Intellifeed

[TriggaSteve]

I was thinking about getting an intellifeed, but I was wondering two things; 1. Does it work as well as it say, is it stable and can you shoot quickly on it. And 2. As I was looking for prices I saw on paintballgear that they have the "Angel Revoluton upgrade kit" for 18 dollars, but then they have the "Angel LCD Intellifeed Kit" for 50 dollars!:wall: Thats a huge difference and the only thing that I saw was different was that there was a thing that looked like a sight rail thingy and they were colored. I know I have the hole for the intellifeed but I was wondering if there was a difference in performance or something along those lines.

[Emmit]

the more expensive one contains the intellifeed site rail, the wiring from the rail to the board, and the wire from the rail to the hopper (which has to be soldered)

the cheaper one is just the wire for the hopper

and yea it works pretty well, feeds pretty consistent at 13 bps i'd say, i set my cmrof at 15bps and got no problems with chopping, although i have cops so i wouldnt know if it would work as well on an lcd although i doubt it would be as good

[Crazy Train]

I used intellifeed on my LCD and it worked great! No 9V batteries to worry about but I found myself outshooting it constantly when I made quick bursts.

[C.Carles-AOG]

I have it and love it. I didn't solder my connections either so I can reverse it if I ever wanted to. Emmit was correct on the differences you saw in both "kits".

You still have to use batterys with intellifeed correct? I have an intellifeed hopper that I got in non-working condition and I'm waiting to fix it so I figured now was a good time to ask.

no, the hopper runs off the battery of the marker. You no longer need 9v batteries after you hook up the intellifeed.

[TriggaSteve]

I heard you dont need a board in the hopper either since its controlled by the angel right? and what is soldering and whatnot...i thought you just had to hook it up and go, so i heard at the field i play at...

[Emmit]

the wiring goes straight to the motor.......so no eye is needed, and the battery plug isn't needed either.....takes a lot of weight out of the hopper.

i had an intellifeed revvy, revvy w/ xboard, and egg...lets just say the intellifeed was the last one i used....:sad:

[CNR_Kain]

I just got the intellifeed today. It's not as good as I expected, because I keep out running it. My MROF is set at 13. It was my first day out with it so maybe I just have to get used to it. You have to shoot more than one shot to get the motor to run, so don't try to save paint with " one shot one kill ". Overall I still don't know if it was money well spent, but time will tell.

can you use intellifeed on other hoppers, as in a ricochet 2k, because you guys are talking about soldering it to the motor, and my motor has the two prongs, which the other wires are connected to, and im wondering if i can just connect the intellifeed wires to the board and if it will work.

[cody11scrappy]

im not for sure, i have seen some of them put on eggs but a bunch of mods were necisary im not for sure bout ricochets tho.

[mobat555]

Just looking over this thread. I am wondering if the guys who have awesome results from the intellafeed on their revy have 6 paddles. The guys who are out running it have the original 4 paddle? Just an observation on why it may not be working well for some.

[Emmit]

that would be the "vortex" impeller, or some people have modified the old Evlution impellers. They do fit on the motor, but they don't necessarily give you a speed increase. They are simply smaller paddles that run less risk of blocking the feed hole.

[rise]

what if, someone gets a REALLY lucky shot, and hits your intellifeed wire, are you basically screwed for the rest of the round?
i know it's close to impossible to hit the little wire, but what if it does happen, probably the obvious "it won't work" would satisfy the question.

you would just plug it back in, and if they hit it the ball will most likely break anyway so you would be out, even if the plug breaks, which it likely wont, remember revs can still be used without the motor

[rise]

gotcha...thanks

[Emmit]

unfortunately shooting the wire would not necessarily cause you to be eliminated.....do you have a quarter sized hit on your body or your gear?:wink:

unless the ref physically watching it happen, he may or may not be able to prove that you were in fact hit.....:wink:

that's called playing the grey area boys and girls, make the ref prove you are hit before pulling your armband.

[Hep]

In the 5 years Ive been using intelifeeds with various Angel versions I have never been shot on my intelifeed wire. Which obviously means it has never came disconnected from bieng shot and I can only count on one hand how many times it has every came unlpugged durng a game. Nothing to worry about IMO.

true, but dont forget it might splatter all over your gun if it hits it good

Can u intellifeed yur halo?

Or will hooking up intellifeed on an egg work at 19bps?

no and no

[Pottorf]

What does the intelli feed do, does it spin the revy each time u pull the trigger? or does it make it feed faster?

[Emmit]

in the LCD when you achieve a ROF greater than 2bps it causes the Revolution to start spinning, therefore you'll never have a pause as your paddles will always be spinning instead of waiting for a gap in the paint.

[Paintballislife]

ok now is the reloader motor a good investment? cause its 6 paddles, no 4, and a faster motor, but i guess it doesnt matter cause its not the ful 12v it needs

[Emmit]

once you intellifeed it then it doesn't matter whether it's a reloader or a revolution....you're still not gonna get anymore than 6v

[Paintballislife]

wonder if it would be possible to put in a voltage multiplier..

[Pottorf]

Do u think the intellin feed will keep up over 16 bps?

no, not a chance

[Jose_Rico]

You all should realize that intellifeeding a revvy actually slows it down. An angel battery is roughly 6v, whereas a revvy is either 9v or 12v. Plus the battery is also being used to power the gun, so you would lose voltage there as well.

[Paintballislife]

i doubt it, the revvy can barely keep u[p with 12v, let alone 6v, half the speed, i dont think im choppin, i think my refresh sucks cause my crappy tank. i think im gettin one steady burst then a ball going like 100, just enough to get out the barrel, then a fresh 280 and they are hittin each other.
