oh i already have the deans connectors already. I just want to make sure that ure supposed to solder a deans connector as well on the "?????"
I just thought there was one whole wire leading from the motor to the battery itself. I havent opened my stock before so i didnt know there was this "interconnect" wire as well Last edited by turok_t; September 4th, 2009 at 16:48.. |

Ahh thank you for all your help. I have finally soldered and replaced all tamiya plugs with Deans connector now. I used a total of 5 plugs (2 females and 3 males). I made sure that I wore a mask so I dont inhale too much of the fumes, which based on my readings, can cause birth defects. Most of the connectors were easy to solder except for the one that connects to the motor. That wire was a bit short so i had to resolder over and over until it was fixed in place, and i had accomodate by adjusting my position and my iron.
I realized that when i was joining the joints, some of the heatshrinks that were previous slipped on to the back of the wire were already starting to shrink so i guess i placed solder for a bit too long. I accidentally cross touched the wires on the battery and i saw a small spark even though I slipped on heatshrinks ahead of time but they slipped too back. But my battery seems to be working well so far. Like you guys said, I noticed ROF has increased, and im not sure but i think my FPS may have increased too. Normally, I can barely see the bb's travelling but now i cant even see them at all. I can only hear it as it hits the target. I hope i did everything right. |

ROF may be affected but FPS has nothing to do with your electrical connection. It's soley based on the kinetic potential of your spring.

Fumes are dangerous if you use some Lead Solder. Now, they usually sell some Pb-free solder. The fumes you see is the rosin core that melts. It can cause some lungs irritation but that's about it. Also, lead solder is really bad if you handle it with your hands and forget to wash them afterward and then eat, you will ingest some Pb. That is bad.

Just make sure you wash your hands after handling it and don't breath it in everyday for the next 5-10 years. a few quick solder jobs and you'll be fine. I use deans plugs on everything and they are way better than tamiya plugs. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Oh man, i got a really big problem guys. Today, I plugged in my battery into my gun and the battery instantly started to heat up and then smoke started to come out from one of the cables, one of the cable snapped right off, and a few joints where the battery and wires met are brownish/black burned. My battery is Elite 9.6V 3300mah from cheapbattery packs.com
What on earth happened?? Is this something I did with the deans connector?!??! |

You definitely soldered something wrong then.
Why not get someone who knows what they're doing, to do any doctoring or soldering for you? |

After the soldering, i tried the battery a few times on my gun before without the crane stock and it worked perfectly.... it was only after i put the crane stock and the battery back on my gun that this happened... I placed heat shrink on every joint and even if there are slight cuts in the wire, i wrapped it around with duct tape so none of the frizzy wires are exposed......
The wire that connects to the motor of the gun is slightly thicker then the wire that connects to the battery. What is the type of wire called for the one that attaches to the motor? Where can I get it? I want to make sure i get the right kind. |

Remember how I said I fried my battery? Well, I sent it back to cheapbatterypacks.com for repair. As im waiting for my battery, I really want to test whether my gun is still functioning or not and im worried that the motor and other internal components got fried as well. Would I be able to connect the positive and negative terminal of the battery wire of my gun to any duracell or energizer battery at their respective terminal to verify that my gun still works? (I dont want to purchase another nun chuck battery since im a bit low in cash)

You're better off sending it to a gun doctor. You're lucky you weren't using a Li-po.
This is some dangerous stuff.. |

How many Amps does your gun need in order to shoot?
(if you don't know...then don't do it) |

Dude, take it to a gundoctor before you kill yourself or others.
Jesus. |
