I have an invert too hopper and I have the 90$ to spend on a pinokio on ans gear..... Would it be a good idea to upgrade?

[cybermaniac15]

Sure it is, it will be a seriously nice capacity boost also.

[kingJurzy]

Or buy a used rotor.

Pinokios are great if you need the capacity, that is about it.

Im no means abusive on my gear by i find that the pinokio shell is just simply too brittle to compete against a modern loader. I would save for a spire or rotor.

Thank you.... I might just save a little more money for a new rotor

[cybermaniac15]

I've played speedball with mine for almost a year without trouble, and pinokio will replace the shell if you break it.

If you do get a rotor, get it used, but make sure it's v3. No reason to get a new loader anyways unless its that important to you..

Not a big fan of the rotor if your a senario player the pinokio is GREAT but not for speedball I love the invert halo too for speedball!

Why is the pinokio not great for speedball?

It's a bigger profile compared to the spire rotor z2.
Don't you have to pay for shipping after 90? Also try to find if you need other gears because you already have a working loader anyways

I play mostly scenario and speedball once or twice a month

Sounds like you have never really used a pinokio before... I have not noticed a difference in the amount of hopper hits that I got with my pinokio in comparison to other loaders I have used.. I even used to play snake with a pinokio, and the extra capacity is great. Personally, I'd just get a used one on the bst for around $70 shipped.

[pb28188]

Yeah and I don't really need the best airball loader because like I said I only play airball once or twice a month but play mostly scenario so I want a loader that's best for scenario

I like my pinokios too, not saying anything bad about it. I even have a smoke and a black. If you put the loaders side by side you'll notice the difference. But I guess if it works for you great, I'm pointing out the difference. The biggest gripe about the pumpkins is they take more work to disassemble to clean. They say you can spray the inside with water to clean it but I've never tried.
If you want a cheap awesome loader go with pumpkins. They're 90$ it's a shame it doesn't come in other colors like camo or white etc

Get a Pinokio then. It can take hits but be aware that diving into bunkers and smashing into the wooden plank might crack the shell.

even if you don't play a lot of airball i would still get the rotor because i have a pinokio and im getting kind of tired of it i would really prefer a tool-less disassembly

[Dakent]

used rotor. got mine for $80 used. no problems or cosmetic flaws

[pb28188]

I also have an exalt speedfeed and pinokios fit halo speeds feeds so that would save 20$ but thank you

this is because its a little bulky and brittle but senarios the high cap is great

[dustyshouri]

Curious here... when you talk about extra capacity being a positive, does it matter THAT much? I mean obviously it matters when you start the match and you fill it to capacity. But aren't you from there on going to just be at the mercy of the capacity of a pod? I mean do you get larger/smaller pods that match the capacity of your hopper or what?

[gibbeepbroxzor]

Some people don't like having to drain the full rotor/z2/spire before being able to dump a pod in without spilling shit everywhere. The pinokio makes it easy to not lose any paint from an over fill.
