Re-Uploaded to Re-Master the audio...which is worth it so that people understand more of the final segment, but sad times because I lost the initial 50k views... :( Worth it, love you guys.
I just sent this to my friend, so he can better work on his internals during a stream. He's modding his to be actuated by streamlabs code, so his twitch chat can redeem points to shoot him while he games, and he just needed a little help with wiring. Never thought I'd be able to use one of your videos to actually help someone, but here we are.
Really dig the new video style. The time lapse looks really good and your voice overs are on point with that new mic. I think you've definitely hit your mark on the quality initiatives you've set for yourself this year. Keep up the good work, Drac.
you should've kept it up. 50k views is quite the amount of views to give up. but prioritizing quality is very professional. and definitely raises some people's. including my own. opinion of you.
Littletass the original video had audio issues during the firing test portion. Despite the original video having 50,000 views Drac took it down to repost a version of the video with the audio fixed.
I would prioritise audio quality over views in this situation, the whole point of a modification video is for people to mod the blaster, it definitely would help with people as if they were to get stuck on a certain part in the modification tutorial that would be devastating to the person modding the blaster.
Hey Drac I love this new video format... but even though you may not see this I would recommend if possible to try to get a closer view of the blaster -thanks to you Drac all the way from down under!
So sick! Used this video to mod my nemisis! Just finished! But I glued my rev up trigger in, then staged the switches so I can just use the main trigger. At 10% trigger pull the motors rev. Then at 95% the conveyor kicks in. Cut out the baffle and safety in the back of the hopper. And cut out a hole in the top of the battery cover, put a Lipo gauge and alarm all clean with a lens. Took extra time but came out so clean! Now I can get a full 3 finger grip on it running around! Best nerf weapon/mod ever! DRAC RULES!
this is part of the reason that I would scream if I saw you in a nerf war,not just because you are super Tacticool, but because you have stuff like this
I really loved the commentary over the actual mod itself it brought a different feel to watching Drac mod and explain it I love the recent content Drac :D
In the first part of the circuit you connect both the fly wheel and pusher together. Now my question is how did you keep the pusher from not running while the fly wheels are on? (To keep both triggers operaterating their intended motors) Maybe a real basic drawing could save a few headaches in the future. Just did the build, and the speed of the video allows many questions on how some wiring was done. Especially the switches. These are just tips, I'm definitely a fan of your work. Keep up the quality of work!
Do you, by any chance, have a picture of the gear arrangement in the feeder mechanism? My son had a ball jammed and it kind of exploded as I opened it up, with gears and axles falling out...Thanks either way.
Only other mod to do imo would be modifying the container itself. It seems like you could open up the back half and insert a sleeve of plastic in a ramp shape like there was at the front, this will help prevent stranded balls and maybe give a bit more capacity
LordDraconical, my son had his safety switch break, it's now just a spring without the toggle function. It's annoying because you have to hold the switch up to use it. I don't hear any plastic rattling around, so i assume I can 'fix' it by re-seating it somehow. Do you have any vids on the trigger/saftey toggle?
The female connector is always on the battery. The metal prongs are actually on the blaster side. It took me a super long time to figure that out also.
Drac, I followed your Rival Zeus full-auto mod a little while back, and I need some help with it. The gun works, but when I pull the trigger the actual first shot is delayed by a second or two, and the final two or three balls in the mag never seem to feed. Please help. Also, if I use Mega darts it feeds all three properly, so I can still use it to intimidate everyone into never approaching me.
I don't think I could personally mod a flywheel blaster because I would confuse which wire would be for what, though I would mod a Longshot since it's simple I need a more powerful spring and follow your guides that don't require me needing to add brass barrels for the shorter darts that look like a real bullet made of foam.
If I wanted to send 14.4v through this via two 7.2v Minh batteries would that be ok or would I burn out the motor? I also have a bunch of 8.4v nimh...I know lipo is better, but I already have the nimh from my hobby rc stuff...
Hey, I wonder If Nerf will develop a backpack that can carry/ reload these hopazines when they start to be sold separately. Imagine going through one hopazine, putting another into your nemesis, and while you are picking up RIVAL rounds your other hopazine is being reloaded. Just a thought.
Hey minę just took a crap the small motor for that conveys the balls to the front doesn’t always work what would be the cause of it ? I want to do this mod but the video is a little too fast for me to start doing a mod like that. Any help would be appreciated in since I bought this for my nephew and he’s really mad that his gun isn’t working and his buddies are.thanks!!
What sort of testing did you do to decide on 3S batteries? How do you know it can't handle 4, 5, or even 6S? I have a feeling the DC motors could handle it, at least in bursts.
So do you have one switch running the flywheel motors and one switch running motor that feeds the ammo? It looks like you're running two switches but I have mine wire to one switch that runs both but I haven't fully tested it yet to know if there's any issues there.
