Does it bind if the motor is screwed in? sounded like there was no resistance when the motor turned.

Binds either way - I was adjusting motor height because it slipped a little during play and it was sounding a little screechy - went too far in so backed up a bunch and boom - sudden lockup into screaming. Changing the height now doesn't do anything - it just screams. Broken spur gear? I took the motor out of the grip and it seems to be working fine and I don't see any damage to the pinion or shaft or anything

I am testing for some now but I really recommend going for bushings if your having shimming issues

Thing is - I have no room for shims with the standard CYMA bushings at the min and putting the old bearings in from my CYMA platinum that neg built for me means I can add shims and it's a lot quieter - but they don't quite fit the holes and pop in and out a bunch and it's making me nervous that they might give up the ghost, hence me looking for new ones. Might consider the XT bushings now that you're mentioning them though..

Some bushings / bearings sometimes require a little bit of retaining compound or glue to hold them in place.  With bearings if you try to force fit them you can damage their structure quite easily.

Hi @pyromancer6
Sorry, I used to live on these forums, but now I'm not playing (due to knee issues) and I've been busy with work, I'm rarely here.
Your video - I don't get it - it looks/sounds great to me... is that the 'before'?

If it's beeping and won't fire again, then the Falcon has fallen to earth    I can't remember the beep pattern of mine, but it matched what was in the manual as an 'error' indicator.

Tricky to source a new one, DE themselves weren't interested in helping, which was very disappointing, hence my delight at finding someone selling a couple here.   And buying a whole donor gun.
 

Good luck!

 

Nah, it's the after - it's firing bursts on semi and on auto it lets off like 4-7 rounds and does a double beep which is a 'module error' according to DE - the only mention online I could find was your old thread which is why I shot a message 😅, appreciate the info!

Halfords for the motor connectors. Come with heat shrink. 👍

Having two things disconnect within the day of having the CYMA mosfet just means I got unlucky and got a lemon as I haven't had such murder with anything else I've used 😅, and it's just female spade connector's I'm looking for right @Shamal?

Yep the female side 👍

Now you get to take it all apart again 🙂

Quick change spring as standard on these little DEs, fortunately! Turns out I accidently threw in a massive spring instead of the one that orginally came out of it - it's still a little spicy but with the hop set it settles right down. Compression parts are awesome - gonna order another set for a friend's CYMA CAR-15 I've suddenly got the confidence to ''fix'' or fuck around with inside lol (do need a new cyma mosfet board though, trigger is knackered)

thanks, yeah the compression set is great at bringing aeg's back to life.  Springs are a little more tricky to get right for sure.

 

 

First time cracking a gearbox open, by the way 😅

 

Not too sure what's up with it, but it's not looking too good. When a battery's plugged in it's still completely unresponsive, not even a sensor check (the motor's also in), only thing that would point to according to jefftron's manual is that the fuse is gone, but from the looks of it...

 

 

...Fuse looks alright to me. Has the leviathan pulled a leviathan and died of death?

Would be probably be worth it trying another fuse. Also might be worth investigating the connection to the battery.  

Planning on doing a order of a few bits for delving inside one of the pews because a jam's knackered the airseal stuff inside so I'll let you know - heart of gold you've got by the way haha, appreciate it

Just recieved my order today, probably should've clarified it was about this post rather than putting a random message about a stanley knife haha, appreciate it bud 😅

AHH ok lol.  I get lots of orders from guys on the forum but they use their real names so never really know who anyone is.  Internet animosity just as it should be 😄

Honestly, even though it was doing looney tunes outlines around people it was a blast honestly, we've only just had work done on our CQB part of our site recently and they're getting a bunch of cheap springer shotguns in to do shotgun/pistol only games in there so I thought I'd give it a go early, apart from the stock trying it's hardest to leak (long flathead 'm4 buffer tube screwdriver mate' to the rescue) things went perfectly fine, which was a suprise

I'd love to do one up eventually though, get the longer barrels, the high output valves, the posh modify gas tanks, shim the hop so it can hop 0.28s etc but seeing as HPA's disallowed at our site there's no point really going crazy with it because the gas shotties are just limited without an air line meaning it just works 40% of the time rather than 100% lol

Good to hear! I probably should give mine a second chance then. As ,much as I love the idea of making it work, it just doesn't seem to be able to apply any appreciable hop to even .2s, and the spread is wild. I've cleaned the barrels and fixed hops gently with alcohol soaked patches in case they were covered in grease/oil, but no difference....

 

Yes, mine was wildly leaking from new - I had to remove the buffer tube (mine has the M4 type stock), then re-lube the o rings and re-tighten. I'm not shy about taking things apart (albeit the M14 was admittedly a stretch), but I'm told that shotguns are a bit of a nightmare to strip down!

Yeah, the M870s are pretty notorious for being swiss watches with a thousand hair thick springs that love just pinging across the room never to be seen again - I got PTSD from the last time I took mine apart because my cylinder was a little loose and I just couldn't get the thing back together for the longest time and ended up getting a mate to pop it back together because I was losing my head after it just wouldn't play nice lmao

At least with the GEs you always have the option of just buying another one if you royally cock it up, and even then you're still under the price of a new TM one lol

Just finished teching these 3, 2 titans and an aster

Lovely stuff, where'd you source the RK-3 for the SLR-RW in the middle? After one myself but can't seem to find a single one in stock anywhere.

Also need to get around to getting mine done with an Aster, the fire selector's doing AK fire selector things and can't reliably shoot semi anymore which is a big dealbreaker with there being so much semi-auto at our site lol

Got the rk-3 from Sixmm, postage can take a while but had no problems with them. I only use semi so I set the selector setting to safe/semi/semi 🤣

I think Ali just does this every time (or at least the couple of times I've used them), they deliberately massively over-estimate shipping duration to cover their butts.

I've personally never had an issue with the battleaxe G36 mid caps. They fit & feed flawlessly in my JG, Specna and Cyma. They're a little bit of a pain with the S&T in terms of locking in as easily but do still lock in. The other bonus is they're dirt cheap!

I can always take mine off and measure it if someone can do a 3d print or something. Not ideal but Aug bits are few and far between!

@Egon_247with dimensions I could design and print a replacement.

Samoon will sell you one for the GHK AUG, which will probably be compatible.

*marui man enters the chat*

Welcome to airsoft when every gun breaks on you sooner or later. 🤣

I HPA'd a brand new plat sr-25 if you want any of the aeg parts for free
