Supporters Qlimax Posted February 6, 2017 Supporters Share Posted February 6, 2017 Not keen on the new carbine version. The real steel is small so why make a carbine version plus I prefer it now. HPA wise never again, had my fill and not something I'd go back to. Only good thing they've installed the engine but doesn't mean it won't have alignment issues.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 6, 2017 Supporters Share Posted February 6, 2017 There isn't only 1 version of the real firearm, there's a 16" barrel carbine and a shorter barreled version with a fake integral suppressor (overall barrel length 16"), both have been available in the states for some time now.

Dechande Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saw this today, thought it might be of interest to some of you evo owners. I've noticed a lot of questions regarding mag pouches, Esstac have just released pouches specifically for the CZ Scorpion in most colours you could ever want, Link Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted May 19, 2017 Supporters Share Posted May 19, 2017 Has anyone else heard about ASG are no longer recommending an 11.1v lips unless you're running an M110 upwards ? Apparently it has to be a 9.9v LiFe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted May 21, 2017 Supporters Share Posted May 21, 2017 That IS correct on new the new ones. Check the EVO owners club on FB and Lasse (the chap who makes them?) and Paul (UK ASG Rep) have confirmed it. Something to do with barrel length/BBs/return cycles of pistons not being quick enough. If you wanted to run 11.1 in a longer Evo, you'd need to short stroke and use a larger spring, but obviously that would invalidate warranty anyway too.

I'm on the owners group but there's some posts going up from other people asking the same question regarding the original Scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted May 22, 2017 Supporters Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ok I’ve spoken with Team ASG this morning and it’s been confirmed. They no longer recommend an 11.1v Lipo with Evo’s running an M100 or less, they now recommend using the 9.9v LIFE battery which is going to be a pain since the ASG 9.9v LIFE battery is sold out everywhere in the UK and any other LIFE battery I can find I don’t think will fit.

Let's launch the carbine version and along with decide that 11.1v Lipos aren't recommended anymore and don't push out enough of their own brand LiFe batteries to cover new demand.

Still, just goes to show this is why they put real guns through 50,000 rounds in testing. I expect wherever the scorp was designed theres a test station with a hi-cap which is loaded by the bucketful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted May 24, 2017 Supporters Share Posted May 24, 2017 I may have found a LiFE battery which will fit at a decent price as well. Having searched endlessly there's Nuprol battery but expensive £22,95 and then there's ASG's own battery again on the higher side of cost £21 i think they were. I've found a battery on Vapex website for £13.95 which should fit. I should receive them tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to modify the dust cover inside, when you take the handguard off and look down where the cover sit inside of the top receiver its curved on each top corner which doesn't help with battery fitment. I've tempted to flatten one side out to allow that extra few mm of space for a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great little weapon, just flawed on the battery compartment part. It's the dust cover which makes it awkward have a look next time you take your handguard off it's only a few MM but that makes all the difference with such a tiny space anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwr3850 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hey guys, I’ve read through this thread and just couple questions as looking to buy non carbine sized Scorp this year. Is it definitely confirmed that 11.1v LiPo is no good anymore, or is that just for the carbine variant? Apart from the uprated spring guide by ASG, and an M95 spring to make it CQB safe for UK. Are there any other internal upgrades people recommend? Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
