  1. Sorry, my mistake! I've got deans and mini-Ts mixed up! I'm on deans not mini-T.
  2. They are cheap enough. If you're ok with opening the box, take a picture of your trigger connectors.
  3. I switched to mini-T's. Apparently they're a better connector but i didn't notice any differences. Remember if you change them, connect the plug side onto your gun and the socket on the battery. You don't want to set the battery down somewhere to find it shorting out!
  4. Best way is to actually open the box. Do all the easiest stuff first if you're not comfortable opening your gear box. Make sure the battery is charged, check the wiring you can see, flip the motor as said previously. If you know how use a multimeter and have one you could check the voltage down the wiring to the motor. That way you'd Definitly know if it's the wiring or trigger and not your motor.
  5. You can tell if it's a new motor easy without taking apart the gun. Just take it out the handle and reconnect it so its out the gun and try it. You can test the torque on it by lightly pushing it into soft wood and seeing if it chews the wood up, just make sure the teeth are cleaned before sticking it back in the gun. What do you mean fried the wires? Are you using the correct size wires or did you rewire it wrong and the wires hit the moving gears? Sounds like you've already had a go which is a good start. I'd say don't give up, these things aren't rocket science. If it's just replacing old with new, have faith, you can do it! And we're here to help
  6. I use pretty much the same style of m4 made by G&G; TR15 raider. http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=5775 Although plastic, like others have said, you may be thankful after a long day. They plastic body looks the part and the plastic is so durable I'd be very suprised if you broke it. This G&G has blowback function, acts like a recoil (easy enough to disable if it's not you thing, I did).
  7. Hooked on snowboarding. Question is; can I afford 2 hobbies!?

      What's the flight prices like when taking your own gear?

      Last time I flew and took kit it was £10 or something extra for a board bag, (I had a fairly large bag so it took 2 boards, 2 sets of bindings and 2 pairs of boots) I was going for 4 months so had a cruising board and a slightly smaller park board). Mind you that was years ago. If you avoid school holidays its actually much more reasonable. My advice would be start with some of the smaller resorts, go for self catering and work on economies of scale.

      Some friends came out while I was on my season, they rented a 6 bed self catered flat in Meribel Village. On the outskirts of the much larger Meribel resorts. They got fairly cheap flights from Southampton to Grenoble which is a 4 hour drive away from the resort and hired an MPV for the week (worked out much cheaper than 6 return coach seats or a private transfer company). Plus it meant they could drive down the mountain to the super u at the bottom and stock up on beer and supplies cheaper t...

  8. Soo this happened last night; 3 of us on a defending team hiding in a dark cubby hole waiting for the attackers to pass us. We have no respawn and most of our team are dead. Another team member walks into our hiding space and decides to stab us all. Granted it was dark but FFS make sure you know who you're killing!
  9. Lonex motors are monsters. The A1+ has the same speed of the A1 but has more torque so quicker response.
  10. Welcome! Do we get discount on ESS goggles for being forum members?
  11. These boxes are pretty much common sense. Main thing to remember is if you upgrade a part for speed or FPS increase it will probably mean another part will wear down quicker. Also make sure your piston meshes with the gear correctly, I stripped mine about 10 minutes after opening it for the first time I upgraded my gr-15 (probably same internally); 13:1 SHS gears SHS piston Vented cylinder SHS delay chip SHS shims SHS 8mm bearings 70D sorbo pad Hamsterfet Lonex A1+ If you need help with anything send me pm.
  12. Quick update; mags shooting excellent in my upgraded g&g. They slide in and out of the mag well smoothy and when in the gun hardly any wobble. So far so good.
  13. Thanks! When I installed my mosfet I had to resolder the old wiring ends, I'll keep hold of these incase the break
  14. I had my TM glock 17 seals go on me whilst shooting during a skirmish, it was less than a year old. I took the valves apart and stuck some lubricant on orings and it's been fine for the last few games.
  15. Ohshi's grenade holders are terrible. My ohshi grenade fell out about 20 times in one evening. I stick to 40mm grenade pouches now.
  16. It's been a few hours now and it's definitely worked. Mine's a triple pouch, the middle pouch is still a bit tight. I mighty try using a hair drier later and see if that works too.
  17. Took the plung (literally!), just soaked them in hot water for a few mins and moved the mags around. It seems looser already, let's see how it dries out.
  18. If you do it let me know how it works out. I'm going away this weekend so I'll try leave my full and see how it is on sunday day night.
  19. This is what I was thinking but was wondering if the cordura would stretch with it.
  20. Recently bought a new double stack ammo pouch. The pouch fits one mag perfectly in either the front or back slot. When I try to fit the second mag in I have to really fight to get it in. Has anyone stretched a pouch before? I read online that some people put the pouch in warm water and leave a mag in it whilst it dries, has anyone tried this? I've left a couple mags in it at the moment hoping it'll give over time but I'll be using it next week and at the moment i won't be able to without wrestling for a mag.
  21. The mall vs the sandpit. Which is better?

      I have yet to go to the area of the sandpit with the FOB which is the well vegetated area. I would not class it as a woodland site at all. There is certainly areas that have vegetation but not much. It is a quarry though so you get some very interesting terrain to play with. Working together as groups using manoeuvring and firing tactics is way more important then being a sneaky bastard.

      The Mall is a blast - on the right day. Like every site it has its issues but the Mall suffers from the uniqueness of the site in as much as there are a lot of corridors and natural choke points. There has been a lot of work done recently with barricades to alleviate this and a lot of it seems to have worked. If there's a lot of n00bs or just people that don't want to lead the charge then yes, it can stagnate but there is ALWAYS someone who knows tow other routes around a problem that...

      ...is always will to acts as a guide (myself included). As long as you bear in mind that it's a frantic rush of a site and just get stuck in then you'll be fine. If you're going to get frustrated and precious about others not getting stuck in then maybe you need to stay away. My own personal pet hate is the guys that turn up and just shout "GO! GO! GO!" at people then complain when it's not backed up. Not everyone is as gung-ho so just deal with it.
