'''STOP ! BAD IDEA !'''   If you're reading this thread, don't do that !

I put two IMRs in my Regulator, just like I had done previously with MANY other blasters, and the first time I pulled the trigger it immediately started a fire on the main control circuit board. It basically bricked the blaster.

I wound up gutting it, rewiring, and turning it back into a giant HyperFire. You can read all about it here.

If you want to upgrade the conveyor motor voltage or the flywheel motor voltage in the Regulator, you'll have to isolate the three circuits and use a 6 volt Voltage Regulator IC to provide dedicated power for the controller board. You could then use two MOSFETs to activate the respective motor circuits from the lower voltage controller board. This wouldn't be a particularly good project for Nerfers that aren't comfortable with electronics.

Bottom line, don't put IMRs, or LiFePos or LiPos in a stock Regulator. It'll literally go up in smoke.
