If it runs straight & within site limits then I'd always leave it be until it actually needs looking at, ideally after 12 months, hopefully much much longer lol.

If it runs straight & within site limits then I'd always leave it be until it actually needs looking at, ideally after 12 months, hopefully much much longer lol. Warranty? Sending a cheapo gun back to Poland? Yeh, that's not happening for me - I can fix and tune most guns to a reasonable standard now so I'm happy to split open a gearbox. But I do understand where you are coming from. I just opened up my son's new/unskirmished Specna Edge - I'm glad I did as it was a complete sh**show on the inside. Now fixed and running nicely switching out a couple of parts and a bit of elbow grease (I won't bore you with the details) - I wouldn't of trusted the retailer to have properly 'fixed' it under warranty. I think my concern about the DE M904G is not really the mechanics, because they are easily changed/sorted, but rather that Falcon fire control unit. I desperately want it to be good, because DE potentially has a game-changer on their hands with this gun. It's just that it's unproven and in the current lock-down climate it's reliability cannot be established. But if that Falcon unit proves itself decently reliable - DE has just kicked the likes of G&G squarely in the teeth - I mean who would want an over-priced Combat Machine (up to £200 these days), when they could buy something like this? I'm excited, but remain a bit skeptical. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I just hope it's not like the Ares EFCS (read proprietary piece of shit that can't be swapped with anything else without having to buy and dremel a whole new box shell).

mightyjebus Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I S hopped my inner barrel and added a prometheus flat hop rubber (Blue) and a Prometheus hop tensioner (also blue) and I can now shift .36g with ease. I've also uploaded the 3D battery extension for anyone who wants to print 1 off. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4352413 I've got a high speed motor in the post and I'll be interested in seeing what different it makes.

mightyjebus Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm going to try both. I think the biggest gain will be seen with a 7.4 using a high speed motor. Using a 11.1 might be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George K. Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Hello, I bought the Honey Badger too and made an teardown after Delivery and Upgrade some parts. I added an new shs lightweight Piston, (14teeth) shs pom Piston head and an shs High Torque Motor - new protech Grease For the Gears - Overall an decent gun - played it one day Long and Love it. Im really impressed whats possible for this small Budget. The Falcon system works Like the Gate Titan/Aster, Perun or the cheap etu from T238 with optical Sensors. And i works like a charme. Thx For the battery Extension. Cheers! PS: sry for my english, im not from the uk. Edited May 10, 2020 by George K.

Skara Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @mightyjebus any updates? How's the gun performing? I am seriously tempted to buy one at this point (and sell my Ares piece of shit). Problem is, on TaiwanCum it's out of stock along with its longer brothers and the ones with the regular M4 stock. I have managed to find one on an Italian retailer but that's €200 shipped (almost double the price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjebus Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 its solid to be honest. I went back to the original motor as the high speed one was junk. I've got another 25000 motor coming next week that I'll fit and get back to crazy binary fire. I had someone message me a while back as they had problems with theirs feeding but every magazine I've tried (and I've got quite a few different brands) all work fine. Taiwangun as showing as "coming soon" so you might want to hold off until they get their new shipment. I'm hoping the Tan version arrives at the same time and I'll grab one. Oh and I've S hopped the inner barrel so it now chucks .36g about 65 meters. Skara and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedadoodle Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 @mightyjebus I just pulled the trigger on the longer version of this gun. The M904A. I will assume it has the same build quality that yours has.....assume or hope...either one haha. I thank you for all the descriptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
