#363275 Best aluminum longshot boltsled and spring combo?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 15 August 2018 - 03:04 AM in Modifications
If you do plan to use a high yield spring, it goes without saying that you will also need a stronger catch spring. The NerfTurf springs do ship with some top-notch replacements though, so that should be the least of your worries.
Hope this was helpful.
#362234 Which 132 3s should I use?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 12 January 2018 - 10:26 PM in Modifications
You could go with a standard Turnigy 1000mAh 3s 30C pack for just 14AUD at HobbyKing or if your willing to spend abit more, you could upgrade to a Turnigy 1000mAh 3s 65c pack for 23AUD at HobbyKing. The graphene pack will get you slightly higher power density, allowing for a longer battery life over a standard pack as well as a much higher Discharge-current. Which ever one you choose just keep in mind that you will have to make some fairly major modifications to the stryfe battery tray to get your LiPo to fit.

#361725 Red vs Gold
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 06 October 2017 - 02:12 AM in Modifications
I wired up a circuit with motor breaking and xp180's on 2S and took it out for a spin. As soon as i pressed that rev switch the sweet sweet purr of xp180's with well balanced flywheels and a metal cage flooded my ears. It was a subtle but loud and consistently high pitched sound. I loaded up an 18 dart mag with koosh and fired some off. Little did i know the true effectiveness and consistency the spin it put on the dart was, every single dart that left the blaster piddled out about 2m in front of me before resuming an erratic spinning motion that could only be described as what it would look like if papa-smurf were to attempt to excite the ladies after having one two many drinks at his 60th.
Enough said, the point I'm trying to get across is that this cage is terrible and hardly even usable and you should just go out and purchase yourself an artifact red cage and some hooligan fly-ass wheels and save yourself a whole lot of trouble.

#361482 Recon and Retaliator - how similar are they?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 01 September 2017 - 10:03 PM in Modifications
The retaliator features a modern, elite style 'direct plunger' system which is a much more reliable and efficient setup. This is a 3 piece system where the actual plunger tube is stationary in the blaster and the breech piece pushes back on a plunger rod with the catch notch on it. Thie rod then engages with the catch and the breech can slide forward again to chamber a dart. This system is more expensive to produce but it was required to achieve the improved elite velocities (~65fps with elite darts). Long story short, the only interchangerble parts of the kit are the trigger and the boltsled. The recon internals can be switched with retaliator internals but not without some pretty respectable shell modifications.
Plus, there really isn't any point in doing that if you have to buy a retaliator anyway, unless you have a sonic or clear series shell.
Hope you could understand all of that, thanks.
#361435 Nerf stryfe extended battery door recommendation

He is located in Australia so shipping prices may be an issue but i believe that his products are the best available.
#361219 MTB Wolverine MK2 (180 size) 6 volt
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 07 August 2017 - 07:28 AM in Modifications
As for using them as pusher motors, it isn't really worth it as MTB honey badgers on 3s will give you a slightly higher ROF while also offering a cheaper and smaller overall package (no shell cutting and cheap to replace).
Hope i helped, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
EDIT: i just had my xp180's burn out on me after revving them for around 2 seconds on a 3s LiPo 😞. Don't over-volt xp180's.

