literally the ONLY how to!!! and for that I thank you! I'm late to the prometheus party, but good things are worth the wait! Personal preference though, I like the thumb trigger. I find it more controllable
Thank you for doing these videos. I've never really delved into the electronic aspect of the hobby. But these help out a lot. Also your intro are bar none the best ever.
For the battery case, it might be good using some wide pvc pipe the close to the diameter as the old battery case, and maybe something like a 3.5mm headphone port and jack to connect the battery to the circuit.
So all you have to do is remove a bunch of screws to get one side off? Do you have a closeup of what the battery screw is attached to? My screw just rotates but doesn't loosen up so when my battery needs recharging I can't do anything to remove it to charge.
I'm probably not going to rewire mine when I get it, Just gonna stick in a removable feed hose so it can be backpack fed which is all I could ever need for it and I'll actually be able to feed the beast now I'm working full time.
Hey captain, ive been thinking about you wanting to put a muzzle flash on eir (and keep in mind, I've never actually poked around inside a stampede) but maybe you could fit a switch behind your trigger, and hook up the power to your LED, if that doesn't work you could have a switch that's activated when your piston goes foward upon firing, sort of like a rev trigger (I forget the name of the type of switch) OR you could fit a miniature motion sensor on either side your barrel, and every time something triggers the sensor, the barrel would flash. Also, I'd recommend edge glow plastic to cover the hole where the light would be, it can give a pretty cool look and can be softened with a heat gun. Sorry for the long post, have a nice day ^-^
I can not look at this thing without feeling terrible they announced it like ONE FREAKING WEEK after you revealed rival minigun, but yours will always be cooler, even aside from the fact that you built it yourself
I'm curious why no one uses relays to control the motors instead of hacking in cherry switches? I modded my Zeus with a 40 amp automotive relay between the battery pack and motors, and used the stock rev switch to activate it. It saved SO much time not having to fit a larger switch into the grip, and it revs instantly since the relay can handle much more current than the usual 10 amp switches.
I would add a foot and a half long by two and a half inch inner diameter fake barrel, probably PVC spray painted orange, make it look like a heavy gun that fires extraordinarily large rounds like cannon shells instead of lots of smaller rounds.
Excellent! The first real mod guide for the Prometheus. I'm not going to buy one or a Nemesis though as I'm not a gravity-feed fan, (I might wait for sales, but I'd never field one, I prefer running a pair of Hyperfires and a Khaos with a Modded Mega Cycloneshock for "close encounters" ) I prefer using mag-fed blasters, especially my Khaos and some spare mags and my Zeus with 7 mags. Interesting to see the insides of the Prometheus, your mod guides are fantastic. I love your wiring guides for circuits, I use them on all my blasters. You are certainly (in my humble opinion) the best when it comes to making easy to understand mod guides, I can make notes as you go along as to what connects to where. Which diameter wire did you use 18 AWG or 16? Also, would a Cherry DC10 work in a tight space, say, a Zeus running on a 2S 2200mAh 60C LiPo? I was wondering, as I have some Cherry DC10's some 16A Omrons and a ton of 21A Omrons, what the difference would be as previously I've only used 16A Omrons in my Stryfe builds? I was going to use the 21A ones for my Khaos and Zeus, what difference does it make, apart from the obvious amperage difference in the switches, what I mean to ask, WWCXD - What Would Captain Xavier Do? Or WWCD? You sir are an inspiration, a scholar and a gentleman, I bid thee good day and wish you many thanks for your excellent videos.
18g I think The switch needs to be rated to handle the voltage of the battery AND the combined stall current of the motors. Though, in all probability the wire and switches we have been told we "have" to use are probably MASSIVE overkill because in general we use our blasters in short bursts so overheating is actually fairly unlikely. It is really only in the super high capacity blasters that this is ever an issue. However, better safe than sorry.
@@CaptainXavier so a no on the DC-10 then on a Zeus with a 2S 2200mAh 40C LiPo, or a Rapidstrike with fang revampeds and a Honeybadger pusher, better going for a full sized Omron switch? I know 18 AWG it's only rated to carry 30 Amps, which is why I use 16 AWG for the higher amperage. I like the idea of swapping the triggers by the way, it should be like that to begin with anyway, it just makes more sense.
Question for q&a: is it possible to put a proton pack on a Prometheus and still be able to use the hopper? If so, is there a way to use the safety as a switch between hopper and proton pack
Not really. They will technically fit, but they will make contact with the shell and cause a WHOLE lot of noise as a result of the entire blaster vibrating.
I do but I generally attend the ones down in Centralia at Fort Borst. There are occasionally some up in Seattle. Join the PaNNC Facebook group. That is where we post events.
The chances of us existing is rare. Imagine how many different people could have been born instead of us. It could have been that I was never born to write this comment. It could have been that the people who created youtube were not even born. But in the end the slim chances came together and this our reality.
I just shot my new Prometheus today, and it is so GD satisfying to shoot. I was giggling like a child the entire time. If I shot a modified one, I'd probably have to be admitted to a sanitarium

Love this guy he makes the hard parts of nerf become joyous and happy

*Those unintelligent swines*
How would that even make a difference? They could just find out how much power it outputs and rewire it.
Looking forward to your cosmetic work video. I'm always amazed by the great work in the Nerf community, and enjoy all the creativity.

Love his vids one of the reasons I got into nerf
god of war
Where is part 2 of this?
Turn it into an eir attachment
Holy heck, a Prometheus on a stampede, or a stampede on a Prometheus
notfeedy notlazy exactly lol
For the battery case, it might be good using some wide pvc pipe the close to the diameter as the old battery case, and maybe something like a 3.5mm headphone port and jack to connect the battery to the circuit.
It is already done. I used ABS pipe and connected it used an XT-60 connector. 3.5mm is WAY too low a gauge for a 3S. It would melt.
Ah fair enough, I don't know too much about electronics to be honest. I try to stick with springers.
The intro just made me repeat it several times to figure out all the parts whithout laughing
When’s part 2?
Probably never, honestly... for...reasons...
Captain Xavier ok
Did he ever do a part 2 video?
Nope
Will you ever add the part 2 video?
So all you have to do is remove a bunch of screws to get one side off? Do you have a closeup of what the battery screw is attached to? My screw just rotates but doesn't loosen up so when my battery needs recharging I can't do anything to remove it to charge.
where the battery detector is you should put an ammo counter in
I'm probably not going to rewire mine when I get it, Just gonna stick in a removable feed hose so it can be backpack fed which is all I could ever need for it and I'll actually be able to feed the beast now I'm working full time.
Thanks. Not that I'll end up with one very soon, but this will be a big help.
Always love the music you use in your videos!
It’s been five months man! What’s the update!!
I cannot show it...for reasons...
OH NO!!!!
That racks! I was seriously looking forward to seeing it!
What gauge wire are you using?
@@ryannorman1610 14 g and must be silicon!

I can not look at this thing without feeling terrible they announced it like ONE FREAKING WEEK after you revealed rival minigun, but yours will always be cooler, even aside from the fact that you built it yourself
I can barely open up an Alpha Trooper without breaking it, let alone rewire a whole minigun...
Best intro yet XD
Aw, I wanted to see what you would do with the speed controller.
If your talking about the turning nob that's actually the safety
He knows but it looks like a speed controller
Did you consider using a potentiometer to allow for an adjustable rate of fire?
I did but opted not to for the sake of simplicity.
I am heavy weapons guy, and this is my weapon. She fires custom foam round at 480 RPM. It costs $27 to fire this weapon.....for 28 seconds
I'm curious why no one uses relays to control the motors instead of hacking in cherry switches?

Oh, people do. TYR has MOSFETs in him now. It is just that most people don't know enough about electronics to understand them.
Yeah, still waiting for a "part 2" of this, hopefully with a firing demo.
I would add a foot and a half long by two and a half inch inner diameter fake barrel, probably PVC spray painted orange, make it look like a heavy gun that fires extraordinarily large rounds like cannon shells instead of lots of smaller rounds.
I was considering a mini-gun barrel...but I kinda like that more...
Captain Xavier Certainly would be simpler. No need for a motor or gear setup for rotating the barrel.
I wasn't going to bother with barrel rotation. Just cosmetics. Thus your idea is all the better.

