My latest build, a nerf firing tank. The tracks, suspension and transmissions are 3d models from makerworld , the rest is my own design. Arduino controlled, with semi and auto firing modes, laser sight, head, tail and brake lights, oled screen, rev beeper, wifi cam scavenged from a cheap drone and led muzzle flash.
55 turn motors running 3s power. Fun and challenging build..and great fun to play with.
My latest blaster project, a nerf tank.
It uses a ofd fd inverted flycore with neo Hellcats and worker flywheels it has laser sight, oled display, head, tailight and brake lights, all controlled by an arduino mega brain.. safe semi and auto modes, i even designed some overun clutches for tilt and slew.. its lots of fun.
Broke my personal best today, 454 fps!
Taloburn has put up the fight and beat xtrudex's 421 fps.
I replaced the 37mm plunger tube with a 34id plunger tube,
Made a new 11mm id straight pusher,
A 600mm long barrel, 12.6mm id which has a barrel "pocket" (breach) with oring.
Polished the internals.
Think ill be stopping at this fps level now as, the worker 1g bamboo darts are starting to suffer after one shot...
My latest build, the Xtrudex. Based losely on the chinese designed Longbow bolt action, i modified it to be a long draw pump action instead. Built for power with a 180mm draw, 33mm id plunger tube and a 300mm 2.0mm spring. Its broken my taloburns record and is currently my personal best at 421fps! Lots of work paid off today when testing..
Oh i finally made one look more toyish and nerfy and its the most powerful one i have, lol, its a bit ironic??
Also, my new larger screen fps meter, built abit stronger and now has scroll button for stats. I can program more into it but all you really need is avg, last and best dart.
My stockish red Caliburn is at 255fps with 13/600mm barrel and smaller 33id plunger...and a fly screen door closer spring.
My Taloburns now a 410! 12.6/600mm barrel 37id plunger. 9 shots where over 405 and 1 dart at 380 (wt# !??)..then i pick-up darts to see the one pictured, it lost its head!!... ohh and my curtain needs upgrading, the darts are blowing through it now and trying to wake the dead by banging on garage door 2 foot behind it...
Primes not bad with a 2.5mm x28mm diameter, 300mm long spring from alixpress... hmmm, do i try the 3mm spring? Nahhh its nerf, im not prepping for the zombie apocalypse! (yet, lol)...
