Still love the gun even though I haven't used it that much though as not been to many games much recently. I'm going to upgrade my bucking and nub as it struggles to lift anything over .20g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevobeavo Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 My little order from AK2M4 came through the post today (great service as always). New 240mm ZCI barrel paired with a gear parts omega nub and a old ML bucking. To finish off they are inside a new ZCI hop up unit. Reason I've upgraded the hop up unit in all my DE guys is for 2 reasons; The first is the arm has a different moulded end and the omega style nub doesn't fit in there properly. Secondly the standard DE hop adjust wheel only has half the adjustment range as the ZCI or similar design (I used a specna arms one for reference). Hopefully now it will lift and fire .30g as well and as far as my other DE guns. RostokMcSpoons, ak2m4 and BigBell1987 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbird_666 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 In the market for a new ('not-an-M4') RIF and I keep circling back to this one and it's now on my 'short-list'. Question is - how is the Falcon ETU at handling 11.1v LiPos out of the box? How has the unit generally held up with use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running 11.1v Li-Po's and Li-Io's in mine for over a year, and it's been faultless (the same with my DE rifle built to be a DMR, and my sons). There are some on Reddit who really twist the knife into the Falcon controller and its reliability, however I'm betting (based on what I've read) that they've run them ragged on full auto and you really can get the cheap stock Chaoli motor very hot if you're a numpty / newbie and this is also negatively effecting the controller.

Stevobeavo Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Just to add I've got 3 DE guns and run them all on 11.1v, never had a problem. My 904G must be coming up to 2 years old now, abuse full auto now and again, never opened it up to service the gearbox (sounds a little noisy now so might have to), still has the same RPM and FPS/joule it had out the box. Also as it uses a V2 gearbox it will accept parts from your M4s Edited September 16, 2022 by Stevobeavo Speedbird_666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdale9999 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Has anyone tried these yet? Not sure how long they've been about for: https://projectairsoft.co.uk/collections/double-eagle-utr45-m917g/products/utr45-m917g-drum-magazine?variant=43799937745120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjebus Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I've got 1. it looks like something dreamed up by an airsoft company but it's actually a copy of the LWRC SMG 45. internally it uses the same Falcon gearbox as the M9XX series so is pretty rock solid. biggest problem is trying to carry the extra mags as they are about the same length as a P90 mag.

Stevobeavo Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Finally got my mag adapters to run the more manageable mp5 mags. mag wobble is no more than the standard magazines. I'll test them out this weekend for any feeding issues Egon_247 and RostokMcSpoons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevobeavo Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 First time I used the mp5 mag at the weekend. All fed perfectly with zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got your average macaron/zci plastic today (also from AK2M4 lol) and while I've managed to test perfectly fine and get good results, I can't get anything in when it comes to full assembly. Even with just the two metal rods that guide the UTR branded bolt (with no springs, nor the bolt) it prevents me from getting it in as it's getting stuck on something, even after pushing the hop into place like you mentioned. Did you do some fitment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
