Dart Zone Pro MKIII Batteries Compared: AA vs 3S vs 4S

After careful considerations, I performed one of the most daring mods I've ever done on this blaster. I have to say I was pleased at the final results and the video speaks for itself. I hope you enjoy!

Let me know if you like these kind of videos and would like to see more of them in the future. I live in an area where Nerf still has yet to develop like it has in other areas of the US, but hopefully I can help change that over time. My ultimate goal is to bring people together through the wholesome fun this hobby brings, and ultimately open a local Nerf arena where we can all play!
I hope you enjoyed the video and want to thank you for visiting, watching, liking, sharing, and subscribing. Every little helps! 🔫

I gotta admit, I spend so much time making videos I’m not watching enough stuff by others. Love your videos.

[@notnuffnerf]

It means a lot to me that one of my favorite foam sport KZbinrs has watched my videos. Thank you so much! These can get exhausting sometimes, especially with life and work in the middle. It’s nice when someone notices! 🔫💚 #FoamFam

[@techcenter9191]

I Keep telling him I don’t think he’s aware how likable his stuff is. I like how the topics are unique and not bland. Like that four banger video. That’s kind of like the video we never knew we needed 🤣

[@maritimefoam]

@@notnuffnerf Awfully nice of you to say. I imagine I will be learning and using a lot from your videos, you know way more about power than me, so I will make sure I credit you when I do :) Already wanted to overclock some blasters that are already 9v and then I see this crazy 4S test haha.

[@foamtastic]

@@maritimefoam don’t get too carried away unless you have like 4 of every blaster. You have some nice vintage gems! 🤣

[@maritimefoam]

@@foamtastic I… I do have 4 of many blasters… :P but I’m careful with the classics haha

[@foamtastic]

Ugh dude you have so many crazy ideas! Thanks for making my time in college go by fast. Please don’t stop making these awesome videos!

[@trash2treazures]

Dude as someone that’s not even a hard core Nerfer, I would totally get this. Completely ludicrous.

[@infinismo]

What!?!?!?!!? This is unreal bro! And your video skills grow by the second. Keep it coming bro you got a sub for life here!

[@NightFury-jd8ce]

Great share - as the hobby trends toward only half darts being most accurate with the Dart Zone/Adv Force/Max lines all out of Prime Time Toys, this is a wickedly refreshing share of halflengths AND all the newer popular full length darts crushing it with tight shot groupings even at that screaming 4S full auto mode. Thanks!

[@notnuffnerf]

Thanks! I’m one of the few that are still clinging onto traditional length darts and it’s nice to see them still perform well and almost even match the performance of half lengths in some instances. I have the accuracy test episode coming this weekend which will add another layer of compare-ability to my dart test series (Speed episode is out now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaqneIypfrR0r5I). I’ll probably do a conclusion episode which will probably help determine the absolute best dart through every scenario. I really appreciate the support!

You discovered ALIEN technology....so AWESOME....👽👍

HOLY COW ......that thing is AMAZING !!! 🤓

[@notnuffnerf]

You have no idea brother

[@Someone-iv3cj]

Hey NotNuffNerf do you have a topic for Blaster Research ep 2?I hope so because I think that series is great?

[@notnuffnerf]

Funny you mention that. Its actually the very next video coming on Tuesday! Blaster research episode 3! :)

[@Someone-iv3cj]

@@notnuffnerfAh that's right forgot you already posted ep 2 even though I already watched it!

[@waaaksun]

We took advantage of that same sale and picked of the MK3 + Max Stryker together for less than what the MK3 alone retails for.

[@notnuffnerf]

That sale was insane! They need to have one again so I can get the new DZM blasters!

[@NightFury-jd8ce]

I missed the $65 sale - sold out so quick with FPT 2022 going on at same time (planned well DZ) but am quite pleased with AA and 3S performance with alarm - may need a better charger - didn't see you using a LiPo Meter/Alarm with it - any extra safety concerns with DIY 4S battery pack?

