Revvy=ViewLoader Revolution hopper. It's electronic and costs like 40 bux. Start with a regualr hopper first, and if you chop balls alot then get a Revvy. It basically feeds balls into the gun with a little motorized thing.

A revy has a "propeller" that spins around to hit the balls. 12v revys have 4 paddles on the propeller. 12v revys require 2 9 volt batteries to work. With a revy you will be able to get about 12-13 bps (someone correct me if im wrong on that) If you are short on cash or do not want to spend 50 bucks on one you do not need one because 98cs are not full auto, thus you will only be able to pull about 9 bps on it. But if you get one it will be nice to have, although it is not a necessity

A revvy is slang for the ViewLoader Revolution Hopper. They come in several flavors.

9V (6-8 bps) = waste of money
12V (10-12 bps) = consider it
12V w/ Xboard 0.5-1bps faster than normal 12V
The Xboard reacts faster to a ball NOT being in the chamber, thus starts spinning faster to feed faster.

It works like this.

there is a little UV beam in the feed neck. When the beam is broken by the presence of a ball there, it will NOT spin the motor. When the beam is continious (ie, there is no paintball in the feed neck) then the motor will spin, and the little 4-bladed prop will agitate the paintballs until the beam is broken (ie. there is paint in the tube)

it's a very useful thing to have, I would suggest looking at a 12V Xboard or a Ricochet AK.

PM me w/ questions.
