Based on everything I've read, the Barricade flywheel cage is its own animal. In its stock form, the motor spindle offsets are standard, but the flywheels are slightly smaller in diameter to accommodate larger ammo. However, the mount points are unique to the Barricade. I can confirm what DAtBolyZ said about trimming the cage to accept contemporary flywheels. It appears to be a common theme in the NIC.

On a side note, there are also 3D replacement cages for the Barricade with higher crush and reduced noise. You can download the STL files here, if anyone's interested.

Having reread this thread in the light of sobriety, I think I understand what DAtBolyZ is trying to do. I think those Barricade motors will work great in his RapidStrike. They would be perfect for an IMR upgrade, or work fine just by themselves. Bottom line, trading a working Barricade for a broken RapidStrike ... it's a no brainer.

But tell us more about this DIY blaster you're designing DAtBolyZ. Inquiring minds want to know ...
