+LordDraconical hey idk if anyone else has noticed this but I have,if you listen closely you can hear (what I assume to be) horses,like the sound they make while running with their hooves. also could you make a video on soldering the wires for mods? plz consider this idea
So glad you still do video builds like this. They are my favorite to watch and not to many people do them anymore. I know it's a lot of work to do the mods and the video for them and I really appreciate it. I hope you never stop moding and look forward to meeting you and joining you on the battlefield next week.
The ÆTHERNAUT is probably one of my favorite mods from you, Drac.It has a cool paint job, has the Rayven stock to hold a mag, and looks like my kind of gun.
+LordDraconical I guess your right I wish they still sold them I wasn't into Nerf when it was out then when they stopped selling them bam I made a RUclips account and 😕no more Ravens
+Ryan Marks yeah but it has no accuracy or consistency. And don't blame the "crappy" darts; the motors are too strong and make the darts go horribly askew.
Excellent. Specifically, those logo stickers are the cat's a$$! The sharp lettering really add measurably to the sophistication. Will you paint the foregrip to match?
"LiPos are dangerous" Aye, I've exploded more than a couple during my days as an aeromodeller. Makes you wonder though why these are able to be shipped freely, yet more stable compounds... *cough* TNT *cough*... must be covered by an explosives license
+Dylan Wight Cuz I bet you that someone high up in the shipping business said something like this "Oh, its a battery? Eh, fuck it. it cant be any more dangerous than a few double A's.
Drac can you do a tutorial on how to do your leather grips? I am interested in making a pair of hammershots, and I loved the look of yours. Also, should I get the Blasterparts or Orange Mod Works Kits? Thanks!
hi drac, I just wanted to let you know that you are a very big inspiration to me and the whole reason i started collecting nerf blasters. I got a lot of my 25 blasters because you liked them. This year I'm going to have a indoor war for my birthday and it would mean so much to me if you would even stop by for 5 minutes! so if you wouldn't mind would you come down in april?
I knew from context but I still googled concatenate anyway. lol. BTW, I messaged you about what to use to seal my Hammershot's tube after the revolving barrels tore it apart (because I messed it up, I admit). I guess you're just really busy. Does anybody else know a good place to get material or what the material is? It feels like foam, but I don't know where to get foam that soft!
Hey Drac, did u ever think of a stryfe, longshot and firefly integration? Stryfe with the longshot front part and a mag well under the firefly. Ps: just a suggestion :)
Drac, Im getting ready to do my first intigration and I have a few questions. Im putting a Recon CS-6 handle and stock attachment point on a Roughcut 2x4 What do you use to bond the two shells together? And do you clean the plastic before painting like you do when painting a car?
So, legitimate question here, Drac. How did you learn to put together custom electronics and such for Nerf modifications? I've been wanting to make my own overhauled custom Nerf blaster for a good while now, though I still have trouble with cutting blaster shells and merging them together, sadly having to toss a few unsuccessful projects in the past. I've been trying to learn as much as I possibly could to make some custom blasters in the future.
Hawki007 made a really really clean strayven. The only things that make his better is it has resin casted clear muzzle, jam door and triggers that transfer led light.
drac buy some decal paper if you perfect it you can do pretty much anything best thing is you just use a normal printer with normal ink all you do is print it off cut it out put it in water until the backing is loose and apply then varnish for best result apply to a gloos paint or varnish but varnish over it whatever
+James Barrett Great thing this is a public forum where anyone can give their opinion. And I gave a constructive criticism, that drac can take or leave as he deems. I personally find that large block of uninterrupted white on an otherwise very dark blaster disruptive to the over all aesthetic. A little black and/or dark blue on the fore grip would help break up that large block and tie it into the rest of the blaster while still complimenting the white on the blaster very well.
+Isheian the large block of white is jarring, yes, but it doesn't matter what you would've done. The blaster is dipped, and I understand perfectly why he didn't haphazardly throw on some paint. It would've been a nightmare to try to get it to look good. My point is, your comment fits right into the seemingly endless throng of wannabe art kids sharing their half-baked opinions on someone else's work.
