Hey guys! I have been trying to voltage mod my Swarmfire to where it is at 18 volts, so it shoots twice as fast!I have 4 nine volts, but I am only trying to use 2. I have the connectors and enough solder to get it done, I just don't know how! All of my previous trys have been unsuccessful! With the 2 batteries, it I would be very happy if somebody could draw me the circuit and show me where I need to connect the batteries! I can even unsolder the battery tray if I need to! I would be forever in your debt! Thanks! I also can't figure out a way to put pictures on this without them being on the internet! So also could somebody tell me how to do that? I know I sound like an idiot to myself too. Thanks!

You need to hook up the two 9vs in series.
  • Start by taking the connectors and soldering one black and one red lead together.
  • Cover that with e-tape or a cover.
  • Take a look at the battery tray.
  • If you put the batteries in normally identify which is the positive and negative plates and solder the other leads to that accordingly.
  • Then just hook up the batteries and glue them in place.

There is no way unless you upload the pictures to a site like photobucket, http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=21837 Read this and you will find your answer to your photo problem, I suggest you read it ALL.

Pretty much it. I made a little ms paint diagram for ya. It ain't the best, and I know that. But graphically it gets the job done.

Haha nice! Anyway thanks but I need to know where exactly in the battery tray do I need to solder the positive and negative leads to.

On the battery tray there should be metal plates on one side to connect to the inside of the blaster. Those are where you need to solder. If anyone has a picture it would help but I don't currently have one.

My Swarmfire is currently under a ton of crap so I'll try and post a better pic later. Hopefully this will do in the mean time.
