Hi! I want to start my first mod on a flywheel blaster. I have chosen the demolisher 2 in 1 to mod. I was thinking of replacing the motors with xtreme 180's and using a Venom 20C 3S 2100mAh 11.1v LiPO Battery. Is this battery good for xtreme 180's? If so, could you recommend a good charger for the LiPo? I have also heard that I will need to modify the shell to fit the new motors. How exactly do I do that? I was also planning to rewire the gun to bypass the electronic locks, thermistors and resistors. Do you have any advice on that?

Thanks so much for helping,

Hello. For a first, a stryfe is easier to mod. Though a Demo is essentially the same circuit wise, though you just have the inner and outer shells to contend with along with wiring to be passed on both halves of the shell.

Xtreme Pro 180 are only rated for 2S. With a 2s you will get 110-120fps, taking that your wiring and components are up to scratch.

Shamless plug again: Xtreme 2s Stryfe

Charger. I use the Imax B6. Imax B6

180 motor are longer in lenght, so yes you will have to cut the shell. This is where a Dremel comes in very handy.

Wiring is straight forward on the Demo/stryfe. I'd suggest taking everything out and starting from scratch with new wire and switch. Battery +ve, to rev switch, to motors, to Battery -ve. You will need to get the polarities correct on the motors to ensure they spin the correct direction. You'll also need to buy a battery pack to fit the exiting tray, which is difficult given the Demos small tray. Or you could position the battery somewhere else. Some have put it under the jam door for instance.

Seriously though, I would consider doing a Stryfe first. Its much easier as you have everything in the 1 half of shell.

Hope that helps.
