Getting Shot Off The Break

Ok so at UKM this weekend my hopper decides to pack up, leaving me as a virtual spectator for 4 games with my gun only able to shoot a string or 2 before stopping. Bloody hopper's not feeding paint consistently, it's fine at slow speeds but once you start to rip it gives up. Now I'm 99% sure it's not the batteries because they were fresh for the tournament, but the drive cone is just not turning. Any ideas?

As beaker says, you have probs broken the small tab on the underside of your drive cone.

Replacements from Planet etc but you have to buy the whole unit for about £15.00.

OR get the Zentrim one from Planet or Skeet which are indestructable for the same money.

you havent cleaned it and then not tensioned the spring? stupid question but you never know. also i was told that afetr a tournament you should unwind the rip drive. mines used to do the same.

if you turn the rip drive anti clock wise when the reloader is off it should work ok. do it for 10 mins.

hope this helps

All our reloaders were having the same problem. Basically your battery won't perform properly in the extreme cold. The cold really affects the output of your batteries throughout the day. I bet you that as soon as it warms up it'll work fine.

Maybe. I think it was our game against you guys where things started to go wrong!
