Ares- A compact flycore powered blaster

Overview:

Ares is a compact primary class flywheel blaster that uses a modified version of Old Fusion Designs' flycore system. 

• Flycore system is modified to allow the use of the Roboman metal Flycore cages (you can also just print one) and also to use smaller heatset inserts. 
• This blaster also accepts different bcar designs through a modular twist lock system. There are different front pieces for Protean geometry bcars as well as a front piece that accepts voidrunner sized bcars. 
• This blaster can be used with a battery stock or with a slim battery mounted above the grip in the back of the blaster.
• Different versions of the lower/front grip section for easier printer and user customization
• Blaster fits 130-180 motors utilizing mini wheels (pulsar mini, turboranger mini, and other similar wheels)

Different part versions:
