I'm a recent arrival to the world of modding nerf guns, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to put this together. Most helpful, given me a few tips/ideas for my next project.
So good, thanks a heap. Will be attempting my first one soon. Wiring info is great, would have been awesome to see your cable management and also soldering tricks tho. Learnt so much in that regard from your full auto stryfe guide.
The color itself isn’t important, you can use all one color if that’s all you have. The colors just help to make sure that each connection is in its proper place.
Thanks for the post Chris! It appears you wire Rapidstrikes as I have many times in a live center configuration. My question is you didn’t show where you insert the diodes for runaway pusher issues. I’ve never used them and was curious where in your circuit they would be?
Sorry about that, I accidentally cut that part from the video. The Diodes go on the lead running from the rev switch to the trigger switch. In the Blaster tech wiring diagram the wire is blue, I used white here.
@@projectnerf7920 in the finished product it doesn’t look like they are installed. Am I wrong? Attempting this soon, first time! I want to be sure I have everything in order
Thank you very much for your exceptional effort, to make things so much clear. I have one noob question. What is that soldering station you're using there. Can you recommend a piece of equipment which is sufficient enough, to make all that mod/rewire stuff? Great job, keep going ;)
Just about any will do, Weller makes some super nice ones, they also have more budget friendly options. But for ease of use, get one that’s variable temperature.
@@projectnerf7920 thanks for your response. Is there any specific rule on choosing switches. I remember 2 x Omron 21A were used while modding Stryfe. Now you took 15A big one and two other mini switches. I'm lost tbh ;) What switch parameters I should look for, in order to mod Stryfe/Rapidstrike only. Cheers
Hi! I found a kit for rapidstrike 3s LiPo and in the package there are 15A V-156-1C25 switches. And do you know if I can put omron 21A V-212-1C6 instead?
If you are having trouble then there is probably something in the way, perhaps a screw post needs to be removed due to the new parts installed. Not sure without being able to see it.
Project Nerf thanks so much for the response I really appreciate that one more question and I will leave you alone…. What website would you recommend to buy all the new stuff for these rapid-strikes I will be using this video to fix up my boys guns
It is to ensure the pusher returns to the home/ fully retracted position when you let go of the trigger. It’s no truly essential but is very nice for the purpose of unhindered reloads.
The only solenoid pusher I have ever used was on a Jyn Erzo. they are on 2 wires, so semi auto is easy, just hook them up to a switch. For full auto you have to use a controller of some type. I used a timer that was set to it's quickest setting.
Hello! How does an extended pusher arm help for modified rapidstrike? If I make a mod to my rapidstrike like the one you made or does any other change affect the rate of fire if I put an extended pusher arm? Or will the bullets get stuck?
first yes your Honey badger will run okay as a pusher on 3s. But at those very high speeds with the stock pusher arm, it can actually begin to retract before the dart has made a good contact with the flywheels. this is where the extended pusher really helps. You can also just add a little to the end of the stock one to cure the issue.
There are very comparable for torque and speed. So it’s just a matter of preference, I would normally go with Kraken motors, just to show support for out of darts.
You can use a 3s for the build, but you will have to install Diodes to keep the pusher from doing what is known as run away fire! I would stick to 2s for the RS. unless you want to do the extra work. Though my primary for a long time ( The Wraith ) was a 4s variant. It was super cool here's a link to a very old video, but be advised Cringe Alert !!!! Though I still think my Pack A Punch Machine was pretty cool !! th-cam.com/video/WcVLzV3j-u4/w-d-xo.html
Can you send me a link from one store (or more) where I can buy everything I need for the change?FOR 3S LIPO PLEASE! And what is the best flywheel motors and flywheel cage for 3S LIPO?
Sure can, I normally use stronger motors for the flywheels in a full auto blaster though, the extra torque is good for keeping the shots consistent. Kraken or Neo rhinos would probably be your best bet for the flywheels. But Rhinos will work, just have a little less performance.
Sorry I've been asking you a lot of things lately, but I intend to change my rapidstrike. If you don't mind, I want to ask you a few more things: is the honey badger the best pusher motor or are there better ones? With this change, can I fire 400 bullets without making a short circuit or damaging something? Is it worth putting better flywheel motors and metal flywheel cage? And the last question: what are the best flywheel motors and flywheel cage and pusher motor?

You are very welcome my friend !!
Nice! I wish I didn't have a stryfe now and had bought a rapidstrike, ur tutorials r fun to watch!
Glad you like them! I appreciate you support my friend.
Yesterday I was looking for a rapidstrike nod guide, how convenient!
I hope it was helpful my friend.
So good, thanks a heap. Will be attempting my first one soon. Wiring info is great, would have been awesome to see your cable management and also soldering tricks tho. Learnt so much in that regard from your full auto stryfe guide.
