Maybe as a reminder to how successful the first one was and as a reference to the weather during the firing test, you could name your personal hyperfire "The Calm Before the Storm" or something similar.
+LordDraconical no problem, I learned that when I was modding my rayven with my dad and he made a comment about leaving them in because we were not overvolting it at the time
+Wish Exodus i don't think you know how capacitors are built ,they acually need a insulator to work properly and if you used google for just a second you would find that ceramic capacitors are a thing
Irst time i am planning on modding a gun. When u get a gun for yourself please show an entire mod on what you did like dont cut any parts i really would like to do what you did :D please you inspire me o make a better gun !!!
The objects in question on the dart pusher motor are regular resistors that are just a flat impedance (not thermal resistors which use heat created from current passing through to impede electrons) to reduce the amperage on the motor. This allows Hasbro to use worthless crap motors and not worry about them failing. P.S. sorry about the big words, I am an electrical engineer apprentice.
6:40 I'm not sure if anybody already said it, but those are inductors. They won't harm performance of the motor. (They possibly help it, but I stand to be corrected on that.)
Have you see? Hasbro never ever tried to fixtue ranges or anything like that so why would they do anything like that? Elite wepons are the same expect from a slight improvment and better darts to make the balster look better.
A recommendation would be to use leds for lighting as ur showcasing the internals because an average lamp light is way to harsh and just burn out the gun a bit and it was difficult to see. Plus they last longer. One question, does the blue part of the shell detach for painting purposes?
I think this is the most comprehensive guide I can find, I will be modding my Hyperfire in the same way as you. (and also probably a paint job) What motors did you use for the pusher and flywheels? Do you reckon a Rhino or a Barricade motor for a pusher would work? Don't know about flywheel motors though. Nice Vid! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey, thanks for the info, first time repairing a fly wheel nerf but I was able to fix my 7 year old son's Hyperfire (his favorite) by using the video as a guide. It had a bad switch on the rev trigger, I removed two of the safety switches and used one to replace the bad switch, a little rewiring later and it was good to go. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
tbh as an electrical engineer there are a few things i found wrong with this video such as the fact that you removed the diodes which does not improve the overall performance if anything the diodes are there to protect the circuit from the reversed polarity once you stop feeding power to the motors the motors will obvious continues spinning which will produce power and could out in a reversed polarity, so it'd be a good idea if you put the back. You also did not need to remove the switches, you could of installed transistors for the low current switches to control although i guess in your theory you're trying to keep it a "clean circuit" so lets not over complicate things. I'm actually gonna attempt to do a mod myself and in my case i'll try to make a new case for the front motors so that maybe i could fit bigger sized motors, i will this case using my 3d printer, i'm also gonna add lubricant to have minimal friction resistance. I'd like to if possible use brushless motors, hopefully i could succeed. also if possible make the tube wider to avoid friction. I'm gonna try to take every single aspect of it into consideration
I feel like the hyperfire is a great flag ship gun, the fact that it isnt a re-hashed stryfe and has a great rate of fire, i dont however like the drop of the darts have the longer you continuously fire.. It is a great blaster, but it can be amazing with some elbow grease. Cant wait for a hydro dip paint job drac ;3
Those things you called thermistors are resisters. Thermister measures heat, resisters resist voltage to make lower voltage electronics able to use higher voltage power sources
Actually, there isn't a single resistor in the entire gun. On the feeding motor, there is a set of coil wound inductors. On the motors, there are 4 very odd looking inductors. That's why the resistance on them is in the tenths of ohms. Definitely an odd setup. Under the motor board there are 2 thermistors tho
PSA: If you're going to use alkaline batteries in your Hyperfire for whatever reason, don't use Energizer brand D cells. The projection on the positive side of Energizer D cells is shorter than on some other brand's D cells, and this will cause the battery to not make contact with the terminals in the Hyperfire's battery tray. I have been having problems with my Hyperfire from the day I got it, and I only just now fixed it by switching to a different brand of batteries. Before this, I had been thinking that I was going to need to Dremel out some plastic near the terminals in my Hyperfire's battery tray so the batteries would get reliable electrical contact.
Hey drac just putting together a similar mod of my own using your video as a reference. I noticed that the pusher motor is actually bigger than the flywheel motors when compared side by side. I noticed when I tried to replace it with a mtb rhino and it wouldn't fit cause the rhino was too small.Any idea what the size might be? And has the stock motor held up to the increased voltage being pushed through it? If so I might just leave it stock like you did.Cheers.
Wait I'm confused… Didn't you forget to make this thing shoot vortex discs? I mean the guy only carries vortex clipazine on him so how's it going to be able to fire it? :p
+LordDraconical watching the slow mo I noticed the belt/jam door was lifting up with each shot... Just a thought, but a way of strapping that down might make the system more efficient
Forgive me for taking up your time sir, but I was wondering if the pusher motor you are using in this gun is the same as the ones in the flywheel. In other words; are all three motors 3s compatible? You see, I have been plunged into doubt as I have seen modders more learned than myself using mtb honey badgers (2s) for pusher motors and mtb rhinos (3s) for flywheel motors. But they use these under the same lipo 3s powersource. As a modder of supreme stature such as yourself, I was wondering if you could bring order to this nagging question.
I expect a rematch against the nosferatu now that the "full potential" hyperfire mod is out. and PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ show us a nerf war asap with this modded hyperfire.
I really like this blaster but I am a little concerned with the feed mech.....How long will the belt last under high fire rates and those gears sounded like they were grinding during the final firing. I think its going to be easy to wear the gears out on this thing and highly doubt nerf will be selling replacement belts or gears. 3d printed gears a bit iffy. I know in the R/C hobby gear mesh is critical. Most run a metal pinion with a nylon spur. This should be interesting.
Quick question: Could you put a NC microswitch against the conveyor belt (wired in parallel to the other switches) so that when you pull the trigger, it does one full cycle? Just its annoying that you can't shoot a single dart easily
This is by far the first blaster I must have. I love this kind of thing. If I snag the blaster, how do I send it to you to mod it. Obviously I'd be paying for your services :) I know I will break it trying to do this to it. I absolutely need the Drac version of this gorgeous foam flinger.
Drac, if you would like to know the proper name of "spindle of gears", it's called a complex geartrain. If you need any help with gears, looking up "mechanical advantage gears" can help you out.
so, here's a question from a dumb guy... would the 3 AA to D battery converters add any performance to a stock Hyperfire? I imagine using trust fires would up the performance but how would regular alkaline batteries fare in this scenario?