+James Barrett Well I prefer to look at it as another modders opinion. And my works up on nerfhaven, as long as it constructive feel free to critique away. My painting skills suck by comparison but the only way to improve is to keep trying. If you don't want to look online, I'm hoping to start my own channel here on nerf. I welcome constructive criticism, helps me improve. I'm sure most feel the same way.
Awesome mod Drac! Do you still do commissions? I'm really loving all your work but I am not confident enough to stick part of a gun onto another and I definitely don't want to mess with stryfe internals, if you could reply that would be amazing!
Make a revolving flywheel. It could have a hammershot shoot into a stryfe. That would be stupid but a cool video maybe. Keep up with the awesome mods. :P
Do you have any recommendations on mods for a rival apollo? I'm very electronics inclined, rc, arduino, lipo mods, rewires and such, just no ideas come to mind other then typical locks removed, and maybe a built in green laser
So drac ive bean thinkin about being a commissioner for basic mods and repaint (id only be doing them for people at my school) so do you have any tips and btw i already have a modders logo and its just a black five point star.
The foregrip seems a little too plain, perhaps you could put the word "Aethernaut" or the same curvy pattern as the other attachments on it in a dark blue/black, to match the rest of the blaster.
Have you ever thought about making a double flywheel blaster? A strayven with both flywheels still intact. I wonder if that would increase the performance.
Drac- which brush paints and vinyl dye do you recommend- the brands? I am doing my first nerf mod/paint job and it should be up on my channel MithrandilPlays next week
dear LordDraconical Is there any way you can make a more indepth mod guide for noobs by showing them the basic mods, you skip a lot of stuff and I am looking for good mod guides and you are my favorite nerfer. By what I mean is I don't know who I can trust but it seems you have been nerfing and modding for a long time and I really don't know much about modding and don't know how to mod we have all met this problem
So im not much of a modder, and dont want to spend to much, but what should I look for as far as good motors goes? Is there a particular brand? Also where would I buy the motors?
Hey, Drac, do you think you could possibly make either the heavy gunbow, the light gunbow, the bow, or the gunlance from monster hunter four ultimate? Thanks! Jaa NE!
2017: all rayvens have been consumed and have been turned into strayvens. The world may not last mush longer without their presence.
+Sovietkitty Not all, if you follow my instagram you'll know I just completed the one rayven to rule them all.
+LordDraconical I might have to go out and finally make an Instagram account now just to see it
+LordDraconical what would be the best way to get in contact with you?
+LordDraconical do you have any tips for cheap stuff to use on nerf guns ?by the way I love your videos so stay amazing!
+LordDraconical hey idk if anyone else has noticed this but I have,if you listen closely you can hear (what I assume to be) horses,like the sound they make while running with their hooves. also could you make a video on soldering the wires for mods? plz consider this idea
I dare you to try and make a bullpup strayven with two flywheel cages.
Yassssss🙂
Oh and The Endbringer was a wonderful mod, one of my favorites
That could be a good burst fire system
SnowMonkVX i'd rather it have a strayven shell, with the stryfe magwell sanded down so that there can be a nice inline fore grip
What's the point of making a strayven with 2 series of flywheels when you can use a Rayven and easily fit 2.
I missed full mod videos made by drac it's been so long I'm so happy to see this video
Same.
Same here
SAME!!!
same
CJ O'Neil I
Throwback to when dracs workshop was on his floor :D
+Nicholas Coulter good times
LordDraconical better times were the dorm days xD
Eeeeeeey! I totally forgot about leaving you that package XD So long ago- I mean, just look at those blooming bushes!
bobolo+drak =complete awesomeness
You make awesome vids keep it up
I love that checkerboard pattern in the Stryfe handle! D:
+You_just well, now its gone
LordDraconical you're cheery, aren't you.
i love it too
+LordDraconical how much dose a commission cost drac??????¿¿¿¿¿¿
+Zach has games me to
Awesome! Thanks for the plug! Curious how the stickers hold up after use...
Thank you! Theyre going strong so far.
+Jacob Beckett he did this last year
He just called a mag a clip.
We thought you were the chosen one Drac.
