BlackStar

I can try, it would be a fabrication job, which is something I haven't done yet, but when I come up with something I'll post it up. If there's enough interest for this I'll post a tutorial for how I did it.

No doubt people will be interested! Everyone will love a removable barrel to boost power!

Thats amazing! Could you do a tut of how to make a barrel extension with flywheels without the need of stripping a blaster?

I have found that tamiya motors can handle much abuse (easily my nicd pack which supplies the current it wants). Does anyone know some cheap tamiyas that perform as well or better than rm2s? Looking to spend up to 15 usd total.

EDIT: I have found some tamiya mach dash motors for cheap and would like to know if i can run them at 6 volts with one of those slot in nicd packs.

Hopefully this image posts properly, I'm trying to post from my iPad. I've been working on my Rayven as well as doing some concept work for a custom mount to put some spin on the darts as well. I came up with this integration after deciding the hailfire was a worthless piece of junk, and it's solved the problem mentioned before about optimum afterburner motor separation being less than the length of the dart. It's also entirely self contained and removable, being attached simply with the barrel mount from a retaliator extension. The distance from the departure point of the stryfe motors and the feeding end of the hailfire is almost exactly one dart length.


Sorry I don't have any internal shots, I'll take it apart to rebarrel eventually if any of you want to see inside. It has 3 sets of motors (stock Rayven to stryfe to hailfire) and I just have it running on 12 LiFePo4 3.2v Ultralast solar batteries, which I've found to be more consistent and reliable than the ultra/trustfire type that are so popular among the NIC.

That looks incredible. It must pack much more of a punch than a single flywheel set can achieve. Can you post ranges?

Thanks for all the suggestions, but im still new to modding and I've only done a few shell cuts (nite finder barrel replacement and a pathetic raider power stock that barely helps). I probably won't be able to make a clean cut as I don't have a dremel (all the tools I've got are a ton of screwdrivers, power drill, motorized hacksaw, a saw, and a soldering iron). Heck I don't even have sandpaper though I'll get some soon as I know it's cheap. Also, I'm stuck with my current battery, I've got a ton of rc helis but are their lipos are either messed up or weak plus, lipos and lions are dangerous and my wiring is crap (after toruk's words, didnt even consider buying fires). About the motors I chose, they had the highest rpm on ebay so I looked into them. I've seen something on Brit Nerf about a carbon brush mod. Could I just switch out rm2 brushes with bulk carbon brushes on ebay? I probably will if there is no other cost way of going about this.