drac: oh no its going to rain!
hyperfire: oh hell yeah its gonna rain!
W
its like a movie qupte or something here take my like
Just take 40
language! hyperfire.
Dude would kill for the parts list!
that fore grip is BEGGING to have a small tac light integrated to it
Ikr I want to paint my old Cs recon light blue and put it in that or just any light in general
I totally agree
I'm putting a pwm in my hyperfire pistol
i like how nerf finally makes this gun that can fire 5 darts per second, and someone comes in and doubles it.
One mod suggestion for this blaster: Replace the trigger with some kind of linear variable resistor so you can have some control over the fire rate.
"don't know what it does but we'll remove it anyways" ,seems like a good thing to do
Elijah Salinas seems legit
Wow!! I am absolutely stunned about how fast the rate of fire is! That's just fantastic!! Great mod Drac!:-)
Wow. I actually want that dart hose.
+Zachary Abeyta "dart hose" OML LOLOLOL.
+Zachary Abeyta
"I am a tornado of death and bullets!" -CL4P-TP
All we need now is a 500 drum and a turret mount xD
+MiniCrafter that'd be sick
Drac is probably the first to upload a mod guide for this blaster.
Why in god's name would you do this in the dark...
+Brandon Marcial somebody doesnt watch the vlog channel. :(
+LordDraconical ill sub to it but still why do you do it in the dark
+Icy Alpaca i prefer working in low light
+ryanlim eekern he is hypersensitive to light so he prefers the dark more.....
drac dis is for u mai love
he's a vamp duuuuu
Maybe as a reminder to how successful the first one was and as a reference to the weather during the firing test, you could name your personal hyperfire "The Calm Before the Storm" or something similar.

No he's LordDerpconical

theres no C
Hater alert!

Ever wanted to call this something?
Call it the Scorpion Evo.
Correct name is CZ3A1 and it shoots 1000 RPM
Still the fastest gun in Black ops 2.
YES!!! BO2 FANS UNITE!
Damn this is probably going be the best gun for HvZ and wars
the "thermistors" on the motors are inductors so the current doesn't make any noise ie radio interferance
+Stephen Beauchamp Thank you! Now i know.
+LordDraconical no problem, I learned that when I was modding my rayven with my dad and he made a comment about leaving them in because we were not overvolting it at the time
+Stephen Beauchamp They are actually ceramic capacitors not inductors.

You do all the important bits, off camera. Thanks.
Hey drac, the motor powering the conveyor belt is actually bigger than a 130. There was a post about it on reddit about a week ago.
About a week agoooooo... :)
I the hyperfire internals seem to be simpler than the rapidstrike, don't you agree?
6:40 I'm not sure if anybody already said it, but those are inductors. They won't harm performance of the motor. (They possibly help it, but I stand to be corrected on that.)
Paint the blaster and name it the "StormBringer"
+Ben “Sheep” Lam Give it a paintjob with thundercloud detailing, and lightning coming out of the cloud toward the barrel.
I hope it gets better range when it's fully released
There's no way hasbro would do that unless all blasters were broken but you can dream
Have you see? Hasbro never ever tried to fixtue ranges or anything like that so why would they do anything like that? Elite wepons are the same expect from a slight improvment and better darts to make the balster look better.

