So I was talking to one of my friends and he is wanting to get into 2a. He really likes my loop 1080s but doesn’t want to spend that kind of money on them. His max budget for a pair is $30. I pointed out the yomega Raiders. Other than those are there any other good options?

Initiators.

Raiders need to be modded. Which is hard.

Initiator is the best option.

The Raider Ex comes with a variety of spacers allowing for an adjustable gap. No mod needed.  
The stock Raider can work well w/o serious mods by adding a friction sticker or sili pad.
