Thank you so much for not edit-skipping through the steps and letting me watch it being done. I'm new to this and need that. Will def be hitting up your shop for the parts.
Some of us out here still appreciate your build guides, Drac... I've been watching your vids since before you started showing your face, if that tells you anything. I'm more of a springer guy, mostly because I hate the noise that flywheel blasters make when they're spooling up before you shoot, but it's still cool to see what they can do and how they're built. Not my style, but I appreciate a well executed build of any effective foam flinging device. Keep doing what you love, brother
I have an interesting question: have you considered making a part for the angled bottom rail to make it horizontal for those of us who like grips that are NOT the included one?
I love the Spectrum. I would like to run one as a holstered sidearm with an all HalfDart loadout. Keep making these types of videos. I prefer these types of tutorials instead of a typical review. Keep being stubborn you Undead Hero
Please do consider making a better stock adapter available for acquisition so the Spectrum can accept N-Strike stocks, and perhaps a barrel lug too that can friction fit like the current available muzzle break. Thanks again Drac for an educational tutorial and installation build on a current blaster...I guess "BlasterTag On" is too much of a mouthful for the outro and because it doesn't follow a syllable count rhythm of the other phrases that precede and follow it. It's still better than it predecessor. ;) Stay safe and blessed. Yosh...
I think the color change might be due to performance. All the green and blue blasters are more kid friendly, but the red ones are more adult oriented or harder hitting? I mean the villanater is still green
great vid man, love seeing you put the time and effort to actually educate people on how to customize their blasters and really just allow people to make something of their own that they can be proud of, please keep making content like this, i cant speak for everyone but i can personally say that i really appreciate you doing it.
This came at literally the perfect time. I finally got around to getting a spectrum and was looking online about it shooting half lengths and wasn't finding much than bam your video came out!
Try using a editor to remove a section of the Nerf stock adapter. If you have just the part that slides over the spectrum stock and remove the back plate and remove or edit the locking tabs you get a good friction fit that is almost perfectly flush with the back of the spectrum
I swooped a red recently and swapped my greens rewired guts and your kit to the red instead, kinda like the green wheels inside the red blaster too lol
Don’t get discouraged drac, the metrics on the videos are not an accurate reflection of the communities appreciation for your content! You’ve always done a great job, so thank you.
out of curiosity, is there a pusher that would work with half darts in angled talon w/ angled talon adapter? not sure if the stock one would, but really like the idea of the spectrum with an angled magazine
I'm completely new to this hobby so I apologize for the potentially braindead question, but would the megillah cage and twilight wheels fit in a stryfe?
Awesome video, I'm definitely going to get the short dart kit. I've tried some other stock adapters and haven't been really happy with them, too much movement not sturdy. So that's why I hope you make your version of a stock adapter for the Spectrum. Keep up the good work, you've been killing it 👏
Any idea what the performance is with half darts and the stock motors? I've already tried doing a lipo conversion and I failed so I bought another Spectrum to keep stock.
This is honestly gonna be a contender for my short dart flywheeler. A little lower than others on the list, but a solid option and definitely at a good price point
Will this mod shoot full length and half length darts? I’d like to get the 175FPS spectrum mod but be able to run the short darts, or have the option to run both. I really want that stock! Folding and telescoping
Is there a video where you go more in depth on the soldering? Looking to put the spectrum kits I just got to use and it will be my first venture in wiring.
Just incase you ever want to go back to this build, there is a 3d printed buffer tube to spectrum stock attachment on thingiverse. I haven’t built one yet, but it might look better than buffer to N strike to spectrum.
With that stock and the muzzle busted out of the Spectrum, I feel like this platform would be a better host for an MP5 cosmetics kit than the Stryfe. Drac, perhaps you could experiment with it? And maybe if anyone makes a select-fire mod for the Spectrum, you could have a gander at it too?
Link for the short dart pusher is broken? is there an STL for one, or where can I get one? How would it perform with a 1s? (odd request, I know) what about a 3s?
I have an idea, how about a hybrid pusher that can fire short and full length darts, worker already made one for the Stryfe so maybe you can do something similar to that.
Are there any other Nerf Stock attachment files or parts that make the back look cleaner? The only other question is if there has been any Magnus Masterkey combo much like what we have for the Stryfe and Raven now?
If u mod it to shoot half lengths can it still shoot full lengths? I see the you are using the nexus pro adapter for half length mags but in theory you should just be able to shoot full lengths darts out of it too no?
Hey Drac, where can I get a really good modded spring blaster? I don't really have building skills, but I'm very interested in picking up a strong blaster.
Ofc he waited till I modded two of these with his stuff to make a tutorial 😂this would’ve been so helpful. If you make this you will be so happy with it
Almighty algorithm... Please make mod guides great again! Thanks Drac. No obvious sign of Spectrums in the UK yet (admittedly I haven't checked for a few months), but 'fingers crossed.
hey drac i dont know if youve seen them but you should take a look at the Hero dart guns that are sold at five and below. they have your colors and look really cool.
Dart zone: "hmm, I seems that not everyone on the planet owns a spectrum"
Also dz: "make it red and sell it to every one else"
It is a good idea though!
I just want a green one
It’s been 2 months and I can’t find one at a good price
over here in europe it's either get a red one for 60 usd or wait a month for a green one for 45
There is a Jynx and thats just fine with us :)