When he was walking down that path I thought we were getting #THETALK
Wow I'm impressed! Its a true piece of art! Love the awesome mod vids, keep up the good work :)
That poor Rayven 😭
So glad you still do video builds like this. They are my favorite to watch and not to many people do them anymore. I know it's a lot of work to do the mods and the video for them and I really appreciate it. I hope you never stop moding and look forward to meeting you and joining you on the battlefield next week.
+Zach 317 Im the last of my breed, well, Bobo and I are, RUclips Nerfers who actually still nerf.
+LordDraconical The build is sick! btw love that hydro dip film. I need to get a bag like that, is "woot" .com the website?
now you could put that stryfe motor cage into it
The custom clip and silencer are BEAUTIFUL! Draculina, you have officially now become a Nerf "cosmetic nodder". Incredible detailing.
when i saw the thumbnail i thought it looked liked a sparten laser
Hondo Dogman lol Me too
totally same bro- the Gilgamesh
The ÆTHERNAUT is probably one of my favorite mods from you, Drac.It has a cool paint job, has the Rayven stock to hold a mag, and looks like my kind of gun.
Where in the world are you getting these rayvens from or do you just have a stock pile of them
+DroBlue Gaming I bought a palate of them 3 years ago. They sit in a storage unit awaiting the vampire lords favor.
+LordDraconical wow Its funny how every where I look I can't find a rayven and you have a pallet of them
+Tommy Does Nerf I mean, it was really easy to buy 3 years ago. I had to save up, but my Toys R Us guy gave me a discount for buying so many at a time
+LordDraconical I guess your right I wish they still sold them I wasn't into Nerf when it was out then when they stopped selling them bam I made a RUclips account and 😕no more Ravens
+LordDraconical also it looks amazing did you hydro dip?
This is easily one of if not the most beautiful paint jobs I've ever seen any RUclipsr do
you should make a stryfe-centurion combo, "strycturion"
Strurion would be better
I love the From the Vault 20 box just casually laying in your work station... lol
Why didn't you use your new flywheel cage? The custom one
+RobotHippo 84 I made this 7 months ago.
+LordDraconical ahhhh. Ok. Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
+LordDraconical it does make sense because of old intro xD
+LordDraconical That's a long time ago
+LordDraconical #UploadProcrastination
As always tremendous work Drac work. You are a true inspiration.
(I don't know if he does) but I think he should do occasional giveaways of these nerf guns. Any agree?
Agreed or even an auction because the guns are super cool but i don't have the time to make a modded gun so i would just buy a gun
I'm glad that you will still do start to finish builds. :)
Powerful!? It went like 60 feet
flat
+Ryan Marks yeah but it has no accuracy or consistency. And don't blame the "crappy" darts; the motors are too strong and make the darts go horribly askew.
Lol noob
Never fail to surprise me man. Beautiful job.
why are you using your old intro again???
+Eric Becker why not
he made this video 7 months ago
oh
+Matthew Calin look at the description bud
Eric Becker bc he can
bro, love ur vids!!!! HUGE fan love ur integrations they look soooo cool especially with the hydro dips!
It's a magazine not a clip
The things that hold darts are officially called clips.
Yes but Nerf is wrong this is a magazine it has its own feeding system within it unlike a clip
Lee Harrison If it's nerf, it's called a clip.
+Russell Matterson so what about the battlescout is that a clip or magazine?
Thomas Ryan Never heard of it.
Drac, you used the old intro! That made my day. I miss the old intro.
god, that's a gorgeous blaster, Drac. Phenomenal work! :D
Those guns go together so well drac 👍👍
Nice blaster build dude. I really love this thing.
Excellent. Specifically, those logo stickers are the cat's a$$! The sharp lettering really add measurably to the sophistication. Will you paint the foregrip to match?
and I really love the channel I have been following you for over 1year now
"Gonna take this clipazine.."
Proud drac
"LiPos are dangerous"
Aye, I've exploded more than a couple during my days as an aeromodeller.
Makes you wonder though why these are able to be shipped freely, yet more stable compounds... *cough* TNT *cough*... must be covered by an explosives license
+Dylan Wight Cuz I bet you that someone high up in the shipping business said something like this "Oh, its a battery? Eh, fuck it. it cant be any more dangerous than a few double A's.
