Honest Review: “Micro” Flywheels

[@H3zzard]

Drac: Science! Neighbour: Trimming! Flywheel cage: Melting!

[@jpz3045]

H3zzard hotel: trivago

[@christianjacob1158]

I appreciate the scientific approach to this, since not every nerfer has a platform to widely distribute data, or the ability to (afford) test everything the market has. As someone who is a big believer in sharing knowledge when its found, I approve of this kind of video, even if i dont personaly use a flywheel blaster. keep up the good work drac!

[@sergeantsriracha8295]

I’m sorry Drac but none of these plushies will ever replace Hooty the Owl

[@Spamman4587]

Hooty is still around...He hangs out with my Archimedes every so often

[@KeldonRaven]

Well I for one thank you for taking the time and effort for a genuine comparison. Data based testing is much more interesting for me as data gives a much better understanding of what's actually working and why

[@Shadowsword12]

PLease remake the Hellsing guns. They would be SOOO much better now with those wheels.

[@slendertale1186]

Micro flywheels for micro sandwich launching!

[@emilyglaeser6856]

I want to play with the plushie.... I see it... plus I learned so much from this video 😂

[@emilyglaeser6856]

Hahahaha I meant the octopus 🐙😂

[@whatstdiggn]

Could you put holes in the side of micro howlers shapes like indents in the rival/ worker wheels. Also if possible tune them to Eminor. That is the key spookey sounsing music is played/written in. I know thats a scale but pick a few notes and make three differwnt sizwd holws if you can get them to balance propply. Im unsure if that is possible.

[@BrendanSauer]

I'm leaving a comment to help the channel, but since I'm writing, I guess I'd leave you my two sense. I think that you can do a better job with your production. Maybe try not using auto focus because its terrible for the function of trying to read the chronograph readings. I've been watching for a long time and I think that you can do much better with the presentation of your content. Channels do this way too much where they film a segment, something goes wrong, and then they just leave some comment using text on the video explaining what went wrong and I really just think its lazy. If you screw up, just refilm the segment. Also, I'm not entirely sure that it was a fair showing of the wheels using your fingers as a pusher. There is no reason why you would ever do that practically, so it seems odd to enact it here. And remember that you don't have to do everything in just one take. All that being said, I'm glad you are continuing to create content about the mod potential out there and I hope you keep making science content. Just trying to offer some constructive criticism. Good work.

[@blackrat9177]

Well they say its not the size but the way you use it

[@Orax1701]

From an educational perspective I feel I should inform you that 0.1 is one tenth not one hundredth.

[@96joe]

Awesome. these videos kick ass because the testing and showing what each can do is great. great video.

[@alchemt6230]

I never ge tired of these videos

[@hyperjohn6627]

Drac: It's fine. Everything is fine. Neighbor: Stupid Nerf darts! But seriously thank you drac for this, I may get into micro flywheels myself now! Also, are Adventure force dart fps/performance on par with accufakes?

[@Stryker5260]

Just built a Pigeon with the Moonlights, pretty happy with them except I had them back off the motor shafts a bit after a good amount of shots. Probably due to the centering bevels reducing motor shaft contact. Flipped them over and will see if it improves. Also, the slightly higher crush may be rougher on darts, quite a few Sweet Orange darts have been decapitated while testing my Pigeon. Probably just the nature of the system though. EDIT: Just finished running 121 rounds through my Pigeon with the flywheels flipped over, wheels aren't backing off yet. If you use Moonlight wheels for a Pigeon, definitely have the bevels on top for maximum motor shaft grip.

[@itchyprince3793]

Stryker5260 I think you had them on upside down in the first place, don’t quote me on that but from the way it sounds you put them on upside down.

[@Stryker5260]

@@itchyprince3793 I don't think I did, I initially installed them with the shaft centering bevels facing the motors (how they're meant to be), but I do have them installed upside down now with the bevels facing away from the motors. This way, a little bit more flywheel is gripping the motor shaft.

[@itchyprince3793]

Which ever way they are, at least they work!

[@lenoob2800]

Much love, nerf on...the best phrase anyone can hear

[@AdditionalDavid]

Great information! Thanks for summarizing your findings for the camera!

[@TPColgett]

Thank you thank you thank you, I have both of these sitting on my desk and something to put them in and I didn't know which way to go this gives me the data to make my decision!

[@Fusako8]

Drac, do you know if anyone has added ventilation to the Honeybadgers? I'm likely to be doing that and adding some active cooling soon to see if I can't make them into viable 2nd stage wheels.

[@noodleagain]

Still waiting for that boom nitron drac 👀

[@alchemt6230]

This is a turning point in the hobby

[@darcyc9311]

Great, cool, interesting engineering content, love it

[@homelee665]

I realize with your timeline of shooting, editing, and uploading of videos some things might be missed before a video goes public. I just have one question relating to the content of this video, what is your stance since Heath released the comment that he fully supports and endorses the FTW wheels. Since he and FTW pretty much created this platform, does that have any sway to statements made in this video? Don't mean to put you on the spot, just curious.

[@LordDraconical]

I filmed this one about a week ago before I left. Ive read MHPs post and I can appreciate that perspective. Heaths a master and I definitely respect his work and opinion. I stand by drawing no conclusion though. Rising tide raises all boats and this channel doesn’t go out of it’s way to cut down others. Hope thats a fair answer if not the one you wanted. As always, thank you for watching.

[@homelee665]

That is a very fair answer. I thought that having the Moonlight wheels on the market would be good for everyone, as you stated. I hope both are able to stay on the market going forward, and they help to make more crazy builds feasible. Well said, sir.

[@Bloodwulf274]

much love drac even if youtube is hating you keep bringing the quality content

Need to do a mod to make a alphaahawk with dark blue/white hydrodip background. makes it look super cool. Make the blaster much more powerfull, call it Maverick

[@richardmetellus2336]

what cage did he use?

[@brianmarshall6733]

Thanks for the great video. I’ve been following FTW with interest and was glad to see your tests. I haven’t found much on thingiverse, where are people getting cage files from?

[@flywheeltheworld6998]

We have cage files for the Recon and a plain developers cage for blaster designers on our thingiverse page...

[@jumbopancakenerf6804]

@@LordDraconical Agreed! The worst ones are "How do u modd the blasterz" on a mod guide. That and "First!" which is ridiculous because it just swamps the comments and obviously the video creator is first. I will admit i have posted a worthless comment before once, and someone chewed me out for it and it made me rethink. Putting that out there so as to not be a hypocrite😁 Looking forward to meeting you on the 18th!

[@benjaminmacdonald593]

LordDraconical I skip over the big parts because there is so much information and talking that doesn’t go over the motors. I love reviews that have a quick pace and get to the FPS testing and then give averages and talk about the specs and then get on to opinion. I guess I assumed that you didn’t put in that information because you haven’t in the past. Sorry for the inconvenience :P