[@notnuffnerf]

Thanks so much! Common sense goes a long way when handling these batteries. I try to stress that in all my videos that contain some kind of battery DIY in them. My best advice for someone who is starting out is always go with a high-drain batteries. They are about 70% more forgiving if you would happen to do something that they don’t like such as over-draining the current, or using them for a prolonged period of time in a stressful scenario. I have never encountered such scenario, but it’s always good to use precaution because these batteries can be dangerous. High-drain batteries are designed for high current loads and are usually harvested from robot vacuums (Roomba/iRobot), cordless vacuums (Shark/Dyson) and some cordless drills. I also used this battery in the ultra speed video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5jHdmauebSEh68) but I ultimately went 12V on that platform. Just let me know if you ever have a ny questions as I’ve been doing this for a long time and I appreciate you watching the video!

[@TheSybermedic]

I have a MKIII with CNW's Masterkey and a 3D Printed Solid stock. Your video shows an easy way to get firing performance that matches the looks of my MKIII.

[@SupermanPrime-vb2un]

In Germany u pay 230 bucks for it. Man 65 is a steal.

[@notnuffnerf]

That’s a crazy price bro! You would think it would be cheaper since Dart Zone distribution is based in Singapore!

[@timshooter8033]

Had to revisit this video...when I saw this MK 3 hit 270+ ...I was like "Wow...this thing is a MONSTER" Not-Nuff your Videos are AWESOME Bro ! 👽Technology...all the way !!! 😎💥🔫

[@notnuffnerf]

Thank you brother. I’m uploading a channel update soon. Been working on some changes but big things are coming that will make the wait worth it!

[@karlschunke909]

How does it hold? What's the rate of fire? I just saw this video and ordered Krakens to replace the pusher and flywheel motors. Will they work on 4s too?

[@ilmakopad]

It's unreal that you're getting that kind of performance without modding the internals at all! Looking into using a 4s with parts that increase the rate of fire 👀

[@notnuffnerf]

That’s a great idea. Maybe a 3d printed pinion for the fire rate, or a higher RPM full auto motor.

[@ilmakopad]

Yeah, there's a two-sided gear out there that doubles the RoF by itself, a pusher that goes with it to reduce jamming, and an arm that's less likely to snap (like Drac's did) ...to name a few things

[@edgardopereles9966]

Does your MK3 work? Mine after the 2nd week died. I used lipo and AA. It was just shooting to target. No heavy play.

[@notnuffnerf]

That’s strange. I heard the rev switch may have some contact problems. Check the rev switch electronics.

[@edgardopereles9966]

@@notnuffnerf , I will check.

@@notnuffnerf I hear you brother. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Hard work never goes unrewarded plus we are here for you bro!

[@E-sk8Fr]

can I go for 4S upgrade on the Nerf Ultra Amp? I see most of the people going 3S..... why not 4S?

[@Matt-md5yt]

Had this suggested and had to check it out.

[@lookoutforchris]

So destroys full length darts at 4s… but what’s the fps for half lengths are are they also destroyed?

[@notnuffnerf]

Half-lengths are retaining their shape. I just think these bamboos are the wrong darts for this blaster. Flywheels use the head of the dart for crush, and these darts have small diameter heads which is optimal for sealed breeches. So the flywheels are gripping on the foam and tearing it up. The short darts are lighter and have less material so they are overall less affected.

[@legomeaker101potato]

does this only destroy darts? or does it also destroy the motors?

[@notnuffnerf]

Just darts in my experience. 3S is the perfect balance in my opinion. It was a cool experiment though.

[@legomeaker101potato]

Would regular 4s work / burn motors

[@HeroesBots]

Nice vid 👍 My Mk3 has an issue with the rev trigger though. It doesn't rev all the time when depressed...only works some of the time. Anyone has this issue. Would like to know how to fix it

[@notnuffnerf]

I think it might be a switch contact situation. Check out Maritime Foam. He has a lot of work and troubleshooting in the Mk 3!

[@HeroesBots]

@@notnuffnerf Thanks, will do man

There's no way 4s works on the stock motors!

[@lookoutforchris]

@@timshooter8033 I’ve seen several people burn theirs out on just 3s. The switches are the weak point.

[@notnuffnerf]

It’s possible that this is a legitimate case. I have not put hundreds of sustained rounds through mine at 4S so I couldn’t confirm nor deny it. All I know is that it survived long enough for me to make this video haha 😅
