TBH, I have mixed feelings. The RPMs on the Meishels are slightly higher than the Honey Badgers. And the rev-up time is good too. But they don't seem to have the power. Based on the fact that the Meishels are $3.00 and the Honey Badgers are $4.75, the Badgers might be better motors. I dunno.

I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with the flywheels. For this project I used some German turned flywheels from the folks over at Containment Crew. They seem a little quieter, but not night and day. They're still pretty loud.

But when they catch the darts right, it really flings the foam. No complaints there. However, I had a lot of misfires and jams testing out the new Stryfe. This video is actually the third take, due to malfunctions and jams. I guess it's a work in progress. Heh. That's odd. Maybe throw in a worker pusher mech and see if that fixes it?