Glad to hear it my friend, always pleased to hear that some of my little tips help out. 😀
@@projectnerf7920 why did you use the xd instead of the original rapidstrike
Keen to see a hyperfire lipo/flywheel mod guide next 🤞. Any new content is much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
This is an outstanding guide, good job man! I really like your wiring jig. 👍
Thank you very much!
What are all the color wires in the trigger section?
The color itself isn’t important, you can use all one color if that’s all you have. The colors just help to make sure that each connection is in its proper place.
Just in time! Been looking to rewire and replace the pusher rod as the weak stock wiring doesn't deliver the current to spin it~
Thank you very much kind sir, i love the mod guides.
Glad you like them!
Would love to see a compilation of all the modded guns firing in auto!
finally, school is over, just gonna finish my remaining projects and activities and everything's fine. next month is gonna be my 15th birthday as well
Hey can you add motor braking on a three switch set up

Do you have to use the super long switch for the rev trigger or could you use a small one like the trigger?
Either way will work

Where can we find a copy of the wiring diagram, it was cut off in the video.
Hit you on Facebook. Shoot me a mail and I’ll send it to you.
could you do a video on the jumper box? thanks!
Hi! I found a kit for rapidstrike 3s LiPo and in the package there are 15A V-156-1C25 switches. And do you know if I can put omron 21A V-212-1C6 instead?
Should sub out just fine.
Anyway to get the flywheel motors done and not the pusher?
Hey Chris, What's the best way to test how to put the shell back together? I can't seem to put my other shell back together
If you are having trouble then there is probably something in the way, perhaps a screw post needs to be removed due to the new parts installed. Not sure without being able to see it.
At the start of your video I seen two resistors what were those used for?
They were diodes actually, and they are used in 3s builds to stop runaway pusher.
Project Nerf thanks so much for the response I really appreciate that one more question and I will leave you alone…. What website would you recommend to buy all the new stuff for these rapid-strikes I will be using this video to fix up my boys guns
any chance you will review that rs select fire kit from nf strike?
Didn’t know they had one, don’t happen to have a link do you?
this is my first time modding a nerf gun and had to ask where you got all these parts from
I normally deal with Out Of Darts, but I have also worked with Rare Earth , Containment Crew and several others.
Thank you for make this video!!!
I can put a metal flywheel cage and a few more powerful flywheel motors and a new trigger?
Oh for sure ! If you do the re-wire for lipo, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.
What is the pusher cutout switch for?
It is to ensure the pusher returns to the home/ fully retracted position when you let go of the trigger. It’s no truly essential but is very nice for the purpose of unhindered reloads.
Where is a good place to get all the parts for a build like this
I recommend Outofdarts.com
What charge is the white wire
This is great thankyou. How would you incorporate a solenoid pusher into the build from a wiring perspective?
The only solenoid pusher I have ever used was on a Jyn Erzo. they are on 2 wires, so semi auto is easy, just hook them up to a switch. For full auto you have to use a controller of some type. I used a timer that was set to it's quickest setting.
Hi... do you know the size of the screws used for the body? I need to replace mine. Some of the old screws have their heads already being stripped.
I don’t know the exact size, but they can come out of most blasters, save older N-Strike ones. They have larger screws.
@@projectnerf7920 thanks. I manage to get the correct ones. its M2.5x20mm, M2.5x12mm and M2.5 x 8mm.
Is it possible to use a 180 sized motor on the automatic gearbox without modifying the rapidstrike's shell?
Pretty sure you have to cut the shell to use a 180 pusher motor. You might can squeeze a 150 can in it without cutting, not sure.
Love your channel!
Glad you enjoy it! Be sure to jump in for our 5k sub giveaway. Thanks for your support............................. Chris
@@projectnerf7920 👍 👍 👍
Nice video👍 do you know what the cable that connects to the lipo from the guns Is called
Its an xt connecter, there are many sizes but he uses a xt60
Is there a list of all 3rd party parts used in the video?
hey. where can i find a wiring diagram for this mod? thanks alot
I'm modding another RAPIDSTRIKE....(always Will refer to This VIDEO) Best guide for RAPIDSTRIKE..imo
Hello! How does an extended pusher arm help for modified rapidstrike? If I make a mod to my rapidstrike like the one you made or does any other change affect the rate of fire if I put an extended pusher arm? Or will the bullets get stuck?
It helps to ensure consistent feeding, it will feed without it, but it gets a little wonky at high rates of fire.
@@projectnerf7920 In what sense wonky? Is it ok if I use the 3s LiPo with honey badger pusher?
first yes your Honey badger will run okay as a pusher on 3s. But at those very high speeds with the stock pusher arm, it can actually begin to retract before the dart has made a good contact with the flywheels. this is where the extended pusher really helps. You can also just add a little to the end of the stock one to cure the issue.
@@projectnerf7920 And do you know if a 3,9 inch/10 cm aluminum extension tube fits and is a good idea for rapidstrike?
Where can i get the switches and flywheel assembly?
I source almost all of my parts from outofdarts.com
@@projectnerf7920 ok thank you!
what motors and lipo did u use?
