Hi all, I'm looking at getting a Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X series AEG, probably the SA-X01. I'm a little concerned about the tiny battery compartment, so have two questions. 1. What batteries do you all run in them? Do you recommend 7.4v or 11.1v? Keeping in mind I'll be using a lower power spring to keep it at UK limits, around 1.1J. I'd really appreciate if anyone could link to a battery that definitely fits the default battery compartment. 2. I've heard that SA offer an extension tube but I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere in stock. I've looked at a few 3D printed options. Does anyone have experience with any of these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4261002 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4886579 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4410545 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/specna-arms-x-series-buffer-tube-cap-battery-extension Thanks in advance!

Some one must have said Mack's has been very quiet past few days so they decided to do this for us haha.

Sometimes it helps to very gently press back on the air nozzle when closing the gearbox shell. It's hard to make out in the photo but the spring in your trigger might be causing an issue. Here is a video which I found useful.

On the plus side we get to laugh at them trying to justify their bullshit on Mack's

Sorry if this ends up being a really simple fix this I’ve been saving up all my upgrades i want in this gun to install at once and well I’ve installed the mosfet in my V3 gearbox (for the cm048). I’ve removed the plastic trigger contacts and the yaw control bar i think thats what it’s called, because I was told I didn’t need them. Once I’ve put it all together the tappet plate keeps pushing on one of the gears so now the shell doesnt close properly just unsure how to get it to keep on the little latch. its a gate aster V3 it anyone could also tell me if I’ve installed it correctly please 77655040914__759A96CC-F203-489B-AFE8-AB6D4F6EBA1E.MOV

That should be chunky enough.

Safe to assume the "undesirables" will migrate to here instead 😂

The last version. I replaced the laylax stock for the JMAC SS8-8RP + folding system JMAC and added wood parts: rizer, pistol grip and front grip (copy of the zenitco rk-6l).

As seems to often happen, I found myself back at Airsoft Plantation this morning. Tomo and Dan were absent, so I teamed up with a few other players I know. As we went out for the first game, a player's battery started smoking; this was dealt with efficiently and effectively by the marshals. The first game was a simple attack and defend in the woods (yay!). As the attackers, we had infinite regens on a marshal, while the defenders had two lives, one defending the wobbly bridge and the other defending a flag at long walk (it is called long walk because it is a long walk from the start point at the other end of the woods). Starting off on the left flank of our attack, I took out a few defenders and was then hit, so went in search of a marshal; having found one, I decided to move to the right flank as the woodland there is more open and easier to attack through. A large group of us swung wide to the right, hugging the edge of the playing area and pushing across the ditch just before the smoke grenade on wobbly bridge was detonated. With the first objective achieved, we continued our flanking movement, ending up attacking the flag at 90 degrees from our line of advance; it was secured and the game ended. The game was then turned around. I took up a position on the far right where a collection of fallen trees and a couple of ditches offer a number of interconnected positions. Early on, a couple of enemy players came by; I let them go past and then shot them from a distance, so that they would not know where the shots had come from. Soon after, a group of about 12 appeared; I let them go past and shot the rearmost four. The others went to ground; I potted a couple of them and could hear the others discussing where I was. This seemed to be a good time to reposition by using the cover of the ditch and the trees to fall back towards my colleagues. Unfortunately, as I moved back, one of those colleagues shot me by mistake, so I started the long walk to long walk, where I took up a position that covered both the flag and one of the main avenues through the woods. The latter provided a target rich environment and the MC51 scored a large number of hits before the flag was captured. I stayed out on the field, sitting on the bridge at the border, as the next game would see us attacking the village from there and I still had plenty of ammo. Other players eventually came out, as did a couple of marshals; from their radio chatter, it was apparent that they were looking for someone who was believed to still be out in the woods, possibly hurt. As I know them, I asked one of them who they were looking for; he looked at me, did a double take and said "you". Apparently, the guys had become concerned that I had not appeared in the safe zone and had told the marshals, who came looking for me. Anyway, for the next game, we had to get bombs to three targets in the village; we could regen on one of two marshals, one on the border and one on the firebreak, while the defenders had two lives. A group of us attacked along our right, overcoming determined opposition from two buildings before attacking across the conveniently dry pond to take the building behind it and move into that part of the village. The three targets were bombed in due course by part of our team who had swung right round the village and attacked from the rear, so we returned to the safe zone to take luncheon. Having dined and, as ever, marvelled at how Emily efficiently feeds so many players, the previous game was reversed. Defending the front edge of the village, I potted a good number of attackers before I was hit and fell back into the village woods to defend against any enemy attacking from the rear; quite a lot of them were and we had some great exchanges before they finally blew up the three targets. For the final game, both teams had to blow up a target in their opponents' base. Our target was the Bedford in the mortar pits, while theirs was the plane at the DEA base. Everyone could regen after falling back 30m and high fiving a colleague. I was with the group defending the plane; as the enemy could attack it from a 270 degree arc, we sent out a lot of small fighting patrols to intercept them, leading to many confused and messy encounters in the scrub. In one, I spotted a couple of chaps moving through the scrub; I shot the rearmost one and his companion and I exchanged shots, hitting each other. We shook hands and went to find colleagues to regen on; a marshal who had seen the encounter noted it as being a gentlemanly exchange. Eventually, the game timed out with neither side achieving their objective. It was an excellent, if rather warm and very humid, day of airsoft, with around 150 players present and some great play on both sides. It will probably be a while before I can play again, as I will be on Dartmoor next weekend (Hurrah!) and then have various other weekend commitments involving rehearsals and festival appearances. However, if I can squeeze a day in somewhere, I will. Weapons used Classic Army MC51 JG SA58 ASG XP18 Commander (CO2)