What's the glass ceiling on the rival balls velocity & range considering the fact that those balls are slowed so well by air resistance? Or has that not been explored like it has with the darts?
Dear Drac, I just made my first mod for a nerf gun. it was a zing X-Shot micro. what I did is I took out the air restrictor and that's all I did because I don't have a more powerful spring for it. would you have any suggestions for a more powerful spring to put in the gun cause i want it to shoot hard
How many voltage do you use for that modification ? It sounds pretty similar as mine , I use a 11.1v but i want to include a voltage reductor to keep save the motors and dont burn them
I'm not sure why they wouldn't, but aerodynamics on these squishy foam golf ball type ammo will have you hitting a diminishing returns curve. Probably wouldn't be worth the expense unless you use it a lot and don't want to worry much about maintenance
Does anyone know exactly what motors could replace the stock motors? I'm not looking for an upgrade. The stock motors are fine. But in the long term, a 25%(ish) overvolted motor will die quicker. For the money I'm putting into this blaster, I'd like to know I could replace them should they die. Are they just 3S 130s? Like the MTB Rhino?
Is it worth it to buy one and not modify it? Springers are my expertise, and I usually avoid flywheels, just my preference. Is this blasters performance in stock good enough to take to wars?
Hi 👋 could you sell a pdf explaining this process? I know me and plenty of others would easily pay for something like this. Please! Or do you have a website explains this?
My son and I are looking to do some mods. I really appreciate your videos and details on the replacement parts you use. Unfortunately, perhaps due to your amazing popularity, many of the parts are now out of stock with no relief in sight. Any chance you have alternate choices you would recommend?
So I'm having to mod two nemesis guns and it seems that you're the only one by far that shows the internal components of the nemesis so thank you. Anyways, I'm having a common issue (this happened on both my nemesis guns) where some of the screws are really tight to get out to the point where the screws would eventually get stripped. I am using a philip 1 x 4" screwdriver which seemed to work with most when taking them out, but we're talking several that I would have to get out the ugly way because they would not cooperate. Did you have this issue when modding your nemesis? I know this sounds like a no-brainer but is there a technique you use to get them out especially in these kind of situations? Screwdriver type? I know you said #0 or #1 but may be more specific.
Depends on the round and how nimble you are, I suppose. If you can move quick between cover you have a chance. However... if you are on a field with a stock stryfe and they all have a modded nemesis... you're fucked. In fact, this gun kind of fucks even modded rounds. Honestly, I think it might end up banned from a lot of rounds since it's so comparatively overpowered.
Just use IMRS and blanks in C battery shells as your Nemesis's power source. According to the link below, Rival wiring can take just about anything. www.reddit.com/r/Nerf/comments/3wa78i/while_were_discussing_imrs_lets_talk_about/
If I were to commission you to mod a nemesis just as you have done in this video (I don't trust myself with anything electrical, really). How much would you ask for?
drac im trying to make a semi auto zues that fires mega darts from a tyrant buzz bee mag on the side how should i make a pusher mechanism that will push the mega darts
you can mod a bigshock by taking a flathead screwdriver and tap the back of then take out the air restrictor and it will shoot rival balls. hot glue or super glue the back on again for best results. You should make a vid on that Drac.
Hey! I love your video's (We've talked before) and I had a request. You make some mods that fire insanely fast! But half the time you're testing them you never do a mag dump. You generally burst fire so we don't get to see the full extent of the blasters power. It'd be nice to see a mag dump included regularly with fire rate mods. Peace!
Drac I love your video very much, you are the reason I am into nerf right now.Please help, I did everything from your video to mod my nemesis but it ends up shoot in reverse (it shoots back to the trailer ).how to fix it? I have to rewire everything but to opposite side? thanks in advance
are you an electrical engineer or something? the technical explanations and all the tinkering were pretty over my head tbh. cool to watch though, even if i only get a very basic and incomplete gist of whats going on.
So I did this mod several months ago, and it worked amazingly well and terrified anyone who saw it/heard it (the ones that got shot at died before impact from fear). Just recently, however, It is always shooting with a significant curve to the right, almost as if the Left flywheel is spinning faster, or the right one slower. But whenever I rev it and watch the flywheels spin, they both stop at the same time, like there is no speed difference. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what, if any, is the solution? Help would be appreciated, thanks! :) P.S. The only advantage I can see coming from this is the ability to shoot around corners... but even then, only certain corners lol
This should help folks! The wiring in the video is not correct. His red and black connections on the motors need to be swapped or they’ll run the wrong direction. Some other wiring is wrong too. This link shows wiring with a rapid fire that is VERY close and helps a lot. Good luck. I just did the mod and it works great. m.th-cam.com/video/6DqxL0pGGDo/w-d-xo.html

