 Have you ever played Paintball? Let me tell ya.. There is nothing like shooting your buddy about 40,000 times and watching them get pissed. =) Here is a mod that allows your "Halo B" loaders to basically double (if not triple) their speed.
This is for the Halo B loaders made by odyssey paintball products. It
doubles (or triples the power that goes to the motor for speeds up to
40 bps.
Of course, If you try this and mess up your board can short itself so
you may want to have a victory board handy.
1. Open your hopper, keeping all parts to the left shell. You will need
to take the chip out, so it might be easier to unplug the two sets of
wires. Remove the board and switch cover simutainiously or the switch
will break. If the board aint budging, while the left shell is on it
side, push the board down (to the boards left it it was all vertical
right now which it shouldn't be). Whe it slides to the outside of the
shell, it should come out with the board cover simutainiously.
2. Take out the board of your Halo, find points C8 and VR1 (see
picture). Take a thin wire and run it thru the holes at the points so
they connect. The hole is to the left of the letters, not right above
them. Fold the wire back behind the board, but don't let it touch any
other holes. Solder if you test it and you like it.
3. Put the board and cover back in, and then plug wires back in and put
the hopper back together.
4. Done, try it out.
5. Solder it if you like it, take it out if you don't.
Update from Blacksheep:
I wanted to give a warning though as this has been covered in numerous paintball related forums and is commonly known as the PR Mod (Puerto Rican Mod).
Many people have burnt out the drive motor in their Halo due to this mod...many have not. In any case what is basically happening is a resistor is being bypassed thus introducing more voltage into the motor. These motors are cheap...and complete motor and battery harnesses can be bought for 12.99...however taking apart the halo is a pain in the ass process and because of the battery life this gives...may not make it worthwhile overall.
There are better motors that can be put in and those in themselves add a bit more gusto to the hopper without modifying the board itself.
Lastly...this is almost senseless in that playing tournement ball disallows a marker that shoots faster then 15bps and most fields would not appreciate someone shooting 30bps at the family of newcomers who rented Spyders for the day.
It is good for bragging rights however and showing off :)
You may want to add that a simple switch can be used between to the wires and very simply installed into the shell in order to turn the mod on/off.
