#358294 Blasters for Newbie Modders

Posted by joeybootz on 28 February 2017 - 08:18 PM in Modifications

the firestrike pistol is an easy mod as well. shoots lasers once the AR's are removed and the plunger is reinforced. The stryfe is also an easy mod as well as the modulus

#358131 My 1st rewire and motor upgrade

Posted by joeybootz on 22 February 2017 - 08:28 AM in Modifications

 

Canted is no bueno. It wastes some of the flywheel's energy putting spin on the dart, which - if it actually works at all - only works for a given cant at a certain specific RPM with a certain specific dart mass. Otherwise, you'll end up with more whirlybirds or a simply less efficient setup.

well then that settle's it lol. 

so you guys like the DRS one better then the Artifact?

#357772 How much can the stock Stryfe motors take?

Posted by joeybootz on 01 February 2017 - 02:07 PM in Modifications

I currently run 3 imr 14500 800Mah and a dummy on all my FWB. Works pretty well and I haven't noticed much degrading of the motors. Its a huge performance increase but not recommended. I have just purchased a dozen MTB HoneyBadger motors and plan to upgrade to 2s Lipo on all my blasters. I really do not have a need(or see a significant value on going 3s, plus the MTB Rhinos are hard to get and I'm not going to 180's....

#357622 Best ways\tricks to strip paint from your blaster

Posted by joeybootz on 19 January 2017 - 04:01 PM in General Nerf

Hey everyone, so i was wondering how to remove the paint from a nerf while still keeping the ABS in tact and not making it brittle or destroying it completely. What has everyone used in the past\present to remove paint from your blasters?

 

i personally have had great success with DOT 3 brake fluid soaked overnight. Paint just falls off while not damaging the ABS.




#357618 Nerf prices skyrocket

Posted by joeybootz on 19 January 2017 - 10:45 AM in General Nerf

not sure if you are in the NJ area but Kmart is offering 30% off the entire store at certain locations as they are closing shop. I picked up 2 hyperfire, 3 stryfe,2 crossbolt, 1 modulus ecs and a retaliator for 170.... that's INSANE... plus every Friday the % goes up until they close shop in March. My parents live in Wildwood, NJ and they call me every Friday with the sales prices lol.




#357473 South Jersey Nerfers

Posted by joeybootz on 06 January 2017 - 07:23 AM in Nerf Wars

Thanks everyone, i will be sure to check out the groups. We consist of parents(im late 30's) and kids(ranging from 8-14). I did see a few videos on the Allentown wars although its about 1.5 hrs from me(i live near the Atlantic City expressway entrance). I would like to get a war going at a local park here in Washington township, just have to figure out how to do it(rules and allowances from the park rangers). I was a D3 speedball\xball player for about 8 years as well as on a scenario paintball team(13th legionnaires) but wifey made me retire as the cost was crazy lol. Look forward to meeting new people and hopefully attending a few events.

 

I modfied my first blaster and now im hooked on getting more and modding them haha. so much for cheap hobby. 




#357471 nerfhaven threatens to shut down MY ISP?

Posted by joeybootz on 05 January 2017 - 08:36 PM in Site Feedback

Wow, I'm an IT professional by trade with over 18 yrs experience(yes I am an old head). I have run forums and joined forums.. This kid would have been blacklisted already. Rules are quite simple, don't be a d1ck or troll and life is good.. not sure why you are trying to start needless drama..

 

now odds are your ISP wont disconnect service for "trolling" as they have bigger things to worry about but this is a friendly site for people who love the sport.If one or more rule does not sit well with you, you can always feel free to unsubscribe.

 

 

sorry I am new here but damn drama..
