My R/T will be here today and I want to know if my stock hopper will have a problem keeping up? If so, what should I get? Keep in mind I don't need top of the line. I was thinking a VL elec. Or maybe a Cyclone. Any thoughts will be helpful.

Depends, Cyclo's are great in that you dont need batteries and they don't cycle/agitate when you arent shooting like some crappier loaders. Also its waterproof, as is the R/T. You could look into the Triumph SSL-200, I hear good things about these. But dont get the cheaper AL-200 one because it doesnt have the sensor and it agitates constantly. ReVvys are alright, but its been done... Theres also the Empire reloader, but thats still pretty much a RevVy... All are relatively mid ranged loaders. ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |

Cyclones will keep up...Triumphs should also keep up.. if you wanna go the extra mile you could buy an Evolution 2 or a Halo which will def keep up with it, stay away from the revy it only feeds a max of 12 bps and the R\T fires 15bps

| Cyclones are nice. I have one and like it very much. If I didn't buy my cyclone, I would have bought an egg or halo b. |

An eggy is good. I have one. Selectable feedrate up to 19bps. If that isn't fast enough, you can always upgrade the board. -------------

Be aware, cyclone is of course much harder to install compared to the other ones above

if he already has the R/T installed, the cyclone is basically plug-and-play. takes maybe 30 seconds: unscrew the 90* fitting, install the banjo fitting in its place, connect both hoses, and pop on the cyclone. easy as pie. ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

| I have searched this, and that is what I have read. I will need a banjo and connect. Hey revo I know I came off as not knowing much, and no disrespect but like I said: 10 years of rc! I have rebuilt diffs, motors, and trannys! I'm not that Dumm. I think I could handle a cyclone install. The R/T was a easy one. I may still need help getting it dialed, kinda like a carb, right? Any way if I had to buy a hopper I don't want alot of electric noise. I guess I should get cyclone. |

If you have an anti-chop tech, the cyclone isn't that necessary. An eggy will be just fine. It's inexpensive and will be able to keep up with the the R/T fairly well. -------------
