    Trying this out tomorrow:

    jLDXOHm.jpeg


    If I like it, I'll buy it from my teammate.

    Skara
    Hosting a 12h night tournament this weekend.

    I don't know what to wear, or what gun(s) to bring.

    Skara
    I have four V3 tappet plates.

    All four have different lengths and each one of them pulls the nozzle up to a certain point (only one pulls it all the way).

    Wii tech

    SHS

    E&L

    Small Italian brand.

    Guess which one seems to be working best?

    Skara
    Fuck Combat Union.

    Fuck E&L.

    Fuck me for buying both.

    The problem with wedging the gearbox forward is that the motor is then pulled back by the pistol grip, and in my case, no matter how well I shim the box it'll always sound like a bag of nails because the motor is pulled out of alignment.

    I'm gonna give it one more shot tonight, if it fails, I'll buy the Cyma.

    Skara
    Skara
    Yup, as expected, the last attempt failed.

    Cyma CM.045 here we go!

    yeah it can be a tricky thing,

    suppose tbf the fusion build wasn't exactly concerned with the motor engagement.

    i've had some limited success with a grub screw through the alignment tab on the motor cage to put sideways tension on it, but that doesn't always help.

    Skara
    E&L gearbox crapped itself and now the selector lever screw hole is fucked.

    Should I call it quits and install a cyma gearbox shell in it? (Will transplant all the internals obviously)

    Yeah thats about all you can do with the e&l original bolt, surprised its managed to fail.

    Sadly cant really advise on the shells, all me e&l's were running original casings although one would presume your standard cyma pattern wouldnt be too far off (subject to usual airsoft compatibility)

    Skara
    Skara
    Yeah, but heh, it's dead now.

    At this point I am considering a Retro Arms gearbox, once I am sure it'll fit 

    Adolf Hamster

    hard to say really.

    the only work i've done with a non-standard shell in an e&l body was installing a v3 fusion engine, which took a little fettling.

    i have worked on a retro arms box, although that was in an lct body, can't say i was particularly impressed with it, shiny yes but didn't seem to be practically any better than a stock casing.

    Skara
    Turns out my piston head shook itself loose inside the gearbox.

    Now there's a metric fuckton of thread lock in there.

    Try and come out now, twat!

    The sheer brutality of 1J builds. ?

    I had something similar happen, the screw on the piston head came loose and the attached bearings spilled out and jammed the piston.

    made a sound like a wailing cat ?

    Skara
    Skara
    Mine was working fine! Except that there was no air coming out of the barrel..

    I got very lucky the screw didn't make its way into the gears!

    One week before a fun 21h event and my ankle decides to commit sudoku.

    Feels good to be a wreck at 30yo....

    Edit: of course the good ankle, not the one with 30 tons of titanium still in it -.-

    Can you play in a less physical role?

    Last game I did a chap twisted his ankle first day in and ran all the coms for the rest of the week.  

    Skara
    Skara
    Unfortunately not, our role is to hike around the place doing shit.

    I do feel much better than yesterday to be fair, at least I didn't wake up cursing every deity known to man like I did yesterday.

    Ankle is still swollen and looks like a melon, I have no idea how it happened, I just woke up like that. I guess I strained my Achilles's tendon because rocking my foot back and forth hurts like a bitch.

    Skara
    So I ordered one delta mike snood which was posted the day after, a week later I ordered a thing on AliExpress.

    DM snood is still at customs, the AliExpress parcel is on delivery.

    Wtf?

    All the AliExpress orders I've made always go through the Netherlands, I think it's one way to avoid national customs or something like that.

    Last week I sent a very small package (250g) to Italy via UPS, cost nearly £50 to send! (Holy Fuck).  Crazy to think that previous month I visited Milan and flight only cost me just £15 ?

    I do top1 in a small category of AliExpress. The choice of transportation channels is different. Most are tax-included. Taxes are displayed when you pay. Often the declared value is low. Reduce taxes.

    Bit of a dumb question:

    Where the fuck can I find an E&L B11 handguard?

    Skara
    The E&L curse continues!

    Apparently now the motor is dead. As in the mosfet thinks it's unplugged.

    At first I thought the mosfet crapped itself, but then plugged a different motor in and it worked fine, but I can't use that one as it's a long axis motor.

    And I thought the AAP was turning into a money pit......

    Skara
    Let's play a game:

    Guess what makes my AK mosfet overheat and shut down?

    (I have no clue btw, I am opening it right now)

    Thanks but I think I know how to put a gearbox together :D

    It's just a matter of opening it again, cleaning all the grease from the mosfet sensors and reassemble again.

    And then do a proper test on the field to see if it overheats.

    strykerles
    strykerles
    I had that problem with a titan, had a blob of grease right on the sensor ?

    Skara
    Skara
    Yeah it's a mess, just like my life ?

    Skara
    Tfw you're too lazy to fix your broken high cap so you use midcaps instead  :D

    Now that I have a real Odin I might use midcaps more often

    Skara
    And the E&L curse just hit me too.

    Didn't touch the rifle for a while, now it's rusted to all fuck -.-

    Oh well, time to make it look battle worn -.-

    Just some wd (or your preferred gun oil brand) and a rub-down with a rag.

    Tends to clean up nice most of the time.

    Skara
    Skara
    Yep, I needed to take it apart anyway since the mosfet keeps shutting down due to overheating.

    I'll give it a good clean tomorrow

    Skara
    Can't be arsed to start jogging or going to the gym.

    Might get back to BMX/MTB riding...

    Oh well, another 5k down the drain :D

    MTB, actually. Street/dirt and DH/FreeRide for the most part, I got bored to death a few years ago (got ultra fat in the meantime) and was thinking of picking a BMX to try something new (and better suited rather than a 26" frame and 24" wheels lol)

    Skara

    Was looking at decent completes but the only one available here is a Mankind Libertad (at about €600), full cromoly frame, forks and bars with what appears to be mid tier parts.

    Just remember no one ever got knocked down and killed by a drunk driver when they where sat on their fatarse watching Netflix and NOT out jogging ! You have been warned .

    Tournament today.

    600km drive, slept 3 hours and I'm pissed off already. First cunt who doesn't call hits is getting a buttstock in his teeth.

    If that wasn't enough now teammates are asking me for extra batteries and shit.

    Couldn't see it, we got stuck in traffic on the highway and came home 5h later than we should have.

    The tournament was meh btw, I'll write about it tomorrow on my thread.

    Skara
    I give up.

    Either SHS springs aren't what it says on the package or I got everything wrong in my life.

    229mm barrel, 3/4 cylinder, great air seal. Two teeth removed from the sector.

    SHS m100 chronos at 1.25J

    What the fuck?

    Skara
    Yeah, this m100 isn't an m100 at all.

    Luckily I had this unnamed spring that dropped the power down to 0.91/0.92J :D

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Yes, I bought an SHS M100 a couple of years back from some cowboy outfit, M42AK, or similar, and ended up getting 1.3J (humblebrag) out of a stock CYMA piston, 3/4 cylinder and a 229mm 6.02 ZCI barrel.  Ouch.

    Mind you, a Kyou M90 spring dropped it to 1.1J, which is about what I'd expect, so I'm not sure of the SHS was that much over, or if it was just my awesome, accidental air-sealing skills that did it.

    Pretty much what happened.
