Krisz Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 17 hours ago, Armo1000 said: Shame about the mags. I have one of the newer ICS MP5A5s (CES-P model), with the etu and short stroke trigger and have found it an excellent, high quality gun. Recommend them, and much cheaper than the TM. Saying that, seeing these new TM MP5 has really tempted me to one of their SDs though. However the thought of buying a totally new set of mags when i already have over 10 standard MP5 mags really puts me off sadly. If they made mag converters like they do for their M4 mags, it might tip me over the fence. ICS CES-P isn't an EBB ofc it's cheaper. 56 minutes ago, ghostwalker said: Woohoo it's arrived from airsoft competitions today. But what on God's green earth is that battery connector all about. There's me sat with a bunch ofn7.4v lipos all wired to deans and going.....huh Welcome to MR30. It's time to solder. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to solder. 🙃 Whats best though. resolder battery conectors ro mr30 or cut off the mini tamiya from the gun adapter and solder a deans onto it. If so...Any idea which side is positive and which is negative as both wires are black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so...Any idea which side is positive and which is negative as both wires are black! Yeah. Get the slimmest 7.4v Li-Po for a starter. Solder female MR30 to it. From that point on you don't need the stock adapter because the gun is male MR30. (It's actually called AMASS MR30). I made an mr30 to deans adapter as well so I can charge it from my B6. Your Marui MR30 to tamiya adapter tells you the polarity when you plug it into your battery. But if you search here someone put some nice pictures about it ages ago that's how I did mine. If you did everything right it should look like this. It's a bitch to solder it though at least compared to deans.

Connect the other two to the Deans From the above it looks like the single of the 3 connectors is the positive. Should be able to confirm from the battery you have..

ghostwalker Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 well i have safely rewired the tamiya connector to deans and so far not blown the gun, the battery or myself up. All good so far. Its a shamme the tm200rd mags dont activate the cut off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Anyone else have trouble getting the butt plate off their MP5A4? following both Marui's manual and this video where it looks easy. Are they just super stiff at first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u6c2 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Managed to find a retailer selling 7.4 lipos with a mr30 connector but it's rated at 60c.... is this safe? Or do I need to stick to 30c max? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st commando Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I just changed the connection on the TM adapter from tamiya to deans target than changing batteries to the mr30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask them if they'd also supply a conversion cable back to Deans (for charging), but they never replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u6c2 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Thanks all for the replies. Is anyone rocking the extended mag release for their MP5? I have read that the cyma one will fit, which would be ideal since its a lot cheaper and still made from metal. Or do I need to cough out for a specially made one?

Sewdhull Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I can measure my mag release (cyma mp5) if you want, you measure yours and compare? The TM one has two grub screws the others have one. The TM one is an anodized machined aluminium part ( maybe cast or from a lump) and the others, mim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean this?… WiiTech CNC part, two little grub screws to secure it. Works really well for fast mag changes.. just push forward with trigger finger to release 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisz Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Just a silly question but anyone encountered an issue when your gun doesn't shoot straight with an attached suppressor? I assume that the bb hits the inside of it. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted June 6 Supporters Share Posted June 6 Most likely that's what's happening, you could look inside for white marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thokarn Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 This may have been sorted earlier, but I cannot find the resolution to the issue in the post. My MP5 throws a red light every 3 to 4 shots in the dry fire mode/bolt stop mode, on a 1100mah 20cc 7.4v lipo. Any suggestions on what I could do before taking it to a shop?

The Marui LIPO for the MP5 is 35C. try another battery with a higher C rating. For info some batteries are listed as 20C but in reality are actually 1/2 that.

Mine started to do the same thing not long ago and battery charger struggles to charge it without error messages so I'd say that's a battery issue. Probably damaged cables or cells. It's not difficult to ruin it it's so little space in the handguard. Edited June 6 by Krisz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotweeweejef Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Any one else run into feeding issues with certain BBs Only just got mine and had nothing but issues. Using some bios that I’ve not used before so I’m hope if it’s just that. Initially slight forward pressure on the bottom of the mag helped but now it’s just random whether it will feed on not.

I'm using marui perfect hit .25s and they seem to work nicely. Good feed, consistancy and accuracy. That said they aren't cheap but they are what most marui aegs are designed around. Definitely work well with the NGRS series. Hotweeweejef 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIOs often aren't as good as non bio BBs especially if they aren't a good brand. Personally i will not use bios in any of my rifles Hotweeweejef 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
