We are Number One but it's Ryan lecturing us about not using Lipos again.
Excellent video, fellas. Everything was explained very thoroughly, and was easily understood. I wish there was something like this when I first got into the modding scene. Definitely interested in a MOSFET video, though. Keep up the great work!
Two months of reddit posts, wikipedia pages, and dozens of open tabs and I learned more in 10 minutes of this video than I ever did. How is it that no one ever explained stall specs that well?

Because a vast majority of the denizens of reddit (and dare I say nerf in general) care more about feelings and dogma than facts. "Science" and "Maths" are scary words... Its getting better tho -R

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.

Yes. a 2000mAh battery will last twice as long as a 1000mAh battery. A good choice is the Zippy Compact 1300mAh. It fits really nicely -R

You have saved me yet further trouble. Thank you, humble nerf saint of nation KZread.
I have been looking for a video like this for quite some time! Thank you so much for the great detail and practicals. Very rarely do people give the reasons behind a mod as well as examples for how they do it. Again, Thanks So much!
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)

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.
quality video, have been continually googling these details and not making full sense of it all. Thanks lads.
Good video, the info here sounds very much like the info I give out to beginners in the r/c hobby- it's all directly applicable in that sense.
I really appreciate you guys making these videos! Thanks so much!
I've done flywheel builds before, and I was still able to learn a ton! Thanks for the great vid Ryan.

Thanks for this video, explained a lot that I didn't understand before. I just ordered 4 neo hellcat motors for 2 hyperfire builds I'm taking on and some 3s lipos from hobbyking. I'm glad to see the parts I ordered look compatible. The batteries are a little large but no harm there
When like "we are number one" so much it has to be your intro music
This is awesome. I knew about most of it, but the review on current draw was super helpful
Yes, someone explained carbon brushes! Carbon brushes are a good way to get stock motors to hold 3s. That's what my Modulus ECS-10 has now.
I have watched this video three times and it helped me a lot
Great video as always! Keep up fantastic work guys.
Good job on explaining the subject. I found it very helpful.
watching this a 2nd time a year later, I understand so much more. great job

great video guys. lots of information. I'd love a mosfet video.
Perfect 101 - helps a lot, thx!!!
Just woke up, saw this, and my day got 72% better ;)
I first watched this video and didn't understand any of it, then I went on an internet binge of watching nerf mod videos and scrolling through hobbyking and blasterparts, and know I can understand almost all of it, I would be a dumbass without the internet.
Love the new logo

Thanks for the video. This helped me find a 45c 3S Lipo 5200mAh. Plenty of power for its size ;)
This video is awesome for a beginner like me, even three years later. Is there a newer video on this subject that may have any updates concerning this topic in our hobby, or is it just more efficient motors replacing older models? Thanks!
*We are number one at the beginning* Me: PERFECT 10/10 BEST VIDEO IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSE!
this helps so much
"'We are number one,' but it's all synths, and it's the background to a Nerf mod guide." Man, these "we are number one" memes are getting really esoteric.

How fast is the spin up time for brushless motors
Should I use Energizer Rechargeable batteries in my modulus stryfe?
What voltage alarm would you use and where would you put it?
i dont see the link for the switches. could you put that in?
When finding what amps I need for my battery do I have to take in account for the plunger motor? For ex. My case, I'm going to be running two hellcats at 23.8 amps at stall (x2) and a rhino at 7.8 amps at stall for 55.4 total, is that correct or do I only need to worry about the primary flywheel motors because the cheapest and most powerful 3s I found from where I wanna buy is a 2.2 amp 25c giving me 55 amps which is less then what I neeed by .4 please someone help lol
Micro switch link not found on the "below" section. Can you link what type you used (in the rapidstrike mod video).
on a rapid strike with no mods what would you use for a lipo so you can save money on batteries?
Thanks so much!
will 3s Lipo fry stock rapidstrike pusher motor? I can't find any suitable pusher motors anywhere, I get it I should ideally get around 10000rpm but I'm feeling lost
great video mtb im just starting out in modding and this video helped alot

^_^ Excellent! -R
Can you discuss flywheel replacement as in bought or printed and can you use 18650 batteries for power ?
does any one ever use motors that are not these standard 180 you talk about there is a massive selection on hobby sites for in runner motors with 3d printers modifications or building a mount for them could be done?
Damn fire track
Is there any motors that 3 IMRs will be able to supply the current and amps? I just bought 4 IMR's. And I was initially going to run stock motors. But I that would ruin the motor. So would your mtb rhino motors be able to supply their full potential with IMR's?
thank you so much
Congrats on 65K!

Thanks so much! Very educational for a Noob like me.
do the little circuit boards on stock motors do anything important
Great video, Filled in a gap I had on Lipo and made me wanna make a 2s2p 18650 battery tray for my next Stryfe build. Luckily I have a 3d printer and knowledge of vape batteries (Most common application of 18650 by non hobbiests) Wish me luck
Will using a 2S LiPo for 180 motors (like Hellcats) damage the motors for continuous use?
Thank you
I’m using 3 neo rhinos in my rapidstrike what battery should I get?
Is a motor's stall current affected by over/undervolting?
Could you get rid of the batteries and install a Milwaukee battery? Just asking, I’m not sure if it would work
can I use a 3, 14500 trustfire batteries with MTB HoneyBadger motors. I'm on a budget nerf Stryfe build.
Suggested motors for 20V and supporting mods?
I got 2 things. 1. How to calculate total use time for a 3s 1 amp/hour 25 c Lipo powering 2 rhinos 2. 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?
Are they ANY Aftermarket motors for IMR Batteries?
@.Make Test Battle hey nice video very informative. I'm from the drone community,nit auto dji but hand soldered freestyle quads. The lipo batteries that go upto 4.2x are HV (high voltage) standard lipos charge upto 3.8v. Tha k's for the vid I'll be using it to mod mine! Cheers.
Thanks Ryan, this is a great video, (as most of yours are) and helped me a lot in choice of motors and batteries. 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?
How do you pick a charger though?
so i have a quiestion. i am building a honeybadger 2s build and was wondering what wire would be better? 15 awg or 21 awg wire since they´re the only wiresi am able to find. (also i know those are wierd numbers but i live in sweden so accept it lol)
THANK YOU
I'd love if you guys did mofset and relay vids!!
Could you do a Desolater build? I love the gun and I think giving it a fullauto kit and a forward barrel attachment can make it pretty slick.
Thanks Ryan! This video was really helpful! Also have you guys ever made a Rayvipfire (rapidstrike + rayven) or a stryfeturion? (Stryfe + centurion)
Make.Test.Battle what charger and wall connecter/power supply do you recommend?
Thanx that helps.
So when searching for a Lipo, do I search for a Discharge rating that is equivalent to all the motors draw added together? Or is it just the motor with the highest draw? Sorry if this makes no sense :P
Make.Test.Battle would you mind adding a link for the motors, micro switch, and wire you used on your Stryfe build
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
these guys are the tech Syndicate of needing KZreadrs
In your paper you say that we want the darts to skid as they go through the flywheels. Are you saying that knurled/grippy flywheels such as those from Worker should be avoided?
Are rhinos and four imrs a good pair
What charger do you use?
Does overvolting a motor cause it to draw more current?
I'm running a 1000ma zippy compact 3s lipo with 3 xp180s (one for the pusher). Would this be advisable?
@MakeTestBattle
7 жыл бұрын
Not sure because a good spec sheet for XP180s doesn't exist AFAIK but it depends on the C rating as well as the capacity. I would allow 30 amps per XP180 conservatively -R

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

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.