Don't know about flywheel motors though.
Nice Vid!
Thanks for the inspiration!
That fire rate, you'd need to build a special magazine just to fire it for any length of time. Looks pretty sweet to me
the lighting makes it seem like an evil science experiment thing

When Drac promises a hail of death, he delivers!
It fires so fast it makes a micky mouse laugh while firing
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm trying so hard not to cry.
this is the best "Load dumper" I've seen so far
this is the image that they wanted for the stampede... which is by far the coolest looking blaster ever
All I can say is WOW! That and, I want one now! great job on the mods, love this.
tbh as an electrical engineer there are a few things i found wrong with this video such as the fact that you removed the diodes which does not improve the overall performance if anything the diodes are there to protect the circuit from the reversed polarity once you stop feeding power to the motors the motors will obvious continues spinning which will produce power and could out in a reversed polarity, so it'd be a good idea if you put the back.

Would it be possible to have a part list for this?
wow drac that is sick - rate of fire is insane great vid
Hi CJ
Hewo it me i i in a chines restauremnt eating grl tso chikn num num num
The new workspace could use more light, it's a bit dark and hard to see what's happening from time to time.
I agree.
i can totally see junking that giant empty front section and doing an epic integration and maybe putting on a connector nozzle.
I'm so glad you didn't use tamiyas for this. MTB rhinos are pretty much the best motor options out there.
I feel like the hyperfire is a great flag ship gun, the fact that it isnt a re-hashed stryfe and has a great rate of fire, i dont however like the drop of the darts have the longer you continuously fire.. It is a great blaster, but it can be amazing with some elbow grease. Cant wait for a hydro dip paint job drac ;3
*re-shelled and it is a rapidstrike with better stryfe internalls
*re-shelled and it is a rapidstrike with better stryfe internalls
uh uh uh there's a problem with the firing demo being that I blinked and I missed all the darts

Drac!!! The uploads are insane!!!! Sooo many videos!!!!!!
Oml that is INSANE! Like that ROF....just crazy. Luv it. cant wait to get one
You could integrate an LED for a tac light in the front of the foregrip, and hide the battery in that hollow space
+Darth Sickler That's exactly what I thought when I saw the foregrip!
The foregrip on this thing looks like it's made for an integration. Oh the possibilities.
PSA: If you're going to use alkaline batteries in your Hyperfire for whatever reason, don't use Energizer brand D cells.
The projection on the positive side of Energizer D cells is shorter than on some other brand's D cells, and this will cause the battery to not make contact with the terminals in the Hyperfire's battery tray.

Drac I love your channel and your content is consistently great, but what's up w/ the lighting in this vid?
This blaster with a vulcan chain would be very nice
+ImFrantic
Unfortunately this pusher mech only works with magazines.
You do know that Vulcan chains are inferior to box mags right?
Doesn't mean they aren't fun.
imshanedulong rate of fire is very limited though with chains
In slowmo it still fires like a stryfe, which is crazy fast
To be honest, Drac, I think that the coolest thing you could do to this would be a full on sleeper with heavy internal mids.
+Flaming Glory Isnt that exactly whats been done?
I'm talking full on motor replacement, etc. Don't just "improve it" OVERHAUL it. That'd be cool.
exactly what he did
Hey drac just putting together a similar mod of my own using your video as a reference. I noticed that the pusher motor is actually bigger than the flywheel motors when compared side by side.