Yes and yes. You would just need to wire it so flipping the safety activated the Proton Pack to refill the hopper.
I can't wait to see what this baby Tir will look like done!
This is a real how to! Btw, what gauge is the wire you’re using?
18g or 16g. Either are more than required but better safe than sorry.
Did you ever make a battery compartment for a lipo?
Yes
This is the first one I've seen opened up. Can't wait to see how she performs. Great vid as usual. TkEZ»UK
Hey cap! Do you think it would be possible to make a modified Prometheus that can use both the stock battery and a lipo?
@@DefinitelyNattox yes.
he be like:
*takes most powerful nerf blaster ever made*
"not good enough"
*U P G R A D E T H E F U C K O U T O F I T*
"perfect"
Nice vid cap!(i dont have a prometheus..but i still like your vids) i have a question.would 132 motors fit in a stryfe without shell cutting?
Not really. They will technically fit, but they will make contact with the shell and cause a WHOLE lot of noise as a result of the entire blaster vibrating.
Captain Xavier thanks do you know if there are 130 motors that are rated for IFR batteries
Must... Find... Way... To .... Put....A.... Drain blaster on it
I am insanely jealous, as I cannot afford the $370 AUD for one of those. As always, a very interesting video. Cheers.
Do you go to Nerf wars? I live in the area but can't seem to find events inside the city. I know Olympia has nerf events, but that's way too far
I do but I generally attend the ones down in Centralia at Fort Borst. There are occasionally some up in Seattle. Join the PaNNC Facebook group. That is where we post events.
You really do make me wonder what would happen if you left the battery light in and used a limo with it
Pretty sure it would pop...but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. :P
when will there be a showcase of the cosmetic mods made to this?
Possibly never...
i was looking for this for so long not that many people mod this blaster maybe cause tis expensive but thanks this is a great tutorial
If my stock battery dies, could I just put a normal nimh battery back in there?
Probably.
Hey cap, was wondering if where you placed the switches held up okay? Is there any other way to place them? Thank you for all of the great videos.
No failures so far. You can mount the switches wherever you want.
Thank you good sir. Almost done with mine. I just have to mount the switches and figure out the battery housing.
are there any kits out there to buy what is needed to do this?
Kits? No. Also you need is any on/off switch and a 3.5mm Audio Jack (preferably Mono)
How long did what you've filmed here take to accomplish?
About an hour, at most. Must of that was spent explaining things
NOOO There’s a part 2. I want to seee it
there is none
i an from the future
Have I gone mad or have we only seen hints of this blaster post mod during gameplays?
That is correct. It is being withheld for...reasons...
@@CaptainXavier I will hope it is for good "reasons"....I hope 😅
Sadly...not really...
@@CaptainXavier Ooo that's no good, mechanical, electric, or cosmetic issue?
None of the above.
I want to make a bruit shot now from halo 3
This is awesome
Spectacular video!
This deserves more likes.
Well, tell your friends. ;)
This thing has to be mean
How does it compair to Tir?
You will have to wait till the full build video. :P
Why not use relays instead of the high voltage switches, though I am a lowly automotive mechanic.
Because I know how switches work...no idea how relays work. I am a Software Engineer, you know WAY more about electronics than I do. :)
@@CaptainXavier it's never too late to learn I believe in you
Well, let's start with why you believe replays would be better? Do they have NO/NC/COM or just on/off?
You are the guy that made me try modifying nerf guns
Hurray?
Which is so much fun
Nice!
Is the yellow Longshot rare?
Compared to what?
The chances of us existing is rare. Imagine how many different people could have been born instead of us. It could have been that I was never born to write this comment. It could have been that the people who created youtube were not even born. But in the end the slim chances came together and this our reality.
Keep up the awesome work man! I gotta ask but any chance the hopper on the Prometheus is even remotely close to fitting on a nemesis?
Not even a little. It is twice as big.
Seems a little lack luster when you compare it to Tyr. Seems I do that all the time now .
Yeah...TYR will be hard to top...but give me time...
Yes, with time
P.S. Thank you for your reply. It means alot.
Greetings.
Salutations
Welcome
I just realized I didn't use that correctly
Now if i had 200 bucks this would be useful but all your vids are cool
Actually at least for me you need 214 plus tax for the Prometheus
time loop soup still... Do you have 215 bucks i think not sirrr
They've already been on sale at Amazong for $140. They're >SO< worth it at that price.
$85 now. You can't beat that right now
i have no good wills in alberta but i relly want to go to one with cap xavier
Yay!
Magic😃😎
Do a repaint of of a Death Trooper blaster make it like it came out of the movie
Meh, it has already been done and I don't have a death trooper outfit so I would have no use for it.
I just shot my new Prometheus today, and it is so GD satisfying to shoot. I was giggling like a child the entire time.
If I shot a modified one, I'd probably have to be admitted to a sanitarium
Imagine what you felt...doubled...the rate of fire is doubled on 3S...it is disgusting...and I LOVE it!
Yup, definately would end up a bit (more) unhinged
