Hye Mario

Sorry don't know anything about the torque loader.

But what I do know is you can get a rotor for about $244

A velocity Junior is about $165, which I think is a good option as you can upgrade these loaders so it is a good starting point.

Another loader I have seen that has just hit the market a little while ago is a halo too they cost about $125 they look like a nice little hopper, the only thing I will say about these hoppers is you will get mixed reaction about them some people like them some don't, I have an empire B2 which is along the same lines, so far I love it, but I have not had it that long.

another option would be to look around for second hand loaders, but be careful. I have a brand new spyder fasta loader at home (still in its box)that I bought as a back up to my other spyder fasta loader, which I have never had to use.
Once again they are a loader that some like and some hate some say they are ugly (they are a bit ugly). They are suppose to be able to feed at a rate of 30+ bps but they feed more around the 20bps it ran OK on the borg but the B2 goes better, I have had no trouble with mine at all. I would not pay full price for one they are large as they hold 240 rounds they are battery hungry too, I would part with it for around $90.

But I tell you what I am still going to get me a rotor, I think they are worth every dollar I have heard no complaints about them yet and I guess just take a look at the video link below, it has me sold.

Yeah, i have thought about the vlo junior but they eat the batteries. Thanks for the offer on the fasta but im looking for a smaller one with a lower profile and does not eat the batteries, and the torque 440 fits the description.

They seem to quite a oldish loader and a common problem is thta they always jam

But my mate use to have one of these and it seem to work great.

Hope this helps

I have a vlocity. I have not had any issues with them eating batteries. The trick with them is to turn down the select force option to like 3. they have 8 settings which put pressure on the balls when you arnt shooting so it feeds instantly when you start to shoot again.
I have had mine set to 1, the lowest setting to save batts and have never had a pause when trying to shoot. the vlocity holds 200 balls, the jnr holds 160.

You can get them chiped but I have never seen the point. feeding at 28bps is more than enough for every player I have ever met.
