hi i'm luke with auto darts today we are checking out the latest from hasbro
the nerf elite 2.0 moto blitz and hasbro's finally done something right
to those that have been watching for a while it's pretty obvious that i have
not been a very big fan of elite 2.0 uh the blasters have been a pretty much
universal disappointment across the entire lineup and so my hopes were not high with
this blaster however they've made some major changes some minor improvements and done
something completely new while they're at it so i'm pretty excited to share this with you
this is the elite 2.0 moto blitz it's one of about a half dozen elite 2.0 blasters so far elite 2.0
blasters have primarily been just reshells reskins and variations on existing blasters now this
essentially is at the core a bullpup style blaster so it's a little bit like a raven or perhaps like
the halo ma-40 unlike the rest of the series the moto blitz has a nice trick up its sleeve up front
which makes this a really unique blaster overall price point on this blaster comes in at 44.99
and that is a target exclusive i believe will correct on screen if i find out otherwise
the blaster includes enough darts 10 rounds to fill the 10 round magazine as well as the six
round scatter shot up front it's a semi-automatic flywheel blaster meaning we have a flywheel cage
that sits right in here and we've got a pusher mechanical pusher back here that's tied to this
trigger so to fire it's a simple rev fire boy you forget how slow these blasters spin up in stock
form when all you play with is modded blasters but we'll rev up we'll take some shots here
overall the trigger feel is very very nice it's a firm trigger pull but it is a lot cleaner
than the raven actually is at least in stock configuration ergonomically the blaster is
markedly improved from the previous elite 2.0 blasters all of the previous elite 2.0 blasters
featured a very kind of bulky squared off handle and grips and i really did not care for these
the lines on these blasters are also a lot more geometric and faceted where the moto blitz is
definitely a little more styled sleeked and a little more rounded off they have a very different
design language feel overall the grip itself is a little bit small for my hands but as you probably
know that's pretty much par for the course because all of them are too small that being said it is
still very comfortable and i can fit my full hand in there despite being an adult so i think any kid
i did it again so i think any kid or a teen even teenager is going to appreciate this handle it's
going to feel a lot better continuing on with the ergonomics the blaster is much too short for me
i can't even see the actual scope i would have to be doing something like this which is certainly
a little awkward but given that this is obviously intended for children and kids not necessarily big
kids i can give them a pass on that that said they do have a rail up top so you could mount
some other sort of optic i can't really see using the actual optic that's built into this blaster
anyway because it's just not very useful but it does add something to the styling and i
think it does have a nice look overall i kind of want to shove something in there it seems
like a good place to stick an air bladder for an exist another shot or maybe somehow integrate
something else unsure what i'll do up there but i don't think i would just take it off though
you certainly could cut it out or take it out somehow if you really wanted to one small
ergonomic thing i would like to change and i think this is a pretty easy aftermarket part because
we've done it many times before is this grip for a adult adult male hand it's a little bit small
for anybody else totally going to be fine the blaster runs on four double a's
as do all stock blasters so performance in its stock form is very much like a stock strife or
like the elite 2.0 phoenix which uses a similar flywheel cage system given that it's a bolt pup
depending on how your darts go down this barrel this whole barrel length does nothing it is just
air so if your darts happen to touch the side of here that will affect accuracy and performance
however i think with an upgraded cage you're going to shoot straight enough down that barrel
that you're not going to impact the side now we haven't taken this blaster apart but we are told
that it does not have solvent welds that make it unmoddable i will update on this video because
i'm going to take this apart after the video is made if this is solvent welded it's going to lose
a whole star in my review rating because that's a pretty core part to our modding community and my
perspective when i'm talking about blasters uh so hopefully unlike some of the others which required
you to either cut or break tabs to get them open hopefully this is not the case with the moto blitz
now let's move on to probably the most obvious and fun feature and that's the
blitz i think the moto means motorized we've got the motorized and the blitz is this uh
this fun function up on the front this is a small air tank inside here which you pressurize
via pumping let's find out how many pumps it takes one two three four five six seven seems like seven
at seven i can feel the overpressure relief valve actually letting letting air back out you've got
this great two-sided trigger which reminds me very much of a design tarik has been working on
his design however his flywheeler so completely unrelated just the fact that you've got the
same switch that can work on either side so you can hit it with either hand it's nice and large
really easy to find when you're holding onto this handle and you just tap the switch and for a stock
blaster to have a six shot scatter shot is really really cool it's something that we've been doing
for years you know throwing in a magnus or similar blaster upside down usually a single shot
and obviously we have our little rocket platform and we love that but this is very very cool
and ultimately it kind of sums up the whole blaster you might buy this blaster if you like
bullpups but really you're probably buying this blaster because you love this addition now some
users such as wallcom i believe have already done some mods to improve the performance of this which
is fabulous um usually it's it's letting it's plugging up the valve so you can actually put more
pumps of pressure in there than intended but at the end of the day this is a really really
cool feature especially if you're playing stuff like hvz or even if you're not i could really see
apparently i need to get used to that mag release i can see this being especially effective
in anything that's close quarters or hvz you know you're running your primary even if you just
switched your mag you could be switching your mag and pop off that shot when someone tries to come
up on you i love that feature it's the whole reason that tark put together a little rocket
is to have that sort of last ditch effort and the fact that it's built into a stock blaster i think
that adds quite a bit of value now when we're talking about price point this comes in at 45
maybe i'm getting old but didn't strikes used to cost 20 bucks now we've definitely come up
in price i believe the phoenix goes for what was 30 at retail i believe ish i mean you're
getting enough i think there's enough value to say that this is 15 more than this one especially
with inflation and up increase in shipping costs that we're seeing across our whole shop
it's probably a pretty fair price at the end of the day i love this feature this function
is by far the reason to get this blaster or if you just like bullpups i could see getting this
a few upgrades that we're definitely going to do for this we definitely want to see a cage a short
dart kit magwell adapter because this pusher can be elongated very easily and can definitely handle
short darts and i might look at doing a stock that just makes it a little bit longer because
just like the raven both of these blasters are a little short for me because my hand is just really
squishy i just want another maybe another four inches there so i think we'll be looking at doing
stock cage maybe some triggers though i do kind of like the little blade trigger as far as styling
and then let me know in the comments i'd love to know whether you'd like to see a mod guide on
this blaster specifically we'll at least do a cage it's a pretty standard wiring it'd be just like a
strife but if people want to see a mod guide i'd be happy to do that and we could touch on both
modifying the air portion and the flywheel portion at the end of the day i'm really impressed i want
to say it seems like hasbro is listening or at least trying something different or perhaps this
was in the queue all along and they don't listen to us at all i could believe that too honestly
with their product cycles i'm going to give this five out of five it's definitely the best release
i've seen from hasbro in quite some time like i said if this thing's solvent welded i'm changing
the on the description on top here to say four out of five but uh assuming it's not solvent welded
together from my perspective it is a home run on the hasbro from the hasbro mothership and i'm
pretty excited to see them do something a little bit more interesting and a little more innovative
thank you so much for watching as always we'll put all the links down in the description
probably by the time this video gets up we'll actually have a lot of the aftermarket parts
for this blaster and maybe even the mod guide so we will link that all down below
let me know what you think of the moto blitz and what you think hasbro might do next there are some
minor issues here but boy i'm really impressed overall until next time i'm uh i'm out of darts
you
