Nerf Vulcan 500 RPM Modification

[@ColdWarShot]

KingCorny93 MG42* it fired at 1200 on average. It could be lowed to 900 or raised to 1500 depending on what the weight of the bolt was that was being used in the gun at the time... some times crew would carry several bolts of different weights for different applications

[@PurusRutrum]

After increasing the firing rate the motor heats up after many shots. solution: fire in bursts and allow for cooldown....anyone else being reminded of actual gun physics the more you mod these toys?

[@logvoid1559]

I cut a small 40mm hole next to the motors and mounted a 40mm fan for cooling

For the record, parallel Voltage sources don't cut the voltage in half, it would still be the 9.6V going to the motor; however, it can deliver a higher current when in parallel / will las longer than 1 battery pack.

yes, you will have half the total voltage of the batteries you are using. If i was unclear on that i apologize . I intended to express that if you hook two 9.6 volts up in parallel you will only get an output of 9.6 volts vs in series you will have 19.2 volts. I hope this help you or anyone else out who had doubts.

[@thedeadlego59]

2 things that would help you, 1. Depending on the size of the motor you can get a cooling fan for it and attach to the out side of the body and just cut a hole in the body by the motor. 2. take the spacers in the batter pack out, it comes apart easily, and hook you batteries up to it, would make it a little better and I think a lot more fun during nerf wars

The best way to not heat up your motor as much is to take it apart even more and hook up fans to where the motor would be. One fan on one side sucking in air and another fan on the other side to blow out air. Very good way to mod your nerf gun!

[@TuxedoRonny]

I suppose in the modding process to remove built in air restriction, one could easily include a small fan to cool the motor down when the trigger is pressed? Allowing for larger belts.

[@Lunas2525]

No in parallel you would still have 9.6v but you would double the capacity and amperage that can be delivered. In series voltage is added together but current remains the same as 1 pack. To the people who think a 9v battery like you find in your smoke detector would be good they deliver 150mA at best a d battery can do 500mA rechargeable nimh and lithium batteries do about 1500mA and lithium batteries like you use for helicopters can do 10,000mA-50,000mA. When your gun jams and the motors stop the current they draw jumps up typically around 10,000mA. Also voltage = rpm and amperage= torque with dc motors.

[@Magmafrost13]

You're putting just over twice the intended voltage into that thing! Isn't there a risk of outright frying the motors?

[@ItsWAWGaming]

Not if you drill cooling holes near the motor like on a real machine gun. It will blow off excess heat and for good measure add a fan if you want.

[@CaptainRedbeard89]

Ladys and gentlemen the nerf mg34

[@GremlinSciences]

car batteries actually only run around 12 volts, they just have high durability and rarely explode from being over-charged. I'm sure if you really searched around you could find a 24 volt battery for like a boat or a camper but those are around 2 or 3 times the size of a car battery and are quite expensive. Just connect a third battery pack and you get 28.8 volts from around the same size and weight as the original tray with lightweight batteries

it would be so badass to modify the gun so the motors have a quick detach system so you can carry an extra motor and when the other one heats up swap it and switch

[@SteelFyire]

Clearly the next step is to devise some sort of cooling system for the gun to overcome the heat issue.

[@FieryKitsune1]

Depends on the voltage, but my guess is that it will last a long time.

[@845MX5]

@hello26580 You mean 19.2v. Both the batteries are 9.6 volts. I dont know much about electronics but id say you are right about this setup burning up the motor.

[@kermitclassified]

I have never seen a vulcan with a solid grey grip before!

[@dfkbnxytxk]

put a fan on it if you put a 50 dart chain

[@xmdrifter]

@Coyo1233 a car battery is 12 volts. the vulcan can take 24 volts provided you upgrade the motor or provide cooling airflow to the stock motor.

