Honest Review: Dart Zone Pro Mk3 (THE FIRST RETAIL COMPETITIVE FLYWHEELER?!?!?!)

[@LordDraconical]

Thanks for much for watching guys! Our mod guide and components on FoamProShop.com really really soon.

[@Goddess_Moros]

You could bring out two sets of mags, one for the chrono and one for the range/target. (Ik sometimes blasters come with only one mag, but otherwise.)

[@shawnthehondaguy2617]

What was the exact lipo from your shop do you recommend?

[@ishootfoam992]

great review! just wondering, what's the geometry of the battery tray? thanks :D

The emotional whiplash from going from "Glock Power" to the MK3 in insane. It's so cool to see DZ really listen to the modding community, and I'm more than happy to continue to support them while they do.

[@kingpin7666]

I’m just gonna say what Drac won’t……… this is the blaster of the year. Dart Zone has done again. They’ve raised the bar so high that it makes nerf look comical and lazy. I will be buying this blaster and a new Lipo to go with it.

[@mechanical_eyes127]

Nerf essentially *is* comical and lazy they bring us Elite 2.0 while we had the Pro Mk.1 and they gave us bigger rounds when we have this (don't get me wrong, the new ammo is awesome)

As an adult foam-flinger who has way too much on his plate to mod blasters like I used to, I sincerely appreciate what Dart Zone is doing. The Mk3 brings the heat and looks AMAZING!

[@Godsire69]

Oh cant wait to see your mods on this one. This blaster may just convert me to lipo.

[@mrsoisauce9017]

I honestly think Dart Zone should have done 1 of 3 things: 1. Gave u a free lipo battery in the box 2. If that’s too expensive, have a Dart Zone branded one with very good performance so when they buy it, uneducated nerfers don’t feel like they’re buying from a sketchy website 3. If they can’t do that, leave a recommendation on their website for their personally recommended lipo batteries Small complaints for an incredible blaster, but just some things 2 note

[@Crunkboy415]

@@mrsoisauce9017 Lipos are expensive and too dangerous without a proper protective case. No way will Dart Zone ship dozens of boxes with potentially explosive materials overseas.

[@mrsoisauce9017]

[@rongarrison4715]

I remember how excited I was when I first heard about the nexus pro. Now dart zone delivers the mk lol. I'm 45yo and I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a toy. I feel like a kid. Money might be tight for me but rest assured I'm going to end up with one in my hands on way or another.

[@icepop77]

Drac needs red and black satin curtains.

[@MrJeepinZeke]

I’m just impressed with their turnaround. It can take a couple years to develop, make, and distribute a product overseas. I feel like the original Pro just came out not long ago.

[@metalstormarms]

I love how the closed captioning labels the revving as either "music" or "applause" :)

[@nerdtvch5]

Just a heads up, I work in a lab, the eyewear Hasbro and Playtime Toys have included are both standard eyewear I'm the work force And I like how in all the reviews I've seen so far, you've each figured out solutions to problems. You guys are all the best.

[@GameKnight07]

Let's go!!! Finally, thanks drac. I just want to say that your vids are so good. DZP- MK 3

[@gregkissner]

One of the tastiest fruits of your EndWar labor. Wow man, when you revealed the XT60 my jaw dropped. Truly an example of the value of what you did, bringing large manufacturers and hobbyists together. Bravo! Ordering one of these ASAP

[@firebreathing16]

I bet they were eager with anticipation to see reactions to the battery connector! It's cool to see how much they want to work with the community, and that's such a nice touch. I will say, though, I'm surprised there wasn't a larger gap in the speed from the alkalines and the lipo. The sound was higher, sure, and they trended faster, but I'd been expecting a larger gulf.

[@GameKnight07]

Drac in addition to the lipo on Foam pro shop you should sell some thumb screws with it so you don't need a screw driver

[@marcosfernandez5918]

The Stryker is nothing but amazing so I cannot wait to see the possibilities with this.

[@hawkeyesniper45]

We a praise dart zone, but the work theyre doing is so fan oriented. They actually care about our hobby and to see them pump out these nonstop game changers is awesome, especially in a time where nerf is really lacking

[@sheriff4amstan]

The full length mag just looks really good, its the perfect curve and i want like 12

[@sirifjfjdjsjdufjdjdjdcjcjd3157]

Half length darts are more practical

[@sheriff4amstan]

@@sirifjfjdjsjdufjdjdjdcjcjd3157 i dont care, i understand they are strictly better in every way. But part of the fun of nerf for me is the gear and looks of everything and the different ammo types. I use mega mags for the fun of it, its just a game for me. Same reason why in video games i still use what i want, and not the meta

[@DemonWolf001]

I'm so glad you said that front "grip' reminded you of a skull. I immediately saw the red dot scope as a pirate hat and I would love if someone painted the blaster in the style of captain Harlock

[@SaltyTheKnife]

I am getting one just cause that battery tray alone. I don't need this by any means but i got to support this design philosophy.

[@pv8685]

Thumbs up - this time for the blaster and the awesome review! 😁 Greetings from Germany. Drac you really got me into the hobby! Your passion is outstanding!

[@eleventhoperator]

Stopped watching your channel a year or two ago because I sort of dropped out of Nerf for other hobbies, but I’m so glad I got back into it when I did! The current state of the community has me a bit torn (with Hasbro continuing their decline, but other brands doing so well), but I’m glad to see the peeps themselves thriving. Always been my fave dart-related YTer, Drac!

[@davidt3563]

Wow this is an amazing entry! I can't believe it can take a lipo right out of the box. It's awesome to see this type of thoughtful design from DartZone!

[@thanatos_echo.]

