      @American Foam My cousin gave me a broken rapidstrike and I tried to fix it. When I press the rev trigger it does either nothing or gives a very weak amount of power to the motors. However when I press the pusher trigger, the motors power up to normal speed. My pushrod works normally. Can you help me with this?

  • @davidshaw2056
    @davidshaw2056 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Loved it. Brought back so many memories. My first two mods ever were rapid strikes. I used fang revamped motors on 2s and achieved an average of 140 fps. I also used a switch plate and agree it makes the job so much more simpler and easier. The paint job looks fantastic. If you want it to pop a little more the same scheme using metalic automotive paint realy makes it shine.

    I just started modding nerf blasters and modded my stryfe
    I recently bought a new rapidstrike and changed the battery to a 3s (it doesn't burn the motors) and I thought that it would work but it didn't (The darts were coming out of the blaster as if an old man was pissing and had prostrate problems)
    So I made a similar kit. Now it shoots a little slower than yours but does the job( I have a 20C 3s)
    Printed the trigger part, flywheel cage and flywheels, got the motors from an friend of mine who is an electronics shop owner.

      That happens to me sometimes in mods. I sometimes sand down a little extra plastic out of the shell surrounding the trigger. Do a very small amount at a time until the trigger operates smoothly. Also a very small amount of lithium grease or superlube never hurt either.

      Sounds like a case of runaway. The pusher sometimes continues to cycle if it’s not wired correctly OR the switches aren’t setup exactly right as far as placement into the blaster is concerned. Rapidstrikes can be a little finicky sometimes. The r/nerf subreddit has more in-depth posts on the topic I believe if you need help with yours.
