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.

 A bit of a write up after the jump.

 A bit of a write up after the jump.

The first thing I did was pry off the flywheels from the motors.  They come off easier than you'd think with just a little bit of work with a screwdriver as a lever.  I popped the wheels off the motors of the barricade, PS 48, and tommy 20.  I  put the wheels of the tommy 20 on the ps 48 motors.  You need to grind down the barricade housing a bit here to get the bigger wheels to fit.  The bigger wheels are needed to grip the smaller heads of the streamlines.  The reason why I used PS 48 motors is because pre-elite the PS 48 motors put other flywheel blasters to shame.  than the nomral cut and fit test, repeat that is done over and over when combining shells like this there were a few more things that needed to be done to make this work.

 I just twisted the thermistor so the leads touched and it was no longer a factor in the circuit.
Its a super lazy way of doing it but it works.

 Here is what the trigger and pusher look like.  If i remember I did end up grinding down the extra plastic  nub on the pusher a bit to tweek it.

Here is a closer look at some of the spots you have to grind out to increase the trigger draw and extend the travel of the dart pusher to accommodate the clip









11.8v  I tried a variety but noticed that voltage over 12ish didn't really result in a big range increase.  Since this fits the stock battery try I just stuck with it.
