Could you please release a public wiring diagram to allow us to mod our regulators too? I've taken out all that I think was unnecessary but I am not a good electrician. I follow tutorials that you and other modders post online. If you could really draw up a simple diagram for us it would help me a ton. Thanks, much love, nerf out
Kinda disappointed in this video Drac you cut out a lot of the work that seems easy to you but on a complicated blaster like this, I feel like including every part is crucial
please keep us updated, if the circuit can maintain the power of a 2S ofer a longer period of time. would say a day at a SENC war would be enough testing ;)
How many of you watching this realize the level of skill and intelligence you are witnessing? And that ability coupled with the confidence to be the first to take on such a task only adds to it. I teach engineering and can tell you it is impressive.
Surprisingly as this hobby has grown more and more, this is becoming a very common skill amungst us modders. Once you figure out volatage, amperage, simple positive and negative wiring, and finding balace between the motors and the battery, it all comes together and becomes rather simple. In all honesty what drac did with the Regulator here is rather simple. Other builds with full rewires are much more complex. I do agree it's impressive though, 2 years ago and I would've been blown away by this, but now it's just simple to me.
What happens if you use the cantilever flywheel with the accu strike darts. Will it add the the accuracy to the darts over a longer period of time and range? Will it in theory add more spin to the dart? I hope you make a video on this drac.
Probably doesnt help much with accustrike darts they are already plently good. Canted cages do put a spin on the dart this is incredibly basic stuff they have been using the same tech to do this on american football pitching machines for a long time now. FDS isnt a god he makes mistakes too so please dont just take his word as gospel and do your own testing.
The spin is too minuscule to make a difference, there are multiple videos comparing the 2 cages, extremely identical with the canted cage having less range, power and fps
Many years later, how did this mod hold up? I’ve heard the Regulator boards were notorious for frying under the 2s, which is the only thing that has stopped me from cracking mine open, worried I’ll scrap it.
Dear Drac, I watched this video about 48 times before I worked up the courage to venture into my own Regulator mod. Well I failed miserably. I persevered and trudged thru. I feel like I could have avoided a couple hickups with your mod guide..... but it was incomplete. I managed to overcome and surmount the mountain, but wish I had a little more guidance along the journey. I recorded a video of my failure in hopes to help another avoid the catastrophe i encountered. I love your channel and watch it daily, but please help us unlock the Regulators true potential. Sincerely, A fan and brand new modder
Don’t get rid of the small circuit board near the jam door lock it’s really important, I just took it out of mine and the blaster wouldn’t work so I had to put it back in
Rewired one myself using this as a tutorial for the majority (and as background noise) seems to work still and am planning to make it a bullpup mod too :D
hey drac could you make guides on buying the right [insert type of part needed for a mod (flywheel cage, motors, etc, etc)] and make it a series, because it would greatly help beginers like me with help formulating our parts lists
$60 USD MSRP. Only $10 more than the Hyperfire. Regulator comes with a bunch of plastic attachments; it's a better deal for consumers. $10 more than the ECS-10, but it has select fire. The Regulator more or less replaces both in Nerf's line up. Barring personal preferences, what's not to like? If someone doesn't want the attachments, mags, extra darts and select fire, buy a $20 Stryfe. Modded performance on the 2S LiPo seemed comparable to 2x18650 LiIon performance with stock wiring, but it works.
The answer on whether a Regulator is worth it or not goes from "Yes" to "HELL YES" when you catch it on sale for almost half off. ... Yes. I did literally shout "Hell yes!" in the middle of a Target when I spotted the one I bought on sale.
So we don't need to replace the switches? If I'm reading this correctly, just replace the motors and remove the circuit boards from the motors and bypass the locks?
Alright, so what I got from this was that the flywheels are completely separate from the switch fire mechanism, which means that you can boost the flywheels as much as you want, but have to rig some sort of second circuit to increase the power. The feeder, you can't do much.
hay drac did you keep the jam and mag lock wires connected? did you replace the switches? did you replace the battery wiring or solder the xt 60 right on the gray and black wires?
The board you removed from the feeding motor, what is it purpose? When removed, does it increase feeding speed? The reason I ask, I have a nstrike hyperfire which isnt getting it is 5 rounds/min. So, I wanted to modify it in a simple manner. Anything I can do to increase feeding rate (i.e. remove the board on the feeding motor, does it add resistance?)
Drac, this is kind of a personal question so don't be afraid to just say that you'd rather not say. I'm curious, how do you afford all of these blasters? Do you have a job or do you make enough off of your modified blaster auctions?
ItalianJackAttack he makes revenue off of UA-cam, and as well as occasionally selling his moddified blasters he makes in some of his tutorials. Beyond that, alot of things are sent to him by either friends, fans, or companies to review products so they can gain popularity more quickly in this Community.
Drac, where is the thermistor located in the regulator? I don't want to fuss around, I'l like to just locate it, solder it and call it a day. Any help would be appreciated. I saw your board pics on Reddit but couldn't find a definitive location....
Could I use a pair of out of darts valkyrie Motors and a worker 3s 550 mah lipo in on of these. I don’t want to spend the money on all of that and burn everything out
At this point, I wonder if it's really worth buying this thing and upgrading it, vs. coding an arduino chip with one of the rapidstrike programs already available. An arduino is not expensive, and the code has already been worked out by others.

