Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 11, 2016 Technically a very very very slight increase in resistance due to fuse and additional joins (no matter how good) probably like 1% or so increase in resistance - but yup not really gonna notice edit - ok 1% is a low rough guess, but each join will drop a slight amount - even with deans on each join ultra sad bastids - run fresh wires uninterupted when doing a rewire and may risk no fuse but most likely use thermal fuses instead no fuse is very risky possible stupid/lazy - but I have done it to cheapo guns but anything of value the fuse remains (ultra sad bastids solder wires to motor - not wise/easy on pistol grip guns but maybe only for motor cage guns - g36 or ak's etc...) but even if it is say 5% perhaps it is more of a safety issue than anything else More of a wise common sense precaution than resistance subject Lipo's can explode if you are f*cking stupid like me so it is wise to put back the basic circuit protection that came with the £350 gun The wires aren't ultra thick either and wouldn't take much to melt if a short or overload took place (especially pushing that much juice through her) Replace the fuse - it isn't something you should just rip out thinking you don't need that crap oooh just learnt they do just the fuses with led warnings which is handy quick/easy indicator: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATERPROOF-30-A-AMP-Blade-Fuse-Holder-LED-BLOWN-WARNING-/170588198911?hash=item27b7d957ff:m:m34W_mUA30-w091D-zonkVA or just pop in these to get same fancy led warning of blown fuse.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25A-LED-Car-Auto-Mini-Blade-Fuse-25-Amp-ATM-Glows-when-it-Blows-Pack-of-2-/221718787965?hash=item339f78377d:g:UZ4AAOSwstxVCqOI think I'll order some of those myself next time I'm placing a fleabay order in my basket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted April 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 11, 2016 Its a fair bit more than 1% its not just the fuse and amount of joins its also how crap the connections are in most fuse holders. I use bladed fuses but always split the holder casing and solder the wires in. If a gun is already close to overspin territory then a small change can push it over the edge. I have issues with mine with overspin because I use a 35k Tienly motor with an m85 spring to keep my gun sitting just below 328fps. With all the wiring sorted I cant even use a 7.4v 30c unless the battery is half dead. I use 9.6v nimh and if I remove either the fuse or ecu it overspins even on that.

Guest PT247 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 must be the dmr on 30k & 11.1v have run 11.1v absolutely fine on my 20k motor in the PDW. Only issue is battery space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted April 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 11, 2016 have run 11.1v absolutely fine on my 20k motor in the PDW. Only issue is battery space.Think that is what SD is aiming at. The 30k on a lower spring will overspin but is fine on a higher rated spring like you have in your dmr. The PDW will work fine with an 11.1v and lower spring because thats what the 20k motor is for. As you know because thats what your running just clarifying for others.

Makes things a bit awkward when someone has an issue because without cracking it open you are never sure where to start ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 All UK retailers are selling with the 20k, it is only the countries which have higher fps limits that get the 30k so as I said, if it is a UK gun then it should be fine on 11.1v. Bit late to worry about cracking it open now he has chopped out the fuse and accessing the motor is a 2min job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Hef bought a PDW about a month back with a 30k motor but cant remember what shop that was from. Edit; JD airsoft just messaged him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 12, 2016 Supporters Share Posted April 12, 2016 That is why the UK is supposed to get the slower motor than US, though tbh it isn't ultra insane motor reckon you got a 30k or a mofo lipo or a weak spring - suggest you have a rethink... Then speak to shop if they got a direct import and possible spring/juice/motor option anything could happen old UK stock, grey/gray import was in short supply but now some US people might have eased up awaiting mk2's so a small surplus of US stock might find their way over to Europe perhaps with 30k Chuck in also supply problem if they ran out of 20k's and orders are begging to be filled.... Think they could of it SS the US spring setup 1 or 2 teeth but them over the other side of the pond might not like it if us Limey guns shoot a bit quicker (oh well - maybe something to consider Mr Krytac on the mk2's perhaps ???) But OP needs to be a little careful using it at faster speeds - says the guy who is highly trained in breaking more guns than he has fixed keep it at a balanced speed and she will do you proud - keep pushing her as it is and - well you get the idea by now.....
