Hi guys.. I love SGnerf's R3L design but wanted a more solid feel to it, so what I did was I took a Longstrike and dremelled away all the internal ridges and inserted the R3L into it. Here's what I got. Lemme know what u guys think.
I call it the snip3R mainly because of its looks, but it does go 130ft with the "stock" R3L coil spring.

I've finally gotten around to doing p the batteries and.................. a battery tray locking mechanism.

First the batteries..


I decided to use 4 x 3.7V 2800Mah Lithium Ion Batts.
Had to stretch the springs a bit to fit in the cells.


What i did was to grind the internals of a AA to D cell convertor, leaving only the front nipple.


Here's a comparison

Next is the battery tray locking mechanism



This is a pretty simple mod. I just bought 2 metal buckles from a hardware store ($2 each).
Drilled a few pilot holes( 1 set of each side) and screwed in the pieces.
So now i don't have to go through the hassle of using a screwdriver to open the tray. I'm sure $4 is worth it.
That's all for now folks.
