100th POST BLOWOUT BONANZA: Blade 180 Rapidstrikes!

In honor of our 100th post, I present to you: JSI's first Blade 180 motor swaps. These things are insane, and due to the cold weather and lack of chrony, I unfortunately did not get a range test or fps data.

Anyways, these are the definition of OP. I wouldn't want to shot with them and I made them. They scare me. They're probably louder than a chainsaw; wouldn't surprise me.

All 3 models have exactly the same specs, and are all similar paintjobs. 

Specs:

• Red/Black marbled blood spatter paintjob (black vinyl dye primer coat, red main coat, matte clear coat)
• Complete internal rewire with 18 AWG wire
• Motor swap with Blade 180 motors (L/R) with resettable PTC fuses
• Shell modification to support larger LiPo packs (3S 5500mAh+)
• Battery pack: Bias 3S 25C 5500mAh LiPo
• Genuine Deans connectors
• EGP20F diode on pusher motor for ROF stability
• Custom vinyl lettering on side: "TCK"
• Pain comes standard

Full Order

These are like 98% the same as TorukMakto4's setup as seen in this video, I wish that I would have thought to video the performance before packing them up to send off, the commissioner needed them (across the country) for a Nerf war happening on Saturday so these were shipped pretty much right after completion and testing yesterday (Tuesday).

Catching up

We've gone dark for a few months now, but rest assured we're still here working away in the background. Just posting the last few things we've finished to get caught up for (hopefully) what will be a crowning achievement tomorrow (possibly?).

Anyways,

"Sam's Signature Russian Camo" Rapidstrike Masterkey

"The Punisher"-themed Stryfe

And this LSK on a Rampage stock we built for a guy (plastic welded into a single solid piece).
No lie, it ain't going anywhere. Removable only by the two stock receiver screws (as per request).

(We didn't do anything else for this gun, like the jank chrome duct tape)

Stay tuned, cause we're back biznitches.

Delving into the RapidStrike

So Ivan was the first of us to get a RapidStrike and really mess around with it. The internals are surprisingly simple (once you figure out what's going on in there), and the shell is easily split for painting.

Not much changed from the stock setup, but the overvolt is throwing darts out to about 80' flat at about 360rpm. You can expect a more in depth internal build soon from Jake, based on TorukMakto4 & Naazrael's motor testing and developments.

Specs:

• Tan/Grey/Black mixed stripe paintjob w/ clear coat
• Internal rewiring to bypass electronic locks & PCBs/ICBs
• Overvolt to 360rpm
• P90 sling (works like a charm)
• Dressed up with some "tacticool" attachments for added coolness

Don't mind Ivan trying to look tacticool

Hands-on Rapidstrike

Catching up on everything that we've done in the last 2 months, we haven't really been present on the blog or FB due to the high load of work we've been swamped with this semester (and Sam is on co-op again).

Anyways, here's the first hand's on job we had with the Rapidstrike. We really like it, it has a lot of potential when revamped correctly.

This unit was painted to match the recipient's Halo Spartan armor., and has a simple overvolt to 360rpm.