I haven't watched as many foam dart blaster videos recently but seeing a kind of old school mod video really made my day.
Me two

Love in depth looks at the guts of blasters like this!

Wonderful! Now you just need to do one for a full length dart Spectrum!

I really love these types of build guides, thank you so much Drac! 🧡💜💚
Loved this vid. Good vibes and clear instructions. Excellent!

I mean the villanater is still green
The voice over build guide was so clean best I've seen in years
Aside from the color, is there any real difference between this spectrum and the green one? Maybe some internal changes?
Clean, clear mod guide, really well done! And I appreciate the reappearance of the thicc beard, too.
This is my favorite kind of video , reviews are great and appreciated but this is something i learned from. Thanks Drac

This one sounds WAY better than the original derezzed blaster. I wonder what's better about it?
This had some real Binging with Babish vibes. I dig it.
Darting With Drac?
You should get into paintballing, there are lots of fun mods you can do that would be on higher quality guns that I think you'd enjoy.
This came at literally the perfect time. I finally got around to getting a spectrum and was looking online about it shooting half lengths and wasn't finding much than bam your video came out!
Love to see the old school build videos back!
Looks epic! Should’ve gotten it in red tho, regrets.

Very glad to see your mod tutorials get their long needed facelift! Great work these days Drac, you’re killin it!
Thank you so much for making a very beginner friendly review i am trying to get into modding and i think this will be the first mod i do
I'm completely new to this hobby so I apologize for the potentially braindead question, but would the megillah cage and twilight wheels fit in a stryfe?

You should do more mod guides like this.
Does the half length pusher work with full length darts?
Love your videos!!! I'm going to mod a spectrum for my son, and this going to be very helpful!!! Thanks drac keep the content coming man..
Any idea what the performance is with half darts and the stock motors? I've already tried doing a lipo conversion and I failed so I bought another Spectrum to keep stock.
This is honestly gonna be a contender for my short dart flywheeler. A little lower than others on the list, but a solid option and definitely at a good price point
I like the Tutorial style videos.
Keep at it.
I know its not 'simple' and takes a lot of work (tried to do a couple my self...)
Honestly I wish they made a blue one like some of the other adventure forced / dart zone blasters.
Will this mod shoot full length and half length darts? I’d like to get the 175FPS spectrum mod but be able to run the short darts, or have the option to run both. I really want that stock! Folding and telescoping
Such a beautiful creation brings a tear to my eye.
Is there a video where you go more in depth on the soldering? Looking to put the spectrum kits I just got to use and it will be my first venture in wiring.
Great walkthrough of how to mod a blaster
This was such a fun video to watch. Don't ask me why. I don't mod or even nerf, I just really enjoy seeing where this hobby goes.
i was hoping you'd do a red one. top notch as always!
STL for new switch mount? You popped one in there, but I'm not sure where you got it. Thanks!
Up front, you forgot to mention it's also $5 cheaper than when it was an online exclusive...
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU for what you do keep foam fling
Just incase you ever want to go back to this build, there is a 3d printed buffer tube to spectrum stock attachment on thingiverse. I haven’t built one yet, but it might look better than buffer to N strike to spectrum.

