hrturner Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I was sent a weapon that was not working at all. So the first thing I always do is take out my trusty 7.4 5000 MaH lipo to make sure that the user was using a charged battery. With this particular gun, I got to the point of plugging the battery in and immediately saw the problem.... Exposed battery contacts in a metal buffer tube equals bad time on your gun/battery. Needless to say previous owner was a moron and couldn't solder correctly to save their life. This is a more appropriate way to solder connections for a dean's plug. Moral of the story, exposed wires = blown fuses. Blown fuses = a non-functioning gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deans connectors are easier to eat than uncooked mac. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
