So about the wire. Did you use silicone ? Or was it conventional 18 gauge ? From your picture, that might not be enough slack if it's traditional 18 gauge stranded. You'd want to bow out a whole centimeter.

And I'm sure you got a Fang with a bad bearing. These things are mass produced toy motors, not high precision calibrated devices. The same thing happened to me with a non-Nerf related project. Contact customer support and see if they'll exchange it. I think my dad has a friend who has a whole metal workshop. Maybe he can make one. A CNC Ultrasonic Cage would also be cool.

I'll ask FoamBlast about the motor.
