Well I have reported the fundraiser to Go Fund Me.

January 30

I think what happened is that I charged a 7.4v battery, not realising there was an 11.1 still connected (it was flopped over the side of the counter).

So somehow my charger has jammed 8 volts worth of angry pixies into 2 cells, whilst leaving cell 3 alone (4v).

I would have expected the charger to see these two cells were at the correct voltage though or at least move angry pixies from one battery to the other.

This is the actual Go Fund Me page.

To me the silly low target amount and the blurb being written in the third person, despite the Fundraiser supposedly being Ollie himself raises many suspicions.

Am I happy to report it to the website? I don't know the poor guy well enough to say this is someone else.

I didn't think it was possible to get a lipo cell to 8v.

I think my charger is just confused, because I have the 3 red wires out of the balance plug, and it is definitely 8, 8, 4 on the 3 cells.

Now it's more an investigation rather than a salvage mission.

If its being disposed of, it being done so in a totally irresponsible manner of shooting the crap out of it whilst sitting in a containment dish. 😜

Actually, I've just got my posh multimeter out to double check.... 2 cells at 8ish volts and one at 4v.

Yet the charger now reports 8, 8 and 0

Hmm.

January 29

Somehow, I've manged to charge a 7.4v lipo, whilst simultaneously discharging a single cell of an 11.1v battery I didn't realise was connected to the charger at the same time.

I didn't think that was possible on a balance charger, but there you go. Cell 3 is sitting at a little over 4v so I'm guessing it is screwed.

All I can think of is to brute force it at very low amps by using crocodile clips on NIMh battery mode until I get to 3v or so, then put it back toghether and do a lroper cycle with it.

The pack itself isn't puffed up too badly which is the one promising thing.

Doh - just noticed that link was an editable one.

Will leave it as that because I'm hoping people here are trustworthy enough not to ruin a resource for everyone else. LOL.

Thanks in advance for anyone that does contribute in a positive way. For anyone that does a naughty..... I have guns. Lots of guns. My dad has several real ones too.

Here's a linky to my BB Spreadsheet. It needs an update, but was accurate as of October.

Be patient grasshopper. Things will happen in the fullness of time. Wait and all that you desire will become one with you. 🙏

All for the positive vibes, but peeps have handed over cash a year ago, Admin have been linked, replies to other threads have been made, and not even an acknowledgement of the requests for an update.

Yet we have the very entertaining Macks dreamers thread. As THE forum for seasoned players and newbies, I would hope we represented the respectable side of the hobby. Wanted or not, the forum admin/owners really need to step up on this one, even if we are only dealing with a few fivers here and there.

I did a charity T shirt fundraiser for the Tsunami in Japan years ago when I was an Admin of a Jap car club that ran to a fair chunk of money. Transparency of the funds was of upmost importance. I even DMd pics of envelopes and addresses as part of proof of postage. I might even have the spreadsheet somewhere LOL.

Now if you don't mind, I have 20 minutes left of Navy Seals to watch and I am desperately trying to think of a reason not to buy myself a TM MP5 for my birthday. 😆

DanBow · January 28

Bit out of order that admin aren't responding to this thread even though they have in others.

great site at Ft Amherst, sadly missed 😢

Been to that Fort when I was little (my dad was from there). Used to sneak out into the estuary with him and my brother to go camping on the medway forts (Darnet & Hoo) which was a bit naughty even in the 80's. Sailing out on an overloaded, puncture ridden Avon rubber dinghy with a clapped out 4hp Johnson outboard motor, that I don't remember ever making a journey of any length without breaking down no matter how much he tested it in a bucket the day before.

Fun times. 🤣

caused by the Titan adaptive AB feature

Interesting information. Do you have a suggestion for the best setting for this feature?

Tackle · January 26

Who has to go to Chatham? 🤣

DanBow · January 25

We get it with a certain boiler spares supplier - their ebay shop is cheaper than their website.

January 25

For vids, I would upload them to Youtube, set them to "unlisted" (unless you don't mind other people watching other than us) then past the linky into your post - that way you are consuming Google's storage not your accounts.

At the distances I'm usually using a pistol I could pretty much use any BBs

That's what makes pistol kills feel better than most others though isn't it? The Whites of their eyes and the (usually) being the underdog victory.

Quite looking forward to some pistol and shottie only games at the new place when it opens.

Bought off this very site.

WE Sig P226 gbbp. Noice.

I always preferred Glocks and Desert Eagles.... but lately the Sig has been making a small itch in certain pew related places.

I have one or two spare mags that get dumped into an ikea type storage box & was looking on fleabay last week thinking I could buy some ammo boxes to store them all a bit better. Long story short, I dragged them all out to see how many spare mags I had & which types, took a piccie to post on here and realised that I don't need any ammo boxes... I have webbing hanging all over my mancave with ready made pouches. only got around 6 spares without a home now (mainly a couple of AK & some Galil mags).

I'm not sure if this is a flex, or a cry for help. 🤣

I'm having a "silent running" episode with Bespoke Airsoft. They've ignored a couple of emails about a problem I have with a purchase. Will give them a chance as I've not had an opportunity to speak to a human first hand.

Don't know channel, but my sympathies. If he's been given three months, that could still mean anything. My friend recently lost her mum to a particularly nasty form of cancer, nearly 12 months after her original prognosis.

DanBow · January 23

I use pistols rarely in practice and when I do it's usually as part of a suicide charge or being sneaky. Also a recently introduced rule at our site... brought in to try and stop l said suicide charges by a few of us regualrs whereby everyone has to be armed.

So I only use .2s for budgetary reasons and a bottle of "oh balls, what were these again".

January 22

Is it worth using .25s? Surely .2s would be more wallet friendly?

My favourite part was where they stole the description straight from ActionHobbies, who are retailing this new for £150

Trader, dreamer, or scammer?

I was going to suggest a game of find the original website - but you had to ruin it didn't you
