pewpewpew BCAR (Wide-Body Design + 3D printed pins)
A Visually Distinct BCAR with Good Performance
Overview
Designed by Mr. Liu, this BCAR was originally created for his Jolt Zhu Rong mod. That’s why there’s a short 10-axis BCAR version — it fits the setup perfectly.
That’s actually one of its unique features. While most people are chasing higher FPS, BCARs optimized for lower-FPS builds are surprisingly rare.
Another distinctive feature is that this BCAR uses pins instead of screws. This virtually eliminates bearing wobble. There’s also an observation (with absolutely no proof) that bearing wobble may cause tail instability in foam darts. When using pins, this issue becomes extremely rare (Based on very limited testing samples — feel free to buy and experience it yourself:P)
Of course, the downside of pins is obvious: installation is extremely difficult. Since both the pins and bearings have manufacturing tolerances, the amount of time spent selecting matching parts and assembling them can be unbearable.
Later, 3D-printed pins were adopted, and basically all of these problems were solved.
Performance
I tested 10Axies Bcar on my Jolt Zhu Rong Origin using 1.7mm spring. Visually, the dart flies very straight without any wobbling.

Design Notes
-
The primary difference from other BCARs is visual, not performance-related
-
Features a wider, “fat” BCAR profile for users who prefer a more substantial look
-
Performance is comparable to standard BCAR designs
