What are the speeds for the different setting on a Reloader B? (1,2,3)

Also it says not to put paint in 'til the hopper is on... Is that actually true?

Cheers.

Russ :)

dont know about the speeds but its true about not putting paint in till youve turned it on as the cone does a test when you turn it on and you could crush the paint. they also reckon you should do it in a quiet place though at a tourney this aint easy, i just whack mine under a tshirt or jumper then turn it on.

hey russ,

I wouldn't go too bonkers about the quiet calibration thing - anywhere reasonably quiet seems to be fine.

Deffo true about the turning it on first - as I found out the first time i used mine where mid game i discovered I had a ball jammed in the anti-jam mechanism...

I had such a bad experience of Syd's Reloader on Speed 3 (I didn't know it was) that i almost ddn't get one, and thought from advice I was given they were incompatible with Ions. That's very much not true (as Pinki pointed out to me) but on anything other than marbles, Speed 3 = paint soup.

I'm always on speed 2 and it's fine...

Thanks guys. Another question again :D

After a game, if you've still got paint in the hopper, is it best to empty it to conserve battery life or just leave it on?

P.S please forgive me, us Cornish were not blessed with common sense ;)

leave it turned on all day

(hence by bafflement in hitting the snake in leg 4 with a brand new reloader because the board on the old one was duff and finding there was nada there. Frantic rip drive action ensured. After the game it turned out Your Mum had switched it off at the end of the previous game to save battery!!)

Halo speeds can't be changed unless you upgrade the board to a V35 board or an Angry Board which will give you different speed settings
