    1 Problem fixed, and another arises!

    If your cylinder has a port, are you sure that you put the cylinder head on the right end? It sounds like a lack of air volume.

    ics m4 gearbox upgrade advice.

    Better off getting a smart charger that has peak detection so as to not risk damaging the cells.

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    One thing that I guess can let down the service, is that once the order goes through it can take them a few days to get it to ship. If you use EMS, it usually lands in the UK within 2 days of leaving WGC which is pretty quick if you ask me. When emailing them, I'd say forget the reference...

    Single shot has disappeared (King Arms OA-15 M7)

    Either an issue with the selector plate, or your cut off lever has worn out. Open the gearbox - if you got the know how - and spin the gears manually to see how the sector gear engages the cut off lever. On single fire mode, it should raise the lever as it engages which when the gearbox is...

    ics m4 gearbox upgrade advice.

    If it's not broken don't fix it mate. FPS can be upped with a simple spring change, will cost around a tenner depending on the brand. If your piston head isn't ported, then I'd recommend getting one for better seal and maybe change the cylinder head to one with 2 O-rings if your current one only...

    Contacting foreign retailers - do they ever respond or is it just me they don't like?

    I'm very loyal to WGC as they have never let me down. Their guns come packaged extremely well, was particularly happy with my VFC HK417 it had enough bubble wrap to make it bounce back up should it be dropped LOL But yeah just register with them, and I'm sure they'll reply. Sometimes they may...

    Going from a Ni-Mh to a lipo

    Well I never said "lower voltage is better" and in any case the voltages I recommended are nowhere near low enough to cause the problems you speak off. Also, the voltage doesn't ultimately dictate how fast the motor will spin, it's the overall spec of the battery i.e. mah and c ratings. You can...

    Going from a Ni-Mh to a lipo

    Motors only draw the amps they need so you don't really need to worry about burning it out. What you need to consider when choosing a battery us how well your gun is internally tuned. If it's stock it's best to stick to 9.6v nimhs or 7.4v 20C lipos for the sake of longevity.

    TM/ICS sig

    Although I can't give a definitive answer, ICS uses a proprietary gearbox and is not TM compatible generally. So I don't think so fella.

    Patrol Base

    I use Patrol Base for all my ammo needs. Can't beat their deals on BBs, pair that with the service and you have a really good retailer.

    Whats a Reliable Budget AEG?

    Chinese clone gearboxes are built with solid components, but can often be put together badly due to bad quality control. CYMA AKs and JG M4s/G36s in my experience give the best bang for the sterling especially if you compare internal components part for part. Sometimes though they just need some...

    Classic Army - Airsoft Rifle, AEG M15A4, upgradeable?

    bigshep gave pretty solid advice. Before you start messing around with it play several games first and get a feel of it. Once you get some skirmishes under your belt you'll know what yolu like and what you don't like. Areas of stregths and areas of weaknesses. Changing the hop rubber should...

    King Arms 15x help needed

    You'll find loads of videos on youtube mate, M4 platforms usually utilise a version 2 gearbox which all essentially takedown the same way. Be careful as you open it up as it's very easy for things to fly out in all directions due to the spring tension.

    quick question

    A 12V battery will almost certainly destroy your gun internally as well as melt the contacts which pass current when you pull the trigger. Stick to 9.6v batteries until you've adequately tuned the gearbox i.e. shim the gears, upgrade the piston to one with atleast 7 metal teeth, lube the...
