Der HALO Drive Cone von Zenitram wurde bei 68caliber.com getestet und für gut befunden. Wir haben den kompletten Artikel für Euch:
Zenitram Manufacturing has recently added a delrin drive cone to their list of products for the WDP Angel, Smart Parts Impulse, and the M3/Dragun line of markers. Zenitram has been quietly making parts for several years, and the user of their products swear by them.
The HALO design is a good one, but the plastic drive cone, which actually pushes the paint down into the marker's feed neck, is notorious for breaking. What most often happens is that the tab on the bottom of the cone that catches the spring breaks off, rendering the loader useless until the cone is replaced. This part normally costs around $10. A common modification to the HALO B is to use a small screw or pin to replace the tab with, which minimizes the breaking problem.
Zenitram's solution to this problem is to make the part out of delrin, which is a self-lubricating plastic material that's durable and light. Instead of a plastic pin to catch the spring in the hub, the Zenitram part uses a stainless steel pin. This allows Zenitram to offer a lifetime guarantee on the part, and it removes any worries about breaking the drive cone and taking a player out of the game.
The part is roughly the same weight as the original factory part, and Zenitram claims that it's only a few grams heavier. Installing the part took around 10 minutes, and can be completed by anyone familiar with the HALO B. The loader used in this test was a V35 equipped HALO B, normally used in Mode 6, which is known to test the capabilities of the loader.Once installed, the loader was put on the test marker, a 2004 Angel Fly, loaded up and fired to see if any noticeable slowing down of the feed rate could be detected. Per Zenitram's claims, no noticeable slowing of the feed rate that the HALO B can pump out was noted. Later the marker was used a local tournament and no faults or slow down were noted. The paint used during the course of testing was X.O. Industries Velocity, which is a mid-grade paint. Knowing that the possibility of my HALO going down mid-game due to a broken drive cone was no longer an issue was very comforting to me.
In the end, the Zenitram is a reasonably priced upgrade for HALO and Reloader B users who test the limits of their loader's endurance with high rates of fire commonly seen in today's competitive play. For the cost of 2 factory parts, the issue of broken drive cones can be banished forever. The MSRP for the Zenitram Delrin Drive cone is $20, and they can be found at Zenitram's website, www.zenitram-mfg.com .
