ThisKillaDT Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 So I have had this work horse for a few years well since 2015 I think, only used as a back up if my Tm 416 or scar went down. any how my youngest wanted to come to airsoft, so I did the pre game checks the night before. Fully working, only use 7.4v lipo in it, the same one I have all it’s life, the one petrol base sold me. so on game day it doesn’t work, check the battery wires for a break in them as it’s front wired but it’s solid to the ares mosfet. check the motor wires same thing perfect, so I get another motor and still nothing. so I strip the gun and have a look at the gearbox, to see this. the resistor or whatever it is has broken. anyone have any experience in this? It’s bizarre as the gearbox moves freely and when I use another switch and the motor turns the gear box. the mosfet is £44 to buy new. I am lost for words right now.

Skara Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'd get new bushings as well, yours are done for. Get some bearings. And yes, new FCU. Because Ares and their shit QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak2m4 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 What a pain in the Ares..and £44 for one of their crappy fets. The gearbox looks to have the same dimensions as the ZCI spare I have sitting here with me but mine uses the older micro switch, at least you can replace them for £2. Not sure if a TM spec shell will work. If you need a video of the replacement I have here let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 5, 2020 Supporters Share Posted July 5, 2020 https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/ares-airsoft-efcs-001-electronic-fire-control-mosfet-m-series-front-wired-19740-p.asp might need one of these... https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/ares-amoeba-electronic-gearbox-programmer-efcs-34645-p.asp but wtf did you do to it ??? did you drop it (down a waste disposal unit) ??? lot of money for a few bells & whistles - I'd consider to go old school with something less bespoke inside/outside basic mosfet or warfet or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'm pretty sure other brands boxes need some filing here and there to fit inside an Ares body. The P* Fusion Engine (and its Valken clone) surely does. The cheaper option, all things considered, is to just buy another FCU. Or, if you have a skilled friend, you could try to replace the thing that broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
