out, happened to me at
my last tourny.

What is RipDrive?
RipDrive is a manual feed mechanism for HALO B. It replaces the mainshaft of the unit and allows manual-preloading of the drive spring. Who is RipDrive for? RipDrive was originally conceived for tournament players who *have* to be in the game. It is available to anyone that wants to have a backup system for if their force feed system goes down or their batteries die. How RipDrive works: By rotating the ripdrive located on the bottom of the loader, the player can feed multiple balls into the ballstack at a time, allowing them to keep playing (at full fire rate!). Depending on the height of your feedneck, you can pre-tension as many as 12-15 balls for firing. Other Benefits: When finished playing at the end of the day, rotating the RipDrive in reverse also allows you to easily unload the tensioned ball stack and empty your HALO B. It also allows you unjam bad paint. It can also be used to pre-load balls at the chrono without turning your loader on. |
