Double Eagle M906C - Internal upgrades / tinkering

[RostokMcSpoons]

Cheers @Fatboy40 much appreciated.
 

I've had a reply back from Will at Spec Ops, he's said he's not had any problems with control units failing so basically he's unsure what could be wrong.  He'll take a look at it for me, but I as I can't spot an obvious problem then I think that'll be a waste of his time.   

 

A Gate Titan at £90 is a bit of a fiscal bummer at this point, I think I'll have to manfully struggle on with the other gnus in my collection until my situation improves, but at least it is, as you say, a drop-in replacement.  A tiny bit of soldering I could make a mess of, but otherwise reasonably straightforward.

 

@Skullchewer could you ask someone at Red Alert if they've had the same symptoms with any of theirs?  The symptoms are:
1) Super-hot motor  ... leading to

2) Double beep occasionally on spamming semi-auto

3) Full auto fires 3 or 4 before stopping (might be beeping too)

If they have any boneyard examples with a working control unit then I'd be happy to negotiate a price

... cheers!

you seen this?

next time you have it open snap a picture of the bottom board, in particular the square mosfet near the wiring solder points. I can't find a decent picture online but it looks like a 3503 mosfet maybe?

ooOOOOOOOOoooh!

 

just what I need, Evike, eh?

Thought evike had a history of dissassembling guns to get otherwise hard to find parts?

 

Ie evike having the spare is not an indicator of the manufacturer providing them

[RostokMcSpoons]

Shame I'm going to have to wait 4+ months to get my hands on it regardless

Might be better off just sticking a Perun Hybrid in it and call it done. Much better unit than the Falcon anyway.

 

I will be selling off my M904G in the next week or two - I'm thinning out my collection and I have a bunch of other M4 platforms that I can use.

Yes the Perun is a bit cheaper than the Titan, and has the program-by-trigger functionality.  Seems good, but presumably I might need to finesse the gearbox to fit it?

 

If and when you do sell the 904, please give me a heads-up, I might well be interested in it as a donor / experimental backup

@RostokMcSpoonsI've got two of the DE mosfets in my parts bag. Happy to sell them. They've been just sitting there but they were working when I took them out.

Haha I've just bought a 904g as a donor gun (spending more money than I'd liked in the process)... If only you could have made the offer a week ago 😭😂😋

 

Well, I'm still interested, the 904g can be a full spare gun rather than just a shell sitting in my loft, so please pm me with prices.  Please just bear in mind I'm a jobless hobo at the moment 🥴
