mr7q Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 My friend purchased the one off of www.onlybatterypacks.com Fit without any modifications whatsoever. That doesn't seem to help you at all, but instead of whacking stuff apart, it may be wise to just buy a proper battery. Link to post Share on other sites

mhe Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 nice heres an update.. so far i got like 97% of the butt back plate in.. but it wont FULLY close.. hermm >=[ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you dremeled out the horizontal strut at the "end of the tunnel" properly? Make sure you do it right into the corners, otherwise the pack will not fully slide into the gun. It will also help to use other connectors, preferably round ones where you connect each wire individually, saves you quite some space. Also, the fusebox needs to be relocated to the right hand side of the gearbox or you decide to get rid of it (as i did). Could make some pics of my modified gearbox and internal wiring tomorrow if you like. With all that modifications, I can literally let the 1700mAh battery back fall into the gun and it is rock solid inside and there are no problems getting the butt plate to close whatsoever.

pingpong Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 man.. my batery is trouble.. ill try getting pics.. show ur pics btw =] thanks Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 man.. my batery is trouble.. ill try getting pics.. show ur pics btw =] thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, probably if you show me some pics of your battery, we can figure out what the problem is. My pics (about 500-600kb each): Gearbox wiring right side Gearbox wiring rear side Gearbox wiring left side Wiring to battery Gearbox inside gun, note how wires fit in on the left side without problems Gearbox inside gun, slightly other angle Gearbox inside gun, battery connected wires can be completely hidden in the left side of the gun Watch how much space you get if you change the connector Battery fitting perfectly into gun So, that's all for now. The connectors used are 3mm gold-plated RC-car motor connectors. I had to make adapters for my charger, but it's not that hard. The battery shown in the pictures is a Sanyo Cadnica 1700mAh J-Style procured from WGC. Has also been retrofitted with the said connectors by the means of a knife, soldering iron, shrinkwrap and a hot-air blower. If you need anything else, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites

systema Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Did you sand the back of the buttpad cover? (from mhe's guide): http://www.topfen.net/user/mhe/arnies/P90_...comp_medium.jpg edit: nevermind, re-read your first post. Maybe you could just clip off some of the excess plastic layer on the battery? Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 No no, the problem is the horizontal strut completely inside the gun: That is how it looks before: Note the horizontal strut. That's the one you need to take down. After modification: Make sure, you dremel it to a surface and that there are no remains left of the strut, especially in the corners! Use a dremel with flexible shaft, it is possible to do it without having to split the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 lol dam.. i dont have the dremel wit me.. its in my mom/dads shop =/ ill see what i can do thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Got mine for about 20 bucks and I use it for every gun modification ever since. The quality is better than expected. I'm sure your local hardware store can help you with that. If everything fails, take the empty body to the shop and let them do it for you. The nice thing about the P90 is, that once you strip it to pieces, nobody would expect it to be a gun. If dremeling is not an option, us a long soldering iron. That plastic melts pretty easy, but just make sure you don't touch it for long, since chances are you sting a hole into the body (which at that very location inside the body would lead to the inability to change magazines properly). The plastic chips can then be scratched out with a long screwdriver. Link to post Share on other sites
mhe Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Another idea: Take that pencil-style thingie you made and plug it into a drilling machine instead of a drill bit. Link to post Share on other sites
