Sounds like the circuit/battery protection is kicking in Yep or the mechbox is locking up/broken. But most likely electrical if it cycles once. 21 minutes ago, Musica said: My imax charges both of them without issue not sure of any other way to test them. Been at a storage charge since the day I got them until now. If there was any problems with your batteries the imax would show a fault. You do balance charge them not fast charge I take it?

Seems like the problem is mechanical so I have emailed the retailer (jdairsoft). I hope so too I booked a game for the 14th as bring my own kit. It's literally my worst case scenario. Heres a video of the horrific noise it makes when I get to fire it after inserting a battery. 20190403_215725.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaw Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 As advised in the Evo Owner's Group, contact JD today. They'll replace it or repair it under warranty. Just make sure that you were using the recommended power of battery, or it could invalidate your warranty. Almost every Evo suffers from weak gears, but once upgraded, they're fantastic and reliable. My gen.1 first batch Evo shat its gearbox a few months into ownership. I had it repaired by Landwarrior, but paid to have it upgraded at the same time and I've had no issues with it since and that was years ago. Best AEG I've ever owned in 10 years, Marui's included.

Yea I can't believe how stupid I was to book the 14th as I had this in the back of my head. 24 minutes ago, ryaw said: As advised in the Evo Owner's Group, contact JD today.

Yea I was hoping it was anything but the gears. I put the mil spec spring and ball bearing spring guide in and ran it on 11.1v only so that's not an issue as thats what is required. It does say it recommends minimum weight of 0.25g but it has the same issue dry firing as well as with my asg blaster 0.20gs. Was it just ultimate gears you had added? Check out the box it arrived in Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the box it arrived in BB weight wont be an issue. It sounds like it is trying to burst fire on semi? This has become the problem with the evo that there are too many bad ones creeping through. I know of lots that have worked fine with never an issue but far too many do. Which is a shame as they are great when working. As for fine when the gears are upgraded that is a joke on a £300+ gun. Ultimate gears are crap though so not much of an upgrade. I would insist on a replacement and if that dies get a refund and buy something you can trust. Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaw Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I honestly can't recall what gears were put in mine, but probably steel Ultimates. I'd personally advise that you get it upgraded and stick with it. It'll be the only AEG you'll ever need and it's certainly the only one I've had for years now. Excellent indoors and out.

I agree with both points it's a bit of a joke for such an expensive gun but piece of mind would do me wonders and I am pretty picky about guns. I like stop on empty and SMGs so I don't have a huge choice to pick from. If I can work out some discount I might go for a set of decent gears in there as I have done a lot of reading before buying it and this is the only fault people mention that really lets it down. The retailer have said they will email me a label and arrange collection so far. Will do a full review on the appropriate thread when I get to the end of the line with the retailer as they have been speedy and informative responses so far.

It is not an upgrade though if it is something that is required to fix an inherent flaw. If there is a problem with the manufacturing that means the Evo has a high rate of gear failure then ASG should be replacing the weak area for free as the original product is not fit for purpose. No one should have to spend more money just to make their gun work the same as it is meant to originally. Albiscuit and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RMDavis Posted April 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2019 I've bought a Geissele rail for the A5! What do you chaps think? I'm personally a fan, and although there's not much difference in weight. It feels nicer to hold, I may not even bother with a vertical grip. Here's pictures of before and after. tasum, Druid799, OHDFoxy and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFrag.UK Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 @clumpyedge they are. I haven't really been interested in BB ones as a lot of those available have seemed to be quite flimsy compared to their BFG counterparts. There's also the added negative of significantly increased reload times but from what I've read and seen this one seems to be durable and reliable. My main thought with picking it up is that I'll use it as a follow up to a BFG when I suspect/know people are/were in the kill vicinity and I didn't gain any kills. Perhaps a foolish notion but I'll see what happens. As an added bonus the alleged effective range on the BB's being fired out is a 10 meter radius. @Druid799 my thoughts exactly. clumpyedge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I thought I was done buying pouches. Right: Templars Gear small cargo in genuine multicam to keep my phone, car keys and cigarettes Left: Emerson electronics pouch still in genuine Gucci cam, just because I liked the design.
