Isamu Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 AKs and G36 can acomodate a 8.4v battery, look for a 7.4v lipo of the same dimensions and you will probably be using something around 2000mah, which isnt bad at all Now, back to SOCOMs... since I changed the stock grip to a HK416 type, the motor has wobbled a bit, nothing dramatic, but annoying... today I took down my old Dboys M4 and found out the motor didnt wobble at all, it wasnt due to grip space or motor dimensions... but I saw that the spring in the Dboys motor is a bit longuer than the one in the TM, swapped them, problem solved, now its hard to feel the motor wobble, even paying attention It still whines a bit though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazybob79 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Spring guide is not compatible and springs are shorter on the sopmod, so you need to cut them or the gun will die... quick just install the TBB, firefly rubber and firefly nub, metal bushings and Richard Y M100 Spring for almost, if not more, 340FPS. Thats the setup most of the users run and the gun is scary. I will test it tomorrow with a guarder 6.02 TBB stock hop rubber, scs nub and Richards M100. Wish me good luck Where did you find the firefly nub? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Where did you find the firefly nub? I installed a scs nub and the stock rubber, but you can find firefly rubber and nub at wgcshop, ehobbyasia or redwolf EDIT: Hornbill has released an aluminum nozzle for the SOPMOD/SOCOM What do you think?

sniper34d Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Guys, could I have a quick summary of the RIS frontends people have fitted to there SOCOM and any addition parts needed. I realise TM do a secially designed KAC RIS for £95, but I would like to see the alternatives:) Links to the parks would be great Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have installed succesfully: Dboys M4 handguard Dboys RAS II Cybergun KAC Rail Any of them needed anykind of modding in order to make it fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sniper34d Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 "Any of them needed anykind of modding in order to make it fit. " What do you mean by this? They do or do not need modding? If they need modding... What are we talking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Sorry I didnt express myself correctly, all of them were a drop in fit. I think that Delta ring based rails need no modification, while free floating rails need some or some shimming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixtyNiner Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Wow... Just read the whole 57 pages of this thread. Thanks to everyone who posted info and advice, I already feel as if I knock the gun intimately and I haven't even bought one yet! Time to start trawling the shops for everything I want... Edit: has anyone fitted a URX rail yet? They have some sort of funky nut/delta ring that needs a special tool to lock the rails down on to the reciever. Will that be a problem? Or just a matter of shimming? Edited August 27, 2010 by SixtyNiner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bastel Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Does any shop or user (maybe in arnies?) offer complete aftermarket batteries for the sopmod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 RichardY builds lipos for the sopmod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bastel Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Isamu. i read the first 48 pages. Is it right that i can use 7,4 volt lipo with a stock TM M4 Sopmod/ Socom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Seems like it, Richard used his SOPMODs with his own lipos and upgraded spring for a while with no issues. Mine has metal bushings and upgraded spring, but I shot less than 800rds in semi (80%) and short bursts (20%) with it in that config, so I dont think I can say anything first hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number5 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ok, so the G&P KAC replica fits lovely to my SOCOM, I did have to remove the extra added part (which I believe is to make it more solid, scratched it a touch trying to put it on without taking this off!) in order for it to fit, but i fits very nice. It DOES NOT however, fit a battery inside. ANY battery. Ehobbyaisa Straight up Lied in their description, though I was pretty sure it wouldnt fit anyway! however even the smaller Lipo I bought doesnt fit! I really like the look a the rail though so Im thinking of using a battery box to fit my existing lipos! really, aside from the Mk18 Ris and real small 7.4 lipos there doesnt seem to be a way to gt a railed front end on a Socom without a batt box. Depressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear that Number, im going to order the MCtar17 replica and pray the force I can use my 7.4lipos if not, I will build patience until someone decides to make an aftermarket outer barrel like the ones from regular AEGs, which are thinner than the ones featured in the SOPMOD/SOCOM... Which lipos are you trying to fit number5? 11.1v? Edited September 1, 2010 by Isamu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which lipos are you trying to fit number5? 11.1v? 7.4 V lipos. It was a 1200 mah batt which I bought to fit into the KAC rail, 130x10x13 (off the top of my head) The ones I regularly use are 7.4 v 2200 mah batts (about the same size as an small type 8.4v batt.) I'd have to get a kingarms long batt box (PEQ 15 type) or mod a regular PEQ 15 or 16 to fit this, its the lebgth, the box is about 25 mm short. I think I could mod a small box onto the back of the PEQ to accomodate the end of the batt. Or try find smaller or different shaped Lipos, but im really wanting around the 2000 mah range. Anyone had any experience with Lipo boxes in the PEQ 15 and 16 range. I know I could grad a PEQ2 and be fine, but I fancy a small PEQ box.

Isamu Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Its weird so small lipo doesnt fit with the groove the SOCOM has in the barrel... you are making me loose my faith in this rhino lipo... =( http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7312&Product_Name=Rhino_1750mAh_2S_7.4v_20C_Lipoly_Pack Well, when i get the mctar rail, i will tell you people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
