Revy x-board vs. Halo

[BONES]

I know there is a thread on this but it doesn't give me the facts I need. I have heard, rumors that the halo hopper damages the sensi on speeds (cracks the rod or damages the plastic under the rod). How many people that have halos have the problem? I heard a guy say his egg2 cracked his....Any techs out there have some advice, please only answer if you know hwat your talking about. I hate my egg2 and I'm either going to get a revy with x-board or a halo. That plasic piece under the sensi, is that hard to replace? Will I have to send my speed in if it gets cracked? Who would say halo over revy, and who would say revy over halo?

I say stick with the evo2.

[BONES]

I really don't like my evo2, I'm already selling it. Can anyone help out with my question?

hey bones i broke my sensi and it wasnt loader related. but as for switching sensis its quite easy take the frame off the gun leave the red wires connected then open the frame disconect the green wire and fallow that wire to the sensi take a small allen rench and pry it up. take the new one and place it down (this is kinda hard its a snug fit.) then connect and close everything not to bad.
and if you hate your egg so much get a lowrise and get your halo its going to be a hella lot of money and fricken huge but you dont like your egg for sumreason...

[MoogLe]

why dont you like the egg? and also i doubt a loader would put enough pressure on the sensi to break the sensor, and it's very easy to replace and not very expensive

[BONES]

Punkd, I didnt meen liek how hard is it to actually do the labor to fix I meant is it hard to get another sensi piece and all that. The speed comes with a rod but not a new "kit" if you will. How did you get your sensi stuff to fix it? Also, I already have a lowrise so....I'm set right there.

okay you can order a cops sensor (same as the sensi) from any one of the AOG sponsors. It'l cost you about $20. Replacing it is about 5 minutes work.

I think i was the one who started the rumors about the halo damaging the sensi, i'm still not sure wether it has been damaged by the halo or just some piece of shell which got stuck between the bold and the gun. However i still use the halo B, in fact i wil never use anything else! (i own an egg II, halo B and revy)
The egg is nice for a number of reasons, but just not my thing. It sometimes skipps a ball etc, etc. THe revy is just to slow to keep up (i'm a backplayer).

my advice; go with the halo! if you are unsure ask someone if you can try it sometimes

PS the odyssey service is fantastic, BE is not!

[BONES]

Thanks Burley. Karma fo' you. WEll said, all the info I need.

[p8ntballdude]

it all depends. i like my halo when im playin tourneys, or serious anyway. cuz i usually play back. but when i play rec i like to have fun and play front. if u play front like snake i would reccomend revvy cuz its a lot lighter and less bulky then the halo IMO. but the halo is good for anybody who doesnt have to lie down in there bunker. it flat out rips with the halo on. and i haven't had any problems with the sensi being damaged, and i have used it several times. put a little over 2 cases thru with my halo. so i just keep both to have and make a decision.

the guy who said the egg broke his sensi rod was smokin a sausage....a sausage crap

How does he know it was the egg? my guess it that it wasnt.

I'd say stick with the egg. If you have no need to shoot over 14bps then go with the revvy/x board/ impellar. If you like crackin sensi rods, then go with the halo

Don't you contradict yourself right there? Considering sensi rods have broken for both halo, and non-halo users, I don't consider the halo as being a probable cause. When you factor in that a force pushing DIRECTLY DOWN on the sensi rod, can't do any damage to the rod (at most it would damage the sensor underneath the sensi rod). The only way for the rod itself to be damaged is if some force is directed perpendicular to the rod, thus snapping a piece of it off- i.e. a shell blocking the channel in the bolt.

[BURLEY]

Thx Bones!

IF youre playing front while using a halo, you can hold your gun almost horizontally and still rip. That means that you can reduce your profile very much when snapping out of the snake. NOrmally the op-force would see the hopper first then the rest of you, now they will only see a small piece of your mask, hopper and gun....
the halo weighs more then the revy, but ask yourself is it really so much more that it's a disadvantage? Will it really make you slower?


Dark & Jose; it's not about the rod, it's about whats under it!!!

Isn't that what I said!? I haven't heard of too many problems with that either, most people are just experiencing their rod breaking. And most of the ppl that do have that problem, find it that way out of the box (i.e. sensi test failing).

mine was free. it was still under warrenty contact who ever you got it from...

[BONES]

Wow, let's not all get in a fight over this. I do think BURLEY said it right though :) Mad props BURLEY!

[BURLEY]

okay, Josy, perhaps i came out a lill strong, sorry.
i misread your post :doh:

punkd you are a lucky man, most techs say that that is a part that doesn't fall under the warranty

[p8ntballdude]

ok, heres my theory about why both the rod and the yellow strip break. i think the some rods are made at diferent lengths by accident, and they stick up to much and either catch the bolt and snap, or get shoved under the bolt and crack the yellow strip. or a piece of shell gets behind the sensi rod and catches the bolt, thus cracking the rod. or once again could push down on the rod and once again snap the yellow strip. just my theory, and its seems logical to me.

I am able to believe that more than saying halos jsut break the yellow strip from pressure.
