Nerf Rayven - Motor Comparison with Tamiya Plasma Dash Motor
.
I think it's fascinating that the motors are in the same form factor as Tamiya mini 4wd motors.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what getting two Jet Dashes or two Plasma Dashes would be like in the Rayven. I feel like there would need to be a battery mod in order to support these, however...
Does the Rayven work with FDLs?
ReplyDeleteion.homedawg,
ReplyDeletePossible, it works with foam darts that can fit in N-Strike clips.
holly crap dude! i have an old X MOD motor from radioshack still in the box BUILT FOR SPEED AND TORQUE! i am so switching those motors out lol
ReplyDeleteWould roughening up the flywheels increase range? I'm thinking that smooth flywheels might not have enough friction for optimum firepower.
ReplyDeleteP13c30fch33s,
ReplyDeletePossible, though it can't be too rough or the foam darts might get worn out or damaged, maybe applying a thin layer of textured/grip tape could work too.
Personally I like the bullpop(?) design to bad its a flywheel blaster.....
ReplyDeleteHey Sg, I was wondering about the flywheel design. Do you think that rebarreling the blaster would help anything? Im thinking brass might just help reduce drag
ReplyDelete3missary,
DeleteMaybe, you can try it out and see if it results in any significant difference in performance.
The smooth barrel would make me thing it wouldn't hurt. And brass would look rather bad ass.
DeleteSG Nerf- Have you considered weighting the flywheels? I thought that after the voltage and motor mods it would not take significantly longer to spin up, but would also lose less speed on each shot. This would extend your range at high rates of fire. The weighting would also have to be perfectly symmetrical to prevent vibration. But this is all just conjecture haha. I would love to hear what you think and if you have any experience with weighting flywheels.
ReplyDeleteTAVarner17,
DeleteWell, i've tested weighing the flywheels before, and while it does help them maintain the rotating energy for a longer period when the power is cut... it also takes a noticeably longer time for the weighted flywheels to spin up, depending on the amount of additional weight added.
So i guess it all depends on the setup that you prefer.
Hey SG, is it my imagination or is the barrel section (the orange tube) the same length and diameter as the one out of the Stampede? (If it is the same that saves me a bit of work on my glow enhancement mod)
ReplyDeleteRogh-sensei,
DeleteThe front orange barrel section in the Rayven has the same ID and OD as the one in the Stampede... though the Rayven's orange barrel length is 2.5cm shorter. :)
