This is the final product minus the switch of my electronic blowgun the final name is the longhorn rifle it fires about 70-85 fps with the ability to fire two rounds at once here is the YouTube link the video explains the rest. also you will see it in the video. So there is no need for pictures this is my first nerf video enjoy. UPDATE: This is a update of the longhorn project this video explains my switch mechanism and how it will be good with the current version. https://youtu.be/yENCEk3DSbQ

PLEASE PUT MORE EFFORT INTO YOUR POST THAN ONE WORD, SPELLED INCORRECTLY, UNLESS YOU WERE CALLING HIM A "NEET" WHICH WOULD BE EQUALLY INAPPROPRIATE.

You posted that you'd pulled the wheels off an RC car before, are they adjusted in any way or are those flywheels actually just the inner hub of an RC car's wheels? In either case, I'm really impressed by how well that works.

The flywheels are angled inward slightly to get a better boost. The flywheels themselves are literally the RC wheels and the DC motors from the car. I had to reverse the polarity of one motor so they would go the same way as well as splice the corresponding wires to get it to work. But all and all I got an efficient homemade and learned a lot about motor polarity, and wiring aswel as having fun while doing it.

Excuse me but I'm feeling a bit of unfairness here. Mods are giving me warnings because Im applauding to his work.  The2ndBluesBro is also applauding to his work but the mods don't warn him.  Is it just because I'm new?

 

MODERATOR CLARIFICATION:

THIS USER WAS WARNED NOT BECAUSE THEY GAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, BUT BECAUSE THEY MISSPELLED THE ONLY WORD IN THEIR POST AND DID NOT USE CAPITALIZATION AND PUNCTUATION. IF THE POST HAD READ:

Neat.

THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WARNED.

No, it's because your response had no punctuation of grammar and looks like it belongs in our IRC chat room. Not to backseat moderate but that kind of stuff matters here. Being new isn't really part of it but when that's one of your first posts it doesn't give the best first impression, especially because your response proves you can type better than that.
