[DEPRECATED] 'Nucleus & Hydrus' Brushed Foam Dart Blasters

DEPRECATED, BUILD JPHAGE INSTEAD. V2 COMING SOON

Introducing the Nucleus, my take on a pistol size format CQB competition blaster. This blaster shares the same cage and BCAR setup as the Voidrunner, but uses the aesthetics and 4:1 geared trigger from the Protean. The battery is stored in the grip, and construction and wiring is very simple. Key components and features are as follows:

• 32.5mm Motor Spacing, with support for Roboman Automation's Machined Flycore Cage
• Hurricane, Pulsar, Banshee Junior, Or Turbo Ranger Mini Flywheels
• 4:1 Geared Trigger for rapid response time
• Support for Talon and Koda spec mags
• Easy FPS Adjustment with toolless BCAR swaps
• Easy toolless battery removal

Things You'll Need:

• 6mm, 8mm, 14mm, 16mm, & 25mm M3 Screws
• Omron 21A Microswitch (Button Or Lever)
• Trigger & Mag Release Springs
• Wire/Heatshrink
• Female XT60 Or XT30 Connector
• Heat Set Inserts (Files for BOTH McMaster (M3x6.4mm) and Voron (M3x4mm) Included)
• Up To 12 MF63ZZ Bearings For BCAR
• Up To 1000mah 2S Or 3S LiPo Battery (Approx ~65x40x35mm Compartment)
• Motors/Motor Mount Screws (I recommend Fang ReVampeds)
• Flywheels (I recommend Turbo Ranger Minis)
• OPTIONAL Roboman Automation Machined Flycore Cage

CHANGELOG:
