thanh Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Might buy this gun https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-e12-edge-carbine?fv=9283 Apparently it is brand new and value to price is amazing as it is upgraded with good stuff. However don't know what batteries to use and fit it as there is no information on this gun. I found these batteries as the gun say it is an dean connector. 11.4v https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1200mah-3s-15-25c-lipo-airsoft-pack-t-connector.html 7.4v https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2000mah-2s-15-30c-lipo-airsoft-pack-t-connector.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seejay Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Your best bet would be to contact Patrol Base and ask them what battery they would recommend. Some manufacturers are iffy about people using 11.1s, and in some cases using one can void the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yukarin Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I also have an SA-E12, haven't had a chance to see it yet (away from home at the moment) but I'll be able to give a brief review this afternoon when I finally get home. It comes wired to Deans though but also has a Mini-tamiya converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 18, 2019 Supporters Share Posted April 18, 2019 "Suggested Battery Voltage 7.4v" Another of those super robust high end upgraded steel geared / racked guns that isn't warranted to run on 11.1V. <eye-roll.gif> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GATE X-ASR mosfet is fine up to 12.2V, it comes with a 9.6V NiMh I'd say a &.4v LiPo will be absolutely fine and while I see no reason why an 11.1v will kill it I would ask yourself if you really need it.

Guest Yukarin Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just got back home, VERY DISAPPOINTED, WILL BE RETURNING MINE. Several parts left unpainted: dust cover, receiver pins, qd sling point Full Auto doesn't work. Locks in place exactly like safe. proprietary delta ring / handguard system, seems like I cant replace the handguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several parts left unpainted: dust cover, receiver pins, qd sling point It's a shame to hear about the full-auto not working correctly, and the tricky rail replacement.. but, the parts you're disappointed about being unpainted are shown as such on the Patrolbase website... Don't forget, by-and-large, these guns manage to fit into the Combat Machine price bracket If they manage this by skimping on the Black Humbrol on some small parts, then I don't see that being an issue. Good luck with the replacement though, hopefully you find something you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with others the site shows clearly the bits you mention as grey looking. As for the handguard not being as you expected this is surely the type of question a quick email to patrolbase would have told you before buying. I think you have gotten lucky to have a mechanical issue with it as your other complaints while might be valid were your own mistakes or assumptions about a product. I do hope you get something you like or at least a fully working gun sorted out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by unpainted I mean that it is literally bare rough metal without any sort of coating. Though i admit in the pictures it looks grey, I still think its unacceptable.
