Thinking about fuses today, want to put one in my gun to protect the Titan, haven’t got much space in the buffer tube, got 2 from Halfords today that are way to big for the buffer tube.

 

What do you fellas do? Or suggestions?

The titan has a digital fuse already. 

Protects from oversurge? Shorts? The whole shebang?

If your Fet (with digital fuse) is a long distance from the power source with potential for pinching or damage to that wiring run then add a fuse as close as possible to the power source.

 

EG if you get a pinch short pre Fet you will cause a fire / short battery out etc.

What fuse/holder would you recommend?

You should be able to get a mini blade fuse in there, use 2.8mm female blade terminals.

 

Or you could solder in-line some 12v 30a strip.

30a is pretty hench, depends what your build is pulling load wise.

Personally a 20 or 25a mini blade should serve any normal AEG.

in all my own gun when converting to deans if theres a fuse i just chop it out and dont bother using them, i mainly run my guns on lipos.. after 6 years of doing this in many guns including mosfet never once had a problem.
