look the little metal man is waving at me
Great click! Lovely diagram. Well explained. Thank you.
:D
Captain. You sir are a genius for starting this series.
Well, I was mostly correct on my thoughts on these. I get the feeling that by the time you finish the series on electronics, I will be confident enough to tackle some flywheelers. I need to start practicing my solder skills.
Cap, have to ask, does your day-to-day involve teaching or mentoring? I realize these Monday Mods are several years old, but I'm new to the hobby and find them very informative. Thanks again.
No, but I have always been good at and enjoyed teaching.
A double thumbs up lad, for knowing the difference bitween electrical and electronic.
...to be honest...now that I think about it...I'm not sure I do. :P
If you decide it matters to you, I'll give you the boring answer.
Sturdy Nerfineer hit me.
Well the difference is, electrical has physical switches, wiring resistors and motors. Where as electronic has A logic component too it. So most flywheels blasters are electrical (stryfe and varients). Where as say the regulator is a electrical/ electronic blaster. As it has motors and a logic PCB to control the select fire component.
I'm on facebook as Sturdy Nerfineer. FYI
If possible, could you do a video on how to wire up a 3 switch rapidstrike I have read about them, but I can never actually find a good picture on where all of the wires are hooked up to
MTB did a great video on a 3 switch rapidstrike and its very easy to follow.
+joeofdoom Quite sure that's 2 switch, Ryan prefers that. This post contains about all of them, though note that the NC and NO on the cycle control switches might be swapped around (displaying it with it pressed).

So it is my bad. Heres torukmakto's guide on the different ways to wire up a rapidstrike torukmakto4.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/tech-rapidstrike-control-circuits-part-1.html#more If thats too complex then I dont know what to say. A 3 switch setup is prob alittle unnecessary anyway its nice to have but you dont really need it.
A cheap or free way to get switches is to scav around for microwaves, where I live we have a day every couple of months or so where people put some of their larger junk out and I've gotten multiple switches for free out of appliances.
+nathan healey cool!
Captain Xavier, my dad was throwing out a microwave, so we pulled it apart for fun, so that's how I came to know this, you can get 2-3 switches per microwave. You can omron switches from some of the (relatively) new microwaves, old, old microwaves may have different brands. I put the omron ones I got in my rayven 😁
Any idea when we might see a vid that covers electronic braking? I really want to put that in my Stryfe and I'm not 100% sure if I understand the written explanations I've found.
I might just do it next week actually. It is really simple in a Stryfe.
Excellent explanation
Is there some sort of staged switch? The first stage would initiate the rev and the second stage would fire the blaster..I'm thinking full auto.
Hi Cap, I was wondering if you were in need of a Mega Rotofury. I have one but don't have the darts for it, but I don't want to crowd your workspace.
Thank you, but I already have one...and the remains of one.
can u please do voltmeters next
Actually, I happen to have a blaster that needs a voltmeter so maybe.
hyperskygames great idea! I've actually been wanting to do this!
So if I just want the switch to rev up the flywheel do I just connect it to the NO?
Yes.
Battery NEG to Flywheel NEG.
Battery POS to Switch NO.
Switch COM to Flywheel POS.
Keep up the good work.
Can you use a microswitch if you're running IMRs?
Depends on your motors. Battery voltage is not what burns it switches, it is motor amperage draw that does.
@@CaptainXavier Can it work on stock motors?
@@mrdufresne05 yes. Stock blasters can handle 2 IMRs indefinitely, 3 IMRs for while, and 4 IMRs for about 15 seconds.
nice video
I just purchased four 1.22, 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries for a stock stryfe, did I make a fatal error in buying them? my question is will they overvolt it.
Well...AA batteries are 1.5v...so if anything you might be under powered...
No, you will need to buy motors that run faster on lower voltages with them. Honeybadgers would run at 28k RPM, though it will most likely sag lower with voltage sag - it should be noted that charged NiMH batteries are actually quite close to 1.5V, so it'll probably end up right about there until you start running out. That should get you supercritical velocities (100-130 FPS depending on darts, wheel balance, and foam-build up), though it would be highly recommended to rewire right about then as well.
If you go with IMRs instead, then the money you shell out for all the cells along with the charger isn't that much more expensive than a Lipo charger.
I know this probably seems dumb simple, but I'd really appreciate it if at some point you did one of these on replacing a buzz bee handle with a maverick handle. I assume it's just cutting and epoxy, sanding, and repainting, but as I have no experience with any of that. I'd like to see it done.
Actually, the buzzBee handles are so small a Maverick handle can fit around them with a little sanding.
Can you make a ultimate mod for higher range/velocity for spring nerf guns?
Or just list everything you can do to extend range?!
Uh, cap, watt's the rating on that switch? (serious question in addition to a pun).
20A 240V
hey cap, there's a minor typo in the title. i thought you were going over 7 different switches haha
i had another question though: I'm trying to find a replacement motor for both a rapidstrike and a rayven in size 130. What are your recommendations? I plan to run both off of 3 IMRs.
I have not studied, tested, or kept up with current flywheel motors options to make a good recommendation, sorry. I have previously used MTB Rhinos and Mishiel 2's. I like them.
Captain Xavier apparently MTB is coming out with sweet new "neo" rhino and hellcats and phasing out old hellcats as the new rhinos will be better. Also OutOfDarts will be a US distributor for one
thanks for the response! i tried googling for Mishiel 2's and couldn't find anything. do you happen to have a link to them?
TheStacheIsEvil you want meishel 2.0 and foam blast, containment crew, or OutOfDarts sell them.
ah, thanks!
What motors are good for hitting under 150 fps?
Pretty much any 130.
Yo captain, I was wondering if possible you could make a video on a nerf khaos or nemesis that goes in detail on how to mod it for a 3s lipo or even imrs. Thanks and keep the good content rolling!
I will eventually as I do have access to both. Really it is just a matter of replacing the wire and adding an XD60 connector. The motors do not need to be replaced.
Hey Cap, dont you mean an XT60 connector? someone might get mad at that
Idk if it's just me, but there's a very high pitch squeaking noise when you talk in this video. Might want to use a lowpass filter.
Other than that, good video
+IAmBobololo honestly, it is probably the fan in the backgrpund. I filmed this a few weeks ago when it was really hot.
Can you put up a buy link for these switches?

Hey captain are you going to do anything interesting with the new nerf guns getting released
Eventually. I tend to not buy new stuff unless I think it is really really cool. There are a few I plan to pick up when they are released.
Um... I didn't watch the full vid yet, but, where's episode 6?
...it was posted last week...
Captain Xavier WELL I'M AN IDIOT but for some reason I couldn't find it ANYWHERE.
Do you have mosfets on your mod tip videos to do list??
Yes...also on my "learn to do" list as I have never used one.
Nice one.. Can never have too much knowledge
First and do you know how to get custom nerf crosdbow internals
Yes I do.
Hey Cap'! Any chance you're gonna cover Mosfets?
Eventually
What about a drain blaster guide
I have already done Drain Blaster build guides.
