Thanks for all the responses so far, really appreciate it! So with the polarity of the tamiya connector changes so the negative and positive is consistant, I am still getting nothing from the motor. The fuse looks to still be intact too which was a suggestion from discord that trying to run the motor without the wires on the tamiya changes may have blown the fuse. My gut feel is that I am now going to need to open up the box, first time for everything I suppose 😅

@strykerles - I just noticed that too actually.. is there any way to remedy this apart from fitting a brand new tamiya connector? Sorry, double replies there - browser was being wierd! Yes, unfortunately I think that is exactly the issue and yep it was from eBay! Reading quickly, looks like this is more for an RC setup and not airsoft. Let me give it a bash mate and see how I get on, thanks for the assistance so far! Managed to re-wire that tamiya connector to keep positive and negative the same throughout but still unfortunately getting nothing. Heading out shortly so will try again in a bit.

@Shamal - Motor connections physically look and feel okay. The connection from the lower gearbox onto the motors may be slightly on the looser side of things but still fit snug onto the positive and negatives of the motor. @strykerles - Yeah, fuse is still in tact after it spun. When it did spin, I was moving the selector plate with my hand to see if I could engage the trigger contacts and connection must have been made somewhere. It was only a single very short spin, as it it was semi-auto. Also, just for reference I have attached an image. If you need any other images to assist do just let me know. [EDIT] Looking at the photo below, I have actually just noticed a possible issue. The positive and negative wires flip from the tamiya connectors i.e. red (positive) from battery then goes into black (negative) from the back of the wiring harness. Could that be the issue? Thanks,

Hi all, So I have had a G&G Firehawk passed on to me from a friend and unfortunately straight away I have ran into an issue. Initially I hooked up a 1300 mAh 7.4v 20C LIPO and was getting zero trigger response on either full auto or semi. Double checked that the battery was charged using a mutlimeter, and it was. I then moved to the rear wiring loom going from the butstock out to the tamiya battery connector, the fuse connection looked slightly off so I have replaced this wiring and fuse. Tried again with the battery and still nothing. I have now taken the gearbox out of the lower and tried connecting the motor and battery up, and oddly I have had the motor function only once, which scared the crap out of me as I was just expecting it not to work. So I have had a single rotation of the motor on semi and I cannot replicate that at all unfortunately. I am thinking my next step is to open up the gearbox and check trigger contacts but I just want to get any advice before I go ahead and open this up. Thanks,