#361187 Barricade & Stockade mod questions
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 04 August 2017 - 01:11 AM in Modifications
And may i ask why you are looking to interchange the stockade cage with the barricade cage? I do not believe that it would have any advantages over the stockade cage.
Or is there confusion on how to open the barricade cage? If so, you will need to remove all of the screws from the cage and cut any solvent weld holding it together with a dremel, xacto knife, hacksaw ect. You can google how to open the cages if you are experiencing any trouble.
#361163 Slimeball Gobzooka
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 02 August 2017 - 02:19 AM in Modifications
I have some questions. What kind of pressures can this thing take, how durable is it, how comfortable is the shell and when will we be seeing it for sale online or in stores worldwide?
I really want to get my hands on one as i kind of have a huge obsession with stupidly impractically powerful blasters that lead people to shit themselves as soon as they lay eyes on them.
#361151 Barricade & Stockade mod questions
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 01 August 2017 - 02:51 AM in Modifications
2: the barricade/stockade cages are completely unique and stryfe/other replacement cages can't be used without some serious shell cutting and re-moulding.
Hey but one things for sure, DO NOT BE A NOOB AND WRAP THE FLYWHEELS IN ELECTRICAL TAPE!!!!
Hope i helped.
#361149 Spring question
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 01 August 2017 - 02:28 AM in Modifications
An personal experience to back this up is that when i was building my homemade, i used 3 century c-836 springs (~12kg?) lined up for the desired spring length (30cm) and when i tested the draw weight, it definately didn't feel like 36kgs.

#360546 stryfe imr questions?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 13 June 2017 - 03:13 AM in Modifications
And yea, if you want to go the extra mile a NiMh pack is a very safe and reliable option that will last a lot longer and give more power than imrs if you don't want to deal with a LiPo. As for what size pack to use in a stryfe, i honestly have no idea but I'm sure you could find out if you just go browsing dimensions of certain packs and seeing if they match the stryfe battery trey dimensions. You can make more room for a NiMh pack by cutting out that big bit of plastic above where the batteries sit, if you do the hole for the pack should follow the same outer dimension of the battery door.
Last thing, in case you didn't know there is a bit of misunderstanding about the safety of LiPo packs, they are actually very safe as long as you don't short circuit them for a long period of time or do something stupid like stab the shit out them with a screwdriver. (then your REALLY buggered).
But yea, hope i was helpful and hope i helped you make a decision.

#360116 cheap darts for stryfe?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 25 May 2017 - 08:38 PM in Darts and Barrels
The waffle darts i have tried don't have very consistant gluing so there tips fly off very often. The ekind darts also dont work in brassed springers.
If you want value for money then go and pick up some FVJ's, they are normally about 4AUD for 100 and they fly very straight out of blasters 170 fps and below. One thing you might need to watch out for with fvjs is that some are made a tiny bit to short to be used reliably in a stryfe. They can also wreck your flywheels over a long period of time if you are using high rpm/torque motors and a high crush setup, although this can probably be avoided by getting some aluminium flywheels.
As for VTN or ACC style darts, they often don't work in flywheelers that arent the hyperfire because of their tip profile being at too steep of an angle from where the foam starts to the point of the tip, therefore not giving enough surface for the flywheels ro grab onto. But as you said they are the best option for cheap darts in springers and brass that you can get.
Hope you found this useful, thanks.

#357555 Shields: Do you love them? Hate them? Ban them? Permit them?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 14 January 2017 - 12:30 AM in General Nerf
It annoyes the heck our of me when people use sheilds. Someone that i'm not going to name always uses a cardboard sheild bigger than they are and it makes it pretty much impossible to tag them. That is for other people of course, as i have an 18kg longshot with an artifact hunter kit and i have no problem just punching right through that monstrocity while still leaving a fairly sized red mark on the weilder . As for other more average players?, i think it just ruins the dynamics of the whole round.
But for large team gametypes it's not too bad as you can manage to surround them and overpower them.
I have found that it also greatly decreases their RoF with springers and overall mobility.
In conclusion i believe that it would make a world of difference just to ban sheilds altogether.
Nothing personal sheild users, just don't like your style.

#357545 Has Anyone Made a Mod for the Centurion?
Posted by IAmAPenguin on 12 January 2017 - 05:03 PM in Modifications
Or you could just go all out and slap some homemade internals into the shell and do a brass breech for some ridiculous power.
The other option is to make a conduit breech with a pusher mech that pushes megas into some 25mm heavy duty conduit for the ability to use megas and still have some decent pop.
It's your decision, whatever tickles your fancy .

I live in perth, western australia, where it's not to humid most of the time and it seems to have an ideal fit for megas.