Tachi 29 round extended, 3s lipo, and some stock and barrel mods, better flywheel motor, and you got a OP SMG

[@TheBigGSN5]

The kids used to call this roflstomping the competition.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

Nice! I was expecting this thing to be closer to $200, but it doesn’t appear that way, very nice. I like the look of this thing too. Makes me wonder what’s next in line for this brand. Perhaps DZ sometime can do their own take on the Spring Thunder shell ejecting blaster or generally similar functionality. I’d be interested to see what kinda aesthetic they’d give it.

[@Smurfkiller88]

And I just bought this directly from Dart Zone on sale for $39.99. Cant beat that.

[@martins_alternate_universe6783]

I hope it's compatible with the Worker 22 dart mags, and the 50 dart drum that came with the Nerf Titan CS-50.

[@butterknife_mtb_rc]

It better be compatible with drum mags

[@timothycampbell495]

It will certainly be compatible with 22s. As for drums, we won't know until someone actually tries to insert one. The issue with Hasbro drums (and Hasbro 18s for that matter) will be whether or not the MK3 mag well has room to clear the "bar" or hump on the back side of those mags.

[@butterknife_mtb_rc]

@@timothycampbell495 I’m currently watching every video on the dzpmk3 that I can and OOD says they work with at least the 25s. Thanks tho

[@GrimzNerfWorks]

Really digging the looks on this one, lets just hope it has the performance, and quality to back that up. If it does, then I may just have to make one into a primary.

[@anuragneelam8527]

Im pretty sure its like a stryfe, but pre modified, with a controller switch for semi and full auto, with a working red dart, and with half length and full length darts. Oh also, it can quickly have a lipo battery placed within it

[@ryanart7241]

Wife: that Walcom guy and now drac? How many videos are you gonna watch about this blaster…? Me: Why, are there more?

[@danielqiu7812]

Are you sure that the dart product line is what's causing the performance difference, and not dart wear? Were the other half lengths you tested brand new as well? Dart condition could also be causing the outliers you're seeing in the ~120s.

[@carrotbiit9766]

normal people: glasses drac: ocular enhancers

[@armodz938]

I’m totally getting one of these I’ve been planning to since the teaser trailer! Even tho I mod a lot of flywheel guns I don’t think I’ll be able to do select fire mods any time soon

[@Makotosaber]

Now dart zone should make an affordable flywheel blaster with 6 AAA battery tray that connects with an xt60 connector at $25-$30 price range.

[@Olaboy808]

Came in here to see different models for a bit of friendly family rivalry. Noticed the green crystal. You sir, have a very nice taste in watches. I have the Z-Blue Milgauss myself.

Lol the months of learning and educating oneself on modding and now we can get this stock! Awesome! This is great for evening the playing field for those that don't mod.

[@hoothoot7122]

Dart zone literally listened and became the best

[@ZakLeek]

I think it's so cool that that there is a blaster that already hits 150fps on AA alkaline batteries! It's really ingenious to have a manual pusher and electronic pusher mechanism in the same blaster too. I can't wait to see what cool upgrades you make, thanks so much for the review Drac! P.S. You should attach popper buttons to the bottom of your new curtains and make a special bucket so that it can transform into a dart catcher for testing. ♥🖤

[@tROCKxBitE]

I actually like the muzzle/front end! It goes with the blaster as a whole! Maybe a nice paint job or hydro dip. But that thing looks cool!

[@Hayden120]

You note that your darts are pulling right - is that a defect with this particular blaster, or is it intrinsic to the design of the flywheels?

[@efbiaj]

Rely like how it looks. I hope they start shipping to europe soon.

[@wesleyvinal9801]

I’ll ship to Europe sale it on eBay

[@firetroop2775]

I'm getting this for an early birthday present I'm really excited

[@NANA-fo5cr]

In my opinion the real best feature of this blaster isn’t so much the performance but the power source. To be able to get mod level performance off of double A’s is a game changer.

I'm curious if the bamboo darts getting better performance is a fluke, or if the divots in the foam are what's doing it, increases surface area for the flywheels to bite.

i would love to add a new battery, better power on the wheels, make it talk and add triple laser on the orange barrel so when i pull the trigger you see a triangle on the target which should tell you where your shooting.

[@eddievargas7272]

What is the 8AA battery that the dart zone pro mk3 uses compatible with on Lipo with out damage to my dart zone mk3 please help thanks

[@m00k61]

Sooo stoked to get one.

[@justinhaymond969]

When dart zone makes blasters so good you have to tune them down to be legal in hvz

[@devind4781]

Sooo.. not knowing a lot about electronics, and batteries in general: if I wanted a lower fps for like hvz reasons, could I put a few dummy AAs in the tray, or would that cause an issue?

[@ragonkeeper]

Should work as long as you dont replace to many. but reducing the voltage to the pusher will make it have a slower or delayed shot.

[@albertosara416]

designed to be able to change the battery tray for a lipo just by removing 1 screw dart zone is truly something else right now

[@TeflonDave]

Not a dramatic performance increase with LiPo. Think it can handle a 4s? Obviously a big ∆ in current, but not an overwhelming jump in voltage, right? 8 x 1.2 rechargable AA's is greater than a 2s and 8 x 1.5 alkalines is greater than even a 3s below ~75% or so?

[@jeffananario8688]

I want to know if the lypo battery can connect to the splat r blaster

[@DBZSeanzie]

Are the rechargeable double A’s just no good for blasters? Do they lack the punch of regular batteries or what?

[@mrsoisauce9017]

1:06 how fitting!

[@Biggoboybales]

Ok well this isn't related to the blaster, but I just found a Crimson Red Adjustable stock and can't find any information about it, all I know is the crimson stuff is rare, any help as to what it originally came with?