Did you ever screw the motors in? I’m having issues with mine, the FPS is atrociously inconsistent and well below the ones i’ve seen online (it goes from 55FPS to 92FPS max) even though it was wired very similarly to yours
shadowsa2b it shouldn't affect anything, just solder the wires connected to it together to complete the circuit. If something goes wrong, simply de-solder the wire and solder the wire back up to where it was originally.
Selena Gamya I've seen people make full select fire Rayvens before, but they didn't have anything to do with the Regulator. The parts in the Regulator are wayy different in size and how they fit to go into a Rayven, but I'd love to see it done. But I'd guess a big probably not. There are luckily other ways of getting a select fire Rayven though, just take a look around UA-cam and the rest of the internet, I'm sure someone will have some advice on where to start.
Michael 352411 yes the stock wiring and board takes a 2s lipo perfectly, as long as you're not replacing the motors with anything higher than the meishel motors. I swapped to fang revamped and the board fried
I’ve heard the select-fire kits for other blasters are riddled with issues and aren’t reliable, though. Has that changed? I really only cling to this one for the select fire, would love an alternative if they’ve worked out the bugs.
@@aetherwise2159 I’m sure they have by now, it also depends on who you buy it from, and how it’s made. Some kits are more money, but are built with aluminum and such and better wiring, then some people make them with 3D prints and such which tend to degrade and such overtime. It depends. If you’re not into super sweaty nerf tournaments then I’d say the nerf brand version like this one is fine.

Its not an anode and a cathode for the battery tray. They are the components you use in electrolysis. They are the positive and negative wires.
Kinda disappointed in this video Drac you cut out a lot of the work that seems easy to you but on a complicated blaster like this, I feel like including every part is crucial
Yeah it would be great if he included it😕
Lot quieter than I thought the flywheels would be. But those Meishel motors are pretty sweet.
please keep us updated, if the circuit can maintain the power of a 2S ofer a longer period of time. would say a day at a SENC war would be enough testing ;)

Shu Kurenai funnily enough, it's still the only one that kept the stock selector afaik.
Eeeeewwww transistors and shit
One motor is tilted slightly to "rifle" the darts
Does anyone remember when drac did a face reveal?!
Reviloc John cena? yeah, that was pretty creative for the time
Reviloc I
The good old days
Sadly 😆
Great tutorial! Best quality I've seen from you yet!
What happens if you use the cantilever flywheel with the accu strike darts. Will it add the the accuracy to the darts over a longer period of time and range? Will it in theory add more spin to the dart? I hope you make a video on this drac.
Steven Nguyen You sir must go to the top of the comment section.
Canted cages do nothing
"Spin=Cock" -FDS
Probably doesnt help much with accustrike darts they are already plently good.

