@ButcherBill x mas has been so I have abit haha and @MrTea thanks I will have a look.

The place I bought it from said that the warranty was only for 2 months and with me opening the gear box I am assuming my warranty is shot? @ButcherBill

@ButcherBill I have only had the arp for 4 months so I don't want to swap it out just yet but thanks for the advice I will go ahead with it. Thanks

@ButcherBill @Austeyr The price includes the aster also and no i cannot install it. As proven by today haha. But you feel the price is good? As I dont know much about prices of tec stuff. Many thanks

Hello, I own a ARP 9 and I use 11.1 lipos with said ARP. Recently the trigger contact wore out. After a painful 5 hours of fighting with the springs and circuits I fixed the issue as the contact was just loose or something. It then failed again. I am now in a dilemma and need a second opinion. So I use my ARP once every week and need it to be reliable and to be able to last a long time as it's the only AEG I own. I have been talking to FUBAR BUNDY in Leeds and they say that they can fit a optical mosfet GATE ASTER. They would install this for £135 obiously providing the aster and do a service for £35 so £170 all in. The gun only cost me £275. I mainly want some one else to install it because after the horrors of today I don't want to experience it again. Is this a good price for installation and a service? Also will the ASTER last me along time and is it reliable? Thanks

Hello @Colin Allen @EDcase. So today I completely disassembled my ARP 9. So looking at the internals everything looks ok. So here are my plans after listening to your advice and tell me if this sounds like a good plan. Plan A So first of all I am going to buy the Perum ETU. https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/perun-airsoft-gg-etu-mosfet-deans-programable-42705-p.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopl-3dLMmFXsHnnLCgyC5VHWi17ISwZs023THZiOBfJWCoAQUW_ This hopefully will give me an upgrade then rule out if my soldering is the problem. If it still does not work then plan B I will buy another trigger unit just in case it is worn out and causing all these problems. https://www.jollysoftair.com/en/control-units/10729-gg-etu-trigger-switch-for-v2-gearbox-gg-sw2.html Hopefully this will sort it out. Please let me know you opinion. Thanks

@Colin Allen Hello, When I plug the battery in and pull the trigger several times it will now only cycle on some trigger pulls. For example 1 out of 30 pulls. Thanks

Hello @Pseudotectonici completely removed the fuse. And joined the empty space with another wire and soldered both ends to the original circuit. When I pull the trigger several times now out of 30 pulls it will cycle showing that electricity is getting to the rifle. I think it's possibly the switch but I am going to take it appart and see. Thanks

@Rogerborg @EDcase Hello, I have been speaking to a friend who does some work on air soft guns and he says that it could be a worn out trigger switch which would make sense as I have been using it once a week for 6 months. Could this be a cause of the symptoms? Thanks

@Rogerborg @EDcase I have resoldered the wires and they are very neat and I have removed the fuse. I have enough space now to fit the battery. One problem. My trigger response seems to have slowed down on semi. What could be causing this??? Thanks

Thank you everyone I will do the test that @EDcasesuggested and if it dosent heat up we are good to go but if it does I will start a new.

@Rogerborg @EDcase Thank you for the help I really appreciate it. Regarding re doing it I'm not sure I can as there is very little wire left with out rewiring the whole thing. Regarding the solder I've already done. What do you think will happen if I continue to use it with my botched job? Thanks

Hello, Today I soldered for the 3rd time in my life. I soldered wires together which are connecting the tamiya connector to the gun. (rear wired ARP 9) I stripped the end of the wires and intertwined them till they held well on their own. I then melted the solder onto the soldering rod and smeared blobs of solder to the wires to secure them together. It looks pretty bad but holds. I then wrapped them in electrical tape. I was unaware that the actual way to solder is to heat the wire and then apply the solder direct onto the wire. The gun shoots fine and all its normal actions are working. Will the incorrect soldering method which I have used damage the gun in the long run? I use 11.1 lipos with my ARP 9. Thanks

hello, Great ive removed the fuse and everything fits fine. thanks

Hello, My bad I thought they were the same thing haha. If I do remove the fuse what effect will that have on my gun? Thanks @Colin Allen
