I really like this platform, hopefully you guys dig it as well! Our kits can be purchased at: foamproshop.com/search?q=MkIII if you wanna support the craft and help me buy a replacement Mk3 XD.
Hey drac I need some help if you could please reply so I got my dz mk3 for Christmas and as you can imagine I was absolutely excited I used it for hours and by the next day the Rev trigger wasn't working all the time and eventually it stopped I was super sad but had it returned just recently I got a new one and the same issue has happened do you think you could tell me a way to replace the part or something simalr
@@thefoxsinofgreed-ban6729 Did you ever find a solution? My MK3 just broke today. Same issue. No rev up at all. I emailed Dart Zone and they are sending me a replacement rev switch for the inside but I have no clue how to switch out the wires for it
Mad props to Drac and the team for bringing parts to market so quickly, and even more so for laughing at the YT algorithm and producing a mod guide in 2021.
This video is a bit Icarus of you Drac, narrativly I'd say including the portion of the video at the beginning where you say "I don't think I'm gonna mod the pusher system" to "I upgraded the motor off camera" to final results was masterful foreshadowing
Hey this is one of the reasons I follow you,.....honesty. we can't all win first time at bat, and that is a service for the fans to know what can and cannot be done to save people the hassle. So great job over all, that front barrel set is hot as I wasn't digging the triangle barrel. Paint scheme with the pic's ...brilliant. keep on doing what your doing so many of us totally dig it.
This is why I watch Drac, even as a dart zone fanboy (I think we all are now) he's still objective and honest about limitations and actually put a critical failure on his part and the blasters part in the film. Mad respect for that my friend, so impressed.
As usual, excellent mod guide. Couldn’t help notice your epic watch. A Rolex milgauss with blue dial, reference number 116400GV, if I’m not mistaken. Nice to see someone appreciate something other than a datejust or Daytona. Well played sir, well played.
I love your mod guides. Despite the fact that I don't do electronic modifications, and am passing on the Mark III all together, I still love the knowledge you share...the Bubblebee theme looks great👍
This was great, that's the first video I've seen a fail in but I can tell you just pushed it barely over the limit. Great that you caught that on your video, now we all know the limits. Jist picked this blaster up for 30 bucks as my first flywheel blaster and I am pretty happy to learn on it. Love your paint job, btw. Thanks!
I feel bad that i laughed at the tinkers look you gave it. That 'WHELP. I dun broke it. How?' look. Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. We've all done it at one point. Be glad its on something hobby related, and not super important.
Would it be possible to 3d print a replacement bit for the one that broke, one with some channels built in that you could slot in some small metal rods to reinforce it?
As much as I love your reviews I appreciate your modding videos more. I like to see other people work and get new info on how I can improve on my modding skills. Thank you for this video and hopefully to see more modding videos 😎👍
Um ACKCHUALLY, the motors and shell are passively cooled since there isn't energy being used specifically to cool the parts. This video is unwatchable now how dare you. I thought you were an engineer or something. Can't wait to mod my MK3s out- such a fun blaster. And that shell 🤌🤌
Ho dang, u rite. What if Im the machine and me running full speed towards the other team is what pushes air over the motors? What if I wake up tomorrow and it was all just a foamy dream.
Imagine making an honest mistake but you're so narcissistic that you fixate on it for two months then reference it in a new video to make a bad joke attacking viewer comments.
My only "problem" with this blaster is the RoF. Hopefully there's some beefier PLA parts we can use when we get to beef it up to support a faster pusher motor.
I'm not a nerf expert, frankly I'm quiet new to the hobby. However, when I look at that thin piece when you open the blaster had me thinking is that thin piece strong enough for the thrower arm? Nice honest review man, this is why i enjoy watching your reviews.
I will say I love the upgrades but I might not even need the talon fix. I just recieved mine and it seems to take talons just fine (stock) so I'm quite relieved. I wonder if it may have been an early production thing. Never the less, good upgrades!
