Yes.
Cool thanks man. This gun excites me I wanna Crack it open and figure out why the chamber indicator doesn't work properly.
I'm also working on a titan integration to either a spectre or to use a vagabond shell and then the pump handle to pump the titan.

Edit: as long as I ignore the chamber indicator it works perfectly otherwise it doesn't work to well.
#354138 Need some help with ROF voltage drop in RS
Posted by DjOnslaught on 12 June 2016 - 08:48 AM in Modifications
I was intending to drop the voltage of the pusher motor only, and preferably in the simplest way. I'll look into other options, I was just under the assumption that diodes was common practice in a nerf rate of fire application.
In no write ups have I seen just diodes utilized in that method. Zack is completely correct about the waste of battery power and heat issue. If you want to use anything like that you'd want a resistor but again you would run into a heat issue (and resistors don't like overheating)
You can always step down your voltage (aka a smaller battery pack)
#354137 Rapidstrike Replacement Gear/Cog?
Posted by DjOnslaught on 12 June 2016 - 08:43 AM in Modifications
I just broke part of the base on one of the gears in my Rapidstrike so that it won't sit on the pin without falling off and jamming the pusher motor/arm constantly. Is there anywhere I can buy a replacement or a replacement pusher assembly for it? I am so mad right now!
Hate to ask but can you provide pictures of the broken pieces? Is it possible to superglue then back together or use epoxy putty to remake the piece that sits on the pin?
I mentioned epoxy putty because it can dry very strong and at the same time be used as a sleeve or a screw port in shells for guns.
#354128 Need some help with ROF voltage drop in RS
Posted by DjOnslaught on 11 June 2016 - 08:38 PM in Modifications
I'm working on a 2 stage RS (2190's + 2850's) on 3s, with a 2850(honey badger) as the pusher. I will be using a rocker switch to switch between full rof (14dps), and dropped rof (8-9dps). By my calculations, I need to to drop the voltage by 2-2.5v. The only info I could find was to use 1N5400 3A diodes that drop the voltage 0.7V each (so that I would need to use 3 in series).
Now my question is; are 3A diodes going to be safe to use with my particular setup? (I estimate my motors at full stall to be in the neighborhood of 75A). If not, what would be a better diode to serve my application? Perhaps there is something else I should be using.
Any help, suggestions or clarification would be much appreciated as my knowledge of circuitry is quite basic.
Are you using anything like a arduino or something to control it? If so there is a great mod in the forum to look at.
#354115 Alternate Alpha Trooper Springs?
Posted by DjOnslaught on 11 June 2016 - 07:16 AM in Modifications
How much power would a OMW Alpha trooper kit spring add compared to stock? (On their website, their spring is 5+kg, while stock is 2.5kg
The OMW kit spring would give it a good bit of pop, just be sure to replace all the components in the kits since as you increase spring power other aspects needs replacement or reinforcement

#354101 Alternate Alpha Trooper Springs?
Posted by DjOnslaught on 10 June 2016 - 04:46 AM in Modifications
Has a [k26] in a elite alpha trooper been tested before? I assume I would need to reinforce a lot of stuff aswell
I think one of the alpha trooper mods in the directory did a spring change that should give you an idea of what would need to be reinforced if anything.

Rosin is used interchangeably with Flux in my experience
#354061 Circuit Question/ Swapping between power supply
Posted by DjOnslaught on 08 June 2016 - 07:36 PM in Modifications
So for that "T" connection for the green wire at the far right, how would I go about doing that? I can't imagine shrink-tubing that normally... (and I do love my shrink tube on the rare occasion I do solder)
You can also run it as 2 different wires soldered together at the terminals I just drew it that way to make it easier to understand.
#354055 Circuit Question/ Swapping between power supply
Posted by DjOnslaught on 08 June 2016 - 12:17 PM in Modifications
The way you drew your circuit is wrong, your rocker switch needs to be between power supplies and rev switch motors, if I was home I would draw one for you but I'm currently not.
Your hot and common both need to connect to the rocker first and then go to the rev and motors. Also your gonna want a SPDT switch instead of the DPDT, it will be much easier on you.
I'll add a diagram when I get home if someone else hasn't by then.
This is a rough diagram of how it should be wired, before you solder anythng but double check it before you solder it
#354052 Circuit Question/ Swapping between power supply
Posted by DjOnslaught on 08 June 2016 - 11:00 AM in Modifications
Basically, yes
There is no need for a back up pack if your putting in a NiMH pack with enough power to run the rhinos at optimal RPM... unless your putting in a very small pack and know it's gonna be running dry on you in a day, I would not waste time on it

#354044 Are These Blasters Good For A Friendly Nerf War?

#354043 Wiring/Microswitch Question
Posted by DjOnslaught on 08 June 2016 - 04:48 AM in Modifications
Nobody has given him an exact response for what to buy, so...
I have ordered from these links before, both work as expected.
18 AWG wire (Black and red): http://www.banggood....e-p-921159.html
18AWG is all you need. The resistance wont worry you anyway, no point wasting that extra money and space inside your blaster.
Microswitch: http://www.ebay.com....m//321705842639
The microswitch is rated high enough for the job. Ive used higher rated switches before, no noticeable difference between them.
I gave him exact responses, I didn't mention brands or provide links because both are available at local stores such as radio shack and possibly Fry's type store, especially since he mentioned radio shack specifically.

