Some (me) might argue that still twisting that regulator but instead or soldering new motors, installing 3 trustfires and a dummy battery would be an easier mod, it's what I initially did and it worked fine. (4 trustfires would slow the motors after a few 18 round mags went through it but not with the Ravenfire but i still only use 3 trustfires and a dummy in both) Later, I installed the single, triple and full auto selector and it's awesome! Great mod video, it would be nice at some point though to install new motors if not a new cage, new wires and a host of other mods. =P

Jim Valko it’s not necessary low voltage you’re looking for, it’s current draw. There are motors that take only half the voltage of honey badgers but spin 3 times faster, but they take forever to get up to that speed. What you’re looking for is a motor that doesn’t draw so much current that the batteries don’t have enough power to get them spinning. Hope this helps, feel free to ask if you have any more questions

Also, would it be safe to run the Honey Badgers off Eneloop rechargeable NiMh AAs or could the draw from the Honey Badgers damage the Eneloops? Thank you again for the excellent content and have a great day! =)

Also if I made a mistake by removing the plastic/rubber piece in front of the flywheel cage that slows darts down before they hit the wheels. Because I'm looking for effective and cheap ways to improve my stryfe. I also barely modified mine,and it sounds much louder than normal.
@CaptainXavier
@CaptainXavier 3 жыл бұрын
The sad truth is there are no "cheap and effective" mods. You have to pick one or the other. If it is cheap it will not be effective. If it is effective it will not be cheap. The plastic flap you removed is not necessary. It does not exist to slow the dart, it exists to keep the dart centered. The Thermistor removal only matters if you upgrade the motors. Otherwise it is pretty much pointless.

Technically a thermistor is a resistor which decreases in resistance when it is hotter. This wouldn't cause the effect that the component in the Stryfe does. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the component is technically a thermistor, unless it is a special type which I have never heard of.

I always seem to find your most useful videos long after they've come out. This one has been a huge help and I'll be doing something similar with a Rayvenfire. I wanted to ask though: will the stock wiring and switches survive this? I understand that while Honey Badgers are still lower-current motors, that they draw notably more current than the stock motors do, and supposedly stock switches do not handle much current at all. Would Honey Badgers draw more current than what the switches can handle? Can AAs even output that much current to begin with?

The hop up tab is right near the end of the barrel, check and make sure it is in straight. If that is not the issue then odds are one of your wheels is either misaligned or one of your motors is spinning at a different speed. The wheels you can realign. The motor...not so much

With the added motor of a selectfire kit, you will never get decent performance on AAs. You need to at least move up to IFRs (I recommend Coolooks from OutofDarts) but in all reality, it will cost more in time and money than just making the jump to LiPo. It is a bit scary, and there is a bit of an upfront cost, but it is WELL worth it in the long run.

Iron no, but removing all the boards and resistors certainly will. Kinda like straight piping a car. You can get an og n strike green rayven to hit 75 fps with stock motors on as batteries just by stripping out all the stock wiring and using thicker wire

How well would two MTB Honeybadgers run off of two Coolook batteries with two dummy batteries? I'm currently using a stryfe with 2 honeybadgers and consumer grade NiMH cells with the stock battery tray. Would there be any performance boost from using coolooks instead of NiMH cells?

I tried this same honeybadger mod/upgrade on the Star Wars Andor/Jyn Erso blaster, but I'm only getting Nerf standard performance of 70-75fps. Still much better than the stock average of 50fps, but I'm not sure why I'm not getting the 90fps performance on AAs.

@Teku66 probably a combination of the two. Different motors, wheels, cage. Lots of little things adding up.

Would this mod work with new cage and flywheels or would that bring down the fps?
@CaptainXavier
@CaptainXavier Жыл бұрын
It would depend on the cage and wheels. Honey Badgers are fairly low torque (thus the ability to run on low current batteries) so heavy wheels or high crush wheels/cages would lower the FPS. However, standard crush cages and wheels would be fine and would improve the performance.

i really want to do a mod like this, but those motors sound really unhealthy. do they just sound strained, or are they actually damaging themselves? is there a danger to dissabling the electronic lock with modded motors?

They are definitely strained. And yes, disabling the locks makes it easier to jam the blaster if you are not careful.

Hi Xavier, For a little while I've been getting tired of the non collapsible and bluky stocks for the stryfe so I wanted to throw a Rapidstrike stock on a stryfe but I don't know how. Any ideas?
@CaptainXavier
@CaptainXavier 3 жыл бұрын
Not really. That sounds like a beast of an integration. But the goal would be to cut the stock off the Rapid stock and figure out how to add a stock socket. I don't know how well that will collapse. The stock usually collapses well into the shell of the Rapidstrike. I don't if that will be possible with the Stryfe.
