mastakillah Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hey guys, I would need some helpful opinions here. I have a gearbox full lockup, neither semi or full auto worked. when I pull the trigger which goes in all the way I hear a click sound like the motor would start the turn but it doesn't continue because something is blocking. I have taken off the grip and seen that the anti reverse latch held up the gears, I have unlocked that with a screwdriver tip and that released the whole mechanism. I have then tried to shot with it but then it locked up again the same way. I wonder if the motor is not powerful enough to turn it over, or the battery is just not enough, even though it was fully charged 7.4v 1100mah with 30c rating. It runs an E6 M110 spring. I didn't open the gearbox yet, I usually bring it to service but this is just over about 4-5 bags of bb-s since the first service. No problems with the contact bars and things, and its been already soldered and converted to mini T-type plug. I have ordered a stronger motor recently and I have a bunch of 11.1V batterys that I could test but I didn't wanted to risk testing with them until I have an idea what's up. What's your opinion on it? Should I test for trial and error or should I bring it to service to prevent any likely damage if this is something gearbox timing or ROE kind of issue?

tinkle60 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would try adjusting the motor height before anything else Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Y Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 you should try a stronger battery then if that doesn't work it might be best you take it apart to make sure everything is ok and moving smooth like shiming / gears etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitteh Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just got my TM M4 SOCOM and noticed if you are really light on the trigger on semi it can lock up.. but it does take quite a bit of trying to get it to lock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Y Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 thats correct, the way AEG's for is you need to pull the trigger back and although the mechanism to discount its self. If you try and fire and release it your self like a real gun it will potentially lock up. If it gets really bad then try more voltage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarsdenH Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Can the recoil shock m4's take the standard tm m4 wiring kits? Can't seem to find any wiring kits available specifically for the next gen series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blam360 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 hello all my front receiver pin worked itself loose in the last skirmish. I wrapped some teflon tape around it to make it a tight fit and it worked for the rest of the day, but it has now become loose again. I also noticed some play between upper and lower receivers. I can move the upper forwards and backwards and side to side a bit. Will a new TM replacement pin eliminate the play between the receivers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 It might, but you'd be betting on tolerances that might be in your favour and might be in the exact opposite. I'd say a better bet would be the Freedom Art two-piece pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VIPER-GR Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 i fixed my front pin the cheap way with a paper clip, u just need to file it a little bit and it will be more solid than stock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blam360 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 bought the magic box expanding pin and works like a charm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bettyblue84 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Does anyone else but Dytac make compatiable outter barrels for the RS line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 First Factory/Laylax did a 10.5", exact same shape as the TM one just nicer materials. Not seen any others around myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arne71 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Pro Arms I belive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pro Arms I belive. Thanks. The pro arms seems to be the cheapest of them all, possiably an indicator of the quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arne71 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I know there were some issues with the extensions on the L119 barrels. Have no knowledge about the other barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bettyblue84 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just the standard 10.5" im after, May aswell give it a try for $26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mastakillah Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Just for the record I have opened the gearbox and it turned out that a part from the ridge that keeps the O ring in place on the Prometheus piston head has snapped off, and that caused the stoppage like a lock-up. I have removed the snapped of part, it's quite tiny so it seems like it will run nicely like before of that. Also turned out that the rotation in the spring unscrewed the tiny screw that kept together the bearing part with the piston head, so guys make sure you pull tight that screw if you have it. I took the chance to upgrade to a Lonex A2 motor and an E6 120 spring. It turned to be a beast even with the 7.4v 30c Lipo.

WillSK Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hey guys & girls. I've recently upgraded my TM recoil to a finely tuned machine! Full Siegetek, lonex and Prommy internals with a Lonex Franken Torque motor, E6 M95 spring, ER-Hop and one of the new BTC New V2 spectres. It's running beautifully but I have one slight concern... I'm getting FPS of between 347-355 (UK site limits are 350 for the most part) Now I played with it yesterday and the site gave me the benefit of the doubt, especially since I actually play with .28's but didn't wanna be THAT guy who tries to pretend he's running at 280-300 but only coz he's secretly firing .28s through the chrono. In your experience is this going to be a problem for me or will sites allow this 5 fps tolerance? Is there anyway I can lower it that tiny amount without having to open it up and risk messing with how well it's currently working Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter guys. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewpidbear Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 If it's not still a TM piston, you should be able just to unscrew the stock tube remove the spring and either cut a coil off or swap it for a lower powered one. Remember 350fps is really max for must sites, so I would drop the power a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just take the stock tube off and chuck an M90 in?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah, spring changes are really easy on recoil guns once you've done the first one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