No not at all I love ACC darts just pointing out that I learned the hard way that they do not like flywheels and koosh darts are good for any flywheels unless you have a flywheel gun with that "rifling" since it seems to catch the head of koosh darts and make everything terrible (so in other words you need to remove that "rifling" or sand it down to use koosh darts but it is worth it and should be done)
I meant them disliking flywheel blasters not you disliking them.
#353885 Ebay Stock Dart and Acronym Guide
Posted by DjOnslaught on 01 June 2016 - 08:12 AM in Darts and Barrels
Yeah not sure if you know this or not but that has been known ever since they were first found as "chunlin" darts. If I remember correctly I was sadly one of the first to find that ACCs don't like flywheels the hard way after my demolisher decided to fling the head about 15 feet while the foam was still stuck in the magazine.
That's definitely a dislike lol. Is there a best flywheel blaster dart for the rayven?
#353830 TR-27 GRYPHON - CR-18 Rapidstrike Mod
Posted by DjOnslaught on 29 May 2016 - 11:55 AM in Modifications
This continues to be my spare time hobby. I've almost finished a home made reflow oven so that I might begin making my own PCBs. But the project is moving slow. For that I'm sorry everyone, I know many of you have expressed interest in this endeavor. I do intend to complete it, and I will contact you all when it is completed.
Thank you all! And enjoy playing Nerf!

Glad your still working on this buddy. I might be messaging you to do a little coding for me soon.
#353789 What to do about that glue!
Posted by DjOnslaught on 27 May 2016 - 11:19 AM in Modifications
I saw a video (Bay Area Nerf, maybe?) where they submerged a Hammershot for five minutes, melting the gun entirely... by the time they tried to pull the gun apart with two vehicles I realized they were being facetious.
Even so, I don't want to ruin my 2K... unfortunately I can't get the barrels off to be able to cut where I want to until the glued piece is removed.
I'll try the dipping method... thanks for the tips guys.
Solvent welding works by changing the chemical bonding of the plastic so the pieces rebound together, heating the plastic and inserting the water will break those bonds and allow the method to work, just monitor it closely

That's BlackSteelProps. His 3D printed flywheel cage says it is for the Stryfe. Is that interchangeable with the Rapidstrike?
I thought he had em in his shop they linked to for rapidstrikes
#353783 Constant Force spring blaster infodump
Posted by DjOnslaught on 27 May 2016 - 04:49 AM in Homemades
I'm gonna do some mock up stuff here soon especially if I can find a reasonably priced constant force spring (or 2)
#353782 First Mod -- Rapidstrike
Posted by DjOnslaught on 27 May 2016 - 04:43 AM in Modifications
You have to change the switches to handle the higher current of the new motors, etc.
Correct about the switches, especially if your going into the lipo range for power sourcing.
Make test battle did a video on 3d printed canted cages, from a Texas vendor I don't have the link or anything off hand but it was in the description for the video and was maybe 2 weeks ago.
#353769 Constant Force spring blaster infodump
Posted by DjOnslaught on 26 May 2016 - 04:48 AM in Homemades
I really do think 2 springs would fix the power issue and the plunger rod pulling to the side, if nothing else your work has me milling over ideas in my head to run past my resident Mech Engineer/Physicist wife for help.
#353762 Constant Force spring blaster infodump
Posted by DjOnslaught on 25 May 2016 - 07:28 PM in Homemades
I think I know what he means on both counts. Right now you have the axle of the CFS offset to one side (the right if you're pointing the blaster away from yourself). I think he means adding a second that is offset to the left. As it is now, it could be torquing the plunger rod to one side which could fuck up your plunger rod seal.
You said that the spring needs to be extended slightly before it applies it's maximum force. I think he may mean that your plunger rod extension is allowing the spring to wind up too much, and it would be better to have a shorter plunger tube and the spring per-extended more, but based on what I read in your first post it seems like you already accounted for that.
Actually in regards to the plunger tube being longer is in reference to it being in 2 pieces instead of a solid one and it possible being torqued to one side as its being pidled.
You were exactly correct about what I meant as far as spring placements. Since your using a tee with a spring on one side, I was suggesting utilizing the other side for a second to increase the strength pulled forward with and also insuring the plunger rod stas centered while in motion.
#353747 Constant Force spring blaster infodump
Posted by DjOnslaught on 25 May 2016 - 04:44 AM in Homemades
I went back threw the first post more and realized the answer about the spring was there sorry. Do you possibly have a second spring identical to the first to connect to the other side of the tube in order to increase the force generated when the trigger is pulled?Huh? It's the main spring of the blaster, the one that moves the plunger. That's literally the second sentence of my first post.
As for the pictures you're asking for, there were some in the pictures thread that I linked to at the beginning. I've edited the first post to include them in this thread as well.
After looking at your plunger tube I'm curious with the extension what the full length of it is, because where it's not a single piece if it is too long there could be a lose of force during retraction at the screwed connection.

The idea of using a CF spring is pretty damn creative and I love the idea of it, once I know more about what your using it for exactly (maybe even a picture of the entire gun showing where it is placed and such) I may be able to help you alot more.
