Not sure at what point the spring guide was an issue, just make sure you get the Steel Spring Guide. What’s the alternative? Plastic? also just made my purchase, can’t wait for it to arrive! ive gone with a 9.9 liFe battery as recommended on this topic, for the standard size 3a1 model. I’m guessing this is correct or is 11.1 still recommended for that shape evo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Well I'll add a little tale of woe in here. I'm a new Evo owner - as of 25th April 18 it arrived from Fire Support. Good price, good service no issue there. Test fired it with a 7.4v as I didn't have anything else. Cool worked ok, fired well, I was happy. Thanks to this forum I took delivery of a nice freebie lefty fire selector replacement as indicator only. Test fired a few rounds. Nice. Right up until the point - Crunch, beep, beep. Disconnect the battery, reconnect. Beep. Fire... Crunch, beep beep So I could go the warranty route... but instead went to JD Airsoft for the Expert package upgrade. Which pretty much replaces the internals anyhow. Not cheap! But why not? Picked it up today and have to say holy, moley! That trigger response! So yes I'm very happy. But also annoyed at how an expensive RIF died even before it's gotten onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them have Evo's - probably because of the discount on in house tech. They even said sometimes shit happens, but that's what warranties are for. Just spoils your day a bit though.

If you really want to upgrade down the line give me a shout and will build a better one for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went with the whole warranty thing to keep it ASG approved as it was so box fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A £250 upgrade package from the manufacturer is a bloody cheek though. They could probably sell an off the shelf version like it for a small price increase but instead it is a optional upgrade that costs almost as much as the gun.

They should ship it as an Evo Proline or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Qlimax Posted May 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted May 17, 2018 I’d like to upgrade mine or at least get a speed trigger installed. I’d usually do it myself without an issue but don’t fancy it with my Evo not familiar with the internals of this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaners inc Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Does everyone change these to deans or does that void warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I plan to, but bought mine used. Best check with the retailer/ASG, as it will be down to them how they interpret the sale of goods act / warranty. I would expect a good retailer would not quibble, but I've found others can make you fight hard for your rights. If the retailer does it for you, then probably no issue at all.

Im going to look like a right mong installing the battery at the next game in the safe zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaners inc Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Ah that’s good then, will change it to deans soon as it arrives If I purchase upgraded spring guide and the m95 spring that’s meant to take gun to 340fps, should I still use the 9.9 life or should I use a 11.1 lipo? normal evo 3a1, not the carbine version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
