Adventure Force / Dart Zone Spectrum Modifications

large_preview_SPECTRUM_MODS_COMPLETE_-_M

Just finished up a full week of development work and 60+hours of printing, testing and iterating, but the results are definitely worth it! Custom designed parts include:

  • 3D printed muzzle delete
  • 3D printed DZ rail
  • 3D printed flywheel cage – custom for Spectrum
  • 3D printed concave “high crush” flywheels
  • 3D printed battery tray for 900mAh 60C LiPo
  • 3D printed DZ to buffer tube adapter
  • 3D Printed motor cover (for 180 motors) – not required for 130 motors

Community parts:

Other mods include:

  • 180 Motor upgrade
  • 900mAh LiPo 60C 2S pack with XT-60 connector
  • Omron clone flywheel switch
  • Rewire with dual 16AWG

Overall everything went together really well, and this is an excellent platform for getting incredible performance at bargain basement prices! The blaster costs ~$20USD here in Canada, the motors cost $2 each, the LiPo pack was $11, the switch was $2 and the wire was what I had laying around. The rest of the parts are all 3D printed and probably a total of $10 worth of material. So for less than $50 you can have a full-blown 130FPS+ high-accuracy LiPo-powered flywheel blaster that largely retains the stock looks.

The purpose of this project was to “democratize” a high performance readily available flywheel semi-auto blaster platform that could be built by anyone with a 3D printer and $50 to burn. My small contribution to a great community of builders, tinkerers, engineers, dreamers, artists and otherwise handy folks. Thanks to all!
