This is a How to on this thread http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... d64cc6c067 its really easy in all respects
im only going to tell you how to get the motor out and make it run on a battery pack

Mats:
1 12-18V rechargeable battery
1 on/off switch
1 Portable air compressor, the kind ya plug into a car
Female/male wire connectors

Ok lets get started

first off pull the compressor apart to get to the motor and pump, most are different, you want to make sure the motor and pump are screwed together, if not put it back together and return it to the store, pick out a different one

now get the pump out

cut the plug off

run some extra wire from your battery pack to where the plug was

you want to pick a convenient spot for your switch, wire it in


in the end it should end up like the setup in my video here

now all you have to do is attach it to your Launcher
