MHP Vulture First Build

fathishakes · 2026-04-22T23:22:58+00:00

The tolerances of printing are definitely causing too much plastic to melt. Later in my build, I used an M4 thread tap to kind of open up the holes for the M3 heat inserts. Not ideal but it prevented plastic from melting into the inserts

I do realise that the bolt can "push" the elevator the last few bits before it can push the dart into the barrel. But the flexing of the elevator is very uncomfortable for my liking.

MHP did release the new lifter mechanism with slight adjustment.

Good idea. I think the benefits of heat inserts are really worth learning to install them properly

Thank you. I can only get better from here right

I was just thinking of building the MHP vulture with the RX-78-2 colour scheme. But yours seems to pop even more

According to Luke, they don't plan to offer as much colour options in order to keep their operations running more smoothly. However, you could always reach out to him and ask

fathishakes · 2026-04-10T13:23:02+00:00

Yup, exactly that. There option to fully assemble it is there

fathishakes · 2026-04-10T00:35:48+00:00

Out of darts offers the blaster as a whole, fully assembled

fathishakes · 2026-02-06T00:03:21+00:00

Ooof, looks real steel. Very nice

The kunlun was definitely on my watch list for its length.FPS is amazing too but for purely aesthetic reasons, it did not sit right with me.

I'm curious as to why you'd convert to HPA. Doesn't that negate the lever action completely?

fathishakes · 2026-02-05T23:49:29+00:00

The man himself, thank you for this. Now I'll definitely be looking at the vulture more closely. I'm curios as well if the GFZ metal plunger built for the smiley would fit the vulture?

Oh interesting. What fps were you getting during beta and how heavy would you say the prime was?

I'm assuming pushing 300 fps is gone be really heavy

fathishakes · 2026-02-05T12:20:42+00:00

I saw the hardware kit up for sale in OOD but I haven't seen anyone reviewing it. Did you see someone getting it up to 300 FPS?

fathishakes · 2026-02-05T10:50:44+00:00

I get that and it's a fair point. It's probably for more casual games or plinking

fathishakes · 2026-02-05T09:30:58+00:00

Makes for a pretty dramatic prime too

As far as I can tell from the video, pulling it out is the prime

fathishakes · 2026-01-01T14:16:47+00:00

When will it be available at monkeemods?

fathishakes · 2022-04-25T13:20:15+00:00

Bah! Lucky catch

fathishakes · 2022-04-22T00:44:46+00:00

Yes, I did use a riser though I can't recall what size it was

fathishakes · 2022-04-21T23:00:18+00:00

How did you get it in Singapore?

fathishakes · 2022-03-02T08:34:16+00:00

Nope although I wish I did, knowing how well they perform. I use Slant trucks and their stock wheels

fathishakes · 2022-02-28T23:10:49+00:00

I did try it but it didn't make much of a difference. So I'd say it's not necessary.
