To be fair, I don't "hate" the Regulator. I'm just very, very disappointed in it. If I had known what it really was, and all its  ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶s̶y̶n̶c̶r̶a̶s̶i̶e̶s̶   special features, I would have taken a pass.

I couldn't have imagined that overvolting it by 1.4 volts would completely and utterly destroy its internals. Some components are so badly burnt they still smell really bad after two whole weeks. WTH ??? That's just not right.

But the shell is quite beautiful. It's a huge blaster from an overall length and girth perspective. The color scheme is awesome. I've decided to just gut it and start from scratch. New motors, new wiring, new switches, everything goes out with the bath water, including the baby. (figuratively, of course. no babies will actually be harmed during the modification of this blaster)

For those of you that aren't yet ready to delve into a serious modding experience, I would simply say, run your Regulator stock. You won't love it, but it won't be discarded, unloved, and forgotten at the bottom of your Box o' Nerf Stuff.
