The Questions Thread.

Hey guys,
Basically my stampede will fire 1 dart or 2 darts before the plunger tube (or whatever) starts to not move all the way forward. The problem could lie in this piece which popped out during modding and I can't find where it goes. But I think it's somewhere in the front barrel assembly. I've tested all of the wiring and it's all good, running off of a smaller 12v SLA battery. It has all the standard mods with a triple shot spring replacement.

Piece that popped out:

Hey guys just wondering if the hydro cannon is banned from wars

thanks

If the titan is banned in the sydney wars, the hc is definatly banned.

Ahh ok then i wont get one.

@Nacho Taco.

I think I know what the problem maybe. Did you have to force your triple shot spring into the plunger tube? Or it wouldn't slide right in without any assistance.

The plunger diameter maybe a bit smaller than usual due to inconsistency of manufacturing.

Ahhh, yes it was a bit of a tight fit. And that would be a problem because the spring would scrape up all of the lube. Any other reasons it would be a problem?

What could I use to extend my nfs plunger rod? I've been trying to find some PVC rods but so far had no luck.

Aluminium extrusions.
You can get them in U and square cross-sections, from Bunnings.

Where Can I find a strong catch spring that will hold up to a C-836 in a Switch Shot?

Clicky pen springs have proven good to me once doubled up with the original catch spring. You'll need to experiment with a few before you get a good fit though.

if you got a ls, take a spring from behind the nub in the stock that keeps the clips in.

Hey just wanted to ask, for the Big Bad Bow, is a inline clip better or an rscb?. also how do you make an inline clilp?

To be honest, neither. You'll only get around 70ft max with those two. Try turreting it, or using a speed loader, or a singled breech. There's no deadspace to work with so it ^ the range.

An inline is essentially 20mm with your barrel glued to the very front of it.

Just wanted to ask, what is the difference between 20mm orange conduit and 20mm grey conduit?

20mm orange conduit has a smaller id, so 16mm conduit dosen't fit into it.
Petg works well in the 20mm orange though.

Is it okay to not wash the shell of the blaster after sanding? Instead I've been using the vacuum to clean the shell after.

Not really, cause a vacuum cleaner can't clean the grease off the shell.
Plus sanding it gives the shell more surface area to cling onto.

Can you use a C 836 spring in switch shot?

Yes.

Will it cause dammage?


Also as you probably know Im attemping to revive an old Switch Shot but some how the priming thingy (the little triangle that you put your finger through) broke off the actual rod, I tried ALOT of epoxy broke, expoxy and screw broke, and now im a little cluelesss so any ideas?

drill a hole near the end and add a keyring

Yes, a c836 will cause damage to your blaster. It's a fact of modding, get used to it.

If you're that desperate, you can get some alu rod, and make a new plunger rod out of that.

For those who have opened the Praxis, does anyone know what bit this is? I pulled it apart the other day and when I got the internals out this part fell out. I can't figure out where it goes because when I put the blaster back together it fires fine. (Although it does seem to be weaker even though I re-positioned the spring)

Have you checked Sgnerf's internals guide? It is very informative

Yeah I haven't been able to see it, I think it's something really inside it because it didn't fall out until I had unscrewed and remove the area with the spring. It doesn't help that all parts blend in so well together.

Went great thanks for the idea evozn but Im scared that the plastic may snap, will it ? considering there is so little plastic. If it will can I reinforce it somehow?

It won't break, but if you feel the need add some hot glue or epoxy.

Hey guys, does Bunnings sell aluminium sheeting for LS blotsled reinforcements? If so, where can I find it?

They sure do. The come in 600mmx900mm sizes though and cost I think $15.80 for a sheet. However, you can make at least I think maybe 15 of these sleds.

I can't remember which section, but I think they're in the aluminium tubing section. Ask the staff if you're unsure.

Hobby stores will have much smaller sections along with brass, nylon rods and other assorted nerfing goods.

Thanks guys, I might have to drop by a hobby store then, the $15.80 sounds a bit expensive for me, unless they might be able to cut it to a smaller size, which I doubt.

If you ask the right person, they usually cut things down to size for you free of charge.

I myself have had things cut to size here and there over the years.

By the way im sorry if have posted this wrongly, so please tell me how to improve posting, as i am brand new to forums, my question is, has anyone actually tried to make an rscb clip for the hand cannon but with the original ammo?

I just use a $2 aluminium dinner plate from an Asian gift shop.
It's a bit harder to work with, as the sheet metal that I carved out of it, is more than 1.2mm thick.
