Grab as many of those Stryfes as you can. When you're ready to do a rewire, that's the blaster you'll want to mod.

Now, about those "motor speed restrictors". They're not. They're actually chokes, sometimes called inductors. They are little ferrite rods with a winding around them. They are used to cancel Radio Frequency Interference generated by the motors. Most countries have strict limits on how much RF interference a device can generate. Basically, these make your blaster "street legal".

That being said, you can totally get rid of them. If you're rewiring or putting in better motors, definitely remove them. They will add additional resistance that will degrade performance. But in stock blasters it makes no difference. Leave them in, take them out, there's no difference. Well ... except for cell phones. If you want your cell phone to work while you're firing your blaster, then leave them in 😁

The one you want to remove is the Thermistor. It's a small flat mustard colored ceramic component hidden somewhere inline with the battery. It's basically a circuit breaker. If you draw too much current, they cut out. When you find one of these, remove it.

Carry on.