I’ve really missed this style of Drac Video
Link for the short dart pusher is broken? is there an STL for one, or where can I get one?
How would it perform with a 1s? (odd request, I know) what about a 3s?
For about 70$ this is a pretty serious option, great guide drac!
The red on the Spectrum looks awesome under a blacklight.
Did you know that the spectrum can work with half darts if you have the Nexus pro mag adapter
Also I’m surprised the Dart Zone Adapter works with flywheels being it’s not fully forward.
You didn't show putting in the 3D printed micro switch holder!
I have an idea, how about a hybrid pusher that can fire short and full length darts, worker already made one for the Stryfe so maybe you can do something similar to that.
Thanks for the content. Very interesting and appreciate you sharing.
Dart Zone, plz make it BLUE!!!!!
Are there any other Nerf Stock attachment files or parts that make the back look cleaner? The only other question is if there has been any Magnus Masterkey combo much like what we have for the Stryfe and Raven now?
Yeah I designed one a while ago.
Hey Drac, is this worth picking up brand new for under $50?
If u mod it to shoot half lengths can it still shoot full lengths? I see the you are using the nexus pro adapter for half length mags but in theory you should just be able to shoot full lengths darts out of it too no?
my favorite colors are red and green so im glad its available in both
Get one in each colour, and swap half their shells. Have two half red half green blasters
@@flametitan100 great idea
Nice, love the new video format 👍🏾
i like that paint job, sanguine is still the best red compact terror though :).
Analytics may not love this kind of video, but I sure do! Gave me the confidence to buy parts from Foam Pro Shop to give it a try.
It's been a week how did it go
What stock is that? Btw i love this style of vids. Great job as always.
@drac so is there any jamming because I feel like sometimes it didn’t feed right in the vid. Might be wrong due to editing
Thank you so much for making these awesome videos!
Love the new format of the video
I do like how it looks, but my favorite blaster color is either green or the elite blue, its just so iconic to me
Hey Drac, where can I get a really good modded spring blaster? I don't really have building skills, but I'm very interested in picking up a strong blaster.

Thanks Drac. No obvious sign of Spectrums in the UK yet (admittedly I haven't checked for a few months), but 'fingers crossed.
Thank you very much. Very cool
even with the stock, the fade looked real good
Ain’t no school like the old school and you helped write the book. Thanks
Hey drax you know that red karambit u had where’d u get it at?
hey drac i dont know if youve seen them but you should take a look at the Hero dart guns that are sold at five and below. they have your colors and look really cool.
Loved more modding info :)
I love the spectrum, I also have the red one!
This spectrum is HANDSOME
Just put in a order in the other day this will help a lot to put a blaster together.
Do you prefer zing bows or faux bows
Hey Drac random apex question, R99 or Volt? Love what your doing, thanks for Jynx.
They should start painting these clear
My red Spectrum already has the de-rezzed kit and fangs from FPS I love it
Now that is my kind of striyfe
I oh so wish dartzone started retailing in the european market too. Why don't they anyway? Is the market for foam blasters too small over here?
Never give up Drac, trust your instincts!
do u have any stocks for the spectrum available?
Thanks for this video
Came for the blaster stayed for the jazzy house tune.
This blaster cries out for a 3d printed battery tray.
Love the video. The mod turned out great.
How does the modified spectrum perform on a 1s lipo?
Adventure Force really said to Nerf, “I’m bout to end this mans whole career.”
