I finally decided to do something with my old burned out Regulator. Those who follow my earlier threads will remember that I complained about how it feels and the lack of tactile feedback. So I've decided to gut the electronics and replace everything with direct wiring.

While pulling apart the internals I made a shocking discovery. The flywheel cage is canted !  That means the darts are spinning when they leave the barrel, similar to rifled bullets. And it's not just canted a little, it's canted as much as any Worker cage I've had my hands on - probably somewhere around 10°. I am incredibly impressed with Hasbro.

So the plan is to convert the battery box to 2x2 for IMRs, replace everything with 18 guage, wire the rev switch directly to the flywheels and the trigger directly to the conveyor motor. We're going to lose the select fire switch, the clip empty LED, the clip sensor lock, the conveyor door lock, the main thermistor and another hidden one in the upper wiring chase.

So let the fun begin !