Wait I'm confused… Didn't you forget to make this thing shoot vortex discs? I mean the guy only carries vortex clipazine on him so how's it going to be able to fire it? :p
Hasbro be like "We don't like you modders removing the jam doors. So now you can't."
Hey drac, for a adhesive, i recommend shoo goo, i use that in my blaster mods and it works wonders❄️🔥
i cant wait till the modulus tri strike to come out so i can buy one and see you review it (Your one of my favorite youtubers)
Here's an idea... Cut off the stock and put a lipo in the front so it could be a total spray and pray rush blaster!
Perhaps try to make a extended mag for this? Heck, if only the stampede actually came with a 50 dart drum, talk about 10 darts per second...
+LordDraconical watching the slow mo I noticed the belt/jam door was lifting up with each shot... Just a thought, but a way of strapping that down might make the system more efficient
accuracy looks better than a rapidstrike. Can't wait to get hold of one of these. when's the release date for the UK????
the components on the motor board are inductors/ chokes. mostly for rf suppression.
The stock nerf rev triggers can take the current from a 3s
DRAC WHEN THIS IS FULLY RELEASED , YOU HAVE TO MOD IT AND TURN IT INTO A DOCTRINE OF PASSING!!!!!
I saw the review of this gun and it's a cool gun and you are already modding it
Drac, thats insane! When's the official release of the stock one?
Forgive me for taking up your time sir, but I was wondering if the pusher motor you are using in this gun is the same as the ones in the flywheel. In other words; are all three motors 3s compatible? You see, I have been plunged into doubt as I have seen modders more learned than myself using mtb honey badgers (2s) for pusher motors and mtb rhinos (3s) for flywheel motors. But they use these under the same lipo 3s powersource. As a modder of supreme stature such as yourself, I was wondering if you could bring order to this nagging question.
Darts unloaded within 3 seconds. jeez!!!! Now I wonder how many DPS this thing gets ? and gauntlet tossed to the Rapidstrike
Look at the Scorpion EVO from COD BO2....I think they are similar
what the fuck did i just witness its official drac has hax
If you could change the belt gears, the one off the motor,to not be a worm gear, that would make it go so much faster.
DRAC. Put the battery in the handle and make it a stryfe sized God-blaster!
+Captain Sapphire Then HVZ mods will ban it cause 2 op
Well, the downside is it chews through ammo, so if this were a video game, it would be "balanced".
Captain Sapphire yup
pushermotor may be similar to a 130 in lenght, but not in width. so standard 13D/130 motors won't fit as pushermotors without some work.
OMFG!!!! Sick gun, how much did it cost too modify?
I expect a rematch against the nosferatu now that the "full potential" hyperfire mod is out. and PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ show us a nerf war asap with this modded hyperfire.
This is the most interesting mod guide
Am I the only one who can't wait for a uzi version of those, cut off stock and put the lipo in the hollow front grip
I really like this blaster but I am a little concerned with the feed mech.....How long will the belt last under high fire rates and those gears sounded like they were grinding during the final firing. I think its going to be easy to wear the gears out on this thing and highly doubt nerf will be selling replacement belts or gears. 3d printed gears a bit iffy. I know in the R/C hobby gear mesh is critical. Most run a metal pinion with a nylon spur. This should be interesting.
Maybe you can put on sunglasses or something while modding your guns in brighter occasions.
I'm new to this nerf gun stuff but I just got a Hyperfire and this thing needs a mod! What motors did you use :)?
I would probably cut of that hollow section under the motor cage and add a handle grip from the recon instead.
13:15 You're welcome. On a sidenote: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE?!!??!
Quick question: Could you put a NC microswitch against the conveyor belt (wired in parallel to the other switches) so that when you pull the trigger, it does one full cycle? Just its annoying that you can't shoot a single dart easily
are the "aussie" motors you use MTB rhinos? Also, did you use the same motor for the belt mech?
Nice job drac! Those plastic gears and rubber belt make me nervous. Easy to break and stretch out.
+Isheian but also means that they can be 3D printed from a stronger plastic, or even cast from metal if somone wanted really long lasting gears
+LordDrac, can you kindly draw a diagram about which connector go into which? It will be greatly helpful. Awesome video!
definitely needs a paint job drac
Agreed
This is the blaster that actually *needs* 50 and 100-dart coil mags. Get on it Worker, before E-kind beats ya to it!
Drac I see those Longstrike internals, what're you planning?
Are you worried about burning the conveyor motor on 3S? Or did you upgrade that motor as well?
So Drac, you going to be open for commissions any time soon?
Very professional lightning
thx for the mod guide LordDraconical :)
This is by far the first blaster I must have. I love this kind of thing. If I snag the blaster, how do I send it to you to mod it. Obviously I'd be paying for your services :) I know I will break it trying to do this to it. I absolutely need the Drac version of this gorgeous foam flinger.
That thing is a Nerf Trol-cannon! So HYPER
LOL
I'd like to see an integrated triad instead of that monstrosity foregrip
Drac, if you would like to know the proper name of "spindle of gears", it's called a complex geartrain. If you need any help with gears, looking up "mechanical advantage gears" can help you out.
Ps love your vids :)
Paint it to look like a ppsh-41
Drac..... GIVE IT BETTER PUSHER! Use a Rhino. It'll be fun.
That's seriously impressive!
Remove the stock, rewyer to a 3x batery trey, put the trey in the front handgard.
so, here's a question from a dumb guy... would the 3 AA to D battery converters add any performance to a stock Hyperfire? I imagine using trust fires would up the performance but how would regular alkaline batteries fare in this scenario?