Can u do a mod on the centurion
Have a mod on the Centurion coming up pretty soon actually.
@@projectnerf7920 ok
Can we reuse the stock wires?
I wouldn’t recommend it, they are not heavy enough to handle current from a lipo.
What do you choose between neo rhino 3s or kraken 3s for flywheels motors?Which has more Power?
There are very comparable for torque and speed. So it’s just a matter of preference, I would normally go with Kraken motors, just to show support for out of darts.
Can you do a mod on the modalus ecs10❤
I have done several of them, including 2 for Pdk films. There not too bad to work with in the grand scheme of things. !
@@projectnerf7920 can you do a mod guide on a nerf jolt😊
hi where can i find the diagram you talk about
thank you
Can u use 3s lipo on this build? And what kind of mah would u recommend?
You can use a 3s for the build, but you will have to install Diodes to keep the pusher from doing what is known as run away fire! I would stick to 2s for the RS. unless you want to do the extra work.

Can you send me a link from one store (or more) where I can buy everything I need for the change?FOR 3S LIPO PLEASE!
And what is the best flywheel motors and flywheel cage for 3S LIPO?
Outofdarts.com should have everything you need.
How did I commission a blaster to be modded? I have a rapid strike that is mint. Thank you.
I handle all commissions through the Etsy shop. Send me a mail there and we’ll discuss the mods you would like done.
Hey just a question, what kind of switches are those? I'm trying to find ones that can fit the trigger plate without being too large
I used a larger 21 amp switch for the rev, and two smaller 10 amp sub-micros for the pusher and the return.
What are the specific sizes of the switches?
I would have to measure them. But if you may be interested, Containment crew sells a plate will take 3 of the large ones.
What electric screwdriver is that?
Just a cheapo black and decker, but I ordered the 3" long bit set from amazon , I think ??
@@projectnerf7920 awesome! I need one of those with 3" #0 and #1 Phillips. 😁
Well worth it if you do a lot of mod
epair work.
What pusher motor do you recommend for 3s LiPo?
An mtb rhino or an old Valkyrie would work out fine you could also use a honey Badger if you really want it to fly.
@@projectnerf7920 Mtb rhino of 2s or 3s for pusher motor ?
Sorry it was supposed to say rhino for 2s is bad. Rhino is for 3s applications. For 2s I normally go with the honey Badger
@@projectnerf7920 Can I put 3 mtb rhino motors of the same kind? 2 for flywheels and one for pusher motor?
Sure can, I normally use stronger motors for the flywheels in a full auto blaster though, the extra torque is good for keeping the shots consistent. Kraken or Neo rhinos would probably be your best bet for the flywheels. But Rhinos will work, just have a little less performance.
What are all the internals you used
Worker 42.5 mm cage, fang revamps, inferno flywheels, and a honey Badger pusher motor.
Is the battery LiPo 2s or LiPo 3s?
2s for this build my friend.
@@projectnerf7920 can u also use 3s for the build?
Did you take down your hyper fire mod guide because I cannot find it?
Actually , not so sure I ever did one on the hyperfire.
Oh ok I do not know why I just thought you did
Can you mod my rapistrike c5-18?
Now the cheep knockoff stryfe
That one is coming up soon. 😀
Are Fang revamped good and for LiPo 3s?
2s for fang revamps. Kraken or neo rhinos, would be my pick for 3s.
@@projectnerf7920And the best pusher motor for 3s LiPo?
Honey badger?
And flywheel cage doesn't matter? I can use the same for 3s and 2s, right?
Yea cage goes either way
@@projectnerf7920 And do you know if NYX Flywheel Cage and Wheel Set by Lord Drac go with neo rhinos 3s 130?
Should with no problems at all.
Waassuup!
Sorry I've been asking you a lot of things lately, but I intend to change my rapidstrike. If you don't mind, I want to ask you a few more things: is the honey badger the best pusher motor or are there better ones? With this change, can I fire 400 bullets without making a short circuit or damaging something? Is it worth putting better flywheel motors and metal flywheel cage?
And the last question: what are the best flywheel motors and flywheel cage and pusher motor?
Honey Badger is my personal favorite for the pusher, you can even use it on a 3s built if you want a real flame thrower.
Hello Sir! Are all three switches 21A?
They are, but you can use smaller switches if you cant get 21 amp.
Do you sell
I do have a shop on Etsy.com, however it's pretty bare at the moment. Hoping to get a few new blasters in it soon.
What is I send yiu a blaster
Oops what if
I do commission work, but am very backed up at the moment, so it would be a while before I can take on any more.
Where's the nerf elite 2.0 volt mod that you promised me??????????????
Still haven’t gotten my hands on one yet, when I do I’ll get a video up.
Pfff look at him with no rusted screws that take 30 min to remove cus I found mine at a yard sale in the rain
Lol, had that with my last Stampede mod, and about a every Longshot I have done in the past few years. I feel your pain my friend.
