- In this video I discuss the Worker Metal Upgrade kit for the Nexus Pro. Previously I reviewed the first part of the kit but then they released a second part. I briefly cover the first part again, install the second part, chrony and accuracy test the blaster with a Turf Ceda spring.

Thanks again Brad for doing this for me!
For those wondering, the add ons are:
Cheap scope: AKblaster mod
Foregrip: Wish
Stock: Matt from Gumtree
Top rail: OOD (when I repaint, the red will go back on)
Muzzle break: Foam Pro Ship
Could you be more specific with the stock? Matt from gumtree doesnt give great google results
@@SirBrian8492 Hey mate, here in Australia there is an app called Gumtree which is similar to Craigslist. There was a guy that sold all the American and hard to get in Australia blasters on there, but he didn’t really have a webstore or anything... he just kinda became “Matt, on Gumtree”... looking now though, he doesn’t appear to be on there anymore
Can you see the name of the Forgip
@@pug_cooldog5869 Its called CQR Tactical grip 20mm guide rail handle grip on wish
@@SirBrian8492 Ive seen this stock on a few blasters and people keep being vague about it.
I have both these metal kits installed and love them! Really takes the nexus pro to the next level of feeling like a solid ass blaster!!
Wow looks dope
Yes, I'm glad you got around to it. I commented in your previous nexus pro video about this metal priming bar and plunger kit. It really makes a huge difference in the prime and amount of power you can get out of the nexus. Nothing in my main nexus is stock anymore. Foamdemic ghost 10inch brass breech, worker aluminum bar and plunger tube, worker metal pusher amd rail from other kit, foam pro shop metal trigger, and OOD 17kg ceda spring. Also workers string scar barrel. Properly sealed and tuned hits around 250-260fps after spring wore in with no flex and easy. Before the spring wore in for a few days it was up in 270s. Before I broke a nexus trying to keep it consistantly hitting just around 240fps. If you want that high of reliable power in a nexus follow that recipe. A lot of different parts costing more than the blaster but feels worth it compared to what I've spent on other blasters in the "retaliator" platform zone.
Great video as usual!
Love to know what the FPS were after the first upgrade. I have a brass barrel and a big spacer and I'm trying to decide what I want next. :)
Thank you Bradley, very cool
By part 3 it will just be a fully metal Nexus pro :) Great video as always!
Pt 4 is upgrade to gunpowder short darts.
@@anonanon8051 part 5 is just going to be a real gun
Just got the worker kits and the ak-blastermod spring in the mail yesterday.
Got it all installed, I decided to switch back to the stock plunger tube and was getting a significantly better seal compared to the metal tube.
@@matthewbecker2544 I was wondering this as well. Watched vile mods have the same issue. I have both kits coming in mail in next couple days and was curious if I should keep the stock plunger tube in.. do you think it will be durable enough to handle all the other metal parts?.
I am currently saving for all the upgrades
Quality video again! I think he had an Out of Darts printed top rail on there as well as a Thingiverse printed part that was taking the picatinny priming grip. That doesn't look like the original piece that wasn't a full picatinny rail.
I love ur vids they are sick.
The worker barrel has a beveled edge and a regular end. The beveled edge is supposed to receive the dart and the regular smooth end should shoot the dart. The bolt will not fully seat if they are swapped
Love that grip. I have it on my lynx
wheres the grip from?

@@jayro8255 thanks
@@thanatos_echo. glad to be of service
Awesome!
Luke from out of darts recommends not using the 175 tuning cap with the turf or worker upgrade spring. I gotta say I agree. Trying it out makes for a crazy prime, and feels brutal on the blaster. I assume you’re just using a smaller spacer?
I don't have any fancy internal upgrades on my nexus, but I do have a nice red dot sight from a real gun
it looks pog
Interesting, mines getting matching numbers in sometimes high with a magnus spring around the stock spring and a brass barrel, still gotta order the 2nd kit for the missus brought not built version in comparison. This has me on the fence asto the benefits of buying a 3rd nexus n doin another brought not built because the priming wiggle, was hoping for higher numbers but maybe playing with a small spacer n improving air seals on the plunger might get me there, good vid bud
If you want higher velocities I'd definitely suggest a Caliburn, Lynx or something even better than those.
