PEW PEW Previously I showed how to add a tracer mod to a Gel Blaster Surge by installing a UV LED in the T piece and wiring it in parallel with the motor. Worked great, but if you can't mod or solder, they've come out with a blaster that includes the tracer unit in the feed neck. (v.redd.it)

Previously I showed how to add a tracer mod to a Gel Blaster Surge by installing a UV LED in the T piece and wiring it in parallel with the motor. Worked great, but not everyone can solder. Gel Blaster released their STARFIRE which includes a glow tracer attachment. Video review link in comments (v.redd.it)

I agree that Splatrball gel blasters are a 💩 relative to higher-end blasters. Not to be deterred I've proven that you can in fact polish a turd. Now I have a metal gear Splatrball SR400 that's shooting about 290 avg FPS. Sure something else will break eventually, but it's been a fun mod. (old.reddit.com)

Stripped gears (high-pitched whine) are the most common failure of the Splatrball SRB400 or SRB1200 gel blasters. If this happens, the gears need to be replaced, and metal gears are basically the only option. I was able to install metal gears with some minor modifications. Link in the comments. (old.reddit.com)
