    Q Thats fine, definitely change the battery connectors! If you wanted to check the motor you could just connect the motor straight to the battery. Would be easier with two people as the motor spins pretty fast. To check the trigger, set up like the picture but split the gearbox. Use another wire and connect it to the two wires on the trigger. If the motor spins (maybe do it test after the motor test) it means the trigger needs replacing.

    People always think they're kit is worth what they paid for it. I see it like buying a used car; there's always a Risk you'll drive a couple miles down the road and it breaks down. There's no guarantee he put the thing back together right when he tuned so no one can really say What it's worth. All my guns are used and ive gotten by fairly lucky so far, but there are horror stories out there. It's only worth what someone's willing to pay.

    By-passed the trigger yet?

    Nothing to do with the electrical side, but is that metal shavings under your bevel gear in the first picture?

    I dont think it matters what way itt's wired up, it's just a switch. While the box is open you can run a test to see if it's the trigger. Connect the battery and motor and use a separate wire and link the two wires going into the trigger. If you're quick and hold the wire tight you shouldn't really get an arc. If your motor spins that means something is wrong with the trigger.

    Sorry, my mistake! I've got deans and mini-Ts mixed up! I'm on deans not mini-T.
  7. Cheeky vimto
    They are cheap enough. If you're ok with opening the box, take a picture of your trigger connectors.
  8. Cheeky vimto
    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!

    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.

    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

    Both!

    What's wrong with it?

    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).

      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...

    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!

    Lonex motors are monsters. The A1+ has the same speed of the A1 but has more torque so quicker response.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks! When I installed my mosfet I had to resolder the old wiring ends, I'll keep hold of these incase the break

    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.

    Ohshi's grenade holders are terrible. My ohshi grenade fell out about 20 times in one evening. I stick to 40mm grenade pouches now.
  24. Cheeky vimto
    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.
