This is another great video all round, not only is the blaster very impressive after modding, but your build footage with time lapse is very effective. Loving the format 😀👍
This is an amazing video. From the modding, to the errors ( please stand by ) 😂, to the blaster itself! Really appreciate the effort and work for this video, thanks for sharing! That thing is scary!
I actually have a load out already that would accommodate this dart hose. I figured out a way to rig up a harness to hold a reusable wine tote (meant for 6 wine bottles) like a chest rig attached to a backpack. The backpack can hold about 12 mags (or hundreds and hundreds of loose darts) and the chest rig part holds 18 long mags. That would provide enough mags to last a round or two of play with the Matrix Fire Hose.
Wow, that actually sounds interesting. You might be better off using drum mags, theyd probably even fit better, but id still love to see a post/vid of you gear configuration
I bought this along with a villainator some times ago, and I can tell that these two are underrated. Compare to nerf, I would say that these are superior in terms of performance, capacity, build quality, highly modifiable, and most importantly, the price.
I loved hearing Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, that brought back so many memories. The blaster was EPIC too! will the wheel pusher work with short darts?
omg dr. flux you did! i never saw such an high rate of fire on a dart blaster.... and i have seen a lot of vids. what is faster: the pink p90 or this one? edit: even at 0.25x speed you can not really see them 😮
Depends on what you want for FPS. Krakens with daybreaks in 40.5mm is getting me around 170s-180s. Valkyries with worker smooths in a 42.5 is right under 150. Just keep in mind 3s will give you a slightly faster fire rate
God damn, that's a dart hose alright. Is there any possibility you could make it select fire to... Er, sorta control the rate of fire? Nonetheless, the mag conversion makes that Matrixfire a really appealing looking blaster.
select fire would be tricky but not impossible. The wheel that feeds the darts into the flywheels is eccentric so theoretically you could put a small cherry switch in there to count cycles. Then its just a matter of throwing in a arduino or narfduino.
I think its really impressive what it does but the fact it dumps a mag in like 2 seconds almost makes it seem useless unless u wanna literally like he said 1 mag 1 tag
as cool as this mod is I still think the matrixfire in stock form is pretty bad due to inconsistent feeding and to make it good you have to turn it into something it wasn't designed to do (take magazines) which imo makes the original design a failure especially since they've made good hopper blasters in the past
Because of the design of the "pusher motor" the magazine is a big part of what allows the blaster to have the rate of fire that it does. This style of pusher doesn't lend itself well to chains.
definitely needs a loadout of drums to use effectively.
You might remember Dart Dragon’s loadout from SNCC games from a few years ago. Loads of drums on that.
I’m really glad you did this in Long Format. I know it’s a bigger pain in the rear to edit and film but it’s so much nicer to consume content this way
The "pusher" is a great example of ways to avoid solenoids
Yeah and a PWM board and you could dial in ROF even bursts
I think the wheel is great but a select fire solenoid is just chef’s kiss
Now this is MY kind of blaster. Dart hoses are by far the most amount of fun.
The Matrix mod you pulled was so beautifully done. Props to your craftsmanship Doc!

Thank you very much! Just trying different formats!
Agreed! Excellent video Dr Flux!

DR.F
Wow. This is amazing. Thanks for showing us how it is done. Keep up the great work.
My favorite blaster of recent months. Awesome to see it modified. Thanks for the video!
1:48 it does in deed look pretty.
That’s a really well-designed part!
oh man i wanna see this with a 50 round drum! SO MANY DARTS AT THE SAME TIME!!

Thanks cake creative customs! Just order mine! Can't wait to try them.
With this thing an old six round make would basically just be a shotgun shell!
6:22 huh.. so this is what the storm troopers be using.. can’t hit a dang thing 😂😂
I really would like to see how this works with just the regular AA batteries.
The RPM is roughly the same with stock motors and batteries but you have to burst with it or else the range cant even clear an average hallway.
Will it be viable to put a select fire kit in this to give it a more practical use?

