Watch PART 2: • 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.

I’m not sure if your still answering but… when I popped the plastic where the gears are the shims came off and I need to know how many goes on each one. And the piston head do I have to cut that one part off seems like it fits I didn’t put it fully back on tho. I’m also trying to find a better motor that will increase the speed and hit harder if you know one please tell me. You said that metal rail likes to bend where can I find one that’s sturdier?

@engineerable Ай бұрын

Watch the video to see where the shims go. I also have another video that's just a teardown and reassembly. Better motor will require metal gears. Faster motor that can take higher voltage increases the rate of fire. A motor with more torque can compress a stronger spring for higher FPS. TBH, at that point, buy a better blaster in the $150+ range that is already upgraded, and can be more easily upgraded further.

can this work on a unlocx

@engineerable Жыл бұрын

UNLOCX has a V2 style airsoft gearbox, and the gears and piston should be compatible. It's probably an easier mod than the Splatrball

If I just want the metal gears do I still need to get everything else

You need all the parts. The stock plunger is not compatible with the metal gears.

Thank you! One more question, I was on the website and read a little of the text, but if I want to use a 11.1v battery do I have to upgrade the gear box too or just the gears/ metal gears.

@engineerable Жыл бұрын

@@zapponpc2965 TBH, the cost of doing all those upgrades with the stock non-standard gearbox is not worth it when you can buy a much better blaster for the same cost. Check out the gel blasters between $100 and $150 www.engineerable.com/single-post/what-are-the-best-gel-blasters-of-2023

I watched the whole video and it seems like a process to upgrade the SRB blaster. I just like the simplistic look and design of the SRB400, I looked at the other blasters that you linked, which I liked, but I don’t like the design very much, the blaster looks too real!

@@zapponpc2965 Agreed, but it would be time better spent to get the higher quality blaster and downgrade the appearance. 3D print mods to change the appearance to less realistic.
