Here is my finished modified nerf stampede.

All the parts that were yellow on the guns was painted gold, and almost all of the rest was painted black. 

If you didn't see my earlier photos of this, then I will tell you what I have done.
I fully modified a nerf maverick to the best of my potential, cut a part of the stampede off, and part of the handle off of the maverick and glued the maverick onto the under barrel of the stampede. It is basically a stampede/ maverick integration.
No modifications had been done to the stampede until I had painted it, but since then I have upped the voltage to the motor in the stampede by soldering on a battery pack that holds 8 AA batteries. This makes the gun shoot about 4 shots per second. This also made the gun quite lighter, and more balanced all together. With the 6 D cell batteries in the back the gun was really back heavy; but now with the modified battery pack the gun is lighter and shoots faster. Overall I think this is the best nerf gun modification I have ever done.
Please leave me some feedback. Is this a good idea at all?
Also, I would like to know how I could put the name of the gun (Golden Eclipse) onto the stampede somehow?

How do you cock and fire the maverick? It looks like it would not fit any normal way you hold a gun, so I am interested to know how you pull this off! Amazing job by the way!

Get the gears and the other internal parts cast in metal. Then upgrade the motor and spring. I like it!

Stencil it on? Or if you are lazy you could use a clear label maker....

The thing with the plastic, it has a dial on top with all the letters, and you press on the shape to a strip of thick material, cut it, peel off the paper revealing the adhesive, and put somewhere, commonly used for such things, but not to cool for something like this

Better paint the end of the barrel orange if you're in the US...

Well, then, have fun with that. I kinda wish I was in Canadia; my Vulcan looks kinda dumb with a bright orange barrel end on it.

Ummm, i kinda think it would be better if it popped a little, or if it was carved in, idk, how thick is the plastic? Maybe you can carve it in a little and paint?
Oct 1, 2011. 8:52 PMSenior Waffleman says:
Nice, and make it with the lines in the middle, and make it kinda scratched so it looks worn :D
