concretesnail got a reaction from Rogerborg in G&G CM16 Raider 2.0Le Mods/Upgrades
What is it lacking? What have you done so far?
If you've done nothing I'd start with getting the barrel throughly cleaned and the hop set.

I'd second max when it comes to therapy bands. I've been using them to help rehab my knee after reconstruction surgery.

concretesnail reacted to Rogerborg in Airsoft Battery Advice
We had a good rant about that recently: it's an awful way of limiting motor / gear speed. If you're getting problems it's better to drop to 7.4V (or 9.9V LiFe) than to use an 11.1V that's trying to spin the motor fast, but can't keep up with the draw. That's only going to end badly for the battery.
tl;dr version - higher C is (nearly) always better.

concretesnail got a reaction from Werdna in Airsoft Battery Advice
Generally its fine but that's a loaded question. It would depend on the aeg in question. The lipo will only give what the system demands and in worst case scenario, die trying.
Some manufacturers think its okay to use the battery as the limiting factor and recommend batteries with low 'C' ratings so the battery suffer voltage drop and keep running rather than burning out poor quality components.

The krytac has a mosfet already so you should need to worry about contacts and that page doesn't say anything about voltage so I'd suggest try it.
I'd always use a battery that can handle what'd be asked of it. I'd rather the mosfet ie than a lipo pushed into failure next to my face.
Treat them with respect and lipo can be great batteries, I use a lot of them.

concretesnail got a reaction from Rogerborg in Overspin / double-firing on semi with 11.1v
A friend of mine has just fitted one o these and is over the moon with the performance.
He's just made the jump to 11.1 as well. Active brake should fix the over spin, the setting would be dependant on the system but the instructions are easy to follow.

concretesnail got a reaction from TheFull9 in vertical foregrips with pressure switch housing
I've had grips with sections of relief in them for tape switches to sit in, mostly vertical grips and bipod types. in the end I've given up on them, the angle is never quite right for my hand positions or length of fingers.
I started using heat shrink or tape on better grips and more recently I picked up some sectional elastic sleeves and they have been great.

It should fit, though it might me worth having a look at ak2m4.co.uk
They usually have standalone shells and if you retain the components from your current box it'd be cheaper and make changes that you want to.

concretesnail got a reaction from Paul72 in IMAX B6AC V2 Charger Broken Trace
As you mentioned don't opt for a clone. One of the fpv guys I fly with opened a clone up out curiosity and it wasn't a good thing to seeing long that people are buying these and then charging large lipos with them.
If your looking at a new charger I'd suggest looking at hobby shops. I use hobbyrc.co.uk a lot and the customer service has always been great. They stock sky rc and idst chargers, both of which are solid and worth a look.

concretesnail got a reaction from Rogerborg in What is reasonable wear and tear for an airsoft RIF?
Having been through a very similar situation recently, with John Lewis and a vr headset thermal shutdown issue, I wish you best of luck.
Just make sure you have everything in writing and record calls where it can't be done via email.

concretesnail got a reaction from TheFull9 in Fitting an M4 stock to a fixed buffer tube M16
You'll need an aeg buffer tube with mounting hardware, then you'll likely have to cut down the mounting tube to match the length required in the buffer tube or make a spacer.
You'll also need an aeg sling plate to seal the back of the receiver and guide the wiring into the tube.
Ak2m4.co.uk is a good place to start for buffer tube, they had some with hardware included.

concretesnail got a reaction from snuff in Multi charge board
I've mixed capacity before as the packs are the same cell count but don't mix cell counts (different total voltage).
If all your packs are resting at the same voltage then its OK.
For a good guide it's worth having a run through videos by Joshua Bardwell as a good guide.
If you do decide that it's not for you then I'd look at a multipack charger.
Skyrc and isdt both do a good duel charger, it's effectively two chargers sharing a psu, but you can set each one separately.

Won’t lie I think I did a man wee over it 🥴

I use them for flight batteries and they can be used safely.
Do some reading around parallel charging lipos, then decide if it's for you. If all you batteries are the same then its easier.

There's the g&g 308 range with a range of models all having different barrel lengths

concretesnail got a reaction from Nick G in TR16 running hot every half dozen shots
If its been sat about might have been dry orings bleeding air. Cycles through some lube and re-seated and sealed up so carry on.
Glad you got sorted.

concretesnail got a reaction from MAX DICKER in Surefire UK sellers?
Streamlight do make some good stuff.
Have a wander over to tactical waffles. Site is minimal but the chap who runs it often has high end light setups for sale on a discord thread I'm on so I'd give him a shout via the contact point on the site.

Finally got where it wants to be I think.
Custom rail and folding stock, pts stock and grip red light and tracer in the suppressor. Padded 5.11 sling and magpul 7.62 pulls

That's unfortunate, I'd agree with nick, start at the hop and air seal then work your way back.
It's unlikely that a it's going tongain performance from nowhere, much more likely that's an issue being hidden by spring weight that occasionally works effectively.
