Bruh that is so cheap for a crazy build! You can build 5 of these before you even start getting close to a Strife X price 😮. Great video!

[@100Servings]

I need to look at doing some of this to my ECS-10. The camera and microphone work, but the motors don't spin up. I'd love to just get it working so I could take it to some blaster battles.

[@Matt-md5yt]

I always loved that shell

[@100Servings]

@@Matt-md5yt It's in my top five of shells. The best ever though has to be the Deltaburst. That thing is stupid comfortable and looks like something out of Mass Effect. The carbon fiber texture on the stock is great, and the screen really makes it look next generation. Can't recommend it enough.

[@notnuffnerf]

I actually love the Modulus ECS-10. I’ll be doing something similar with that platform soon!

[@audiobrainiac]

Most excellent video! What a cost effective, efficient Stryfe build. I wish I knew more about lithium ion batteries. Any chance you can do a li-ion battery build tutorial, at least for this pack? Not having to use volatile lipo batteries is kinda the dream.

[@notnuffnerf]

I did do this video a while back, and while it focuses on 18650 cells, the principle applies to all lithium batteries in general: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXWgmV4dpiNqposi=reto3KTDEYmwtHQn

[@dormroomxnostalgia378]

Best cage and flywheel combo for a stryfe, rapidstrike, fortnite smg!! I have this in a couple of blaster on both 2 and 3s both full auto and semi. Can’t go wrong with it🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@bentwalls736]

Dude, Sweet! Thanks for thinking of our wallets… and also our dart condition! I wish we could all just get together and decide to call them Lion or Leon batteries. (Lee-ion always kinda makes me cringe) ...anyway, happy foam flinging, fam!

[@notnuffnerf]

Dart condition is slightly saved by the smooth flywheels, but this kind of power will shorten any dart’s life 😅

[@bentwalls736]

@@notnuffnerf For sure.

[@dancarthen3634]

So dope! and for cheap!

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

Not Nuff Great video as always. Love the Sonic Ice Hail-Fire magazine. Keep up the great work.

[@techcenter9191]

Bruh that’s not a Nerf blaster. That’s a laser cannon 😮

[@100Servings]

"That's no moon..."

[@TrevorBelmont1462]

You should definitely do a video showing us how to build that battery pack and how to charge it 👍🏻😎😊

[@trash2treazures]

In before some voltage “professional” chimes in talking about why your blaster “won’t last forever” or is not “optimally built” because it says so on some piece of paper or internet article somewhere 😂. Keep doing what you’re doing bro. Loving the educational , experimental, but best of all entertaining content!

[@Matt-md5yt]

Yes, do much

[@bentwalls736]

He’s at the bottom. 😆

[@skeemeastwood9075]

So 4s with 3s motors equals about 20-30fps improvement. Freaken sweet. Now i gotta see what 3s does to my 2s revamps. Nice video man, thank you.

[@notnuffnerf]

Nice! Let me know what you find out!

[@joehall8394]

Love this build

[@GruelingFive8]

Is there a video you've done or would recommend so that we can make our own Li-ion batteries the way you have? I do have Li-Po's I use for airsoft but would be nice to learn this. On that note, do you feel an 11.1v Li-Po or maybe a 7.4v would be suitable for this build?

[@notnuffnerf]

I sure have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXWgmV4dpiNqposi=reto3KTDEYmwtHQn 2S and 3S power supplies would absolutely work with this build. In fact I’m in the process of doing a comparison video for those power levels.

[@GruelingFive8]

@@notnuffnerf Ahh thanks a ton! This will be really helpful

[@sataki82]

Holy moly!!! That is insane. Cheap an effectiv! Now i have to learn ti do electric work an rewirering. :)

[@podglewis]

Recently thrifted a stryfe that isn't reving. Might as well copy this build since I gotta open it up anyway. LETS GET IT!!

[@juandoan2898]

I had no idea you could buy Nerf blasters at Thrift stores and re-furbish them. Pretty cool!

[@williamperry9760]

I would love to see a video like this but with commissions. Basic of what you need to get started.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Glad you did this challenge series my dude

[@Jedimjr25]

Let’s see the budget mod of hyperfire conveyor belt pusher type blaster!

[@notnuffnerf]

Crazy you mention that because I’ve been wanting to mod one of those for a god while now!

[@Jedimjr25]

@@notnuffnerf two blasters I’ve been wanting to mod: my cs50 and my infinus. Baby steps first. I’m learning via your vids.

[@brokin_official]

first. thats insane

[@adjitridika9157]

Hold on, 4s? 4 imr batteries? 4x3,7 volt?

[@pickboy77]

Worker Smooth wheels are some of the best bang for the buck. I’ve built countless Stryfes with that cage and flywheels. You should try running it on 3s though, you may actually get a little more fps. I’ve used those cages and wheels with Meishels and Valkyries running on their rated voltages and gotten even a little more performance than you did on 3s. They usually hit consistently in the mid to upper 150’s. With full length darts, the ideal rpm is around 33,000-37,000. After you get above that it can actually be counterproductive, causing more dart slippage and less energy transfer to the dart. Valkyries are rated at 35,000 rpm, so you are well above that 37,000 on 4s. Just a little tip 👍🏻

[@notnuffnerf]

Great points, thank you for sharing! And yes I’m in love with these wheels! I’ve recently become fond of the Worker basic 130s as well. They seem very efficient even on 2S! You should check them out when you have a chance!

