In Topic: Best place to buy magazines and drums?

I think I'm actually good for now.

After making this thread, I had a lot of helpful offers via PM, so thank you everyone who messaged me!

Turns out the best place is really these forums haha.

EDIT: Interesting "autocorrect" when you write "PM 'd"

I have a few 18 rd stick mags and a 12 and some 6 ones. If you're interested they're in my sales thread. Ebay is usually marked up high, I've seen some stuff listed on craigslist near me, so that might be worth a try.


Will PM you once I'm able to (I only get 1 PM per 24hrs lol)

They are longer than a single c by about 1 inch not enough to take the place of 2 c inline.

I bought a 18650 2s1p protected battery tray and used 2 sided tape to stick it in the battery tray i used a rotary tool to remove the center divider and drilled out a hole to enlarge the area where the contacts sit and i soldered the wires directly to the contacts

Thinking back to how i modded it one could probably solder 16 awg to the plate and run it through the holes into the tray. Or you could sit both halfs of an xt60 connector on the one side of the shell with one in the battery tray would preserve the function of the tray while allowing the use of 30-60A IMR 26650 (MORE THAN ENOUGH AMPS).


Yep, so it requires some modification to fit :P

My plan is basically the same as yours. I decided to go with 18650s since the Nitecore D4 charger is really nice and works with all of my other rechargeable batteries.
Bought a cheapo $3 dual 18650 battery holder, will stick that in the stock battery tray and solder it to the contacts at the back of the tray.

Cheapo $3 holder will have to eventually be replaced if I rewire the entire thing, but with a stock RS its not any weaker than the other wiring in the gun anyway.

Another option would be to use 26650s with custom sized dummy cells and just remove the dividing plastic piece on each side. No soldering even required with this, but then I couldn't find custom sized dummy cells.

Damnit, I was at work all day so I didnt check forums and missed that sale... How much was it for those 18 cap mags?

And yea I agree the magazines are easier to carry, but my nerf guns are for office warfare (I'm probably going overboard btw lol) so portability isnt a concern.

Craigslist around here has a few interesting listings, I'll probably check them out, but if the people arent willing to ship then I'm out of luck.

Yea I used the blades, I want a high amp hour one like the one I posted. And I also want the 7.4 volts, but I do not want that pack I posted because it has some bad reviews.

That should be better. Turnigy is a good brand from my googling research.
Only issue is that this site only has it at their international warehouse, so shipping would take a while.
