It is called a Revolution and you can abbreviate it however you want IE... Revi or Revy or Revvy:rolleyes:

Anyways, it is probably the batteries. Try a new set and let me know if it still has a problem.;)

make sure that you always top up your hopper that way if you angle the gun down it shouldnt start up other than that try an get x2 rechargable batteries they will pay for them selves after about the 5th change over in batteries:p

I've seen Rev's with bad boards eat up batteries like crazy. Even good quality batteries. Usually it's the transistor on the older model circuit boards that causes this. If you have a late model board (like the x-board) it's probably bad batteries or as has been suggested, the way you're using it.

If you do have one of the older boards just buy a new one. An x-board, a turbo-rev or one of the other boards that have just come out. I've x-boards in 3 of my Rev's and a Turbo-Rev in the hopper I use the most and I prefer the Turbo-Rev.

Good luck!

I like the turborev, except that it drains batteries (slowly) even when switched off. So you have to remember to disconnect them after every day you play. But it runs happily off 8.4v rechargables, so as long as I make sure they're charged before going out, it works like a dream.
