Has anybody seen/tried one of these yet? There are no reviews up on PBR yet, and I may be in the market for a fast hopper soon...

I've never personally used one, but the general consensus is split: Some love the VL thingy, others hate it and want to keep their Halos. This is my useless comment for the day.

They look aight. But I'd take the Reloader B over one of those. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they're like. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

From what I read, it doesn't seem to have anything over the Halo B. |

I heard that it has anti jam software (much like cheeta and the new WAS boards) and thats it faster then a Halo. But seriously, a halo and reloader B are fast enough. You wont be maxin them out unless you're massively ramping. And, it fugly. |

I'm not worried about ramping so much as my madly bouncing RT Pro. It easily outshoots my Egg, and is right on the edge of what a borrowed HALO could do, with occasional skips. I don't mind the look so much - I'm just worried about quality. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

I have found that the Halo B can be tuned a bit to reduce/prevent skips, but truly it is not a real 20 bps hopper. More like a 16 bps machine with no skips. When you get above 17 it starts to skip a ball every 6 to 10 shots...sometimes 2 balls in a row. Different drive cones and more preload can help. But I'd give a new design on the market at least a year before sinking that much money into it. At least get 10 to 20 reviews on it. |
