Help with Flywheel Braking

20 April 2017 - 01:34 PM



I followed MTB's rapidstrike guide and I don't know if I just did it wrong but it appears like the circuit doesn't include flywheel braking. The pusher braking works fantastically and I would like to know how to achieve this with the flywheels as well :) I assume I just need to add another wire to the rev switch's normally open tab, but I don't know where rhe other end needs to go.

Nerfers, I come to you all today with a plea to end the careless slaughter of innocent blasters. Day after day, dozens of majestic Stampedes; colorful Rayvens; and even the humble shrubbery-dwelling Firefly, have fallen prey to horrible deaths to satisfy the modding community's ever growing greed for better-looking primaries. The video below may shock you, but it shows in plain detail the atrocities that are committed against these helpless toys as some are wastefully sacrificed for the benefit of others.

Before Coop needs some bike shorts, I must admit that I too have taken part in the slaughter of these innocent creatures:

Yes this post is a joke, but in all seriousness: I want to keep integrating cool shells, but I don't want to keep destroying functioning blasters, especially those that are no longer being produced.

 

I want to get a thinktank going to come up with ways of efficiently replicating cool NERF shells without having to destroy more of the only motorized bullpup (in stock form of course) in existence, or the only practical full-auto springer I know of.

 

I've looked into resin casting a bit, even read some supah-old posts on here about vaccuforming, but haven't found a "YES! THAT'S IT!" solution yet. I've considered entering the 3D printing world, but realized quickly that the size of the back half of a Stampede may be too big for many consumer-level printers.

 

This is a call to anyone with experience in any of these areas, or anyone who has an idea of a new area to explore. I feel like this could be a big game-changer.

 

I've already seen people like this making clear duplicate nerf parts, which makes me think how cool it would be to be able to create a clear version of any blaster ever. Or making a purple rapidstrike without having to paint it? Endless possibilities here...


Cleanest way to open a magstrike?

10 February 2017 - 09:32 PM

First time opening a magstrike. Already tried prying off the orange piece that goes around the pump with a small flathead screwdriver and it feels like it's not coming off without being mutilated first (something I really don't want to do).

Does anyone have any tips or success stories of a supah clean way to get this thing off?

What's it called? Dart/water hybrid blaster

03 February 2017 - 07:34 PM

Can anyone name this blaster? It's upper half spins 180 degrees to become either a dart blaster (fires old school megas) or the other way to be used as a soaker...Attached File  1486168331405-2028214088.jpg   138.14KB   152 downloadsAttached File  148616838333034641267.jpg   117.67KB   152 downloadsAttached File  1486168422684-415147230.jpg   170.55KB   168 downloads
