It's right there - under the paint: It's an Arcturus Centaur AT-CT01 https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/arcturus-centaur-at-ct01-rifle

Well, that was a helluva first post on a very dead thread.

I have two of the older 50watt versions of those (rebranded as Core RC) for my charging setup. They work fine. The balance logic is old on mine, making charging longer, but I doubt that will be the case with the newer e680. Don't forget that IDST make excellent chargers too. The Q6 Nano (assuming you have a DC power source) can be had for £25 - 200W, 1-6S LiPos, colour LCD screen. I'm thinking of upgrading my setup to the IDST K1 which is another dual-channel charger option. I normally suggest the SkyRC S65 based on the fact they are simple to use, relatively cheap and they better than the usual (overpriced) rebranded Nuprol crap that gets peddled by Airsoft Vendors.

Ex two-tone with a gopping attempt at a 'battle-worn' paintjob, with hop up issues, being sold by a guy with a track record of stitching his buyers up with his shit gunsmithing skillz, knack for bodgery and misleading adverts. What could possibly go wrong?

I had the same thought. A piston change on an ICS gun can be done in under 10 minutes for £7-8 quid. Perhaps a bit more if you buy an upgrade ICS POM unit. There's more going on there i think.

That's the problem. A sizeable proportion of B6s on the market are lesser quality clones and are not made by SkyRC. I would recommend a SkyRC S65 as a simple, reasonably priced AC smart charger. It'll do far more than what most Airsofters actually need.

Fixed that for you.

https://events.groundzeroairsoft.com/ Stumbled across this yesterday on GZ's website. GZ are doing a Milsim Weekend event next month. Whilst I'm not a huge fan of the site, I am kinda interested in attending this one.

GZ is my local site. I live 20mins away from it. In the 16-odd years I've been playing, not once did I think the NAF would be a good idea from a gameplay perspective. I mean, the place sucks with 200-300 players on site during a 'normal' skirmish day with bottleneck tracks, shit terrain and millions of rhododendron bushes, so the thought of it being scaled-up by an order of magnitude (with commensurate price increase) definitely does not appeal. BUT...... GZ are trying something new with a two day Milsim-ish (battlesim??) event in May - Operation Green Sceptre That seems to be a much more compelling event in my mind - the site itself would probably work quite well in the ammo-limited, Milsim scenario-driven context. Less likely to see the gameplay completely stopped by a kiddie with a drum mag hidden under a bush at the top of a track seemly invulnerable to BB hits.

So basically a Wanker-gun then? 😜

Yep, I had one shit itself with an SHS hi-torque. Kept shutting down in semi auto with an error light blinking. Pile’o’shite that thing, like the rest of the Orion Gearbox. I see Cores are coming with X-ASRs now. I would avoid those.

Be nice. New member and all that. 😜 Here are some reasonably priced rail sections in stock: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gbase-keymod-9-slot-rail-section-for-urx-40-dark-earth

Either way, it looks like a decent enough GB for upgrades though. Not heard any major issues with the CORE series, I would have one over an Edge any day.

No, they don't from what I've seen. Different OEMs. Black shell, looks a lot like an E&C.

The only thing I would change from the outset would be the stock motor, swapping it for an SHS/Rocket Hi-torque. I would leave everything else as-is, and give the barrel a good clean. And fucking around with springs without a chrono is a really bad idea.

I'm not sure about that - the form-factor of Airsoft LiPos is different to most RC stuff - especially Buffer tube LiPos - their shape is generally different to anything I would stick in an RC Plane or Car, so for them to be rejects means that there is another use for them somewhere in the RC world, which I've not seen in my experience. I would not be surprised if they are simply produced on a line with lower quality/purity materials and QC measures though - most airsofters would never know what Internal resistance is when it comes to batteries, let alone try and measure it. Think my chargers have an IR function - Next time I charge my Airsoft LiPos, I'll have a look.

You shouldn't keep a LiPo fully charged for more than a few days if you want to avoid puffing and capacity degradation in the longer term. (Source: My experience - last I checked, I own around 70 LiPo packs, 1S to 4S, for various forms of RC and Airsoft shenanigans). I only fully charge my packs the day (or even the morning) before I need them. As soon as I get them home, I storage charge them.

Perhaps a simple line 'Buyer covers PayPal fees' in the listing could avoid any issues like this in future? I think the OP was out of order leaving negative feedback on a transaction that didn't happen - that's a really dick move.

Apart from posting this in the Help and Advice section, I think £275 is more than a tad optimistic for a bottom-end Nuprol:

Welcome to the forums. Nuprol do not make anything themselves, just throw their stickers on and add £15-20 for the privilege - that particular charger looks like it comes from the SkyRC stable and is the same as the Overlander VSR Charger. I don't know how good the Nuprol Manual is, but the Overlander version here might have some more info for you. I would suggest watching this to give you the background of LiPos, their use and charging. Ignore the fact it's for RC, airsoft LiPos work exactly the same: This covers the very basics of charging with an Overlander VSR:

I heard that in Germany adding things such as torches makes it a Firearm and is then subject to licensing laws. I also thought that full auto is permitted at something like sub-0.5j as they are classed as toys (no F Stamp) - which is pretty useless for skirmishing.
