I think that this could be a great loader if it weren't for a few things.

1. The paddles are way too soft. You can stick your finger in the loader while it is running and the tiny rubber bars will pass right over your finger.

2. The battery compartment juts out and makes the hopper incredibly ugly. If they incorporated the battery compartment into the design and didn't have it hanging off the back, it would be much better looking.

3. It is way to expensive for how poor performance it is. I bought it when it was 100 dollars, and then it immediately dropped to 80.00. I definitely would've payed the extra 50 or even 90 dollars for a Z2 or a Rotor.

4. It runs on two 9v batteries. 9v batteries are expensive, and it shouldn't need that much.

There are a few good things however. It is incredibly light, and I guess now that it is 80 dollars it is slightly less overpriced. It has not jammed since I've used it, but I've only put a case through it, so I'm not really the person to ask if it jams.

Overall, I'd say it's about a 6, considering how expensive and slow it is. If it were cheaper, I would probably give it an 8 or 9.

Valken Sports V-Max Was not impressed with the hopper. Felt as though it should be available at a lower price point.

The v-max was an attempt to combine the rotor and the pinokio, but the nose tab that connects the top and bottom breaks very easily, the battery compartment is a hassle, and the design was just pretty poor in terms of performance and durability.

The loader is great. It feeds paint as fast as I need it and is very easy to use. Push a button and you're good to go. It keeps up with my gun just as well as the Prophecy and Rotor at a fraction of the prices of those loaders.

Valken Sports V-Max For the price its not worth it. I was not impressed. They immediately had to release a free upgrade for a flaw in their original creation.

welp, i was in the marker for a better loader so i got a vmax....... meh

it is all aroung great but is is a pos in the feeding department....

i took the feed paddles off one of my realy old hoppers, kinda resembles pinokio feed but stiffer and smaller. just wow, not it feeds great and its one of my favorite hoppers! he shell is very strong ( iv hit is full force multiple times cuz it wasnt feeding and i got pissed...) only thing i hate is that it drains batteries......... like leave a new set in for 2 days and gone. oh well, i just take it out after play. still works like a champ now with the paddle upgrade!

seriously......throw a stiffer feed that even remotely resembles it like a pinokio and you will be happy

Not a bad low end hopper that can't hold it's weight (in my opinion) with the prophecy, rotor, and pinokio.

I've owned all 4 hoppers in my opinion and by far the V-Max is the worst.

It couldn't keep up with when I tried anything past like 10bps. Although the design wasn't bad, you still had to get a V2 part so the balls would roll back into the feed cup. The hopper was there, just not the R&D.

Not a big fan of the hopper overall.