LordDraconical can you do a workshop tour
Thanks for thinking about our greatest satisfaction!
LordDraconical dang drac that mod is awesome you should paint it black and keep the faded white stripe
LordDraconical don't worry, I'll just watch it again!
Thank you drac for fixing it. Sacrificing the views is a rough blow but means alot as a viewer you care enough to fix it

Now all you need is a huge compartment that consistently feeds rival balls into it.
Your amazon link for the 16ga wire is actually pointing to 18ga wire. Also, you said 25A microswitches and you link points to 15A ones.
Upgraded firing rate is a thing of beauty to watch. Thanks Drac!
Link to the 2-part polysilisate filler, please!
In the first part of the circuit you connect both the fly wheel and pusher together. Now my question is how did you keep the pusher from not running while the fly wheels are on?

how much would it cost to get a modified stryfe with a camo paint job and a raider stock
There is also a lock by the screw for the cover on the battery compartment so that you can't fire unless you have the cover on the battery compartment
LordDraconical, my son had his safety switch break, it's now just a spring without the toggle function. It's annoying because you have to hold the switch up to use it.

The female connector is always on the battery. The metal prongs are actually on the blaster side. It took me a super long time to figure that out also.
should I mod a nemesis or modify a strife with fang re-vamped motor, dr. snikkas flywheel and flywheel cage, and a 3s lipo

When is the mod guide for the alpha hawk coming?
how did you get it i want one but cant find them at all. plz tell me how you got the nerf rival nemesis
The pump grip Apollo is still my favorite.
Joe miller yeah. i hate flywheels. i wanna be silent and... you got it :D
Agree.
Bram Reviews Stuff My fav pump action is either Alpha Trooper or Rotofury :D
Joe miller h
Joe miller nah i would go for out of darts 100 round atlas shotgun
Hey minę just took a crap the small motor for that conveys the balls to the front doesn’t always work what would be the cause of it ? I want to do this mod but the video is a little too fast for me to start doing a mod like that. Any help would be appreciated in since I bought this for my nephew and he’s really mad that his gun isn’t working and his buddies are.thanks!!
Anyone know what soldering iron drac is using? He links a soldering iron that he says is better but I like the look of the one he's using now
TheRealMaternater also wondering the same. What solider iron is that??
am i correct in saying that the stock rival motors can handle the lipo voltage and current? that's exciting
Do you know if you remove the rubber flap (after the fly wheel) if the balls will shoot faster?
Since your using a 3s battery have you thought about using FPV motors? Faster spin and they last longer
FPV as in drones.
What sort of testing did you do to decide on 3S batteries? How do you know it can't handle 4, 5, or even 6S? I have a feeling the DC motors could handle it, at least in bursts.
Question, what wire are the switches connected to and what black wire is connected to the battery.
So do you have one switch running the flywheel motors and one switch running motor that feeds the ammo? It looks like you're running two switches but I have mine wire to one switch that runs both but I haven't fully tested it yet to know if there's any issues there.
How are you preventing over discharge, with the lipo?
What's the glass ceiling on the rival balls velocity & range considering the fact that those balls are slowed so well by air resistance? Or has that not been explored like it has with the darts?
That was awesome! The voiceover explaining the mod was new and certainly great!
Dear Drac, I just made my first mod for a nerf gun. it was a zing X-Shot micro. what I did is I took out the air restrictor and that's all I did because I don't have a more powerful spring for it. would you have any suggestions for a more powerful spring to put in the gun cause i want it to shoot hard
How many voltage do you use for that modification ? It sounds pretty similar as mine , I use a 11.1v but i want to include a voltage reductor to keep save the motors and dont burn them
Can you recommend a charger for this battery? The one you linked is no longer available
So not bothering with a mosfet then?
Would adding brush less motors improve the performance even further?
I'm not sure why they wouldn't, but aerodynamics on these squishy foam golf ball type ammo will have you hitting a diminishing returns curve. Probably wouldn't be worth the expense unless you use it a lot and don't want to worry much about maintenance
Does anyone know exactly what motors could replace the stock motors? I'm not looking for an upgrade. The stock motors are fine. But in the long term, a 25%(ish) overvolted motor will die quicker.

