    7.4V vs 11.1V Lipo?

    Thanks. Its an ARES AM-013, so comes with electronic trigger. No worry on burning out contacts. As for capacity, guess its still best to have higher capacity. My play style is more single or 3 short burst, very rarely play at full auto, so if my logic is correct, I would benefit more from a...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Classic Army M14 Unfortunately it comes without a mag, and little did I know the CA mags are quite difficult to find! Now just waiting for Mr Post Man to deliver tomorrow!

    7.4V vs 11.1V Lipo?

    I have had confirmation form ARES that the AM-013 can handle 11.1V lipo safely. I plan to get an 11.1V lipo to use with the rifle now that I also have the batter pack extension that clips onto the back allowing for longer batteries to be used. My question is now, what is better, a higher...

    Upgrading VSR G-Spec

    Morning All, I know the below has been discussed in depth in many places, but hope for some first hand feedback on the below: Looking to upgrade my TM VSR G-Spec from stock to something I can use in skirmishes. Originally I was going to do a complete Laylax build with Action Army hop unit...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    Sorry, had a bit of a mind laps. Guess on the Amoeba it wont make a difference as the inner barrel goes straight thought the suppressor. Suppressors that fit onto the end of the barrels with foam inserts do supress the noise as the BB leaves the inner barrel, the foam absorbs some of the noise...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    Had some time over the weekend to strip the gun back down to replace the front hand guard with one of the Amoeba key mod hand guards. Unfortunately they do not fit over the mock suppressor, so anyone wanting to do the upgrade will need a longer outer barrel and a new tip as the suppressor would...

    Outer Barrel - ARES??

    Looking for some advice regarding outer barrels. I am modifying my Honey Badger with a ARES Octarms Keymod hand guard. My existing guard falls between the 10" and 12" options I can buy. This will mean either a lot more of my "Silencer" will show or it will be inside the hand guard (not good)...

    Ares Amoeba AM-008

    Sorry for the slight thread jacking. Still on topic with ARES and mags. Im in a similar position and looking for metal mid caps for my Ares Amoeba 013. Any recommendations?

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    Thanks for the offer. Ive not had much free time, but will trip the gun back down and re-assemble to see if I get it working properly. If I still get issues, I might take you up on the offer of a standard nub.

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    OK, So I ordered a small nub to use. Shaped like a tiny dumb bell (H) and fitted. Now the gun seems to jam quite often and only fires with the hop turned almost all the way down. Probably any more than 10% causes BB's to jam inside the hop. Also, the mag is now a lot tighter to put in and when...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    So, I received my prowin hop unit and installed it over the weekend. One issue though. As the original hop unit uses a solid arm to push into the bucking, there was no small rubber nub to fit under the new arm to push into the bucking on the prowin unit. Ive currently installed it with the...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    So my upgrading of my AM-013 has started. Fitted a Guarder SP100 spring which took my FPS up to 320. Also fitted the uprated bearing spring guide from ARES. (Don't think any others will fit due to the screw in mechanism) I have ordered a prowin hop unit and a Maple leaf Monster Hop rubber...

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    I would say at the moment, I am looking for consistency and possibly a bit more range if it can be found from the hop. It also seem very sensitive to adjustment. Adjusting my hop marginally (around 1mm of travel on the adjustment wheel) will take the BB from going fairly straight to a very...

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Any opinions on the madbull ultimate Hop? Know it was mentioned in another post regarding dropping bb's when changing mags. Not overly fussed at the loss of 3bb's every time, just thought its an additional win if the madbull is on par with prowin.

    TM VSR-10 G-Spec

    Agree with Proffrink. I did not include the other brands on my list as through my research, there seems to be the most information on PDI and Laylax with them also being the highest recommended. I cant personally comment on any brands as my VSR is still completely Stock. The only way to decide...

    TM VSR-10 G-Spec

    I recently procured a VSR G-Spec and looking to upgrade as well. As everyone has said above, there is plenty of information on upgrading the VSR. From various forums and threads, best upgrades seem to be either PDI or Laylax. In reality, they are probably much the same, just a case of "I have...

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Recommended brand for .30's ? Ill have a look at prowin for a hop unit and a uprated bucking. Chrono'd on Sunday at 320fps on 0.2's using a guarder SP100 spring. Just waiting for an uprated spring guide to turn up from other side of the world. Damn Ares spring guides aren't standard.

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Thanks. Will look at getting heavier bb's, but 0.25 are ideal as they are the heaviest my local site sells. Otherwise I get raped with high postage costs when ordering a few Kg of plastic balls! Any recommendation for bucking rating? 60°? 80°?
