Hobbyking is the best place to get Lipo. Follow my formula in the how to match batteries to motors video then use the Hobbyking battery finder to get a pack. You will need a battery tray expander for the Stryfe. Worker make lots of mod kits, many of them not very good, do more research before buying, particularly motors and cages.
Also you will likely want an LiHv pack for that, don’t worry about specific Lihv chargers, you only need to charge them like a normal Lipo for Nerf. Accucell S60 with UK plug is the charger we recommend.
You need a tray expander to use mod motors with the stryfe, it’s not worth it buying a tiny battery and stuffing it under the stock battery door, buy an expander. BSUK do a strong, cheap and indestructible one. You need at least a 1000mah capacity Lipo, none of which fit under the stock tray lid.
I'm glad I found your battery guides, I've been running on ultrafires for a while and I'm looking for an upgrade. I'm still rubbish at modding so I think I'll step up to imrs for now.
if I have leds connect to a 9v battery what kind of resistor will I most likely need and does to resistor get connect to the switch on the positive side.
Read the LEDs power rating in W, more watts, more light output. Generally several small LEDs is better than one large one, as you can spread the beam a bit.
Great content! I might be late to the party, but I just got a stock gray trigger Hyperfire, it's performing worse than my stock springers... would it be a solution putting two 18350 IMRs (7.4V) or 3 LiFePo e.g. Coolook (9.6V)? Lastly, is rewiring the only mechanical way of "unlocking" the gray trigger? I would be grateful for any answer! Good day
tick127 The hyperfire is well known to be awful. I don’t use IMR or any hard cell for full auto blasters. The larger size IMR might be better than nothing, Cool Look are garbage Lifepo cells, too low power output to use for Nerf, I wouldn’t put them in anything. If you want better performance then get a 3D printed flat cage for the Hyperfire, it has canted flywheels stock which are very bad when modded, fit some 2s mod motors like Meishel 2.0 or Fang RV and run it off a 2s lipo pack or big 7.4v NiMh RC pack.
@@foamdataservices Thank you for replying me! I knew hyperfire wasn't going to be great, but got it at bargain. At this stage I don't know if I want to mod a blaster I'm not entirely interested in, I just wanted to find some quick and dirty solution for the underperformance so I can take it out and actually have some fun with friends who use mostly stock or very mildly adjusted springers. I'll probably try the two imrs and see what happens with the grey trigger resistors or whatnot is hampering the output.
I want to modify a friend's Rapidstrike that broke (The positive tab on the PCB on the pusher motor broke and the inductor/resistor, I don't know which, on the positive lead broke off), and he gave it to me to repair. I want to surprise him with it giving it back to him modified. Is it safe for 1 Meishel 2.0 motor for the pusher motor and 2 OoD Valkyrie motors for the flywheels to run on a 3s LiPo? Or should I just ditch the Meishel 2.0 motor and keep the stock pusher motor? What I'm mainly looking for is RoF, not FPS, but having a good compromise between them would be nice.
ABorinGuy Run 2 OOD Krakens on the flywheel motors, with a decent set of aftermarket wheels like Cyclones or Bulldogs, then a Valkyrie on the pusher. The stock motor is trash and won’t like 3s. In my experience overvolting 2s motors never ends well, better to run a dedicated 3s motor on there. That will still give you about 10 darts per second and around 130fps.
I just use the stock cage, it’s free and with well set up precision flywheels it’s pretty consistent. I rarely bother with aftermarket cages, unless you must have over 130fps they are not worth it.
ABorinGuy DO NOT USE SOLID WIRE. Get some decent multi stranded silicone insulated hobby wire. Do it right or leave it alone, that’s the only way we h electric mods.
Question, Tom. I was thinking of putting a lipo in my rapidstrike. Right now it's getting 15 rps on 4 lifepos 12.4v sustained. But after about an hour, or two, of play it begins to jam up. Would a lipo correct that?
That is the thermosistor cutting in or the batteries dying from being ragged. You will get much better performance off a pack but ONLY if you rewire property. You can't use a pack over about 9.1v with the stock wiring or the thermosistor cuts in. Right now those cells are voltage sagging so much it takes ages to get hot enough to trip
Currently using 2 ultrafire batteries in my stryfe as I didn't know about that over discharging however where would I get 14500 IMR batteries? I only see bigger ones and would it be ok to use 18650 (single a batteries) with labeled 3000 mAh?
I know but I have access to 3d printing and can make a new tray just wondering if tripple the amperage would be somewhat safe even though its not the best solution I got these li-ions for free and cant afford to overhaul with lipos and such
I bought the efest rechargeable IMR batteries that you showed in your battery guide but I don't have a charger so could you give me a link to an efest charger or does any IMR charger work to charge them?
Foamdata Services I’ve been using my imrs and I don’t know if I should store them charged or not charged. I can’t find anything on the internet that tells me specifically about storing IMRs
Charlie Dana All lithium chemistry batteries should be stored about 75% charged. I just leave my IMR charged, they get used every two weeks. All the IMR 14500 cells of decent quality won’t let you sub critical the volts but shouldn’t be left discharged, always remove from the blaster and store in battery cases in sensible temp range.
what if i have a 1s lipo with a C rate of 25 and since i am using tamiya power dash motors they both supply 2.5-3.3 amps so that is around 6 amps and also new wiring with 18 awg wire, is that balanced tom?