Pretty much, yeah.
Drac can you do a tutorial on how to do your leather grips? I am interested in making a pair of hammershots, and I loved the look of yours. Also, should I get the Blasterparts or Orange Mod Works Kits? Thanks!
wow i started falling asleep and drac started snapping to wake me up lol
Drac, what is the best was to make sure the two different shells are even with each other?
Thanks and keep up the great work :D
AHH your killing me with the Strayven tease! I have competition lol ;)
hi drac, I just wanted to let you know that you are a very big inspiration to me and the whole reason i started collecting nerf blasters. I got a lot of my 25 blasters because you liked them. This year I'm going to have a indoor war for my birthday and it would mean so much to me if you would even stop by for 5 minutes! so if you wouldn't mind would you come down in april?
Love bringing back the old intro
I feel like this doesn't shoot very far.. what is the average firing length?
It's still awesome and pretty lol.
I knew from context but I still googled concatenate anyway. lol. BTW, I messaged you about what to use to seal my Hammershot's tube after the revolving barrels tore it apart (because I messed it up, I admit). I guess you're just really busy. Does anybody else know a good place to get material or what the material is? It feels like foam, but I don't know where to get foam that soft!
Hey Drac, did u ever think of a stryfe, longshot and firefly integration? Stryfe with the longshot front part and a mag well under the firefly.
Ps: just a suggestion :)
Have you ever considered using brushless motors? They would increase the guns performance a bunch.
Like the family edit! Is there any benefit or reason to using a orange strife instead of a blue one? Or just supply like I assumed?
Drac, Im getting ready to do my first intigration and I have a few questions.
Im putting a Recon CS-6 handle and stock attachment point on a Roughcut 2x4
What do you use to bond the two shells together?
And do you clean the plastic before painting like you do when painting a car?

I've been trying to learn as much as I possibly could to make some custom blasters in the future.
You know what would be really cool Drac? A Nerf AUG. I don't think anyone has tried it yet maybe you could be the first.
what does a rapid strike a long strike stock and a centurion barrel look like and I like all of your mods and guns keep rocking it drack
Hawki007 made a really really clean strayven. The only things that make his better is it has resin casted clear muzzle, jam door and triggers that transfer led light.
just a question but what job do you want to have or wanted to have or you do have (other than making some amazing nerf review and mod videos)
drac buy some decal paper if you perfect it you can do pretty much anything best thing is you just use a normal printer with normal ink all you do is print it off cut it out put it in water until the backing is loose and apply then varnish for best result apply to a gloos paint or varnish but varnish over it whatever
Love the dip. Looks good, only thing I'd do is put some dark blue paint on the fore grip to help tie it into the blaster.
Well it's a great thing nobody asked you
+James Barrett Great thing this is a public forum where anyone can give their opinion. And I gave a constructive criticism, that drac can take or leave as he deems. I personally find that large block of uninterrupted white on an otherwise very dark blaster disruptive to the over all aesthetic.

Awesome mod Drac! Do you still do commissions? I'm really loving all your work but I am not confident enough to stick part of a gun onto another and I definitely don't want to mess with stryfe internals, if you could reply that would be amazing!
That's awesome! how do I ask him about arranging one though?
Make a revolving flywheel. It could have a hammershot shoot into a stryfe. That would be stupid but a cool video maybe. Keep up with the awesome mods. :P
Do you have any recommendations on mods for a rival apollo? I'm very electronics inclined, rc, arduino, lipo mods, rewires and such, just no ideas come to mind other then typical locks removed, and maybe a built in green laser
My only suggestion is that you paint the grip with the same detailing-on-black as the clip/silencer.
Drag you finally made a mod video thank you
This seems to be related to argonaut... Drac please make a load out themed for those 2 guns, black and blue. That would make me so happy
So dope that you got vinyl stickers of the name. :P
In Drac's video Nerf Mod: The Rival Heracles (First Nerf Rival Pistol/Sidearm) at 1:01 look at the right.I knew I saw that clip somewhere!!!