After all the rate of fire complaints this is the fix I figured someone would do. kind of a shame it didnt pan out I really thought it would be a simple swap like what drac did. but more innovation will come. maybe someone will come out with a whole drop in box for the pusher. lots of room.
What's the use of shorting the capacitor? With a lipo, it probably won't make a difference, but the capacitor should, if anything, speed up the motor's revving, meaning less trigger delay on full auto
might I suggest, for the mag adapter, a double paddle. the one that you made originally, and one that resembels the original, the one that came with the blaster, in 1 mag release. so that you can either use your off hand and grab the release with your thumb, OR use your middle finger.
Even though the ramp that comes with the Bits Kit works just fine, I'm kinda surprised you didn't at least briefly mention the DIY fix of cutting a slot in the pusher rails where the Talon's feed lips sit. All you need is a pair of wire cutters, and you'll never see the difference from the outside since the shell completely hides it.
What about an upgraded linkage? Definitely not interested in this if I can’t ramp up the full auto. Might as well use a modded Stryfe or Rapidstrike. Want to be excited, but not yet.
hey drac nice mod, I loved it hope you will fix it soon and show it off to us again I was modding my Disruptor and it broke and now I am really sad. So can you pls make a mod guide on the Disruptor
My guess is you might be able to use the phoenix if you get a thicker aluminium version of the Bart part. But then again, I'm not a mechanic and something else will probably go wrong.
I keep calling my bobo rev trigger on my stryfe the BABABOOEY And I have a question, is full auto gear pushed better then say the rapidstryke system? I feel like the rapidstryke system would hold up longer.
These are some super cool mods you have made! I really like your printed muzzle and switch, although I'm not sure how the new mag release would work if you try to use it with the hand you're taking the mag out with? I also really like how the forwards draft of the stock almost reflects the aesthetic of the foregrip. Nice paintjob too! Thanks so much for sharing this mod guide Drac! 🧡💛💜
Dang, I just bought the Mk3 and I keep hitting the magazine release. I wanted to get the bits but the shipping is extremely expensive to where I live. Shipping cost is double of the bits which is $9 usd. Overall I am happy with the stock settings but that's the only thing I want to change.
Great video makes me even more happy with the stock performance all I need for mine is the lipo off your store and I'm good to go!! Currently running 4 worker 3.2v lifepo and 4 dummys and I'm getting great performance
@@UwwBlake it's what I run in all my flywheels beside my rival blasters which are all on 9.6vnimh airsoft batteries but the advantage is no modding and they pop right in any aa powered blaster and boost the performance normally I run 3 which is 9.6v and however many dummys needed to fill the tray of said blaster but with the mk3 already running 12v stock I run 4 of them so 12.8v and the main benefit is having rechargeable batteries and boost in performance I will be getting a 3s lipo for my mk3 but I don't have one as of now and already had a bunch of these and dummys
or you could make that linkage out of a stronger material? I'm personally not a fan of the battery powered blasters so i'l stick with my nexus and conquest, thanks... (i prefer the classic pnematic) Still great that dart zone is making a blaster for almost anyone....
Enamel paint in a vessel and then microbrushing. Its less clean than taping off things but lets you use capillary action to get precise and it can be much faster if done right
@@LordDraconical Cheers! Thanks! I’ll have to try that out myself! I hate masking just because it takes forever and I think this might work better for me.
The first batch of batteries shipped without them because we hadnt developed them yet. My appologies. If you order anything else, throw in a note and we’ll include a free patch to make it up to you!
Honestly, I am kind of surprised that a solution wasnt found to MAKE this work. I would love to see a solution to fix this pusher issue so that it COULD be used at 6 darts a second.
The problem with the cage swap is it's an effective downgrade for half lengths. Also, most of the parts in the pusher system look very weak. If you want a high performance semi auto, the MK3 is a great choice, but if you want an all out mod blaster, just grab a Stryfe or the like.

Now all he needs, is to release his own performance flywheeler and hopefully a springer sidearm

Love this vibes of this video, great music, good energy, making me nostalgic about the early 2000’s mod guides
Well, now I know what else I'm going to cast in metal when my mk3 arrives.

Loved this video and now I can support everyone's favorite foam flinging vampire
That muzzle, love it. May actually pick up a mk3 now
I was right you based the blaster on Bee from Transformers.
Love to see the trial and error process! You can’t find the limit until you break something! And yes, better you than me. Thanks!
Would it be possible to 3d print a replacement bit for the one that broke, one with some channels built in that you could slot in some small metal rods to reinforce it?
Wow your barrel is so much better looking, it makes the whole blaster look so much nicer.
That nosepiece. It almost looks like there's room to add an IR sensor for an ammo counter. Just have to drill a hole into the side.
I loved this video. The final bit you look like you're biting back tears and it hurts my soul.
Love the return to proper mod guide content. Keep it up Drac you truly are one of the best.
Do you sell STL files for these? I love this kit but I want to print it in my own colors for convenience
You can purchase on foamproshop.com If youd like a custom color there is a custom color item on the website you can add to your order.

@@LordDraconical Foamy? That's what she... NSFW
😂🤣
Imagine making an honest mistake but you're so narcissistic that you fixate on it for two months then reference it in a new video to make a bad joke attacking viewer comments.
Hopefully we may get a metal replacement for that part. Maybe that would work
So what your saying is before you throw the fang revamp in for the pusher… print several linkage’s for backups
My only "problem" with this blaster is the RoF. Hopefully there's some beefier PLA parts we can use when we get to beef it up to support a faster pusher motor.
Personally I think that the velocity makes up for its rate of fire, and if something has a rapidstrike rate of fire im fine with it
But im not a modder so I dont know about that life
I really like the parts! I can’t wait to get mine and begin to tinker.
When will you guys have the 3s turnigy lipo back in stock for the mk3?
Soon!
I'm not a nerf expert, frankly I'm quiet new to the hobby. However, when I look at that thin piece when you open the blaster had me thinking is that thin piece strong enough for the thrower arm? Nice honest review man, this is why i enjoy watching your reviews.
Well done. As always a fantastic video. Keep up the good work brother.
ON THE ROAD TO 1 MIL!!!!!!
I’ve been looking for a mod guide. Drac delivered!
You need more 2.65 lipo in stock Bro!!! Buying the other mk3 items, except the flywheel parts. Love the mods! Finishing my order now!
Also I subscribed. I thought I already was.
I will say I love the upgrades but I might not even need the talon fix. I just recieved mine and it seems to take talons just fine (stock) so I'm quite relieved. I wonder if it may have been an early production thing. Never the less, good upgrades!
Somehow I didn't see the twist coming, even though it was perfectly telegraphed by Mr. Pascal
Definitely lol!
After all the rate of fire complaints this is the fix I figured someone would do. kind of a shame it didnt pan out I really thought it would be a simple swap like what drac did. but more innovation will come. maybe someone will come out with a whole drop in box for the pusher. lots of room.

Sick Drac. I’m curious tho does the talon mag issue also occur with angled talons?
Even though the ramp that comes with the Bits Kit works just fine, I'm kinda surprised you didn't at least briefly mention the DIY fix of cutting a slot in the pusher rails where the Talon's feed lips sit. All you need is a pair of wire cutters, and you'll never see the difference from the outside since the shell completely hides it.
Why not 3D print a new linkage?
Ordered your kit for the mk3 very happy with print etc.
What about an upgraded linkage? Definitely not interested in this if I can’t ramp up the full auto. Might as well use a modded Stryfe or Rapidstrike. Want to be excited, but not yet.
Love this form of video. Wish drac posted them more.
Love the cropped front end + bummer about the broken part full auto test ...next time.
Would it be possible to make a metal version of the pusher system, as a way to make a more durable system
Looks like we need a new linkage system with better build quality
Excellent adaptor mag release fix !
hey drac nice mod, I loved it hope you will fix it soon and show it off to us again
I was modding my Disruptor and it broke and now I am really sad. So can you pls make a mod guide on the Disruptor
My guess is you might be able to use the phoenix if you get a thicker aluminium version of the Bart part.
But then again, I'm not a mechanic and something else will probably go wrong.
The front end really meshes with the shell. You say Bumblebee, but that front end made me think Waspinator lol. Yellow black/grey noisy and stings!
I keep calling my bobo rev trigger on my stryfe the BABABOOEY
And I have a question, is full auto gear pushed better then say the rapidstryke system? I feel like the rapidstryke system would hold up longer.
Koolness. Question can I use the cage and new flywheels with the factory motors
Hey Drac the lever that broke how hard will that be to either print it or machine it out of aluminum
Drac: Wants more red blasters
Also Drac: Paints red blaster yellow
Yes because of this blaster I have made the switch to lipo. And yes I'm running yours from the shop.
This guy was my literal childhood
Will adding scar rifling to a flywheel blaster improve accuracy even if very slight because of such a short distance
These are some super cool mods you have made! I really like your printed muzzle and switch, although I'm not sure how the new mag release would work if you try to use it with the hand you're taking the mag out with? I also really like how the forwards draft of the stock almost reflects the aesthetic of the foregrip. Nice paintjob too! Thanks so much for sharing this mod guide Drac! 🧡💛💜
Thanks for the knowledge can’t wait to modify mines
Will a 2s1p 7.6ah gensace lipo fit in and what will be the performance of it?.
the new muzzle reminds me of Space Battleship Yamato's Wave Motion Gun
Did the gears strip? Trying getting some metal ones.
Love the colour scheme as it's my favourite colour but really not feeling that super short muzzle piece but hey to each their own
How long do you think it'll take before Drac gets a bunch o' machined aluminum linkages machined to replace the failed part?🤭
;)
About a week
this person making a good blaster a good blaster
Love the old skool Drac mod guide!
Now, how can we preemptively reinforce that piece?
Dang, I just bought the Mk3 and I keep hitting the magazine release. I wanted to get the bits but the shipping is extremely expensive to where I live. Shipping cost is double of the bits which is $9 usd. Overall I am happy with the stock settings but that's the only thing I want to change.

