Warpless z2

[Syko89]

Ok so I was bored and decided I should hack up a loader :what:


Damn compared to the halo line the z2 has no room for this. Cut down the elbow and had to thin it down a little more than half of the material to get it to sit in the existing Raceway as I wanted to cut the z2 as little as possible.


Had to notch the battery block to get it to fit will look into other power options later


Almost there!





Now I just need paint to test run in. Notice the motor is the same size as a halo one so might get some high torque motors depending on how the stock one holds up.

First try and works great. I had nothing but old paint. I will try to get some fresh stuff and kick the rof up in the next video.

Nice!

That video makes me appreciate living in the AZ desert!

Yeah Winter sucks but I will say I would rather rush for cover behind a oak or pine trees than your local vegetation.

could you post pics of how easy to remove the front is for cleaning?

Very nice look

Hey! Winter is awesome!

Hiding in the ground clutter during an intense snow squall, watching your opponent, knowing he hasn't got a hope in hades of seeing a static target through the snow

Sliding behind logs is much more painless with a few inches of white padding

Need fortifications? Bring a shovel

Tracking/hunt games

Automags work pretty well even with spindrift everywhere. Not everything does you know...

On a more relevant note, I may need to try a left feed some day

[Syko89]

I will when I get home but the elbow coming out of the loader is not secured on inside the loader. Instead it is sandwiched with the bracket at the bottom and the warp body at the top. Loosening the clamps at the body and the elbow slides right off and then the nose can be removed as any other z2

Sounds like I might have to pick up a used z2, my modded halo just did not hold up and was a pain to use in this configuration.

[Syko89]

I did it on a halo 2 and it worked great. The key with the halo is you have to use a upgrade to the motor

I want one! Do you have a parts list?

Some straight 3/4in copper pipe
Some fix stix "epoxy puddy"
Some quick set 2 part epoxy

Sweet. Im going to have to try this.. I have a prophecy laying around. If there was a demand for it, maybe we could come up with 3d printed loader trays for various loaders that feed up.

Sure seems like there is interest any time one of these types of threads get posted. Think I've only see one that wasn't Halo-ish, can't remember what it was. Loader trays and quality mounting brackets would do a lot for these types of setups. Think my halo's death was mostly brought on by a poorly milled bracket putting too much strain on the shell.

You actually would not need a new loader. Both the halo Raceway and the z2 come apart where the paint feeds towards the feedneck. 3d print a new piece that diverts the feed path up.

That would be sweet!

I'd be down for one!

I wouldn't want to stock them but would do a small run if I could sell them upfront.
