Megalomaniac Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Which PEQ and what size battery is that? Sticking with XT60 or converting to Deans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunburnthammer Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) That is a box standard PEQ15 completely non functioning and they are 7.4 1600's and it will be switched to deans, they just came like that, from a big US RC shop if i remember correctly who now have a wharehouse in the UK. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17065__Turnigy_1600mAh_2S_20C_Losi_Mini_SCT_Pack.html http://www.ebairsoft.com/navy-seal-peq15-dummy-p-5760.html Its actually currently rigged for lipos in the rear stock but i think the TM stock itself is too loose.

Boba_Fett Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is anyone of the SOCOM-owners having a picture of the opened gearbox? As I want to rewire a SOPMOD to the front I would be interest how Marui installs the wires inside the shell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't have a photo, but the wiring route is very similar to a standard V2 gearbox, and off the top of my head there are 'guides' in the gearbox shell that keep all the wires tucked neatly in place. It's very simple to do. The only tricky area is where the wires route through the delta ring and barrel locking widget. Space is very tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunburnthammer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 SOCOM's have some extra wire guides that the SOPMOD's dont owing to the fact that they were designed to be front wired. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Yes, I already figured out that I will have to modify the barrel lock a little bit to get the wires to the front.... Edited January 23, 2013 by Boba_Fett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunburnthammer Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 will you have to do anything drastic to the barrel lock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 And the update: I was wrong: You do not have to modify the barrel spacer. There is at least enough room for standard Marui wiring. But the 4 inches from the front of the gearbox around the HopUp unit right through the front of the upper is pure pain. At least I managed to keep the wires away from the bolt stop..... For the unpatient ones: Don´t try this at home Now everything is in place but I have to tear it apart again cause the bolt stop isn´t working Note for myself: Never ever again buy a weapon four clumsy guys whos fingers are all thumbs have worked on.

VIPER-GR Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Anyone tried to fit a mosfet or avocado type to front?. I bought recently an avocado type "mosfet'' but as soon as i changed its connections to deans it died. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crash0744 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I'm running a front wired army clone with an AB MOSFET. Had no problems apart from the wiring sometimes gets in the way of the bolt stop. Edited January 26, 2013 by crash0744 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Half Trigger Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Never liked my TM sopmod, cost me a tonne, and only got one skirmish out of it. Now own a TM G36K recoil shock. By far the nicest gun I've ever owned. Simply beautiful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although don't quite me on that. I've much preferred my G36K and BoLT B4a1 recoils. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEgo Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 It kept breaking due to what I believe was poor tech work. The TM factory workers did a decent job on my Sopmod and my CQBr. Both have seen plenty of use, I did buy eagle6 springs to upgrade the fps but never installed them as I never felt I was missing out on anything performance wise.

PureSilver Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 TheEgo, did those springs include the uprated recoil spring? If so - do you want to sell me it? (And the M100, if that's the other one you've got?) PM me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've much preferred my G36K and BoLT B4a1 recoils. Wasn't ment as a dig , just yours was a bit of a 'vague' post to say the least . I have three M4 types and two other TM recoils and the only problems I've realy had with any of them was with a second hand one that was the result of a botched up-grade by the previous owner , and the point of this thread is to help other owners with information on the platform . So that's why I asked for more information what your problems were . Wasn't trying to be a 'clever bottom' ;-) Edited January 27, 2013 by druid799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I have seen there are clones of the Magpul ASAP sling adaptor made specifically for the TM SOPMOD, but they are hard to get hold of. Looking at the Magpul PTS ASAP for PTW and GBB guns it appears it might also fit - and they are much easier to source. Can anyone confirm this? I'm using a front wired SOCOM, so don't need to worry about routing any cables. Thanks Edited January 30, 2013 by SixtyNiner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slice Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Hey, i've got 2 urgent questions about the TM M4 Socom (this one: http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/AEG_AEP_Tokyo_Marui_M4_M16_Series_Tokyo_Marui_M4A1_SOCOM_Recoil_Shock.htm) 1. Is it very difficult to convert a front wired TM M4 Socom to a back wired version (like the Sopmod)? 2. The Socom Version takes regular 8,4/9,6v batteries, like any other AEGs? So i dont need an Adapter or anything like that? Thank you!! Edited January 30, 2013 by slice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrezzy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is there anyone here interested in collabing to develop a TM New Ver 2 GearBox Electronic Trigger similar to the raptor? The plans are available on airsoft mechanics, we just need some technically capable engineers to design it. We can do a group order for it. So sick of the crappy stock trigger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Richard y is the man for that. I'd be willing to help but I have little to zero electronics skill! I will however jump in on the order if/when it's finished to boost numbers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So i dont need an Adapter or anything like that? Thank you!! To answer your question, it depends on how good you are with wiring and soldering. I have rerouted a sopmod to be front wired like socom, it was not a fun project. The reason being is there is almost no room to move the wires around, especially around the bolt stop mechanism. You have to be crafty in the way you place the wires so it doesn't interfere with the bolt stop. Wire gauges I recommend are 20 AWG or 21 AWG. 18AWG is close to impossible to fit.

mrezzy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's basically two switches, one for the trigger, and one for the cut-off lever. feature requests (for me anyways) 1. 3 round burst 2. li-po monitoring 3. Active brake on/off 4. full cycle completion 5. ROF adjuster 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
