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.

Panther mod by MakeItGo, 110ft

This is the Buzzbee Panther.
The reason why there is interest in this cheap looking blaster  is because it is the first air tank pistol to be released in a very long time.  Air tanks mean lots of power packed into a small package.  With MiGs basic mods he is getting ranges of  110ft flat.  All credit for this goes to MakeItGo who did this mod, took the pics and vids and was good enough to allowing me put his stuff up on my blog.

I threw this together a while back.  The reason I did this was because the tommy 20  shell fits URB motors perfectly.  URB motors and flywheels are much more powerful than any nerf flywheel system so this thing packs a punch.  At 16v it was getting over 70ft with chopped streamlines.

Oddly enough since most modders don't like flywheels the most useful part of this post for other people might be the tape I leave on the blaster.  When I have blasters that need specific screws to go into specific holes I just unscrew then cover the screw port with tape so everything stays in place till its ready to be put back together.
