Negative Airsoft Vs Bedroom Techs

If you only know one way to do a job, you probably shouldn't go around telling people it's the only way or you may end up looking stupid & we wouldn't want that now would we.
These patches are basically sold out, 100 took less than 24 hours to go - I will be having more made if people want them, you'll need to email me though.
This is the first video I've had flag up that there will be adverts in it regardless of what I do which is annoying..

Pretty happy when you brought out the MP5 lower. As I was thinking of that exact same thing when I started to work on my ICS MP5. "The method that everyone says to use doesn't work because I can't see shit."

[@malcolmgough9971]

@@MegaChickenPunch Just use the same method you would use on the AR. Shim it against an AR grip (you can check the angle with a Maekiii alignment too to verify it lines up correctly). Although you can't set the shimming with the MP5 lower, you can use the left half of the shell to set the motor height after you've shimmed it against the AR grip. Once you've finished assembly you might need to set the motor height a quarter turn one way or the other, but nothing significant.

"im just going to have a little fiddle with it..." *proceeds to pull out massive drill bit....*

[@Whiskey11Gaming]

The reason why the 7.4V and 11.1V have effectively the same ROF and trigger response is because of the max current they can produce. I can't see how many C the batteries are, but I'm guessing the 7.4V was an 850mAh 20C battery (about 17 amps max current) and the 11.1v 1100mAh was probably a 15C (16.5 amps max). The motor is asking for more current and it isn't getting it. This caps the amount of torque the motor produces and negates the higher voltage's "increase" in speed. If you compare a 7.4V 20C 3000mAh LiPo to an 11.1V 20C 3000mAh LiPo the difference is VERY evident. Both can supply enough current to max out a motor's requirements on most sane springs. That means the voltage can actually play a difference, and the 11.1V will start to show faster ROF and speed.

[@Asomodai]

Not sure if you did it off camera, but I stick the motor into a plastic bag and make a hole for the pinion to poke through when cutting or shaving to prevent metal filings going into the can.

I never understood why people drill holes inside their gearboxes, especially on AR's. Just put the motor in the grip and screw the motor plate on. Put the bevel into the right side of the gearbox case, hold the grip with the motor flush to the casing and adjust the motor hight. You can literally see everything. Shim the bevel to the pinion and thats it.