[@pickboy77]

@@notnuffnerfI admittedly haven’t used the Worker motors. My fav motors are Fang RV’s. They are beasts. I have them in most all of my builds🤣. I do use the Valkyries and Meishels as budget builds when someone wants an inexpensive blaster. Curious to see what you got fps wise with a 3s. I’m guessing you probably crossed 160 fps on some shots with chili darts.

[@notnuffnerf]

@pickboy77 I actually need to get the higher crush for 4S b cause as someone pointed out, 4S creates slippage at lower crush levels. 3S is definitely more efficient with the 425 cages!

[@danielsanchis82]

Are the valkyrie better motors than fang revamped? With same configuration (cage, flywheels, voltage...) fangs only hace 120fps

[@notnuffnerf]

They might have a higher RPM rating which is why they spin faster at higher voltages.

[@germy19]

These mods help

[@Somechilldiude]

Can you use the omnia battery in this build or would it be too underpowered?

[@notnuffnerf]

It’s a 7.4v Lithium Ion cell. Pretty decent power for about 110-120fps.

[@JuicyMang0]

Im late but do you know what kind of screwdriver I need to take apart my stryfe the ones I have are too thick to get some of the screws

[@notnuffnerf]

Hi there, try using a eyeglass or electronics screwdriver set. Those did have the 0 or 00 which is the size you need!

[@Jedimjr25]

I would love to see a mod to the pusher to allow short darts via DZ Nexus adapter rather than the worker one and having to buy a new pusher arm. Also, this cheap worker cage/wheels can allow any old Nerf brand blaster to have high fps right granted semi-auto right?

[@notnuffnerf]

Correct

[@Ichiryu000]

Hello, I would like some to share a MOD that adds a smart air restrictor on/off feature to a blaster. I do not nearly come close to understanding the mechanics. Thank you in advanced.

[@Letsflingfoam]

I’m trying to be sure the cage I order from OOD go with worker smooth flywheels I’m buying from Amazon since they are out of stock at OOD. Is the 425 cage and the 42.5 standard worker cage the same?

[@notnuffnerf]

That is correct! You can also buy from worker direct. Might take a little longer but they always have good sales going on!

[@Letsflingfoam]

@@notnuffnerf thanks so much!

[@Letsflingfoam]

@@notnuffnerf Wow, I can get them for $8 with free shipping though it will probably take over a month to come lol. Even if I pay for shipping it’s cheaper than Amazon! I’m trying to do a 3s mod as cheap as possible so this really helps. For me, your channel is up there with Drac and Walcom, I hope it continues to grow, your definitely on the right track Thanks again

[@notnuffnerf]

Can’t wait to see how this project turns out!

[@Letsflingfoam]

Do you happen to know if the smooth wheels fit in a standard nerf cage? It seems like it doesn’t but I’m still curious. Thanks

[@viceanime7685]

what gauge wire are you using?

[@trash2treazures]

He says it in the video lol

[@legomeaker101potato]

I really like this, though I wish I could buy these pre modded so I don't have to mess around with wiring and all that stuff but still get a really good semi auto compact blaster for a very fair price

[@Andygriff1975]

I guess you could run a DZ Thunderbolt $25. 6 pack of Duracell Lithium run about $18. $43 you would have a competitive package.

[@notnuffnerf]

Didn’t know Duracell made a lithium battery. I need to look that up! I’m actually going to do a full rewire on a Thunderbolt soon. See if I can get the FPS up any higher with the Energizer Lithiums.

[@legomeaker101potato]

@@Andygriff1975 eh, I would rather go for an omnia pro at that point (after four charges I already saved on the cost of the battery replacements)

[@Hobbyist2007]

While this is a nice video, I have concerns surrounding the voltage applied to the motors as well as some questions about this set up. Valkyries are rated for 3s, ideal voltage is 11.1v. A 4s battery is 14.8v, which is more than the ideal voltage. My concern surrounding this mod is the lifespan of the motors with this set. Overvolting a motor will cause damage and reduce lifetime. Now, on to my questions. When firing rapidly with this set up, does your FPS significantly drop with waffle darts? Is building homemade batteries safe? What risks are present when doing so? Do you know of any 4s brushed motors? It is my understanding that brushless motors require additional circuitry to make them work.

[@Jedimjr25]

If he burns the motors, they are really cheap to replace! It does sound like there is voltage sag with firing but again, the build is cheapo!

[@notnuffnerf]

Ratings are a standard. Houses have standards for wind-proving and fire-proving (to name a few), but their limits exceed these standards as a safety threshold. I’m up to about 720 rounds fired now, and the motors still sound as they did when I unboxed them. I’m not telling everybody to do this. This is just something that worked for me, was very economic, and I wanted to share, that’s all! I’m sure you can opt for 3S instead and performance wouldn’t drop too much either 😃.

[@FontaineDerby]

Second 😂

[@mathewbull3614]

What voltage cells are you running? 4x3.2v is gonna be 12.8v, which probably isn't too big of a deal for motors optimized for 11.1v. If they're 3.7v cells, you're pushing 14.8v on those motors and probably wouldn't want to rely on the blaster long term. You'll take a velocity hit going short dart as well. Not sure the click baity title really works considering the StryfeX is likely built with parts that can run at the voltage and amperage reliably, while also making equal or greater velocities with lighter short darts. That being said, 150fps short dart Stryfes(even properly specd) are easily built. Nobody ever said they weren't. The real argument I guess is if you can build one with new parts, without utilizing stuff you already have, for under $130. That's tough.

[@domnulpuiut732]

If it's not 120 dollars and has 0 attachment points, I do not like it!
