Where to get a gun fixed

Just put deans connectors on your batteries its an easy soldering job just make sure you cut one wire at a time and dont let the bare wires touch.

 
Ok, here the area I think y'all asked to see. If it's not, I'll go take more pics.

That looks like a micro switch trigger to me so that could be a possible problem that maybe its burnt out or wires could be wrong way round

 
Wires are correct; this worked once upon a time, and I haven moved those wires

 
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.

 
soz pic 3 showed what I couldn't see

should just work me thinks or switch burnt out or broke

deffo test switch - it should just make prefect circuit

unfortunatly, no. also, until I get new connectors for my battery, I cant. shouldnt be too long

 
Aright, I am now in a position to test the motors; and about to get a bill for my jump into electrical (airsoft) engineering. Got a soldering kit already (done quite a bit of that already), as well as solder, a few meters of wires, wire cutters, wire strippers, and more. About to buy a bunch or deans and mini-t connectors, shrink wrap, and more... Anyway, is this an ok (and safe (ish)) setup to bypass the trigger and attempt to activate the motor? I've got my pilot flame-proof gloves at the ready just in case I set my bed sheets on fire...

Also, you can see the battery I melted the mini-t connectors on...

 
Do not solder on your bed its not the best idea. Im starting to think you should just take it to a shop or at least keep a fire extinguisher under your pillow.

 
Haha, I don't actually do that on my bed. I got a table downstairs I've set up as my shop; to the dismay of my mother. I got away with it when I was doing school engineering projects, but until I get a better option, the unused room will be my workplace.

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.

yea, got a bunch of deans and mini-t male and female ends on the way. ill test the motor when I get home.

 
yep; the ts are just so i have some extras on hand. Ill probably leave my p90 and mp40 on mini-t, if they ever need work like my M4 does, then ill switch them over in the process. But if it aint broken, dont fix it.

 
Update;

A bunch of wires, some DIY, a few sparks, and one heart attack later, I can confirm the motor works. So I guess it's the trigger connector. So... Now the question is where can I get a new one? And TriggerHappy thinks I should add a fuse in there as well. Opinions on this and where to get one as well as the trigger connections?