why do you use the 2 part instead of the epoxy puddy? just wondering the pro/con between the two
Any chance I could ask you for a wiring guide for this mod? Or even a close-up shot of your work?
yes I would like to see a wiring guide also
Ditto!
ian davis you mean dildo!!!!
how do you clean up the rivals rounds? I'd be too afraid to shoot that outdoors, cause I'd lose over half my ammo in the grass
Hi 👋 could you sell a pdf explaining this process? I know me and plenty of others would easily pay for something like this. Please! Or do you have a website explains this?
My son and I are looking to do some mods. I really appreciate your videos and details on the replacement parts you use. Unfortunately, perhaps due to your amazing popularity, many of the parts are now out of stock with no relief in sight. Any chance you have alternate choices you would recommend?
Can you still fire off single shots??
Drac making like scarce and uploading a lot here lately, not complaining lol.
This was super helpful! I never would have been able to mod my nemesis without it!
I have the 3M dispenser gun. Could you tell me what putty you used? Thanks!
Drac can you make a video explaining lipos and stuff?Especially stuff that people don't understand as beginner modders
+LordDraconical RaptorStrike or Modulus Regulator?
How much would a Zeus commotion cost

This is a long shot for a reply. I know you are a busy man but I need help, Do you know what motors are in the Nerf Nemesis?
Thank you in advance
could you post the link to that "putty gun" you are using instead of epoxy ?
and where do you buy the ammo ? =)
I can't see what you are doing with subtitles on, could you please consider this in the future
What solider iron are you using in the video?
If I were to commission you to mod a nemesis just as you have done in this video (I don't trust myself with anything electrical, really). How much would you ask for?
Is this thing even released yet?
What about two lipos, one for the flywheels and one for the agitator
do you have to put the microswitch on or can you not use them?
drac im trying to make a semi auto zues that fires mega darts from a tyrant buzz bee mag on the side how should i make a pusher mechanism that will push the mega darts
harry shinkle go to mag 212 's vid he has exactly what your looking for
I saw he dose not do a very detailed explanation....
Well that's definitely going to happen! Great mod guide Drac, and thank you.
you can mod a bigshock by taking a flathead screwdriver and tap the back of then take out the air restrictor and it will shoot rival balls. hot glue or super glue the back on again for best results. You should make a vid on that Drac.

Some more detailed explanation with visual on the wiring would be really helpful . Awesome video ! Thanks !
Awesome work man! Have you done a schematic of the solder pointes and wireing?
Drac

So if you put a ball in the barrel it shoots it to the hopper? I don't know why but I find that hilarious. Don't know how to fix it though.
Di-Ao your polarity is wrong. Switch the positive and negative leads on which ever motors are running opposite.
DRAC!!! I love your work but damn it we want a wiring diagram. Please!
What was the voltage of the lipo batt
What is the total amount you spent on the Nemesis Mod?
what specific polysilicate epoxy do you use
How much would it be for me to send you my nemesis and you can do it for me beacause I'm not used to modding and it confuses me so much?
Hi!
And where you bought it(Nerf Rival), I want to buy it.
I'm so astonished with that mod I would love to have a mod of the nemesis how much would it cost me to have you make me one
How do you get the Nerf nemesis?😁
are you an electrical engineer or something? the technical explanations and all the tinkering were pretty over my head tbh. cool to watch though, even if i only get a very basic and incomplete gist of whats going on.
Can you mod the hopper so it can fire 200 ballz ?
_Łßæęÿùīøźçñ _ Obviously.
How much would you charge for all those modifications to my gun?
I know if I tried to do this I would break something but i still like to watch these videos
So I did this mod several months ago, and it worked amazingly well and terrified anyone who saw it/heard it (the ones that got shot at died before impact from fear). Just recently, however, It is always shooting with a significant curve to the right, almost as if the Left flywheel is spinning faster, or the right one slower. But whenever I rev it and watch the flywheels spin, they both stop at the same time, like there is no speed difference. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what, if any, is the solution? Help would be appreciated, thanks! :)
P.S. The only advantage I can see coming from this is the ability to shoot around corners... but even then, only certain corners lol
Hi drac i will build a epic nerf sniper rifle but its gonba by my first moded can you help me?
Good luck picking up all those HIR
could you make a non timelaps version??
Drac I was wondering if you could mod my nemesis for me? I don't want to mess it up.
Still waiting on that Atlas mod guide...
Any chance we can get a wiring diagram
This should help folks! The wiring in the video is not correct. His red and black connections on the motors need to be swapped or they’ll run the wrong direction. Some other wiring is wrong too. This link shows wiring with a rapid fire that is VERY close and helps a lot. Good luck. I just did the mod and it works great.
m.th-cam.com/video/6DqxL0pGGDo/w-d-xo.html
I did just the battery and it fires just as good. It might burn up eventually
Where did you get the rival nemesis?
That is INSANE. I definitely want one now.
+LordDraconial really like the voice over. very clean and professional.
Do you do mods for people?