[@Onioncake]

When your crush says she hates nerf: It's nerf or nothin'

[@ACrazySpider]

@Coyo1233 Im sorry but you are wrong sir. First of all a car battery is not huge on voltage unless you are talking bout a battery for an electric car thats a different story. Car batteries are essentially the same as an other battery with the same voltage they just last allot longer. And this will not melt your gun unless your run it constantly for more than a couple of minutes. If you knew how an electric motor works you would understand what i am saying. Feel free to look it up.

[@HGDfan]

Try to make a coolent mod? or possibly change out the motor's plastic parts to metal.

[@cooldude20115]

For making it absolutely plum crazy rate of fire, use a 6 cell lipo 22.2v battery. Those are designed for some of the most powerful rc cars, some capable of going past 100mph (160kph) so it should make the rate of fire on a vulcan even higher.

[@ACrazySpider]

cooldude20115 This will instantly fry the motor, it would be cool if it could do that but the motor cant handle it.

[@cooldude20115]

A Crazy Spider i know it would, so installing a higher-voltage rated motor would fix that problem.

[@unscriptedf8582]

"She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds."

[@cab4]

Yes, running the motor for too long like that will melt the motor winding insulation, and it would be impossible to repair without finding a new motor. I'd be curious to see how long that gun could last shooting at that rate, but its probably not worth the headache to test it.

[@eugin412]

i like elite nerf guns and my cousin has a lot of nerf guns and we playing nerf wars when i met him and some other friends of our neighboorhood soo i love nerf guns and i like your modifasion i will tell it to him ,when i see him,thnks and great video eugin.

[@H3xx99]

Wiring in parallel will not cut the voltage in half, it will double the battery life. you'll still have 9.6v, but both batteries will only be working half as hard, and therefore last twice as long. I used this principle with my minty boost. instead of two AA batteries in series, I used two sets of two batteries in parallel. double charging life, still 5.5 volts to my phone.

[@KandantGames]

Nice editing at the end.

[@callmelawrence9546]

[@Dallascowdery]

am i allowed to hook a lawn mower battery to it because my friend did and it still works perfectly fine

[@GingerNingerGames]

Could always find a higher volt motor of the same physical size and a higher torque rating. That'd solve the over heating problem, either that, another way would be to change the gearing, or to mount heatsinks on the motor and whatever else needs it, a long with cutting vents into the body, and if absolutly nessisary putting fans on it

[@xXHomerSimpsonXx]

@PowderMonkeyMan911 or three?

[@superjacobbice]

Wow those are dangerous batterys. Every overcharged one? It shoots flames.

[@ACrazySpider]

it will fire at the same rate. Just make sure to charge the battery because it will loose charge faster than 6 D batteries

[@ACrazySpider]

The stampede has a safety system built into it so that when the the trigger is pulled the bolt of the blaster will cycle completely to avoid jams and keep the blaster operation well. The problem is when you hook up batteries to a stampede if the voltage is to high the motor will start and run but the momentum of the bolt keeps moving when it should stop then due to the safety it will keep cycling. There is no fix for this other than a lover voltage. If you find a fix great, i don't know one

[@AceOfBlackjack]

Holy smokes the history lesson! Old KZbin needs more curation!

[@xXBullets78]

I have 2 Traxxas 7.2v 1200mah Batteries and I run them in series, I get around 330 rounds per second opposed to the 500rps I get with 19.2V, will my gun last a significant amount of time longer or will I still overheat if used with a 50 round belt?

[@ACrazySpider]

+xXBullets78 Well it all come down to how much you use the motor, I think if you are running at about 300 rounds per minute you would be ok but just to be safe using burst fire should keep the motor safe.

[@bradzamora4424]

This is pretty sweet, I should make a cooling system to go with this mod. Then it would be perfect. Thanks for the tutorial. :)

[@alexfrideres1198]

hooking them up in parallel doubles the voltage, hooking them up in series doubles the capacity

[@GUTSRacing]

I wonder if replacing the motor, and modifying some of the plastic bits with metal bits instead would give you both speed and reliability. If anyone has a link to that being done, i'd like to know.