have to do it..... ITS A JOLT RE SKIN...... I love select fire real steel fire arms so I hope I like this when I get one
Wrong channel dudebro.
@@Joseph_Stalin5 yeh ok scrub
Love your work. I wish I could mod like you. You inspire me to work hard at what you love.i really wonton a good mod an a nerf blaster. 😀😀💪💪
Many years later, how did this mod hold up? I’ve heard the Regulator boards were notorious for frying under the 2s, which is the only thing that has stopped me from cracking mine open, worried I’ll scrap it.
How long did it last. Everyone I have talked too that did this the board fried very quickly some got a month or two.

Hey drac thank you soo much for making Endwar a thing it was worth the 12 hour drive and I can't wait for the next one
Could you take some pics and show us what you shorted and how you wired it back together?
for removing flywheels, boit the kettle/jug and use the steam to warm the plastics.
Hope this helps
Rewired one myself using this as a tutorial for the majority (and as background noise) seems to work still and am planning to make it a bullpup mod too :D
Just found out that you can fit the regulator handle grip barrel extension can fit in the half moon hole in the stock
hey drac could you make guides on buying the right [insert type of part needed for a mod (flywheel cage, motors, etc, etc)] and make it a series, because it would greatly help beginers like me with help formulating our parts lists
TriggerHappyTaco Gaming I can help
Why not isolate the lower voltages circuit and regulate power to that board? Then you could provide more voltage to the pusher and flywheels.

I put a couple of those x3 AAA battery holders from flashlights in mine 👍
Now THIS is the real content I subscribed to this channel for!
hay drac did you keep the jam and mag lock wires connected? did you replace the switches? did you replace the battery wiring or solder the xt 60 right on the gray and black wires?
I'm curious if a hyperfire dr snikkas cage will fit in the regulator...
just curious.... why not a 3s lipos? im thinking the 2s is not much more than stock?
some 12v motors and a 6v BEC for the light and whatnot?
Sad 😢 I pulled out the ir sensor do u know were to get a replacmint part

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these
Drac, the angled flywheel cage spins the dart and makes it more accurate! It is not completely usless
With the new board from nfstrike out last year do you plan to do a re-mod of a regulator? or plan to test it?
Vid idea make the worlds smallest flywheel blaster u have done it in this vid
Nick LMSG XD it was like a breach loaded flywheel

Lots of screwing around LOL NICE ONE DRAC!
What kind of switches does this gun use? Stock trigger etc? How durable is this setup with motor, wiring n switches etc?
Drac, where is the thermistor located in the regulator? I don't want to fuss around, I'l like to just locate it, solder it and call it a day. Any help would be appreciated. I saw your board pics on Reddit but couldn't find a definitive location....
you think you could replace the Ir beams with micro switches?
Drac, may I ask, are all vampires that big? Most humans don't reach that much mass for a living existence
drac you should put something like a srtyfe in to a supersoaker shell
halo 727 or into a deploy shell
Nice vid drac I subscribed and liked the vid!
Could I use a pair of out of darts valkyrie Motors and a worker 3s 550 mah lipo in on of these. I don’t want to spend the money on all of that and burn everything out
I have been looking forward to this!
At this point, I wonder if it's really worth buying this thing and upgrading it, vs. coding an arduino chip with one of the rapidstrike programs already available. An arduino is not expensive, and the code has already been worked out by others.
Is that similar to the stockade with its board
Woohoo! Thanks for posting this!!
Do u have to replace the switches with high amp micro switches or can u keep the old ones

