The Nerf Rival Challenger is the first ball-fed flywheeler we've seen from Hasbro in a long while. Essentially "the Rival Stryfe," it's a straight mag, semi auto blaster, and it's a worthwhile buy for the price alone. Still, using six AA alkaline batteries for 12v nominal isn't the most ideal setup as far as performance. This is our own modification tutorial in our "crystal clear" style, rewiring the blaster to take a LiPo and bringing the performance up closer to the par that the Perses established in 2019.
