Now it’s just a waiting game for someone to make a beautiful backwards master key with one of these and a rough cut or a strongarm!!! I’m also really glad to see the handle thingy in the front is a separate piece
I bought one a couple days ago. It barely fired out of the box. Zero lubricant on the pusher and "springs". I slathered it with SuperLube, bypassed the Thermistor and gave it 9.6v. ME LIKEY!
Thanks for making this review / mod guide :) I just finished doing these mods to mine; unfortunately being in Australia we have the down tuned version. Running on 3S proves to be an "acceptable" improvement :P But on 2S it is noticeably weaker; appears more on par with a stock US version XD
A little late to the party here, but since Kmart now has Motostrykes in stock for $29 I'm considering getting one and modding it. Do you remember what the chrono figures were for stock, 2S and 3S? How well do the stock motors handle increased voltages?
Thanks for the review and mod tutorial! I got mine yesterday and was waiting for the reviews and mod turorials to start showing up. I think they could have done this with 1/3 the plastic but this is a MEGA blaster so it needs to be MEGA sized. Which 2s LiPo are you using? I will have to make the jump to LiPo before I mod my MotoStryke. I will wait with baited breath for the integration of the Rapidstrike pusher into the MotoStryke.
man... I was getting into mega blasters and was really excited when I saw this blaster... and then I saw the cost cutting and decided to just not get it... (I don't mind the performance if it is reliable but cheeping out on springs is dumb) Kinda wish dartzone would make mega blasters...
In Coop's review, the trigger return was garbage. In Walcom's, the mag release was broken. Did you have similar or different issues with yours out of the box?
Great video. Howdy! I modded mine last night. I went with neo hellcats to start...since you already showed what stock motors can do. I think this blaster will be a great platform for designers to create cages. I even tried to mod the cage to fit the rival motors which are 380s...not 260s.....way too wide...but i see that as a viable motor option.
The leaf springs on the trigger were probably to even out the off-set resistance on the trigger and to make it return more positively. I am not a fan of using leaf springs like this - especially plastic onese, and am TOTALLY on the same page INRE: replacing them with coil compression springs lol
Nope, the entire point of it was to cut corners and save money. I doubt the designers didn't even test fire the thing when they made it. The sample they had at the Toy Fair was amazing and actually had a regular spring, and was commented on by other reviewers as "the smoothest trigger I've ever pulled". Then the actual release happened and the trigger is total garbage. Without modding, this thing is unusable
Yeah thats a good one. Im a huge 40k fan and love anything that shoots massive rounds in rapid succession like a boltgun. Ideally i want a motostyke type thing that has Demolisher rockets in a mag...
I wonder how much to purchase a slightly modded version. I have a question, do people buy the standard Nerf line mainly to modify them? Are The rival and the mega/mega XL lines something that they could just leave stock or modify slightly? I ask this because elite level Nerf just seems like a modding platform for a layman like me.
I only have two Mega blasters, thrifted both and don't have any Mega darts. That being said, man is this thing amazing or what? You can even open with without destroying it! I shouldn't have to say it but it's still a pro considering the dark path Hasbro has been on.
Great video, the stock trigger return sucks on this blaster, what was that spring you used to make the trigger return better, i would love to just do that to my stock blaster but i have 0 modding experience. thanks.
Just saw one at Walmart and was torn cause I went there for a Saturn....got the Saturn in the end cause I love me a "shotgun". Wondering if I made the right choice though.
@@Simatech2007 I wish this method worked for me. I tried same with belt but feeding was inconsistent. I used mega caliburn mag well which fits inside of khaos believe or not, with some shell cutting. This project is history for me as circuit short melted 2 21A switches and destroyed both flywheel motors. I wish my mega khaos worked.
Don't forget that the discharge is calculated by doing the following: mAh/1000 multiplied the C rating. You imply in the video that the 3s higher capacity battery so it may actually have a better discharge than your 2s. Worth doing the maths. I suspect you saw lower fps on the 3s due to dart slip. Hopefully, someone will release a higher crush cage for this blaster, which will mean you can get some superior numbers out of your 3s.
well i didnt explain this in detail but this is what happened. Under 3 s the motors where screaming much louder. the heads where ripping off 1 out of every 5 darts fired and yes we had slipping so thats why the FPS was lower.
@@Pierre845 Yes you are correct I was not saying you were wrong. Thank you for your insight. The 3s i had did have a better discharge. I need a higher crush cage.
One question: Is it necessary to do the full rewire, or is it possible to use the stock switches and wiring and only modify the battery tray to hold the 2s lipo battery?
@@maialeisz9969 its not that i want a normal stryfe, i mean with would be cool if it can take regular magazines if its modified right? And the aesthetics looks cool
8:25 why do they feel the need to save a fucking nickel on a $40 toy? Yea it saves them a nickel but now the whole gun is trash because that trigger doesn't return well.
well your missing the main point of this mod and thats C batteries are expensive, heavy, and if you want to talk about fps those batteries at half life will push out 60 fps and continue to fall until you get 0 fps...
Points at nexus pro: "This is brilliant"
Points at Motostryke: "But I like this"
Ultra and elite 2.0 line: *wrecks havoc to the community*
Nerf rival saturn and mega motostryke: Aye folks!! Were here to save the day!!!
Well...um. it didn't work that well...
@@turtlestudios9970 but atleast its modder friendly than the whole elite 2.0 line
glad you covered it my friend, and it's something we been wanting for a long time in the Mega line and glad Hasbro delivered. :)
This was a mighty fun format. It's great getting that base info at the start snd follow the modding steps.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"so I removed the little things on the trigger, it looks unnecessary"
5 seconds later:
"so actually we need more resistance"
Those wear down and traditional springs offer for more operations. so yeah would totally do it again.
Now it’s just a waiting game for someone to make a beautiful backwards master key with one of these and a rough cut or a strongarm!!! I’m also really glad to see the handle thingy in the front is a separate piece
Incomging high power springers mounted on top of this for the ultimate zombie mowing tool!
Yeah, I bet lots of people will screw on a modded roughcut or something on the top.
So you are basically the only nerf reviewing UA-camr that actually loves this blaster.
cool
I bought one a couple days ago. It barely fired out of the box. Zero lubricant on the pusher and "springs". I slathered it with SuperLube, bypassed the Thermistor and gave it 9.6v. ME LIKEY!
this has got to be the coolest build i have ever seen
Love the video! My son and I picked one up yesterday and this was and is something we plan to mod over the weekend.
4:44 and it looks glorious!
5:20 yes and I guess it's nice to have higher capacity magazines
And yes review plus mod is really nice!
Docter flux, your the best!
I love this one and I will probably pick it up!
Smooth operation with flywheels and mega darts, I I’m!
I love how you say mega in such a sincere way like you mean it
I don't know why but that mega box magazine makes me happy.
This blaster was concepted at time that screws still existed. Good times! Great video!
Dr.F
WOW. This blaster rocks. WOW great mod guide. Thanks for taking the token to show this off. You rock keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Review and mod vid all in one! Super cool and not to mention nice background music too. Very calm and relaxing. Cheers!
Nice love the mix reviews and mods
very cool! I do believe that this is the best thing nerf has made this year
Thanks for making this review / mod guide :)