25c will just about be enough if it's a 1000mah or bigger. Tamiya Mach dashes are 12A stall current EACH @ 3.7v. I don't understand why anyone uses them, when you can get MTB Honeybadgers or Rhinos that make more torque, better rpm and need less current.
Nobody sells make test battle motors here in my place and tamiya motors are really cheap here in philippines somebody does sell them but kinda expensive and i do not have a 3s lipo though, somebody do sells 1s lipos here for cheap but mostly for like the quadcopters and i know it will be bad (25C 650 MAH) if i was in australia or America, i would not get tamiya motors and just get honeybadgers or rhinos but just because of the place i live in, shipping is expensive and the only motors i have no choice to buy are tamiyas since most of my motors break after and after time. Thanks for the information Tom
The new efest batteries are purple. On the battery, it says 9.75A. What does that mean? Do all imr batteries have the same discharge rate? And are two of them along with two dummy batteries safe to use without a rewire?
You should always rewire if you intend to use high current batteries. However if you are leaving the thermosistor in place you can use just 2 with the stock loom and motors with no other mods, but you are left with all the locks and toy components in that way. Do yourself a favour and mod it properly. All IMR do not have the same rating, but most 14500 cells are 6-8A. The real world discharge of that cell is closer to 9A. They still limit you to only stock motors.
I wanted to put IMRs into my blaster because of the discharge curve. I didn't want to increase the velocity too much since I do play indoors and I plan to leave the thermosistor in along with the locks removed. So, I guess I will just get two of those IMRs to put in my blaster.
Hair Stock motors are fine on 2 or 3 IMR. Any type of mod motor requires lipo, despite what some mod parts sellers may try to tell you. 14500 IMR tops out at 8A, that is the burst figure, stock motors are 4-5A burst, leaving a bit of head room on the battery burst. The lowest power consumption mod motors are 8A burst. Lipo is better all round and safer for anything above stock motors.
Sadly, I can't find the promised link for the detailed motor data... I wanted to check if my motors are in there too, or is there a way to calculate them myself? the only specs I have are this here: www.mrrc.com/car-components/motors/motors/motor-13d-speed18-18000upm/12v thanks in advance
Does anyone have any recommendation for LiPo chargers in the UK? Was looking at the IMAX B6 but there's so many knock offs I've been put off buying one in case it's a fake. Really useful guides by the way, thanks for putting in the effort to get some decent education out there.
Dear FDS. I have never used a stock wiring Stryfe (use Lipo). But for my "bonus" kids I have bought them each a stryfe. My question is. Is it safe to put 3 IMR's in.. or should I stick with 2? No point in burning out the stock motors/wires. Would never hear the end of it. Thanks in advance.
Stryfe motors stock will handle 3 IMRs, the motors may eventually burn the brush pack out but not quickly like a 3s Lipo. 2 gives good performance, especially with a rewire. Remember IMR s are still a Lithium chemistry and should be treated accordingly, don't leave them in blasters for long periods and don't over discharge them or you will kill the cell and risk a fire when you try to charge them again. Ensure there is no possibility of short circuit,must as you would with a Lipo pack.
At eight minutes, when you realized you don't have a third IMR, you really should have deferred production of the video. Or, quite a bit earlier when you ran out of Lego. This is a concept that's important enough to DO IT RIGHT.
Viewers in general and students in particular are easily distracted. By pretty much anything. Adjusting to that is not really very hard. Think of the length of the lever arm you are trying to employ. When I was teaching programming, for me it was almost 30:1. That meant it was actually worthwhile for me to invest half an hour of _my own time_ to cut just one distracting minute out of my presentations. For you the ratio is a whole lot higher. "Pretend this Trustfire is an IMR" just doesn't cut it. Spend the $6 before you start recording.
I wasn't worrying about being definitive, it just needed to illustrate the basic principle. I had about an hour to film and edit it, so it got made up as I went along to a degree.
If its just stock the PTC may come on. Stop wasting time with trustfires, learn to mod properly or leave electric blasters alone. IMR 14500's are just about OK with a proper rewire in stryfes but not in anything full auto.
Strafes will run fine on 2 or 3. Start by breaking the motors in on AA batteries, you should run it for about 20 mins on this first, then when you have rewired run 2 or 3. If you don't rewire properly you can run2 IMR's on the stock loom, just put them and 2 dummy cells ( blank conductors, NOT regular batteries) in and off you go. 3 will trip the thermosistor. Rewiring is better all round.
Because it’s not, IMR restricts you to only stock motors and the stock wiring leaves all the toy components in. See the battery test data here-www.tapatalk.com/groups/britnerf/battery-wars-shootout-results-t1816.html Lipo and new wire is worth 3fps average on its own vs IMR.

A 460 ohm will still work for a 9v battery. Resistor goes on the +ve feed before the LED.