[@greencommander7222]

you dont understand you have`nt modified the vulcan you just linked it up with a few baattery packs

[@tastytasters]

I think he meant half of the total voltage from both batteries. Essentially hooking them in parallel won't decrease voltage but it won't get you any more voltage either

@PowderMonkeyMan911 I think you think that a car battery is more powerful than they actually are.

[@Bill666king]

oh and one other thing its not so much how many volts your battery has but how high its milli amp out put is as my rc boat ran a 9v battery pack with 1200mha but my heli runs 7.5v with 2500mha and when i loaded them into my boat there was a masive improvement in power and response times

[@GamesRorsome]

The one thing that I have noticed is that the Vulcan seems to feed then fire in two separate actions is this true?

[@sethdamien1]

If you put a small fan inside with heat vents in the shell a 100 dart chain barely heats it up.

[@reterbid6215]

finally, a video i can use to make the whole neighborhood pay

[@JimTheZombieDuck]

@PowderMonkeyMan911 A car battery is only 12 volts, which is less than the two smaller batteries he used. So basically a car battery would be bulkier and not work as well.

[@ACrazySpider]

@KhReKK09 No they are not the highest you can get they are one of the most commonly available. if you plan on doing that you might want to not do this mod because it becomes hard for the gun to pull the chain if it is not held or in the normal holder box. you could give it a shot but i would recommend not going the full 18 volts try 12 or so first. It should still shoot fast but you might have trouble pulling the chain is all.

[@Worriedawesomeness]

no, it combines both batterys amperage but splits the voltage.

[@ACrazySpider]

@DunkingDino No it will not shoot father but if you want you can remove the air restrictors in the chain to do so

[@ACrazySpider]

@TheBloodEagle27 Ya you should be fine, as long as you give the motor some time to cool down you should be fine 10 seconds should be fine i would just caution you if you do fire multiple chains in a row just be sure to give it a solid break every 5-6 chains.

[@ItsWAWGaming]

dude i JUST spray painted my vulcan black and it looks reallly real now but i keept the tip orange cuz of how real it look and i was wondering if you wanted to trade it il add in 2 exra chains if you do want to trade could u include the batteries and the gator clips???

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

So this will bring it up to 18v total, right? Well I have some plans to make a minigun out of a Vulcan, and I want to bring the stock rate of fire up by like twice, but I don't want to kill my motors. So if I were to raise it to 18v would the motor die really fast? I want to shoot like 50 rounds at a time, well kind of burst not continuous, but I want to be able to shoot sustained for a while and shoot really fast. If 18 is not the max, then how fast can I really make it go?

[@ACrazySpider]

+TheTriforceCrusader Two things. 1. Going above 18 volts causes the gears to skip i'm not sure exactly where that begins but when i tried 27 volts the chain would no longer pull. 2. If you want to shoot long chains with the vulcan your best bet is to create a cooling system for the internal electronics. This would allow you to not burn out the motor.

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

A Crazy Spider Mmm, that's not really what I was asking, but thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, I heard a few people telling another modding n00b like me about the Vulcan motors not being the weak link, that it was the gears, but like I said, I have future plans for a Vulcan mini gun. And that's only if I can actually ever find the one metal rod I need to get the barrels to spin, or if I can find a used Vulcan I don't care about to try it. I just wanted some suggestions for future reference. Thanks.

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

***** Hmmm, that's a good idea. I'll have to check it out. Then I could raise the voltage safely. And maybe I could find some polycarbonate or maybe even metal replacement gears on teh internets. Only thing I need now is some way to spin the barrels. I think I have that figured out... For the most part xD

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

***** That presents some problems, such as trying to time it right so that each barrel lines up just right with the firing mechanism so it can fire each shot without a problem. I might even have to wire a separate battery just for that motor to get it to spin the right amount. I was thinking I could attach something to the belt turner that is already on the gun and use its rotation force to spin the barrel so it lines up exactly right each time. All it would take is some measurements for the placement of each barrel.
