Revvy mod I did

[Ethon]

I put a new motor in my old 9 volt today. It spins faster than the 12 volt I have and feeds great :)

[simon woodstock]

what kind of 9vt? pre-BE(viewloader 2000) or is it new (made by brass eagle)

'cuz i've gotta get my propeller to spin faster, the reaction time is great, but it just can't keep up.

[Ethon]

Pre-BE. Reaction time = great. Feeds very fast. Faster than 12volt for sure.

[simon woodstock]

that's very true, the reaction time is great but when compared to a BE 12vt the blade spins much slower, so when firing over 10 balls it starts to suffer. is there anyway i could get longer blades or 4 of them? because i don't wanna lose the start up timeto get a faster longterm rof

Personally, I made a 6 blade for my revvy..it spins great and feeds really fast. Its way faster than a 12v but not even close to the HALO.

would you mind telling me how you did that?

[Ethon]

Well I dunno which one you're talking about so I'll explain both :D

For the 6 paddles, I basically took a block of plastic I found from some shelve or something I built before. I just carved it and smoothed it then coated it with rainX.

For the motor, I just used one of those mini hand held fan motors. I had to mod the housing in the Revvy because the motor was too big..I also had to superglue it so it would stay. :( But it works great :)

[simon woodstock]

alright thanks, i'll try both, i dunno if i'm got any of those little fans anywhere though

[Ethon]

You know I've had some people jokingly tell me to try a computer fan..and now I'm thinking of trying it.

Remember when you do the motor mod, be sure you have a soldering iron/gun because you're going to be disconnecting the wires.

Well here's an update:

My friend stole my super hopper and tried it with his spyder with boo-yaah. He said the hopper didn't misfeed at all with the boo-yaah on full auto.

Hopefully this weekend we can try it on their angels, cockers and impulses (damn spoiled people)

What gun do you use, Ethon?

[Ethon]

Currently I'm shooting a Spyder TL but I should have an Impulse soon

[impeachme2]

I know someone who is desperately trying to sell his Impulse turbo for pretty cheap. I also know someone who is selling their shocker tubro in green, with a s/p foregrip for $500.

[Ethon]

Ahhh I won't have the money for another two weeks :(

500 is a wee bit out of my price range though

[impeachme2]

Well, I think it's worth it. An Impulse in black is $400. An Impulse color is $450. For another 50 you can get a gun that is a good amount better than it, in many ways. Plus it is a colored shocker, so it's worth it even more. AND it has a turbo board which is worth another $100. I think it is worth it, but I see what you mean. This deal is very persuading to give in another $50. I was going to buy it, but I found an even better deal... =)