Im going to buy one and i heard some stuff about it jamming a lot.. what should i do?
Edit: bought one anyways, never jams. Its a great blaster
the rate of fire with the 3 round burst is almost as fast as the EE-3 in star wars battlefront
why there is no more backgrond song, drac?
if you disconnect the indicator light, would that effect or hamper any other circuit? couldnt that just be bypassed and/or removed?
shadowsa2b it shouldn't affect anything, just solder the wires connected to it together to complete the circuit.
If something goes wrong, simply de-solder the wire and solder the wire back up to where it was originally.
You need to put a stryfe in a deploy shell. Instant troll at nerf wars. :)
Or a minimized titan that shoots elites
I love this thing! I'm honestly afraid to open it!
So its just a Hyperfire with select-fire?
Would it be possible to put the Regulator's select-fire functionality inside, say, a Rayven?
Selena Gamya I've seen people make full select fire Rayvens before, but they didn't have anything to do with the Regulator.
The parts in the Regulator are wayy different in size and how they fit to go into a Rayven, but I'd love to see it done. But I'd guess a big probably not.

I was wondering if the regulator has a thermistor I was planning to put IMRs in it and I didn't want to shut it off
there are two. one directly attached to the battery bay and a second put by the flywheels
And can you just put 2 imr on it, and just remove the thermistors, without rewiring? Will it work fine?
you should find a way to put an n-strike barrel on the Desolator
3DPrinted Solid has an attachemnt piece already made
Can a Regulator core fit into a Strife or Modulus body?
Could I just take the battery tray out and put a small 2s LiPo battery in there place with the electronics stock
Michael 352411 yes the stock wiring and board takes a 2s lipo perfectly, as long as you're not replacing the motors with anything higher than the meishel motors. I swapped to fang revamped and the board fried
FINALLY! this is what i've been waiting for! now if i could get a regulator :(
where do you get them I live in Canada too I want it if I can get it
Batman rocks Drac lives in Georgia, hasbro sent it to him. It's coming out in August if I remember correctly.
you say keeping it stock doesnt make sense. what if you broke a gun trying to put it back together?
+ it was a buzzbee tek 6 x
Dear lord drac I was thinking of starting a nerf modding club in Nz except I don't know how mod nerf guns. Can you help
Hey drac could you do a modded regulator vs stock regulator vid?
That would be cool.
getting regulator in August going to Canada #hype
Could you put this in a stryfe
Regulator and rayven /rayvenfire integration?
i spent 6 bucks on it
plus it came with a stock and magazine
when will the alphahawk mod guide come out?
not worth modding
You're so punny Drac!
why don't you make a uzi compression version
Dear Drac my regulator is getting terrible ranges and when I put the mag in the flywheels start to go and I don’t press the button! Please help!
JP Films what do you mean does it fire on it it's own?
Never mind I traded it in and I got my money back
Do you still do commisions
can you take the board from the regulator and put it in a stryfe
or a rapid strike
i don't think it would fit
Make some sort of exotic pulse rifle red death or bad juju
Do you do commissions?
When you realize you can just buy mod kits to make any blaster basically an all in one blaster instead of needing to mod this one lol.
I’ve heard the select-fire kits for other blasters are riddled with issues and aren’t reliable, though. Has that changed? I really only cling to this one for the select fire, would love an alternative if they’ve worked out the bugs.

It is £30 in England I didn’t know they didn’t make much of them
Can you use worker flywheels
$50 "is a ton of money" he sais. Oh god if I told him I own a yoyo that costs $150usd second hand hahaha😂.
what kind of yoyo? I have a Dark Magic 2 myself.
What exactly does the board on the flywheels do
It is a motor driver, it powers the motors with regulated power and stars them up with less power so they don’t use as much power at startup.
could you put regulator internals in to a stryfe
Marcus storm probably too big
You definitely got fans up in Ohio Drac
Are those stock flywheel motors 180 sized?
stock nerf motors are always 130 size except for the rival blasters
Are you change the battery, isn't?
Why not use imr battry
Why dose my regulator jam so much even with new darts
DRAC i hace a special project if you want yo do it
the project is, pick a stryfe and make a double flywheel for the dart #morepower
2 stage flywheel blasters have been done already
Heck, I've seen 3 stage brushless flywheel blasters done.
is it in aust?