3 complaints 1-the front grip does not match,2-it's a suppresser, nothing can silence a gun,3-it's a magazine search the difference.
all wrong
interesting how the mag well of the raven turns into clip storage. so its not technically a bullpup anymore since that clip does not feed
not sure I like the foregrip but the paint looks awesome!
+Boom tendo Yeah, I feel like it should at least have the "aether bubbles" to offset the stark white.
So drac ive bean thinkin about being a commissioner for basic mods and repaint (id only be doing them for people at my school) so do you have any tips and btw i already have a modders logo and its just a black five point star.
The foregrip seems a little too plain, perhaps you could put the word "Aethernaut" or the same curvy pattern as the other attachments on it in a dark blue/black, to match the rest of the blaster.
Couldn't you have run the LiPo in the stryfe battery compartment? ~ Thanks, RufusPlays
Out off all integrations to make for yourself, a Strayven? A STRAYVEN!?!?!? No, thatscompletelyfineidontseewhatwrongwiththat.
That's a good pain job Drac
Drac I know you like the foregrip white but i think it would look sick if you painted the foregrip the same as the blaster would look good together
I was skipping through the soldering portion and I heard "I wanted to be magical skill"
Drac, where do you get most of your rayvens? Did you stock up on them or something?
He bought a pallet of them a couple years back
Have you ever thought about making a double flywheel blaster? A strayven with both flywheels still intact. I wonder if that would increase the performance.
+4xdblack
People call them 'afterburners'. They do help with performance as the dart gradually increases speed instead of all at once.
Back to them old intros? Not complaining I freaking love both but just wondering if it's gonna stay?
And Btw I have that exact same rifle bag from Wooten.
THIS IS AN OLD VID.
What would happen if you used the Rayven & Stryfe flywheels (2 sets of them)? Also, why the heck would you ruin a perfectly good Rayven?
Is Drac still making Strayvens for people?
What are the weird electronic noises in the background during the internal section
Drac- which brush paints and vinyl dye do you recommend- the brands? I am doing my first nerf mod/paint job and it should be up on my channel MithrandilPlays next week
+Charan Singh I would suggest vinyl dye (rust oleum) and citadel brush paints
Thanks
You should hydro dip the fore grip and then do some more of that free form white detailing thing on it
Is the blaster inspired by the comic "The Ethernaut" ? .
drac needs to start adding more weight to his shots to make them more accurate
Drac do you know of a nerf gun that holds 20 rounds and is pump primed and is single or atomatic?
Now I really like this blaster and I know that it is YOUR blaster but personally I would have put the precision flywheel casings in it too.
Where do you get Rayvens now?
ones on amazon are way too expensive :P
+LordDraconical
Please tell me...from where do you get your Ravens?!
I know you have said this multiple times Drac, but what kind of putty do you use for combining the shells of nerd guns together?
+Bj Strasser Epoxy Putty.
+Phoenix Raney (Startrekker13) it works either way lol
drac do you do moding guides :3
ps hi and have a grate day
dear LordDraconical
Is there any way you can make a more indepth mod guide for noobs by showing them the basic mods, you skip a lot of stuff and I am looking for good mod guides and you are my favorite nerfer. By what I mean is I don't know who I can trust but it seems you have been nerfing and modding for a long time and I really don't know much about modding and don't know how to mod we have all met this problem
I agree
thank you someone agrees
Get Drac You should try to use 2 sets of fly wheels on one of your builds, I think it might work well but just a idea.
I meant hey not get
Hey drac what would happen if you moved the rev switch to where your pal is so that when you squeeze the handle it will rev up the fly wheels
I think the foregrip would look better with a bit of colour, I think it looks a bit out of place- kinda just a big white wedge slammed onto the front.
really cool paint job bro
Why didn't you put in the motor cage to make it more accurate?
So im not much of a modder, and dont want to spend to much, but what should I look for as far as good motors goes? Is there a particular brand? Also where would I buy the motors?
So THAAAAAAAT'S where that clipazine from months ago went.
This would go brilliant with the Argonaut.
Hey, Drac, do you think you could possibly make either the heavy gunbow, the light gunbow, the bow, or the gunlance from monster hunter four ultimate? Thanks! Jaa NE!