I also did the both of workers upgrade kits on my nexus pro and I am having issues with air sealing it off. When I have the blaster apart I can get it air sealed but when I put the blaster together and fire a shot I lose the seal! Any help would be great
Dream blaster
We never grow up, our toys just get more advanced 🙃
From my testing, the Turf CEDA spring can get slightly better performance (avg. 223) if a tad bit of teflon is added under the o-ring to make up the difference (the metal one is about 0.3mm larger ID from stock). I think it could greatly benefit from a slightly larger o-ring. What I also found interesting, the AKBM spring with a 1" spacer got me the exact same performance as the CEDA spring (avg. 223) with a much lighter prime.
One thing I just found out when opening the blaster after installing this kit, the priming block w/picatinny has very sharp corners that will start to shave/cut the plastic. Opened the blaster and had a bunch of shavings all up and down the barrel shroud.
Another issue you may have, the trigger lock can also get nicked by the sharp corners of the priming bar and cause the prime to get caught on the ramp for the lock. This is assuming you haven't removed the lock so you can de-prime the blaster.
I'll have to suggest these things to the owner of the blaster. I had heard Teflon helps a little but personally if you're going to sell a drop in kit it should be just that so didn't use any for my testing.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Yep, I totally agree. Worker has sent out different o-rings with spring upgrades before to help with sealing so don't know why they don't do it with any of the Nexus parts, don't even see one with their spring upgrade. I'm actually dropping the stock plunger tube back in since it has much better sealing to test the AKBM spring vs. Foam Pro Shops spring.
@@VileMods - When you say AKBM Spring - are you referring to the AKBM Ceda Spring?
@@albey1816 No, AKBM now has a 12KG Nexus spring available. It technically could fit in a Ceda but I'm not sure if it's the same length or not? Maybe it's just pulled from their Ceda springs but without one to compare it I have no idea.
@@VileMods Where can i get the spring and spacer bc i have both kits and a ceda in my nexus and it has to hard of a prime to use for a day.
its a pity that you cant do hpa in SA would love to see a review of a MilSig M79
I have both metal kits and I have yet to get the hold your thumb over the barrel when you dry fire pop as far as an air seal goes. Any tips? I don’t know where else to seal.
Got my nexus to about 250fps with turf spring and 12 inch brass barrel. Had to reinforce priming bar with epoxy, metal one would be nice
Could definitely pick and choose which parts you use from the kit
Very cool video. Wish that worker had removed the comparability with full, would remove the slack
Agreed
Nah, I‘m happy they included it, my local events give you the darts and they only have full lenghts
Surprised you got the performance you did with the lack of plunger head seal. I had to mess with my seal to get those FPS readings
Yeah I saw some others had Teflon taped theirs. Thought I'd give it a go without
I have a question what is the best scope to get for this blaster in your opinion?
Another excellent article. Thank you very much. How does this compare with the Sabre, please?
Not even close
Will the metal catch wear down the plastic plunger head over time?
What kinda of fore grip is that? Rear stock looks like just an real steel AR style stock? Seems to perform similarly to the swift, just a lower FPS, harder prime.
I put both parts of the kit on my nexus and when I fire it, the dart won't even leave the barrel. I even have a spacer on the spring. Do you have any suggestions?
If i used the turf ceda spring and only the metal kit part 1 how well would it work
Total price with both metal kits and gun would be about the same price or more than the Lynx correct? And the Lynx outperforms
might need to get a better O-Ring for a better seal
The grip looks cool tho
Also wondering if you plan to do a review on other 3d printed nerf sidearms such as the gecko, zinc and scamp
Perhaps if one of the designers offers to send one over, but so far my next 3D printed blaster is a Lynx.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT i see, cant wait for the review
with all the upgrades can it still shoot adventure force full length darts
What does it get with the pre compressed stock spring.
What would the FPS be without the Turf Ceda Spring be? Thanks
Do scar barrels inherently place a torsional torque on darts that they will drift to the left or right depending on how the rifling pattern is inside the scar barrel? Can they be zeroed in by using laser or red/green dot sights? Thanks. Yosh.
