hi, just a bit of clarification, Is it spinning when you shoot or not keeping up with your shooting?

well it spins for a bit but then stops and then you have to press to button to spin it once or twice and then it spins with the gun for a bit longer and then stops!

ok, the reloader B will only spin when it hears a sound, so when you shoot it'll load paint. it doesnt spin at all times. hopefully you know that! but if thats not the case then it could be a problem with the board which i have not dealt with personally. but sure someone on here can help, sorry about that mate, have you made sure its not jamming and is relatively clean?

Also if it is too full of paint, this can cause a stoppage/jam.

If it's not jammd, it's either dodgey batteries or broken board. I had this problem. If you when you shut the lid/pour paint in it doesn't spin the ears are dying.

This seems to be a more popular problem, never heard of this before, but a team mates looks to be doing this.

And rellizate, its a sensor mate... not ears

Ye it's a sound sensory, but they nicknamed ears.

Just like laser eyes arn't actually eyes with lasers - they're an LDR and a led I think.
