Motor upgrade RBI 220vs

[RDV]

Thought I would check to see if any RBI owners have upgraded from the older a/c motor to the d/c motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks RDV

termite,  Here is a link to Pozgai's and the RBI blade holder they sell.  I don't have them, and have often wondered how much of an improvements they are.  I've never seen anyone comment on them either, but I'd sure like to hear from someone who has tried them/  http://www.pozsgaidesigns.com/page0006.htm

I have them on my jr hawk and really like them, using them on the bottom of the jr. requires that the bottom of the blade be cut off between  1/4 to 1/8 inch not a problem for me it is worth the convience and speed when top feeding, I have a friend that uses the clamp on the top only on his g4 and he really likes it also
