Just picked up a ir2 over the dye ltr and im glad i did . Its just simple ,easy and gonna do the job everytime. Its the definition of " if it's not broke don't fix it" .
I couldn't tell the difference in feed quality between the spire 4 or the ir2. 10bps now days you don't need a huge amount of force to feed paint. The spire 4 is great but so is the ir2. I actually prefer the removable shell of the ir2 over the hinged shell of spire 4. Feed quality the two are the same great feed. Same speedfeed options. You don’t even need the ramps in the ir2. It feeds fine without the ramps. Just my 2 cents
So this past weekend I experienced something to answer your question of why not eyes. Buddy had IR2, paint broke in his hopper mid game, and eyes were blocked by the paintball that fed. Would not feed. Wouldn't have that issue "recoil" feed hopper. This is rare scenario but would be my answer
I have experienced this a handful of times over 25 years of using eye-equipped hoppers...can happen. Generally, if there is so much paint in the feed tube that the eyes are completely blocked, the soup coming through isn't useful anyway.
I can really tell your sincere honesty on your reviews and let me say it is really refreshing and appreciated. I'm knew to the sport just bought a tippmann stormer elite and have used it twice and love it and was wondering if I could benefit from installing this hopper being that the stormer is mechanical. Thank you in advance for your time and response
Nice review, thank You!!! How about noise of those hoppers? Old Spire 200 and 260 are extremely quiet IMO. And I think that newer BK CRTL is way more louder than those old ones.
Virtue just had a sale on these. Spire II (or 260) crown FR-S, and ramp all for $100 I went with the 260 for the same reasons you mentioned. Why not? Hell of a deal.
Nice review. I've dinked around with that bluetooth feeding as well and while it's cool, functionally I have a hard time seeing the benefit also. Barring some kind of magical break in the feed neck which covers the eyes of the hopper I don't see why most hoppers wouldn't just use yes.
I haven't tried but I would assume so; the IR2 tray fits all of the Spire 260 shells I have. You'd think the reverse would ne true. I don't have an og Spire tray here to confirm it, but I'd call it 97% yes.
I really like your videos, I would like to get your opinion on the cs1, and also in one of your videos you mentioned you send barrel backs to someone to have bored out to fit a freak barrel insert, could you send me that contact info please? Thank you
The only benifit incoukd see is the low ball and low battery light on the spire 4. But the rechargable lbattery has a battery check light and your still $20 under a spire 4. The ctrl is all feel. The balance u find it has with my squish is amazing. Thats subjective as Fuck though. The ltr speed feeds go as low as $10 but I would spend the $17 on the hk army speed feed at the lowest as I found the $8 I bought tore mid tournamet and jammed the loader. So in conclusion, im waiting for a deal on an ir260 lol
Come back.. we're did you go.. love your format
Just picked up an IR2 260 with an HK Army speed feed & I LOVE it! Wish you were still doing these awesome reviews!
Can’t wait for the next video
love your content I hope you keep it up
Hope you make more videos soon, your opinion on Dye M3+ was exactly what everybody needs to hear.
How’s this guy doing love the vids

I’ve used my IR2 260 a bunch now and I love it. The extra size is negligible but dumping a pod in is so much easier.

If you’re just having fun and aren’t competing you’re a absolutely right
@@the1andonlykk320how is a spire 4 going to help you compete better than an IR2?
@the1andonlykk320 there is 0 advantage in any way re: competition for the Spire 4.
Love my IR2 and speedfeed! Never felt like I needed anything more.
Rotors next also loving the super in depth reviews and keeping it real.
How is that SF-R rubber speedfeed? Cost aside, I like the design (in theory) better than the others.

@@airtimepaintball463 agreed. It wasn't a terrible mess. Love your channel
I miss your uploads man. Hope all is well
3 or 4 times a year is a ton?

No not really
You’ll want an electric hopper when your dealing with an electric gun
Just curious, can you just buy a 260 top shell to add to an ir2? And Dave, how many hoppers do you own lol?
I haven't heard yet re: just being able to buy the top shell. I'll update when/if that happens.
How many hoppers? All of them I think :)
@@airtimepaintball463 do you have a VL2000? Ricochet AK? VMech M1?
@@rickbirmingham2055 I have a 1st gen Ricochet, and a VL3000.
I recently got a IR2 260 and evo speed feed. I was tired of my LTR jamming and so far I’ve had better luck with the IR2.
Nice review, thank You!!!

Hey love your content! Was wondering what your thoughts are on the dye ltr hopper.. thanks
I use a old 260 shell with ir internals on my backup gatt and it’s awesome. Eyes just make sense. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Will The try or Guts of my original Spire fit it the new Shell? Great Review Keepup the good work

Agree! My fav loader by far
I can tell from this video that this guy gets absolutely SHITFACED at events and I respect it. Sold me on this hopper my drunk brother :)
