Well my $20 Nemesis with one gutless flywheel motor finally motivated me to open up the $10 Accelerator v2 that was making burny smells instead of firing properly, hoping I could salvage one of the motors and see if it fit into the Nemesis (hey, the battery boxes are interchangeable, it's not THAT far-fetched an idea!)

So I took it all apart, took pics of the internals, and alligator-clipped the negative battery terminal directly to the negative terminals of the motors. They sprang to life and had so much torque I was afraid to get a finger near them, but a screwdriver handle didn't slow them down.

So I scratched my head, shrugged, put the whole thing back together, and... it works perfectly now.

???  tada?

The good news is, something I thought was worth $10 only because it came with 6 new D cells and a hopper fulla balls that I needed for my incomplete Powerball anyway, is actually a working blaster. The bad news is, my poor red Nemesis is still broken and the blue Nemesis is laughing at it.