Imagine being able to open up and mod your blaster...
Pepperidge farms remembers...
What was Hasbro thinking?
@@timtam2400 Thoughts of hostility.
Got mine all modded up too!
Nice work man!
Honestly, this is better than the certurion, looks awesome and amazing at the same time!
I think so too!

I got from OOD's Turnigy Graphene Panther 2s 1000mAh 75c LiPO pack
If I were any good at wireing I'd saw the stock off and seat the battery into the body to make this a Bolter.
For the glory of mankind.
Buuuut you forgot the Boss Mag!
:) Nice work!
Oh? i dont have that!
Saw this at Walmart today. Had a feeling I should have grabbed one.
LOL yes!
man... I was getting into mega blasters and was really excited when I saw this blaster... and then I saw the cost cutting and decided to just not get it... (I don't mind the performance if it is reliable but cheeping out on springs is dumb)
Kinda wish dartzone would make mega blasters...
Thanks DR flux this is brilliant. This video made me think ur channel is underrated. I feel bad for only have been watching You through walcom lol
Yeah, I like the Review & Mod format.
Or at least a Review and Internals view.
Went and did the same mod and I love my Motostryke even more now.
In Coop's review, the trigger return was garbage. In Walcom's, the mag release was broken. Did you have similar or different issues with yours out of the box?

and
hold two more mega darts
He deserves more subs!
Nice work and thanks for the mod guide.

My local target had these on clearance for $14
Please tell me you can see the Longshot's stock on this blaster.
Great video
Love that new rapid strick reskin
Stryfe not rapidstrike
The number one blaster from nerf this year is this or the halo ma40 because it is bullpup
Yeah thats a good one. Im a huge 40k fan and love anything that shoots massive rounds in rapid succession like a boltgun. Ideally i want a motostyke type thing that has Demolisher rockets in a mag...
Dr Flux the closest is the nerf gl which is a missile clylinder blaster
great video. also the music is great
where can i find a tutorial on the process of installing lipos and all this electrical rerouting? I have not done this before. new.
Great job!
I will definitely be getting one of these asap and doing the 2S rewire.

Nice review too!!
🔥😎👍
I'm going to see about putting a nice snappy solenoid in mine
Oh thats a great idea!
Just subbed love your vids
With how noisy the wheels are, I am a little sad you didn't put i active braking, but still a really good mod video!

Would love to see it painted up to match that great mod
Doc, Great Video!! I picked one up new for around $25...
I need to do this mod. Do you have a recommended parts list?
Gonna need some more in depth trigger spring upgrade help I think, like what spring, where do I buy one? Where exactly did you snip it again?
Great video, the stock trigger return sucks on this blaster, what was that spring you used to make the trigger return better, i would love to just do that to my stock blaster but i have 0 modding experience. thanks.

Thats a throw back lol

Thanks for this amazing video
Glad you liked it!
of course i always enjoy your vids and i love your range set up
Great video. I think my Mega Khaos now needs a younger sibling
how did you resolve feeding issue for mega khaos? feeding belt didn't feed mega dart well and rapidstrike pusher was little too short.
@@nistelchel took off almost half of the pegs on the belt. I used a centurian mag well and lost of testing to get the high right

HI DrFlux. Great video. How the mod do with MEGA Accyustrike Darts?
a mega edition of the eclipse cage would be awesome.
That thumbnail is soooo cool!
Nice vid. My grandson just got one. Trigger return is horrible, loving the spring idea. What exactly did you replace the battery pack with?
Anyone know the disassembling music that Dr Flux used in this video, I can’t find it anywhere lol
Ever since the toy fair I’ve wanted one of these but a few people that have them say the trigger gets stuck. Is that what you found with this one?
my motorstryke mag is very hard to pull out idk if that’s a problem
Like the choices you made in switch placement and plastic spring removal, what was the medicine bottle? Lubricant?
accelerator for CA glue
Awesome video!

might be safe on 2s ... I wouldn't throw a 3s on stock wires.

Btw, it would be good if u can modified it to take n-strike elite magazines and normal darts such as AF waffle head darts
But why? It’s a mega stryfe. If you want a normal stryfe, just buy a AF spectrum or a Nerf stryfe.
@@maialeisz9969 its not that i want a normal stryfe, i mean with would be cool if it can take regular magazines if its modified right? And the aesthetics looks cool
The video I've been looking for, how I missed it before I don't know...
But what size are the motors? I'm guessing 130
i think they are kind of like rival motors
Vendes tus nerfs modificadas?
So I finally have a use for all of those tyrant and centurion mags I have.
Hey if I sent you a new nerf motostryke could you do the same mod as yours and if yes how much would you charge ?
sorry commission work is closed I have too much going on.
What thumb screw did you use for the battey compartment?
it was from foam blast
@@drflux any particular size or for a specific blaster?
@@Bikerscout1599 um i think it was stryfe size... not 100%
@@drflux cool thanks for getting back to me..
NICE MOD. Frankly, that should be stock performance.
I think so too
Where did you get that switch and return springs?
I have a bin of springs I pull out of broken and old blasters. The switch was from out of darts or foam blast.
Oh my gosh it looks so cool😨
Does anyone charge for modify a nerf blaster?
I wish there were half mega accufakes and a mag adapter for this.
How much for you to do one for me?
How does it handle mega accustrike darts?
i have 1 ...
Hey is it any way I could get my motostryke modded by you???
Sure just check out this vid ua-cam.com/video/Sm8tqo3TtYA/v-deo.html

What size are those motors?
they looked like standard stock rival motors
Dr Flux oh wow thank u so much for responding😁👍👍👍👍
I NEED THAT SHIRT hahaha
Its at Silver Fox Industries
Can you mod mine??
Who else was digging the music😁
please split up the reviews and mod guides into separate videos going forward
Usually do. I was excited on this one so i lumped them together.
8:25 why do they feel the need to save a fucking nickel on a $40 toy?
Yea it saves them a nickel but now the whole gun is trash because that trigger doesn't return well.
