Force Fed Hoppers

SportsJunky · 07-29-2008, 11:08 AM

I have been using my ricochet hopper for the past few years and now it is doing as well as I would have hoped. I am looking to maintain a light weight hopper, but also have a force fed hopper. Any suggestions, other than a q loader.

Thanks

XSV Vlocity and get the Virtue chip for it. Sell the XSV chip that comes with it to a Vlocity junior user for a few $.

Rechargeable batteries that last long and trouble free feeding. A lot lighter than a halo/reloader B. Programmable settings to suit your needs

I've had good luck with both Velocities and Torques.

I know it's not the sexy pick, but the Torque is a pretty simple design.
So if you're just looking for something based upon ease of use (beyond reliability and rate of fire) then I'd suggest giving it a looksie.

Get a used halo or reloader b for like $50-70 and you will be fine.

The NXE Jrny is supposed to be lightweight, durable, and great on battery life.

Not that it means anything, but here is the pbreview for it:

Looks innovative and light. I will probably pick one up when I can get one. Hopefully they become readily available soon.

Here is the youtube introduction of it. The meat and potatoes comes at about 3 minutes.

Velocity with a Gangstar chip. Go with the junior if you want small, full size if you want more capacity. If you go with an XSV Velocity, make sure it has the new clock spring in it. The original ones broke very easily, though VL will replace them with no problem.

Harb he requested a LIGHT WEIGHT hopper, Halo weighs a ton compared to vlocity

Is the only difference between the velocity jr and velocity the capacity difference of 20 balls? also does any one know of a place to by the boost velocitys? the battery pack the is rechargeable thru the external shell?

Thanks

People really need to lift some weights if a hopper is to heavy.

Hyperdrive makes some good chips for the V/Vjrs.

my vote would be the vl or vl jr, gangstar chip, TK battery pack.
