I'm planning to ship the gun to a local guy who does upgrades and such and have him basically do everything for me, what kinda things should I request?
Like I have suggested before:
- 300mm stainless steel 6.03mm tight-bore inner barrel, recommend Madbull Steelbull but other quality barrels will do.
- High quality hopup bucking and nub, converted to flat hop, recommend Maple Leaf 60’ or 70’ or similar quality.
- Bring gun as close to field limit fps as possible, make sure gearbox components have best seal possible, if shim job is bad, reshim
- Replace the stock motor with a quality (short type) neo-magnet motor of about the 25k - 30k rpm
range
- Install a decent mosfet
- move the placement of the fuse to somewhere easily accessible, without opening the gun up
- maybe come up with more direct connection that the small Tamiyas that connect the gearbox wiringand the harness to the battery, definitely comvert battery connection to deans
Thank you for the list and sorry I missed it, I'm ADHD and my head is usually allover the placel ike that, but I've saved your comment in a file to send to him later on.
what would you call a decent mosfet, that would also be able to fit inside the limited space?
I'm gonna first swap the 9v over to this tiny lipo I bought and wedge it up in the angled bit near the magwell like that one guy did in his thread and just add a longer cable to charge it because I wouldn't be able to get it out without taking the gun apart.
Although how about requesting if this guy can get the ammo-counter to run off the main NiMH, if that's possible? And I'll probably move the switch somewhere so I don't need to take the magwell cap off to do it.
By the way how did you cut the hole in the bottom of the cap, what tool did you use? I make it nice and clean and smooth - also know where I can get a replacement one in the UK / EU? Evike has them for 12 bucks but shipping here is gonna be like triple that.
Personally, I don’t see the point of removing the 9v from the ammo counter in the first place, its simple, it works, and its really not that much in the way. My Pulse Rifle was my main skirmishing gun for two years and I never had an issue with the 9v or its wiring. In my opinion, you open up more troubles than getting solutions.
As far as mosfets, there is room to fit them about any where, I’ve heard good things about the NukeFet, most of the Gates are good. I personally run Gate Warfets in all of my Thompson platforms (including the PRs) but they are on the more expensive side, but I wanted to be able to use some of the options that the Warfet offered because I tend to overdo things (like set up a 26 rounds per second rate of fire from stock gears), I had to use my mosfet to push down my rate of fire while keeping a higher C battery and a 35K motor because I would feed on full auto with .32s and midcaps.
For 95% of players a simple mosfet like a NukeFet will do just fine. I sould definetly impress to have the fuse easily accessible for replacement and aboe to be pulled out of the GL front if you keep it there, the mosfet and fuse have plenty of room in the GL area.
All I did to cut a hole for the caps was make lines in the cap, and a Dremel.
As far as extra caps go, if you can find a Snow Wolf retailer, they should have access to the replacement parts, I know that the high cap mags, the mag cover/caps, and the grenade launcher pump action grip are all available.
