    Just to clarify, does Milliamp hours indicate how long it could last in relative way? Now I just need to determine the exact specs of the stryfe battery compartment and I should be able to find a 2S Lipo that fits and runs the honey badger.

    Well I'm bookmarking this one, really well presented! A good chunk of this applies to airsoft (different motors and switches, but the wiring and batteries are the same, and the maths of course) I even learned why 2s/3s lipos are called s when Cell begins with C! Didn't think about series and parallel connections in battery packs, I've never seen a parallel connection. The discussion of connecting two batteries together to double the capacity does pop up every now and again, but it's generally frowned upon in our circles as different discharge rates could lead to one battery overdischarging before the other battery is empty(at least, that's the theory that's thrown around)

  • @MakeTestBattle

    @MakeTestBattle

    7 жыл бұрын

    Yeah, I wanted this video to be applicable to as many different communities as possible. Parallel is very rare nowadays. I'm not 100% sure on how using several packs in parallel would go down but that sounds legit. Battery manufacturing has improved so you can get pretty big individual cells so paralleling packs is rarely necessary.

If the total volts for a 3s is 11.1, that would only give me 3 volts of wiggle room before I have to recharge at 7.1 volts? I don't want any of the cells to drop below 3.2, so 7.1 just doesn't seem like a lot. Or can I push it all the way to 3.2 total volts in the entire battery?

I'll be buying M.T.B. motors from now on (Fang Revamped make me want to retch) and some Neo-Rhino's for my Modulus, Hyperfire, Rapidstrike and Regulator Builds, probably even my Mega Mastodon (with some shims to hold the motors in place), what pusher motor do you think would work best on a 3S setup with Neo-Rhino motors? I can do motor braking to avoid runaway firing, so that doesn't worry me, ideally I want to stick with 130 size cans, just for the simplicity and less internal and external shell cutting. Honeybadgers are 2S, right? So could I use a 3S Rhino as a pusher without any issues?

    Hey MTB, I finally got around to making my rapidstrike Uzi but I'm not sure what to do with it. I am not allowed any sort of lithium battery in my household so lipos are out of the question. I am not a massive nerfer, I just like playing around the house so super fast flywheels aren't really needed I do however want a high ROF so I thought, what can I do. And I came up with this: Keep the stock wiring, replace the pusher motor with a honey badger, and use a 7.2 volt nimh pack. Will that setup increase my rate of fire? Thanks

    Great video. Thanks. I would like to see a video covering the torque and RPM differences between brushed and brushless.

    It is verrrrry hard to find the exact figures for brushless motors but a guy on the Nerf Reddit page did some testing and the ones he used seemed to perform similar to top tier 180 motors which is quite surprising. That said, there are *many* different brushless motors so whos to say some aren't better. I will definitely cover the differences between brushed and brushless in the detailed motor video -R

    Great video, very thorough. Would love to hear your opinion on the pros/cons of using mosfets or relays, along with the use of NiMH batteries.
