Watch Part 1: • How To UPGRADE SPLATRB... | In this video series, I show how to upgrade the Splatrball gearbox to all-metal gears with a stronger spring. The main purpose of this upgrade is to replace the plastic gears that strip and break easily. A gel blaster that doesn't fire and makes a high-pitched whining noise has stripped its gears, usually the motor pinion gear strips the bevel gear. The gears need to be replaced. There are no plastic replacement gears that match the original gears, particularly the unusual dimensioned piston plunger. The plastic gears would eventually strip again anyways. So upgrading to the metal gears will repair the gearbox, and increase the durability of the blaster.

Splatter Ball blaster is the most commonly available blaster sold in the US. It can be found at many Walmart stores, sporting goods, and online. It is sold by Daisy.
CAUTION! - Splatrball and other Gel Blasters should be treated as weapons and should not be used in public or areas where someone who is not part of the game can be hit. The police will charge you with assault with a weapon. There have been multiple instances in the news of people (mainly teens) being charged with crimes for shooting unsuspecting people in public. The gel ball projectiles can cause permanent injury to unprotected eyes and face.

Really informative videos, I knew nothing about this before watching! One question, I want to make my Splatrball blasters quieter, do you have any recommendations on how I could do that? I have read about putting a damper on the piston head, but I'm not sure how to do it/how effective it would be...

@engineerable 5 ай бұрын

I haven't tried reducing the noise, because I've also read that the resultsfrom the damper piston heads are not worth the cost/effort, and can introduce other issues. Adding foam around the gearbox will probably have a better noise reduction.

Shouldn't the nozzle go past the feed tube in the t piece? It seems to stop short just before loading the next ball to be fired. But that's just an observation without the piece being on. Just seems short for some reason
