[Guide] Rapidstrike with 18650s in stock battery tray

13 December 2014 - 09:54 PM

I finally got my Rapidstrike today and decided I didnt want to wait for my 18650 battery holders to come in. I took a look at the stock tray and figured out its actually pretty easy to modify for 18650s.
I tried to do it in a way that would be reversible if necessary.

Note: I know this is NOT the optimal way to modify a Rapidstrike. This is my quick and simple, almost drop-in first step. Safety wise, I think it is fine as I haven't modified any of the gun's internals at all. Let me know otherwise.

The guide is hosted on Imgur here: http://imgur.com/a/hIzyr


Random rant: On a separate note... I was kinda pissed off about my brand new Rapidstrike. The magazine flywheel switch was jammed, so I had to fix that. And even worse, a wire leading to the pusher motor was broken, so I had to re-solder that.

Best place to buy magazines and drums?

Just wondering, where do you guys tend to buy magazines and drums from?

The 18 capacity magazines are readily available from retailers, but everything else seems like a pain to get.

I had some luck so far with buying two magazines from the trading section here, but everywhere else I look (i.e. ebay) tends to sell things at a mark up.

Especially the 35 round drums. I'm trying to get one or two for my Rapidstrike build but the only place I can find them is ebay and they're going for $25-30 average.
Even 25 round drums cost $25-30. At that price, I might as well get a Rampage, keep the drum, and sell/donate the rest.

I haven't had time to go find a goodwill in the city yet though, but I feel like nerf isnt as popular around here (Manhattan) since the kids have no where to shoot em. Heck, I didn't even own a nerf gun until we started shooting them at the office.
Are there other good places where I should be looking?
