I used the Dye LT-R for about a year and I can say I had jams on it “every now and then” but with a quick pull back on the shark fin I was good to go. I have since then upgraded to a Virtue spire IV and if the Spire IR2 is anything like the spire IV In quality and performance I would highly recommend buying it over the LT-R 👍🏻
i play center, i tilt so much i do not like any of the spire loaders. the rotors have a bigger feeding ring/teeth, while tilting my marker, the feeding ring/teeth are able to grab paintballs from the side and feed into. the feeding ring on the spires do not work with my play style.
Both hoppers are amazing I've technically used both before (I used an original rotor and an original ir but their the same as the new ones) and the both worked amazing the rotor didn't jam on me at all and my it tried to feed an almond that was still in the shell
I bought the ir2 and it was really really loud and it kept pulsing, I cleaned the eye things but it didn't help. I returned it and got an ltr with no problems so far
I agree with Bill Lu. I have the original IR and it is a great loader but does not feed well/constantly when tilted. The fingers on the drive cone are too soft to scoop/push the paint well when tilted. The IR2 appears to have the same drive cone fingers as the IR. I tilt a lot so I am probably going to get an LT-R soon. Comes down to player style and personal preference.

Translucent lid on the LTR also. LTR wins in my opinion shark fin, lower price, ramp, translucent lid. IR2 higher capacity and easier to put a speed feed on which isn’t really much of a plus.
For that guy asking for a marker under 500USD, you could easily go second hand on one of the BST groups and look for an ego11 or even an LV1 if people are selling those.

@@12ozMousee I mean it’s not much lighter in comparison and the more paint it holds will only equate to more weight, in the end. I went with the LTR, has a ramp that’s built in as well. I also read/heard the LTR doesn’t pop open and spill when diving, not nearly as much as the Spire at least.
Why are hoppers bulky and ugly 😳 They need to redesign the hopper (and gun profile) and not use the same design as it’s been. Aesthetics and keeping low profile is what I’m interested in. 🤙🏼
The pro has the oled board stock where the 2.0 you have to buy it separately if you can even find the board (its about est 150 more or less depending where you look) Other then that the way the guns are made, the pros front handle is detached from the trigger guard so you can properly get your thumb & hand around it without getting in the way of your trigger. The 2.0 follows the minis style of having the front grip basically touching the trigger grip.
Paintball in a nutshell. Hopper released 2 years ago at $99.95, now on sale for Christmas at $109.95 or more pretty much everywhere. This is why the sport is in a decline. No good mid range guns (other than the mini of course). $1000 just to get you fitted plus $80 for shit field paint at your local field. I miss the 2005-2010 heydays
I have the DYE LTR For 3 years. It’s bulletproof. Never had problem. It’s super easy to use one button.
I used the Dye LT-R for about a year and I can say I had jams on it “every now and then” but with a quick pull back on the shark fin I was good to go. I have since then upgraded to a Virtue spire IV and if the Spire IR2 is anything like the spire IV In quality and performance I would highly recommend buying it over the LT-R 👍🏻
I feel like they are pretty much the exact same. The only difference being the Spire costing more for easier accessibility (cleaning, speed feed).

I have the originally spire and it's a great hopper I've never had a ball jam. The ltr is solid too for the price its unbeatable 🤟
currently rocking the LTR, love the force feed style drive... and the anti jam lever. looking at the IR2 i am liking the slightly lower profile.
I have the Dye Rotor Camo from 2008. The battery leaked, cleaned it and still works flawless. The leak didn't rust the connectors. They are solid!
Both hoppers are amazing I've technically used both before (I used an original rotor and an original ir but their the same as the new ones) and the both worked amazing the rotor didn't jam on me at all and my it tried to feed an almond that was still in the shell
Been firing Rotors since the original, LTR doesnt need any tools to pull out the battery pack. Love the videos, keep up the great work fellas.
I bought the ir2 and it was really really loud and it kept pulsing, I cleaned the eye things but it didn't help. I returned it and got an ltr with no problems so far
I have a ltr on my mini gs. Only jammed once, super easy to clean! Wouldn’t go back.
maybe make a video on how the loaders feed when its on a tilt?
Please
@@juicemantv6509 i have both. I tilt a lot when going left handed. Rotor is better at "scooping" then the spire

Spire ir 2 does dam have to flip it to un jam i have both spire for lighter gun and more slick lookin on a lv2 but rotor for durability and anti jam
Been using the ltr sense I stared playing this summer and it’s been feeding flawlessly🤙🏼
LTR will feed pretty much upside down.LTR ALL DAY LONG
Not including a ramp on any of the ir hoppers is a crime
i play center, i tilt and tuck so much i do not like any of the spire loaders. the rotors have a bigger feeding ring/teeth, while tilting my marker, the feeding ring/teeth are able to grab paintballs from the side and feed into. the feeding ring on the spires do not work with my play style.

This is how your videos should be

Yes I actually needed this
i play center, i tilt so much i do not like any of the spire loaders. the rotors have a bigger feeding ring/teeth, while tilting my marker, the feeding ring/teeth are able to grab paintballs from the side and feed into. the feeding ring on the spires do not work with my play style.
so, think about how much you tilt when playing left or right.
how’s it going tony great video
i love virtue so id be picking the spire
Which is better in your opinion

Make a video of Shocker xls vs amp.
Programming?
Got both, halo too still king
Dose loaders come with warranty? Just curious?
People say that the ir2 sucks
it does, it feeds the same as the all other others spires. nothing special.
Why don’t you use the r-2 instead of the ltr
Which one should I get for my Mini GS? Not really feeling my Halo
spire ir all day. its way lighter and holds more paint
@@12ozMousee I mean it’s not much lighter in comparison and the more paint it holds will only equate to more weight, in the end.

I have a spire 4

Ctrl all the way but getting back into the sport I got a dye very quickly switched to the ir that’s all I’m saying
Vote for the LTR
The information provided in this video about the LTR is not completely accurate.
what's the difference with the pro and 2.0?
The pro has the oled board stock where the 2.0 you have to buy it separately if you can even find the board (its about est 150 more or less depending where you look)
Other then that the way the guns are made, the pros front handle is detached from the trigger guard so you can properly get your thumb & hand around it without getting in the way of your trigger.
The 2.0 follows the minis style of having the front grip basically touching the trigger grip.
