So after my last post I got a wide rage of reply’s in how to install a mosfet and the reason they are so important.
ive now got all the connectors I need for a mosfet but I’m still wonder what mosfet to get.
I want a decent mosfet which will last, I don’t parically want it to directly affect the ROS of the gun per-say. (Not looking for one of the £100 plus programmable mosfet, just something affordable and reliable).
Thanks for the advice, I was personally looking at some Gate mosfets. Also you mentioned about the soldering, the main reason I want one is because I’m running lipos in the TM AUG hc, do I just want to prolong the life of my gun basically.

If all you want is a protection fet then just get a basic one. I think I mentioned the AK2m4 one before and the Xcoretech xet304u. Both are as near as damn it identical.
You will have to do some soldering with both of those.
The jefftron you can get away with connectors but then you run the risk of those burning up or disconnecting.
If you are worried about doing it yourself send it out. It's about 30 minutes of work on the AUG. Since the gearbox doesn't need touching. It's more about the cable management and getting the fet to fit in the small space available that causes problems. A gun tech should be able to work it out very quickly even if they have never done an aug before.
If you need a picture of where to put the fet for the cable management I can take a picture of the inside of one of my augs, but they shouldn't need it. Once that gearbox divide plate is off it's pretty obvious where to put it.

If I could fit a mosfet into my stock and it was able able to connect and function correctly then I would mind that, since it would make it easier to replace or remove given that I put connects on all wires.
Also wondering what mosfet Iceni would recommend from AK2m4 since they have a couple, and if the Xcoretech xet304u is better quality than AK2m4 mosfets or is it just a different brand? They both function the same way and contain almost identical components soooooo......
It's a common design. So multiple companies have variants of the same thing.
The AK2M4 one is one factories version, The Xcoretech is another. In function there as close to identical as you will see. Perhaps some variance on components, but otherwise it's designed for the same job.
Once installed you are only going to remove it if the gun breaks, or you need to replace the mosfet. I've never had a basic one fail on me. Expensive ones fail, Cheap ones just keep plodding on. At £7.50 for the AK2M4 one it's not even worth the headache in over-thinking it And if it does break you already have the wires setup to just solder in another. I'm pretty sure @Sitting Duck thinks like this as well.
Learning to solder - even is it's really bad will save you money in airsoft. If you want help learning then we can help. It's cheap to learn as well. A bit of wire, some heatshrink, a soldering iron and solder isn't going to break the bank. If it costs you £30 to setup and learn,it's a £30 investment to every gun you will own.
Brands in airsoft are a little bit ambiguous. There is an awful lot of re-branding, and because it's china controlled there is an awful lot of the same product been sold under 10 names, 2 as budget parts 6 as oem replacements and 2 as some super unobtanium CNC variant at 20x the price. All the same part, It's why we all love AK2M4, Rocket Airsoft is a non-brand, It's the same factory as SHS a well respected brand, but without the mark up and the hype. ASG for instance don't actually make anything, They have a huge catalogue of airsoft product, and it's all re-brands.
The truth is you look at the product, not the marketing that goes with it.
Ok, so generally as long as I've wired connects into the circuit the gun should be future proof anyways. last question, if I where to order from AK2M4 should I order anything else, like any additional parts which may be useful in the future. And should I go with the ACETECH ACEMOS or the ACETECH ACEMOS PLUS. I know they use different chips and was wondering if the ACETECH ACEMOS was the specific chip which I have to use for my intended application.
Just the acetech ascemos, The other one is bigger and you don't need the bulk.
You don't need any wire to the motor or battery from the mosfet. You can cut the tails long enough.
You will need some signal wire for the trigger. It doesn't need to be thick. 22awg silicone wire is more than enough (it's overkill actually). You can grab a few meters for £1-2 on ebay. (1m £1.25)
And to make the soldering easier get some eutectic solder. It'll make your soldering 100% easier.
63/37 mix has a very low melt point, and is very easy to work with... Just don't eat it as it's lead based. (£3.30)
That should do you. Provided you don't need a soldering iron as well.
If you do need a soldering Iron get a soldering station instead. The price is really low for what you get. For about £25 on ebay you can get them with a digital heat display. Set it to 195c for the 63/37 solder and that's it done.

That's great thanks, I know somebody who personally works on RC Heli/car, so I will be sourcing most of it directly from him. But I can definitely use this stuff for future reference so thanks for the information! Now it's just the case of fitting the actual mosfet into my gun.

alas no more
