| My dad just bought a 98 with a flatline and wants to buy a faster hopper for it. Which would better for mostly woods ball, also he want to put an R/T on it. |

well I voted for the halo because if you get an R/T
and tweak it good enough you can get 20bps and thats in the halo range so consider that -------------

Your dad's r/t isn't going to be going 22 bps. A revvy will keep up with it or if you want to go a step up, get the egg. |

Why? Eggs are better and cost about the same or less. |

the eggy only does 17bps, the apache does 20, how is that the better?
plus the eggy looks fugly, and the apache doesnt, and the apache has a
deflection design that actually does work(i've tested it) and the eggy
definitly doesnt

I like the Ricochet better because i have prodlems with the battery door on the egg and yes the deflection desing works but half the time it deflects into your gogle ------------- glurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurkglurk |

Both hoppers feed 19 bps and the eggy is 20 bucks cheaper. Do looks matter anyways? If you are willing to pay $20 because of the deflection design, go right ahead. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=_tBmQAJu0eVmaECAVmWm6AjIAT3_k5lskEM=?ProductID=uTmsFAY73FoAAAD3t0ClA_2t - eggy http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=_tBmQAJu0eVmaECAVmWm6AjIAT3_k5lskEM=?ProductID=S7esFAY7D30AAAD6Zrp1Mofk - apache |

actualy the correct comparison to the eggy would be the LED version of the apache, not the LCD version http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=FDzp5p1rFu_pLN-bDq4pTpfNKg-27gZpeq8=?ProductID=%2ePmsFAY7CV8AAAD8euPJWqlT - Apache LED ------------- http://model98.org/">

the LCD version just has an LCD on the back that has a whole bunch of
extras and stuff, like a game timer, low battery inticator and alarm

Get the Egg Z-Boarded for an up-to 22-23 bps feed rate (drop test) and the latest shells have better door ears and battery doors. |

before you buy, take a look at a Q-loader. They can shoot 31+ BPS, and are similar to a warp feed. They are spring loaded tubes, or clips, and can be put anywhere on the gun. I think they are a good idea for a woods baller.
Pros: 31 BPS, can mount the tube anywhere on the gun (smaller profile), quick loading, no batteries, and you can shoot the gun reguardless of the angle you are on. Cons: the tubes are expensive, and time consuming to fill. Cant top off the hopper(tubes) during game play. 100 rounds/ tube I think it would be great to add to a flatline/ RT 98. IT will keep up with the gun, allow you to tilt the gun on the side, and fairly quick to load. Check out qloader.com |