İ have an stupid idea but mag fed blaster that has a hopper as a back up while reloading
That is indeed a ludicrous fire rate.
Thank you!
You bet!
Those Lokis should work great on rival ammo. Hooked up to a proton pack the possibilities are endless!
this took spray and pray to another level.
You don't even need to pray with that rate of fire it's just spray you're bound to hit something
Where did you get that tool station with the magnetic tool plate and handy hands?
When the Nerf zombie apocalypse happens we know where to go 😂
Which flywheel cage did you use?
Am I crazt for wanting C3 to make a version that works with Dominator mags?
Yes please! I still have like 10 dominator mags
Would the firehose attachment work without modifying the blaster in any other way? If so, how would you go about removing it once it’s on if need be?
omg dr. flux you did! i never saw such an high rate of fire on a dart blaster.... and i have seen a lot of vids. what is faster: the pink p90 or this one? edit: even at 0.25x speed you can not really see them 😮
I’m looking to make one of these for myself. Would you recommend going for 3s or 2s. I would use fangs for 2s but idk what I should use if I’d do 3s.
Depends on what you want for FPS. Krakens with daybreaks in 40.5mm is getting me around 170s-180s. Valkyries with worker smooths in a 42.5 is right under 150. Just keep in mind 3s will give you a slightly faster fire rate
@@ryanassini4706 tysm
In my mind the only way to chrono this would be one dart in the mag...
To get the FPS load 1 dart in the magazine. (So you don't get jammed like that if it isn't lined up just right.)
Just imagine making a model of a A-10 warthog and it has this for its main 30mm Gatling gun lol
awesome, a bigger lepus
Love this mod
I’m now wondering if this would work with a Kettenschnecke from GenCoMegawerks
Ise it with a 50 round drum mag
rate of fire: yes
Question can it hold the 50 round drum
i don't see why not however I do not have a titan drum to test with
@@drflux that thing with a titan drum would be insane
how fast can it empty a 50 round drum?
Like the chopper from borderlands
This is essentially a dart zone hyperfire on a 3s lipo #flywheelmasterace #op_af
My thoughts exactly
@@drflux Ikr lol
anyone know what size wheels to use? or specific ones/the ones used in the video?
thanks :)
worker smooths work great
You should do a nerf war with this but only use 6 round magazines
Slap on the Titan’s 50 dart drum mag and you’ve got the best room clearer ever
I want game footage 😂😂
I think this mod would benefit from having a drum mag
God damn, that's a dart hose alright. Is there any possibility you could make it select fire to... Er, sorta control the rate of fire?

@@drflux Can't wait to see this if you ever attempt it. Aside from that, man, this thing needs a drum mag O.O
I mean just putting in a 6 round mag would be the equivalent of a 6 dart shotgun blast at that fire rate.
Make some modded precision darts so the darts don’t come out like a shotgun blast
Oh my god, this is an HVZ nightmare
This definitely needs a rate of fire adjuster
I think its really impressive what it does but the fact it dumps a mag in like 2 seconds almost makes it seem useless unless u wanna literally like he said 1 mag 1 tag
Not every thing needs to be for nerf wars. Some times you can just have things for fun.
guys i think we found the Ppsh-41 of the nerf community
No imagine if you put the titans mag on it
as cool as this mod is I still think the matrixfire in stock form is pretty bad due to inconsistent feeding and to make it good you have to turn it into something it wasn't designed to do (take magazines) which imo makes the original design a failure especially since they've made good hopper blasters in the past
Too bad the mag well can't be flipped easily, so it loads like a Bren. Imagine having and loading squire with a pile of mags swapping them in
its know the machine gun from a a10 warthog.
i really want got one to mod one, but i don't want to buy from a sketchy guy on ebay selling one for 60$+30$ shipping looking in thrift stores.
I have a matrixfire but don't want that mod cool as it is becuase I love the hopper it's just geius and I don't need that kind of fire power
At that rate of fire . . .what's even the point of using a mag?
Just mount a bigass chain and sentry it
Because of the design of the "pusher motor" the magazine is a big part of what allows the blaster to have the rate of fire that it does. This style of pusher doesn't lend itself well to chains.
If hasbro let you sell that on the market it would make you lots of money.
This is by Dart Zone..
dude this is dead ass nerf lord of wolves
What a crap. Darts are so imprecise, they are useless .
They are way more precise in spring-powered blasters
Never heard of suppressing fire?
I wanna see that thing dump the 50 round titan drum so bad
Captain Xavier has a short doing that
@@ryanassini4706 bet imma check it out, thanks for the info!
