How To UPGRADE SPLATRBALL GEL BLASTER TO METAL GEARS & Stronger Spring PART 1 | Splat-R-Ball SRB400

[@D3MON2smooth]

Am I still able to put metal gears and a 11.1 volt battery

[@tacocat5901]

I was thinking of adding a ASG Airsoft 35k short type motor in my srb400. It looks like the Splatrball guns use Airsoft short type motors so do you think this motor would work as an upgrade?

[@engineerable]

Yep, it's just a short D shaft airsoft motor. Not sure if the plastic gears will handle the upgraded motor though...

[@tacocat5901]

@@engineerable Thanks, wanted to know that before I buy the parts. Also, I was planning on using all of the metal parts you use in the video so the gun should work fine(:

[@MrPlumloko]

Anything to do to keep the balls from coming out when point the gun downward? And what's the difference in the 400 and the 400s?

[@engineerable]

If the balls roll out, then they have not grown large enough. Let them soak longer.

[@MrPlumloko]

@@engineerable I thought that too but they been soaking for a good 4 days. Do you not have that problem? If you shoot 1 round then point the gun down the ball rolls out.

[@engineerable]

@@MrPlumloko No, they don't roll out when the right size. It could have to do with the type of water (hard?) where it doesn't absorb enough water.

I’m not sure if your still answering but… when I popped the plastic where the gears are the shims came off and I need to know how many goes on each one. And the piston head do I have to cut that one part off seems like it fits I didn’t put it fully back on tho. I’m also trying to find a better motor that will increase the speed and hit harder if you know one please tell me. You said that metal rail likes to bend where can I find one that’s sturdier?

[@engineerable]

Watch the video to see where the shims go. I also have another video that's just a teardown and reassembly. Better motor will require metal gears. Faster motor that can take higher voltage increases the rate of fire. A motor with more torque can compress a stronger spring for higher FPS. TBH, at that point, buy a better blaster in the $150+ range that is already upgraded, and can be more easily upgraded further.
