Mass Effect N7-themed Rayven
Well, we finally got this bad boy out. It sure was a hassle and seemed like one thing after another kept going wrong with it (especially when trying to order the decals). Anyways, the guy who commissioned this is finally receiving it back after it has been sitting in my garage for the last 2 months in various stages of completion. I feel like the weathering looks a bit off, and the clear coat lightened the black coats by a lot, but it turned out well overall. We like it, we hope the owner likes it, and we hope you like it too, as we move into more detailed cosmetic mods moving in the future.

Pololu 130 Motors for Stryfe/Rayven/Barricade/Stockade
Got my shipment of Pololu Solarbotics RM2 130 size motors today, and the results are impressive.
Popped a pair in my Stryfe masterkey (NO PLASTIDIP - meaning that they have the potential to go even further when I add some to the flywheels), and they were humming along nicely. On top of that, even running a little over their rated voltage, I didn't smell any burning, even when holding it revved for a minute, nor did it sound like a chainsaw like the stock motors.
At stock voltage (6v on alkaline AAs), elites were hitting about 40 feet flat (single fire or rapid fire).
At ~9v on 2 Trustfires and 2 nearly drained alkaline AAs, elites were hitting 70 feet flat consistently, and 65 feet during rapid fire.
This testing was done with a retaliator barrel ON (meaning it cut some range), the chokes reattached to the new motors, the flywheels have yet to be plastidip coated (for better dart grip), and using the same 4 elite darts every test.
TL;DR: new motors that can run on 2 Trustfires, hitting the same range as stock motors and 4 Trustfires, without the burning smell or chainsaw sound.
A pair of these motors (installed) will cost $10 in either the Stryfe, Rayven, Barricade, and eventually the Stockade.
I'll try to get a side by side comparison video of stock motors vs. new motors later this week.early next week.
