The LTR is my favorite force feed hopper. Just set the tension lower and it never jams and can feed anything. The Revy is light and if you have the right shells that don't break, you don't really need anything else

I know I'm late but how do you set the tension lower?

I'm still using my Halo with the V35 board. Never jammed, just batteries dying.

That stuttering happens with the Spire as well. Anything above 10.5 like even just pure mechanical, because you can get bursts of high bps, the rotor is the way to go.

It'll happen to any loader that can not keep the the ball stack 100% full either through the gravitational pressure of a "Raceway" or via the torque of a feeder arm. The key is for faster than 10.5? either one goes with agitation+ a longer ( preferably spiral to make it space efficient ) "raceway" such as in The old Apache Ricochet or preferably Pinnokio loaders. Or one goes with force fed but a LOW torque geared motor hooked to the linkage of the feeder pawl such as in the LVL, Valken Switch Loader, HK TFX or the latter day HALO's, Prophecy Z2, or LTD with it's adjustable RPM & torque settings. The Rotor (ALL versions) definitely keeps the ball stack full, but it does so at high torque, which equates to high pressure on the paintballs... Which can lead to more chops.

I've been playing paintball for over 30 years. Revolution loader is an agitated loader. It's got a power feeding loader. two totally different system And don't forget the Halo was the first successful power feed loader

DYE Rotor : Fantastic 'till it suddenly *isn't.* The Rotor works for a LOT of players.. but it does NOT like Humid environments, cold, super fragile high end paint, or Reballs. All of those conditions turn them into "Fantastic Jam-O-Matics". Of note? The Viewloader Revolution is slower because there's zero force feeding, just agitation. There's a reason why they are still popular: because they are near "unkillable", light and have great battery life. But you bet your rear people like me hooked our Revolutions to AGD Warp Feeds as quickly as we could in 2000. Because that was the first Force feed system. The Revi kept things agitated feeding to the Warp smoothly and held a good quantity of paint, the added warp feed gave it speed via a "racetrack" and 2 gentle but much more forceful and higher RPM silicone paddles. More importantly? That "raceway" guaranteed no "breaks" in the loading cycle, just a steady FAST stream of paint loaded to the marker. Before the AGD Warp Feed? Didn't matter how fast your marker was the most you could shoot were small bursts of 12 BPS maximum no matter what marker you had. One could match that BPM with a decent *Bone-Stock Factory configuration* hinge framed Autocoker and some training. Because *EVERYONE was running a Revolution across the board.* Enter the warp feed? and now suddenly those fast RT Automags, E-Mags, Angels, Intimidators, Bushmasters, Defiants, Et Cetra could now REALLY run as the one major limiting factor was GONE. When the Rotor came out It sparked the height of the "Speed Wars" where everyone was building loaders & markers to go faster and faster. DYE had a ht on their hands...but it came at a cost. Namely? High Torque. High torque with mid to training grade paint is not that big of a deal, but With brittle paint the torque would pre-stress the paintballs which usually lead to bore breaks. This gave the Rotor a reputation of being a "Very fast soup bender" among a LOT of players. Here we are with the "Speed Wars" having been done for over a decade and the high torque is still haunting us, the Rotor still lives up to it's promises, but these days speed isn't the End All Be All.. Being gentle on paint while still feeding 10.5 BPS is. In this style of play? A Simple Revolution actually shines, as the upside to merely being an agitated loader is that there is ZERO torque applied to the paintballs. Agitation alone = no pressure beyond gravity. Gravity at the short distance of under 3 inches of travel is a very gentle constant. DYE could "fix" this problem of being tough on paint with simple alteration : A lower torque motor & gearing to the feed pawl. as for humidity , cold and reballs? The "fix" there would be to engineer a interchangeable aftermarket "soft" feed pawl. If the two changes were coupled? The Rotor would be slower ( down to about 20 BPS Maximum , 15 BPS averages) but it would make it a VERY reliable in almost all conditions *Gentle* loader.

Dye rotors actually have adjustable tension which can help a little bit. From the factory they are pretty harsh on paint. But set it too low and you'll get inconsistent feeding.

@@Apophis-en9pi they do have adjustable tension but you pointed it out yourself : it's really got two large extremes either not working due to too little tension...or pre-damaging paint due to too much torque. The Rotor was fine when it came out 14 years ago.. bit it's very long in the tooth and has been supplanted even so far back as a decade ago I n regards to reliable alternatives that don't choke & puke if things are not 100% optimal.

@@reignick1133 I just continue to use mine because I've had it forever, but if I was to get a hopper today it'd be a spire of some sort. I started playing tourneys back in 2007, when we were playing at 15bps - just madness. Like you said, the days of BPS mattering are over. All about the gentleness now. Happy ballin!

You briefly mentioned that revvys are lighter, how much lighter is a revy compared to a rotor

If your marker doesn't have ramping or if you can't get above 10 balls per sec on single fire , just get a revvy
