kejot Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 why did it need adjusting?? did you remove motor? did you refit spacer afterwards?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted March 10, 2014 Supporters Share Posted March 10, 2014 have you replaced the motor? If so, check that the pinion gear meshes correctly with the bevel gear in your gearbox, if not it'll never adjust properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTTz n00b Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Ordering a space this weekend as it is most likley the problem, if that is not it I will most likeley just sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTTz n00b Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 @kejot I had to change pistol grip as the base plate was of such poor quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatch Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Check that the motor moves freely in the new pistol grip, have you run the wires correctly so they are not causing interference with the motors body Was there a spacer in there originally and what grip have you bought bud? Rule of thumb for starters is wind the adjuster all the way in without making it silly right then back it off about 1 1/2 turns as a good starting point for height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTTz n00b Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 All the wires are fine, and the motor moves freely, I am ordering a motor spacer if I have time this weekend and the new pistol grip is a g&g standard m4/m16 pistol grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted March 15, 2014 Supporters Share Posted March 15, 2014 what grip have you replaced it with? The Magpul ones are notoriously bad for allowing/creating banshee type screeching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 This could also be a shimming in the gearbox,the bevel to pinion shimming may be poor and causing a fair amount of screech. Some grips,like dave said could also be poorly designed and cause very poor motor alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted March 15, 2014 Supporters Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'd read it as him not having opened the 'box. If that's the case and the only thing he has changed is the grip, I'd be tempted to say it is the grip at fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTTz n00b Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 When it was given to me it had a terrible magpul clone grip, the base plate was made out of a really cheap plastic that the motor pushed it out of shape, a friend gave me a g&g pistol grip, can't seem to find the motor spacer so ordering one from eagle 6, if its not the spacer, would anyone be able to solve this for me, If I pay them?

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted March 15, 2014 Supporters Share Posted March 15, 2014 try another motor in it. I've had it before where some were loud as anything and a new motor/different motor was relatively quiet. Did it screech in the old grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTTz n00b Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 in the old grip it did not even engage in the gearbox, the motor plate was so cheap it was being pushed out of the pistol grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
