My birthday is comming up and my Mom said she would spend a maximum of $150. I really want to get that zap hopper or the richoshey. Any suggestions?

Maybe I'm just cheap...but my 12v Revvy works really well (remember...we are talking tippys here...not angels) so I'm sure they are even better w/ the X-boards...why not get 1 of those and have some cash for something else...just a thought. Just remember...more money is not always better...besides...you don't even have an R/T or E-bolt. Don't spend more money than you need to on a hopper.

Palmer Stabilizer/Regulator. According to Richy_C anyway. Makes for consistent shooting.

PMI regulator is one of the cheaper ones. I cant wait to get mine.
It regulates the amount of gas entering your gun, its easier on the internals, makes your gun quieter, you get a few extra shots out of a tank, and it gives you much better accuracy and less chopped balls. It can also act as a expansion chamber, just of course not as good as a real expansion chamber.
I'd Go with a PMI regulator (cheapest) or some other regulator, you will be happy with it.
But if your gonna decide on a hopper then If i were you i'd get a ricochet, i love those...they got a lcd screen with shot counter, and game timer, they look awesome I think, but they will hold about 20 less balls then a viewloader 12v. They are faster feeding then the VL12v w/o the xboard, and require only 1 9volt.

specter just get a r/t and a 12v revvy, the richocet(sp) has all of that stuff on it like the lcd screen and stuff, but i think it is just more things that could break, also at county a 12v revvy w/x-board is $56, a richocet is $86, the revvy wll feed as fast as the richocet.:D

Actually a richochet will fire faster then a revy (x-board or not), and if u despute this, well yer just wrong. I have seen this in action. We're not talking about a huge difference, but slightly noticable. Not that it maters on a stock M98 tho. If u have R/T then get the richochet.

im tellin you if you have a r/t u will only need a 12v revvy with x-board, look at all the pros i see alot more revvys than richocets
See more revvys why? Hmmmmm.... oh right, I forgot... they're sponsored so they HAVE to use Revvys.
Hell, I know of a team that just sold their halos for like 80 bucks because they just got sponsored by JT... and are now forced (by forced, I mean done so to keep the sponsorship) to use the Revvys. Not too happy to give up the Halo, but the sponsorship is more important.

yeah the PMI (pure E inline) is cheaper, but it's a PIECE OF GARBAGE!
I didn't even get to use it before I had to ship it to them. the set screw fell out (binding the spring) before I could get the LP valve to seat.
screw that piece of garbage.
