millermonsterNI Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Looking to go hard wired mosfet. Is these a make I should go for? And any other tips for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 6, 2015 Supporters Share Posted October 6, 2015 depends on ya gun and the room you got to install the thing tbh basic £10-£15 3034 type fet = non braking will do most people Gate Pico's are popular but any half decent fet will do or go nutz for a fully programmable bells n whistle one with various burst modes but programming takes some getting used to at first main thing is rewiring it a bit for fet - after that if mosfet is installed externally from gearbox then you can change the mosfet to other types as n when you want (some can be fitted inside gearbox but they have to be small or the more expensive ones with trigger pcb) AirFET NB on ebay will do ya or Gate Pico V3 gearbox - fet can be wired without opening box V2 gearbox - gotta open her up I'm afraid (best anyway to do seals AoE service at same time tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Two main types of basic mosfet - active breaking and non-breaking. Non-breaking is the simplest and controls the power flow to the motor using the trigger contacts as the signal. Active breaking (AB) essentially puts the motor into reverse momentarily to slow it down quicker. This produces a more consistent firing cycle but will produce gradual degradation of the motor due to carbon build up and will heat up both the motor and fet to some degree (the kinetic energy is turned to heat when it breaks the motor). I tend to only use AB when I'm having bad overspin problems which can cause double firing on semi. If you want a basic FET then the Gate Pico SSR3 (non-AB) and Pico AAB (AB) are very small, relatively cheap and reliable. If you want to get extra functionality such as burst modes, pre-cocking, adjustable AB etc then a good option is the Jefftron programmable unit (this replaces you trigger contact mechanism - see my post about it). If you've never done any soldering or electronics or not taken a gearbox apart then I would think about buying a cheap second hand gearbox to practice with before messing with your main AEG - you are almost certainly going make a mess.

millermonsterNI Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Cheers guys for taking the time out to give me that info. will check out them brands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak2m4 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Also if you're new to soldering / mosfet fitting then worthwhile buying 2 fets just in case you fry the first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 8, 2015 Supporters Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'd recommend FireStorm fets as they are tiny and cheap http://www.firestormsystems.com/shop/electronics/mosfet-switch.html But been out of stock for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaddow Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thread Revival. Anyone know if the firestorm FET's have active breaking? I assume not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
