Centurion Review
Hello people,
I haven't posted in a while, and I just got my Centurion in the mail recently so I figured I might as well do a quick review of Nerf's most ridiculous blaster to date!

Airtech 4000 added to sales page!
Hey guys,
The Airtech 4000 is the king of the Airtech line with twelve barrels, turret auto-rotation, and a massive air tank. Seeing that I have two of these bad boys, I've decided to pass one on to the community. The auto-rotation works perfectly, it still successfully shoots darts, and the shell is in tiptop shape! Asking price is $30, and I haven't figured out the cheapest way to ship it yet:
Cheers!

Time to resurrect a monster...
Hello people,
Look what came in the mail recently:
For those of you that have never seen the likes, it's a Stampede's gearbox. The battery pack drives an electric motor that drives the gearbox that eventually primes the blaster. The problem arises when you increase the voltage from 6V to 16.8V--the torque from the motor ends up stripping one of the gears! For those of you that don't remember:
This time, I will be making a "preemptive strike" on the gear before it has a chance to strip itself. I will be thoroughly cleaning the contact area and using powerful solvents to fuse the gear to it's mount--a much better solution than trying to buy metal gears off flaky Chinese Nerf companies.
In other news, I have been slacking off with the modding due to car maintenance, practicing music, and various forms of debauchery. I promise I'll get cracking on the Longstrike/Stampede/LS shotgun grip soon--there just aren't enough hours in the day! Please sit tight while I square things away one at a time.
Regards,
~T da B

How to make a Rainbow Catch
My mind has been elsewhere for the past week. Something in that clean Adirondack air made me take a good look at life and make a few tweaks. Not to worry--I'm not quitting modding, just making a few adjustments. T da B has always been a musician at heart, and he has decided to dust off the old bass guitar and get thumping once again!
Let us shift back to the topic at hand: the Rainbow Catch. Invented in 2010, it was the successor to the Plusbow Catch. Its purpose was to do away with the latter's bulky side plates and be completely contained in the plunger tube. You can find templates on Nerfhaven.com, but only for the original size that fits in 1 1/4'' PVC. The Rainbow Catch that I am building is intended for 1 1/2'' PVC, so I had to do it myself with no templates. Life isn't just cutting and pasting!
