Why do techs not like gate titans

 I don't know will check tonigh but my point is, is this something we should be worrying about when it comes to toys we sling around muddy fields? Do I get far better results from the Titan than the Warfet...nope.

Think it was just a status update but yeah hadn't read that when I jumped on my laptop to adjust the amount of active brake.


ahh yes the wonderful world of tweaking things.

it's like the year or so i spent trying to figure out how to get the polarstar jack to shoot in a straight line before giving up and replacing it with a fusion.

still at least that gave me something to drop in the '42.

Yeah it was a status update. Thing is the software I believe asks you to update as soon as you start it so one naturally does it I guess.

Haha, yeah silly me for thinking an update would improve things. Rarely the case (at least initially).

 
I've had titans in 2 of my rifles, m4 krytac and mp5 for 18 months without any issues so far.

Installation was straight forward, hacking away at the krytac gearbox was a bit time consuming but there are plenty of guides on how to do it.

Until recently I hadn't seen anything negative about them.  

I have a v3 titan still in it's box that I bought for a new LCT ak. Having seen so many negative comments about titans lately I'm unsure if I should install it.

 
Sometimes things don't go according to plan
As in the wise Murphy's Law which states many things

Some of which can be applied to this thread:

It is nigh on impossible to make anything foolproof,
because fools are so ingenious.

Ergo nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently capable fool.

But if they ever do make something completely foolproof,
life will simply create a better/bigger fool

 
I’m a technical person and I do work in friends airsoft stuff and my local site.  I installed a gate Titan into my TM scar and have worked on all sorts over the years.

i like them, so not all techs do not like them (they just might not be able enough to get there heads around it?)

 
I'm a bit late to this conversation, if you don't like soldering but don't have room for connectors you can try solder heat shrink

Resurrecting a slightly older thread but this soldering all-in-one gizmo thing is pretty impressive... although I've learned to solder now lol..

Back to the mosfet discussion, looks likes Warfets are popping back now so I guess the supply chain is beginning to move again which is great news... 

 
Some interesting reasons!

I would add that with the cost of the part and the work required to install (I've only looked at the ICS instructions, but i'm assuming most GB's need some fettling work to fit), would make the total cost (parts, + labour) a little on the pricey side or just unprofitable.

Personally I love mine,  only use a few of the features AB, pre-cocking/cycle detection (for snappy trigger) and rate of fire adjustment (saves on ammo dropping the RoF down a bit), but well worth it imo.

However I will say there support is rubbish. I had a simple problem recently with mine.  Has been working fine for years, but I missed the step in the instruction to remove part of the ICS gearbox latch, finally that bit me = dead plastic pea shooter, quick look and I've knocked a component off one of the boards.  Dropped them an email for help, reply I got was 'that's not covered by warranty', email parts address (no $h!t I'd said I was after help to identify the part or was replacement of just the affected board available).  Must be a fairly common failure and something they could have very simply advised to fix, given me a price for a replacement board or just told me what the part was.....   Thankfully easy enough to identify the capacitor via pictures on the 'net and a 2p part from CPC, dab of solder and back up and running.  No thanks to there support though... not what you expect from a product priced like that though!.
