eggy2 speed

[joeyarmstrong]

anyone know wat the ACTUAL speed of an eggy2 is with z board?
i know viewloader state its something like 22 but lets face it, we dont use our eggy in labs!


cheers

usually ~13bps

my y board egg feeds 14 consistently in PSP mode

z should be 1-2 bps more but often isnt

Dunno 'bout the z-board, but check the egyy2 with y-board. 17.5 bps, with charged 2 GP 9V batteries. May be with duracell it'll do more.

I think that you'll find the figure varies quite a bit?
I ran a thread quite recently questioning the speed on my egg, i'm currently running a Y board egg and it wasn't feeding above 12bps, nowhere near the "mythical" 19bps suggested in the adverts, and yes my egg is in as new condition and anyone that was following my other thread "yes i've switched batteries and only visually it makes no difference, havn't had a chance to put paint through it yet"
So Joey i don't think you'll get an exact answer.
I'm waiting for my Z board to arrive and i hope that will get me reliably above the 15bps limit as that's all anyone needs really !
I hope so anyway as i like my egg and really don't want to "have" to buy a halo !

I was outshooting my original egg with my EGO at about 12bps (when I had reasonably slow fingers) hence I got a reloader B. I've recently purchased a Z boarded eggy to see if it will feed at 15bps for PA ramping reliably.

Shall let you know the results.

Exactly my problem Rentonc, when my cocker ramps it only hits 12bps because the egg is holding it back, we stuck my cousins halo on and it ran straight to the 15bps cap.
Like you i'm waiting for my Z board to turn up? i'd be interested to know what happens if you get yours before me, so post a reply up matey.
I know it makes their products sound great but manufacturers shouldn't advertise fantasy Bps rates, as it now appears that my y board egg at 12bps isn't an isolated case

my z-board egg only does 12, so good luck guys!!!

 

[Andy Steele]

my z boarded egg does a constant 15bps on ramping with no problems.

have you put crappy batteries in it cozx ive put duracels in mine and its always workt fine

All the motors are different in performance. Sometimes you luck out.

When you see a Nexus egg for sale, someone at one stage sat there with a box of motors testing them to see which ones work better.
