Toruk's armory: Guardian PDW

This is a Stampede build done a few months ago.

Barricon!

This is a Barricon (a Barricade with a Recon mag well).  

I got impatient for a stockade so I put some motors from a Power strike 48 in a barricade which should be somewhat comparable. For good measure I put the mag well on cannibalizing the tommycon which was just collecting dust.

Stockade, Internals & Review

The Elite stockade will be the elite version of the barricade. At this point (9/4) it's still only available in the UK.

Here is what we All care about, the guts

 These motors are NOT the same as the hailfire or the rayven.  These are stubby and short and not the standard size motor you see in rayvens barricades or any other flyweel that I know of

RC motor/flywheel tommy 20

I gutted an RC car I found at a thrift store to make this set of flywheels.  The wheels are 2.5in in diameter.  The cool thing about big flywheels is that the linear velocity, or the speed of the outside of the wheel, is in direct proportion to the diameter.  This means that all else being equal doubling the size of the flywheel will double the the velocity of the dart.

The big flywheels along with bigger motors and running it at 12-18v got ranges of around 100ft with some going way farther and some going way shorter.  I stripped 2 gears for the full auto mech before I realized I need to just run it with a 9v and power the flys separately.

This could fire both streamlines or fathead darts.
