Congratulations to our two winners!
In first place is Asamere, with his lovely poem recanting absolutely nothing! He is receiving an Elite Alpha Trooper, completely free!
And bringing up the rear is Guitarzan, for his mention of Warcraft Three! However, he goofed and called Wintermaul a tower defense. Thus, he pays shipping.
Both items are being shipped tomorrow morning 9am! I apologize to anyone who did not submit an entry due to the mods closing the forum. I was 'suggested' to redo the giveaway with stricter parameters, but i think you guys did just fine!

I would put it in Off Topic. This seems the best place for it.
Even if, by definition, off topic is for anything unrelated to wargames.
My second option is the wars thread. Because, you know, its from a war.

If you ever have a question on blaster value again just go to eBay and use their advanced search setting to browse sold listings, let you know what people are willing to pay.

What what. 2 condition issues, first is that the auto rotate does not work. From what i've read about this blaster, that is a very common problem. 2nd, the orange rings on the front that connect the two shell halves have been removed, i opened this blaster to try and fix the auto rotate; there is a small bit of plastic that has broken off/gotten lost and i never got around to fabricating a replacement.
Other than that, this blaster pumps up just fine; no air leaks, and fires wunderbar.
The shell is in pretty good condition, especially for a 19/20 yearold plastic toy.

The XD line is a sham, a marketing scheme to get people to buy two of the same blaster because it's a different color.
Most are the same, some are worse.
The Retaliator lost about 20feetpersecond with the XD sham.
If you have a choice, get the Blue Retailator

It sounds exactly like a boltsled lock problem, but you say you cut what tooth off the breech? If it's what I'm thinking then it should not interferer with the boldsled. Unless it's a botched job.
Any internal pictures?
Also, there's a small tooth lock in the back of the plunger-carrier that is only secured via shell friction and is often lost by new modders.

The Stockade doesn't use 130 motors, so fitting aftermarket ones in is a little trickier.
The Stockade also has a higher crush cage, as it was designed to use Elite darts not Whistler ones.

A slip of rubber band and a *slighly* smaller sized screw driver should work.
If they're too far gone for this simple trick to work you'll need to drill them out.
If you drill them out slowly you shouldnt damage any of the other parts.
Push comes to shove Stampedes are $10 tops, cheaper if you can find one at a thrift store.

Looks like the rear lock in the Rampage boltsled. It's only friction fitted in,easy to fall out.
I end up removing all three locks and fixing the catch bar in place, so you don't really need it.

So, here is my air tank.
It seems perfectly normal, have an internal shot.
And this is my extended pump.
Some 1/2 thinwall pvc over the stock pump.
My plugged opvr and unplugged air holes.
At first i thought i had plugged these with the pvc, so i drilled some holes to allow air inlet.
I now believe it is an internal issue with the tank. The pump will force itself up, and thus the pumped air is still in the pump. That means there is an issue with the tank's sealant system with the pump.
I'm boned.

My Sonic Bazooka doesn't want to hold pressure.
On the back stroke of every pump the tank releases all its pressure. I can pump once, and hold to pump firmly into the tank, and the tank will hold and fire this pressure. Once i move the pump backward, too pump it again, all the pressure is released. I can feel a puff of air from the front end of the tank.
I can see absolutely nothing wrong with the tank, and thus have included no pictures. If you think it will help, i'll upload a video showcasing the issue.
If anyone knows why the tank will not accept the pressure from the pump, please let me know.
The pump has been extended, but this in no way altered the plunger's head. The pump has also received a dribble of silicon grease.

#342102 RM2 Battery Question
Posted by

Modifications
Just get some standard 1.5v AA sized rechargeable batteries, no need for a fancy battery pack.
RM2 Motors are actually only rated for 3volts, I'm of the opinion that stock batteries are the way to go.
I've done extensive chronograph testing on RM2 motors, running them on the normal AA cells they outperform a stock Stryfe by 40feetpersecond.
Running them on standard AA cells is actually overvolting the motors, in my experiences trying to run them on anything more will quickly burn the tightly wound brushes.

Like Mully said, no petro and silicone based. should be good.
It looks pretty fluid, so the % silicone must be low. I use white lithium for internals, as it's much more liquid than the 90% silicone grease i use for plungertube seals.

Ahem. If the arm is broken, I'd first attempt to diagnose what caused it to break. These things aren't supposed to do that, unless you re-clocked it, or say, removed that funny rubber bumper thing.
He might have installed the rubber bumper upsidedown. Since it's wedged shaped, the 'top' , longer, portion of the wedge should make contact with the arm first. If it's upsidedown, there is much less of a cushion upon firing the blaster.

1. DO NOT PAINT THE INSIDE. If you absolutely must use a light layer of black vinyl dye.
2. I've had bad results with any dye other than black, your proposed white vinyl dye 'basecoat' is laughable. If you need a white surface prime the blaster with black vinyl dye then use a dollar rattle can of white.
3. If all your internals are removed you'll be just fine dipping it in water, the water will have no effect on the terminal tabs left inside the blaster. Just make sure it's all dry before you solder.
I've done more Stryfe's than I can count, you'll be fine if you follow my above suggestions.

A common problem is that you've applied too much Silicone grease. Remove your catch and plunger tube, completely wipe off the catch and clean out the catch notch in the plunger tube.
Just a shot in the dark, but it's something that happens quite a bit.

For everyone else, the 'Full Version' link is directly next to the 'Language' selection bar. Do not assume that the two are connected, and that somehow this will change the language on the full site... even though you cannot see it...

I appreciate the programming, time, and effort somebody put into streamlining the new mobile site, but is there anyway we can at least have an option to revert to the standard format? On a few other sites I frequent there is a link at the bottom titled 'Classic Site' or something like that, and it takes the user to the standard desktop version.
If not, just slap me with a warning and send me on my way.

So I am about to start working on a big project and I have some questions:
1. I want to replace the motors and I don't care having to modify the shell, so can someone recommend me good 180 motors?
2. This is actually related to the first question, what LiPo battery should I use with these motors?
3. Do I need to coat the flywheels? if I do what should I use?
4. Also I decided to replace the wires and switches I order for the flywheels to reach max rpm faster so what wires and switches should I use?
Also don't refer to the cost because I have a big budget for this project.
Thanks for the help.
1. FK-180SH-3534
2. If you have your heart set on Lithium you should get a Turnigy 2s pack. I'd recommend either sticking with 14500 cells or finding a 2s pack that can still fit inside the battery tray.
3. No, natural wear and use will coat your flywheels with miniscule blue residue, no need to do anything artificial.
4. 18awg wire, 15A/240V switch.