I haven't noticed then drift left or right based on the scar barrel. Generally wind is what causes that. But you can definitely zero your blaster with a red dot sight.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT
I've only been able to compare a scar from FranzFoamWorks and a free one from Thingiverse. I guess our school's gym A/C system and room humidity had adverse affects on the half length AF Pro darts I was flinging at 15 meters with my 135+ FPS Nexus. Any recommendations on a red/green dot that is affordable, with quick release pinatinny clamps, and knobs to easily adjust windage and elevation levels? Thanks again.
Where did you get the assessors on the nexus pro?
So strange that they give you a metal mag release (something modders often ignore) and not a metal trigger instead. Far as I know, Drac is the only one to sell metal triggers for the Nexus.
Does anyone else get wobble in their AR style stock on their nexus? Is that common?
Nice video Bradley, what’s the kg rating of the tuff ceda spring please
I think 14kg
Trying to decide between the nexus pro and the stryker. The stryker seems to hit harder stock, and looks better. But can the nexus be modded above and beyond the stryker's mod capabilities? Trying to get the most bang for buck.
They're basically the same blaster
Brad is the hardcore nerfer all the other is talking about
Would you recommend using a spacer with the turf spring or the worker spring?
It will become ridiculously hard to operate. If you want higher power, this isn't the blaster for it.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT yeah that’s what I thought, I have a swift on the way for that very reason (using the promo code Brad of course). I’ve done everything I can but still haven’t got the finger over the barrel *POP* air seal which is quite frustrating. Any tips? Thanks
So when I installed this upgrade kit to my nexus pro my FPS dropped to like 80. I have the first kit installed and had no issue but when I installed this it dropped to 80. Any help would be great
Check the air seal on the barrel to breech interface.
Where to buy the grid and butt stock? Any link?
Hey could you tell me where I could get the scope or a drum mag thats compatible with the gun
Check the pinned comment
@@BradleyPhillipsYT thanks
Where did you get that handle
I've installed both metal kits but the prime feels unsmooth, the telescoping peice has a fair bit of friction and the bolt head is pretty hard to insert, should I get some lubricant for the O-Rings?
Yes you should definitely lubricate the o'rings
Used some tube grease and now it feels like butter, thanks for the tip!
Where did he get that foregrip?
13:01 did u just dry fire it :o
Wth... 207 with next pro is very good performance ~~~
Very cost efficient build!
I got better than that with the same spring and a little glue, this whole thing really is just a durability upgrade more than anything
Have a link to that foregrip?
Looks really sleek.
According to the owner of the blaster it's from Wish
Would the be better with a brass barrel instead?
You could use brass but would have to not use a few of these parts
my front handle snaped is there enny whare i can buy a new one
The grip? Any grip that fits a picatinny rail should work
Does the part 2 kit need the 1st kit to work?
Yes
There needs to have a metal piston.
Will this internals kit work with a brass barrel?
I don't think so unless you flare the brass since the pusher seals inside it
@@BradleyPhillipsYT okay, thank you!
He apparently really loves bullying full length darts ,and passive aggressively telling us who use both dart types we are inferior lmao.
All jokes tho. Great video
Double length peasant 😉
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Yea well even then i can get 220 out of a k25 caliburn with random waffles and still be precise so thats good enough for me lol
@@BradleyPhillipsYT flywheelers, kids, new nerfers be like: ;I
White plastic piece goes on the post for the mag release 9:48
Hmm, what purpose does it serve?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT not sure but drac had several of them on the screw posts for his hex grip he said it’s to have less slop and to center it.
Well he doesn’t explicitly say that but that appears to be the purpose, plus I saw someone else put it there.
@@eveangreen1871 Can confirm it centers the mag release. White piece goes underneath the mag release.
Where do I get that foregrip?
Amazon or eBay are probably your best bets or maybe an Airsoft store like Evike
better not lube things that should hold on to each other. You lube the rings or the finished seal, never the parts that pressfit or screw onto each other cause it does the opposite: it reduces friction
Moist
where is the metal plunger piston on a $60 dollar kit epic fail send it out for free
I dont like the aesthetic of the Nexus, i looks fugly to me.
