Well what's broken? If the internals work what's wrong?

Check out the directory of mods and internals. It's super helpful when your getting started.

Thank you for the lead.

Well to be honest with you I'm not experienced enough in modding that you should definitly take my word as law. I work with kids and we all had a nerf wars together. I went through the process I described and my blaster shot harder than their stock ones but not hard enough to hurt them. Hopefully someone else can come along who is more helpful than I! Sorry man!

Honestly. Haven't modded enough longshots to tell you the difference. I can tell you that knocking out an AR is cheaper lol.

You could probably just knock out your AR and maybe fill up the deadspace in the plunger tube. That would get you an increase in power without getting too crazy.

Canted flywheels have thier motors tilted slightly to put a spin on the dart. It's supposed to increase accuracy (again I'm not exactly a pro level modder so if I'm wrong feel free to correct) but at high rates of fps/fire it can cause your darts to fishtail pretty hard. Non Canted flywheels are like ones you'd find in a stryfe. They are aligned straight. You'd have to find a non Canted hyperfire flywheel cage. They are not compatible.

Again depends on what the motors can handle.

I won't lie, I'm not exactly a pro at lipos so I'm not going to embarrass myself out here giving out crappy info.

There is an awesome spread sheet out there that gives you a breakdown of mtb motors vs what batteries are optimal. I'll see if I can dig it up. But ultimately your going to need to figure out the specifics of your motors. Do you have a link to said motors?

180s mean extra shell work. The lipo depends on what motors you are using.. not a question of what gun really.

Never seen one done before. Seems like an interesting combination to try and merge. My advice honestly is not too due to stampedes are becoming rare. My advice is to do a ton of planning where you are going to cut before you do. I used photoshop to kind of blend my blatter's to get a rough idea on the kind of shape I wanted.

Looking to see if anyone can point me towards wars/a nerf group near Buffalo. I'm willing to drive up into Canada if need be.

So I'm in the middle of moving out of my house and I'm trying to work with taobao and I'm struggling with it. I'm a bit fusturated and I decided to use a taobao agent to make it easy and focus on the move.
I figured that instead of giving my money to some random person outside of this country I could offer to pay someone in this country to order me some crap. If your interested throw me a PM. If not I'll give my money elsewhere.

You may be on some trouble then. Maybe dremeling the cage a bit. I PMd you about it. Someone more expertise then me may be able to help more

Is it the flywheel cage or the the motor. If it's just the motor you could just replace the motor. A stryfe cage may not fit as well.

You could always try to Dremel the hole open a bit. Could be an easy fix. Can you show a picture of what's melted?

I've been modding for a while now and this will be my first big mod. This is more of me asking for someone to check my math before I blow this thing up with a couple of questions tacked on.

I have two 180 Hellcats powered by a 2200mAh 3s 40C Lipo pack. It will be wired with 16 gauge wire and will use two 10a micro switches instead of stock ones.

1) I plan to run LEDs through this. Can I power them off the same Lipo or should I use a different source?

2) There will also be an Arduino in there to control various things such as an ammo counter, voltage meter, and anything else I can think of and actually complete. Same thing as the LEDs, Can wvweything be run off one power source?

3) I do not have a good charge to balance, discharge or basically take care of Lipos. I've done some research and i have a couple of different in mind but can anyone recommend a good one that I can use? Money isn't really an issue since I would rather buy a fancy charger then replace my house if it lights up. Fear the Lipo!

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Hopefully when this thing is done I will be able to throw up some pictures.

They are all over the place. Just look up 130 rhinos. Should get a link to some motors.

Its slightly different, but have you concidered stronger methods for creating nerf pieces? Like CNC or casting? They generally can be less versatile, but they can be alot stronger.

 

 I have. I have researched some pressure casting as well. However this is easier and less costly than those options.

 I'll be honest here though: I'm a little terrified for you if you need to ask these questions about 3d printing and somehow also have access to a printer. The things are finicky beasts at best, unless there is someone around you who can use google and then parse the results into actionable processes, you'll wind up with a hot plastic nest and a busted $hundreds-thousands machine. They aren't like regular printers where you can just send a page over and it'll work every time and then warn you if it's out of ink/paper.

 

Not going to lie. I laughed pretty hard at this. I recently discovered that i have access to this machine. I only have access to it for about three years so I decided to expand my horizons and try my hand at it. Thank you for the information and warning everybody! I am very much in the researching phase.

What are you planning on using to run this beast?

 

Do you use separate Lipos (or whatever you are using) to run the flywheels, pusher mech and all the electronics?

 

Really excited to see what this turns into!

I believe he is planning on selling kits.

I followed the tutorial though and it didn't take to long. It was fairly simple and well explained.

What is the best program for creating nerf parts through 3D printers?

 

I've looked at several but I cannot figure out which would be the cheapest/ still able to make reliable homemade parts for nerf.

 

or

 

Is there anywhere that I can pick up premade stl files that I can just use in a 3D printer?

Thank you for your input.

I looked into it and I found a bunch of different methods so I thought I'd turn to Nerfhaven for what you guys think/use.

I plan to use duplicolor for the primers, paints, and clear coat. Show should I go around prepping? Should I sand the whole blaster, just go for it, etc? What is the best method for a durable painthan job?

I'm pretty sure those are FVJs..
I would just look up those. They come in many different colors.

Edit: just looked up full vinyl jackethe darts. Found these: http://www.monkeemod...t&product_id=91

I don't know how good they are or if they are worth it so if anyone knows better feel free to correct/inform me. I'd like to know.

I work with kids so I decided to use motors that wouldn't kill a kid.

I used foamdataservices tutorial. There may be better ones but this one explain it all out nicely for me. (https://m.youtube.co...h?v=VARollLMqBY)

I'm pretty new to modding and I just finished modding a styrfe. 

I used these motors off normal alkaline batteries https://www.pololu.com/product/611. 

i used 18 gauge wire from radio shack and followed a basic tutorial on youtube.

It shoots pretty fast and hard (did not chrono it) and it was really simple to do as my first mod.

There is a whole thread on different nerf games pinned to the top of this page. Read up.

Did anything ever happen with this? I am from buffalo NY and I am looking to get into a nerf war community. Let me know if there is anything together!

I live in Buffalo NY.. I'd be really interested to get into some wars. How do i look into it for dates and stuff?