What's the advantage of running lifepos vs an actual lipo? Are they safer? Also, how do you know how many to use vs dummies?
@@UwwBlake it's what I run in all my flywheels beside my rival blasters which are all on 9.6vnimh airsoft batteries but the advantage is no modding and they pop right in any aa powered blaster and boost the performance normally I run 3 which is 9.6v and however many dummys needed to fill the tray of said blaster but with the mk3 already running 12v stock I run 4 of them so 12.8v and the main benefit is having rechargeable batteries and boost in performance I will be getting a 3s lipo for my mk3 but I don't have one as of now and already had a bunch of these and dummys

But Drac made it better
Thanks king🤟🏻
Also, I’m curious. What brand paint do you use?
Are going to bring it to scnc wor
Solid effort dude! Shit happens. Can’t wait to see ya get it back up and running. I LOVE the new muzzle. 🔥👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
What painting technique were you using for your detailing? Was that spray paint in the can's cap?
Enamel paint in a vessel and then microbrushing. Its less clean than taping off things but lets you use capillary action to get precise and it can be much faster if done right
@@LordDraconical Cheers! Thanks! I’ll have to try that out myself! I hate masking just because it takes forever and I think this might work better for me.
How long would a 1.5 amp 3s libo last in a mk 3
Could any of the nerf hobby shops make a reinforced version of that linkage to revive this bee?
Hey drac im a big fan of your channel!!!
I didnt get that neat talon fix with my Turnigy 2.65🤧

@@LordDraconical Thanks 🙏🏾 and Drac On!!
the mechanisms could be simpler and more sturdy with all that space, tbh.
though the cost would probably go up
What soldering iron do you use
Honestly, I am kind of surprised that a solution wasnt found to MAKE this work. I would love to see a solution to fix this pusher issue so that it COULD be used at 6 darts a second.
In nerf ultra, drac says he likes triangular muzzles but here he doesn't like it
Hoped/knew you’d make a shorter muzzle. That looks sick.
I give it a week before a Daybreak cage for this is on the market, and another month after that for Worker to have their own mod kit for this
Maybe a metal replacement for the piece that broke?
It would be nice if you could give hydro dipping
Does the buffer tube has clips like the nexus?
Yes
The problem with the cage swap is it's an effective downgrade for half lengths. Also, most of the parts in the pusher system look very weak. If you want a high performance semi auto, the MK3 is a great choice, but if you want an all out mod blaster, just grab a Stryfe or the like.
Now, we wait for metal pusher parts to be created...
ooo chartreuse yellow! At least it is on the monitor I'm looking at, lol.
Drac: thats not full auto, this is!

Please advocate for a bulpup spectrum from Dart Zone.
