  1. Here is what the inside of my TM-Scar L looks like after 40k~ rounds using 11.1v and 7.4v lipos at 392 FPS. http://imgur.com/a/VTPTR#0 

     

    Prometheus 363mm 6.03 barrel

    Magicbox POM piston head

    Prometheus hard piston

    eagle6 M120

    Prometheus bearing spring guide

    SHS Gears

    Turnigy Nano-tech 1800mah 25-50C 7.4v lipo

    Turnigy Nano-tech 1800mah 25-50C 11.1v lipo

    Rewired with 16awg PTFE and deans plugs.

     

    Everything else is stock right down to the nylon bushings other than a 3/16 sorbo pad to correct AOE. I have fired around 70k rounds thru this gun in the time I have owned it.

  2. Also can you use a Prometheus Hard Scar Piston with a standard TM piston head.

    Yes. 

     

    Dont be surprised if the piston head just spins on the screw inside it tho. The first time I removed my piston head to change the stock spring it came off no problem but this weekend when I tore it down to upgrade to the Prometheus piston I could not remove it since it was spinning freely on the screw.

  3. Again. I don't care about high ROF. In not trying argue but I cannot accept what everyone is saying about running an 11.1v when none of them have ran one and there is not a single documented failure caused by one. If the design is not built to handle it what can be done to fix that in your opinion?

     

     

    I think that as long as the cycle rate does not exceed the return rate of the recoil weight and everything is shimmed (steel gears) and AOE corrected I believe that the only things I will have to worry about are the piston teeth stripping and the motor overheating. I may be wrong tho, which is why Im asking for people who have experience.

     

     

    Eagle6 offers 7.4, 9.9 and 11.1v lipo options for the sopmod. So clearly there are people running higher voltage.

  4. Personal experience of knowing two players who've both upgraded there gearboxes with all promi parts and eagle6 springs and bearing spring guides , player ones gearbox totally self destructed on a 11.1v 1600 and player twos gearbox was on the verge of it when he opened it to investigate a 'grinding' noise coming for it .

    In 4yrs of playing all over the UK I haven't yet mete a single S'ofter who's successfully run ANY TM recoil guns on a 11.1v batt .

     

     

    Do you happen to know more details on their setups? What were the specific failures? What gears and motors were they running?

  5. Anyone know were I can find a replacement spring for the anti reversal latch? When I opened my gearbox to install the prommy spring guide I found the AR spring mangled up. I'm pretty sure I installed it wrong when I first installed my eagle6 m110 spring.

     

    The problem now is when I close my gearbox the piston isn't being pulled back. The teeth on the piston and gear are in good condition as well.

     

    With the gearbox open I can spin the gear by hand and it starts to pull the piston just fin tho.

  6. Just removed the barrel and shifted the wiring to the side (or at least they should be to the side, its a bugger to actually see where they are going)

     

    Noticed the barrel had some wobble too, now its very firmly in place, however now it won't fire bb's even with the mag pushed up.

    Really tempted to just hand it in to fire-support and have them sort it, only downside to that option is that their current turnaround on repairs is nearly a month!

     

    sigh..

    Take a look at the feeding port on the hop up. I had a problem with my mags not feeding properly and it turned out that the lip of the hop up feed port was slightly damaged. I took a knife and cleaned the edges and its feeding perfect.
