Rapidstrike Flywheel bogs

14 May 2015 - 10:13 AM

So i just finished my Rapidstrike mod and when I put my stock batteries in it and tried to fire, The moment the dart touches the flywheels it bogs and basically stops working

now I did swap out the motors for some nicer ones from pololu i put these in https://www.pololu.com/product/611

My thought is that the stock voltage isn't enough to run the new system but I just wanted to check with the modding elders here on the forums before moving forwad
also pictures to come as soon as I get the motors working

EDIT: As far as my wire layout, i only popped the old motors off and put the new ones in, I didn't change any of the wiring except to remove the switch for the clip that sits right next to the battery compartment

Super loud flywheels

I just picked up my first rapid strike, I plan on replacing the motors with some I saw recommended on here, and I plan to rewire it.
As a noob to modding nerf (but not a noob when it comes to electronics), how can I try to quiet down the flywheels a bit?
I mean I know I will never have a silent gun and that's not what I want, but they really roar I can't even talk over them when they are spinning.

I have searched around a bit and can't really find any one with a similar issue to mine.
Any insight would be great!
