Hi, I'm Luke. Today on Out of Darts, we are going to go over the Nerf
Mega Motostryke. Let's get going.
Since the moment I got into this hobby, I wanted this blaster. The Stryfe is the clear most popular
blaster that's ever existed for modders, and I always wondered why isn't there a mega version
because mega's really, really cool the oldest nerf darts are much closer to mega than they are
elite, so there's kind of a heritage thing there as well which I really like the Mega Motostryke
is essentially a mega Stryfe in almost every way with the exception of ergonomics and design
aesthetically. It's got a 10 round magazine, which is absolutely massive. I honestly cannot
imagine carrying a whole stack of these like I would an elite blaster let alone compare it
size-wise to a short dart blaster. It's hard to make a case for mega,
but as Adriana of Foam Blast would say, it's really fun shooting hot dogs at people,
so this blaster is semi-automatic, of course, just like the Stryfe basic rev trigger.
Overall I think it's a pretty neat blaster. I'm a little disappointed in the comfort.
For some reason, it seems like every blaster that Hasbro releases
are less comfortable than previous generations. The Stryfe trigger and rev and the actual grip
feel a lot better than this for my adult hands that said this is a toy it is meant
for 12 to 16-year-olds or probably younger, and their hands will fit just fine in here
it's powered by four c batteries and as you can hear mine came with a free screw.
I have not opened this for reference. This just came like this, so after you've thrown your
six dollars of batteries in here or whatever depending on how to bulk you bought them, the
first thing we're going to do is upgrade this thing to a lipo to make sure
we aren't paying for those c batteries but after we're up and running we've got a basic mag
the shape of the mega darts does not allow these to be press-fit so this is a bit of a
slow-loading one at a time I'd actually say this is more difficult just due to the size
you're not going to be able to load as many darts per minute or per second as you would on an elite
blaster all right so I've got 10 darts loaded up here and we are going to go ahead, and oh that
actually feels pretty good because of the size it's got a very firm nice tight mag release here.
What have I done? I broke it already. You forget about locks when you
don't play with stock blasters very often. The door was slightly open,
so obviously, we're working with the larger cage and flywheels,
and that's going to be one of the first things we're probably going to have to replace
depending on sizing. Let's listen to that spin up time there though
it's almost four seconds to full
so right off the bat the performance is about what you'd expect it does not seem to hit as
hard as the springer variants on the mega blasters the megalodon for instance hits
much harder than this in stock configuration those follow-up shots were very very slow
barely making it to my door only 20 feet away that said we know this is not how we're going to keep
it so i'm really not criticizing the performance because i don't care i'm just going to mod it and
make it better i think right off the bat these motors are probably going to do just fine on 3s
and given that this is 6 volts now i think jumping up to double that will probably be
okay but i will do some testing and probably break one and see what happens ergonomically
as i said before it's not great but it does look really really cool i think it's like a
nice cross between the RapidStrike with the carry handle up top and the fore grip along
with the Stryfe mechanics inside as usual hasbro is cheaping out and we got no paint on this side
we just get two touches of paint white and gray this is of course the actual color of the plastic
but that's nothing new i would like to see if someone comes up with a full auto option for this
blaster because that could be pretty interesting as well assuming that we can get the flywheels
spinning faster to propel those darts a little quicker and catch up between shots a little faster
this is a 40 blaster i think considering all of their recent releases that's a pretty good value
the dart zone pro has kind of skewed all value with a 50 amazing blaster so it's hard to compare
directly but i do think it's a pretty competitive offering in the current marketplace as far as mods
on this blaster it's definitely going to take that rewire to a lipo i'm assuming we're going
to end up replacing the cage at least the cage if not the wheels to tighten up the spacing to get a
little more fps and i'm certainly going to replace at least this rev trigger and mag release i would
like to see a larger mag release on here much like the foam blast ones for the Stryfe that I sell on
the shop and this red trigger is just painful it's just not comfortable so we'll replace that with
something a little more comfortable and something that grabs a little more on an adult hand or a
larger hand you can see where my hand rests here it kind of cuts the middle of the finger rather
than supporting the entire middle finger for rev overall i think it's a really fun offering i think
people are going to have some fun with it it's not going to be competitive on the field in the same
way that say a rapid strike would be you're not carrying as much ammo the mega ammo doesn't fly
any farther but in a game type where you've got a specialty unit where mega actually does something
special it's going to make a big difference and i think that's going to be really really cool i will
have a lot more coming up for the mega moto strike we will definitely get some mod parts on the shop
i've got a few other big projects for the nexus and other blasters like the adventure force line
to do first but this is definitely on my list and we will have more later in the year. Thanks
