SilentTank Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Olive Drab version is out, am actually contemplating on getting one even if gearbox is a pain to source. Yeah I saw it on redwolf, its 75$ more than ehobby but only they have the olive drab that I could find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentTank Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 It is here!!! Utterly beautiful!!! Which way do i turn to get this orange disgrace off the front barrel though??? The battery is not even here yet but insanely excited this gun feels rock solid. Barrel has minimum wobble only when I twist. The mag catch does not release the mag with a minor press I actually have to pull the mag out it has a tiny amount of resistance. Minor flash at the back end and behind the grip. Looks amazinggggg pics to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crimeblitz Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 ive just removed the mars sight from mine, god damn i love this aeg. unfortunatly my mag does release if i breath on the release catch. Im sure i saw a thread on where to put a spring to make it a bit tougher but i cant find it now, anyone know where to put it? i assume its just wedged in behind the catch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yetifas Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Is the gearbox for this gun already out, am having a difficult time sourcing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentTank Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 PICS Flipped the fire select also put a slightly stiffer spring in it for a better turn and lock. My god that thing was hard to get in place! Accuracy: freaking amazing. I have never had a more consistent AEG. ROF on a 9.6 old school battery is nice can't wait for the 11.1. The mag is very high quality feeds great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warpix Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 It is here!!! Utterly beautiful!!! Which way do i turn to get this orange disgrace off the front barrel though??? It's positive threaded, so righty tighty, lefty loosey. Glad you're having a good time with yours, and welcome to the club! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe how tight this thing is on...Still haven't gotten it off yet. I am worried I am going to break the barrel so I laid off until I can get a heat gun. The gun shoots incredibly. For now just running off of a old 9.6V and it is incredible. High rof, shot to shot consistency is amazing as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBond Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Actually since you're in the US, that red tip is hot-glued on (Cybergun's idea), so if you want to replace it, it's safer to break it apart but I'm guessing you might want to keep it to put it back on if needed, so I recommend dipping it in very hot water so the glue melts off a bit, then like Warpix said, positive threading...

Oh well hot water it'll be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Good to read over this, I bought Lon3wolf's tavor off of ASF and it'll be here tomorrow. Literally everything inside already replaced/added that needs to be there, except new gears and a pulse mosfet I am hoping will fit. It's going to be running like a champ on the lipos I ordered too (I'm guessing 35 rps). I'll let you guys know what I think of it once I play around with it a bit! One problem that the previous owner has had though... He says the selector switch is finicky and doesnt work from time to time, too strange and unpredictable to even explain the exact problem.... I found a POSSIBLE fix for it but what do you guys think? The fix I found was basically to just tighten the whole mechanism up inside all the way to the gearbox. Sound about right? Any other input? Thanks! Edited January 4, 2011 by hmg9194 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Also, one more bit of info needed for my build, I need to make sure a battery will fit. Everything checks out, except that the battery is 1-2 mm taller than a 9.6v elite nunchuck (which i know fits), is there room to play in the battery space? Surely there is that much... Thanks!

Thanks! should be fine I have a 9.6 in mine right now till my lipo arrives. Good luck with that redic ROF...Way excessive for what I like lol I would be outta rounds in 3 seconds with that! and the fix for the selector is a few pages back. Theres a single part that can be shaved down to work much better. Edited January 5, 2011 by SilentTank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It came in, and doesn't work. I'm geussing it's the selector switch problem so I'll go search for that post you mentioned. Hopefully I can get it working... total buzzkill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Love the gun, sounds and shoots great with all the upgrades in it, although the "trigger/selector issue" he spoke of effects me as safe and semi are perfectly 100% fine, but full auto works <5% of the time i pull the trigger and when it does it shoots 2 then stops. Idk lol. One question though, in semi auto, I hear a click at the end of the pull (in the trigger mechanism), but not when it is in full auto. Could this be an issue? Need a new trigger? Or maybe how the selector switch and trigger are set up together is off. Idk, what do you guys think? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huh the full auto is not an issue I am familiar with, most people had problems with semi locking up and not firing, then would switch to full auto and after a few rounds back to semi and it worked perfect. Not sure what you mean by the click when you pull he trigger unless its the micro switch being engaged... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yah, I'm guessing that's what it is. I have the same click on my PTS masada. So what? faulty micro switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentTank Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 new pics! Skirmished her a week ago tomorrow the Tavor did AMAZING. I can't get over how accurate it is almost on par with my 1k$+ custom G&P woc. I bet a tight bore in this gun would make it even more ridiculous does anyone know what diameter standard Ares barrels are? Did experience 2 times so far of it not doing anything in semi and needing a switch to full auto to get it firing again. And finally ordered a lipo but my dumb butt got one that is to large to fit in the battery space Anyways shoots really nice on the 9.6V but I still want to see if it can handle a lipo stock before any upgrades to the internals. Btw long barrel tavor + short pmag = sexxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 great to hear it's a good performer! now only if mine would work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warpix Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 If I remember correctly, the Tavor has a stock 6.03 inner barrel, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentTank Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 If I remember correctly, the Tavor has a stock 6.03 inner barrel, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. that could explain the superb groupings. Once I find a measuring tool I will check till then I am happy! Rof with 11.1V 20C discharge 1000mah lipo: SCARY Like really scary. Gives insanely fast semi auto shots and full auto...well I only run Mid caps and it chews through 80 rounds in seconds so I can only imagine rof in the low 20's. I am positive I will never do anything to increase the ROF on this gun unless the motor burns out...then hello G&P m120! Everything sounds great. Burned through 8 midcaps mixing safe and semi. Still locked up once in semi. <<PITA So I will see how long it holds up with the 11.1 then will start replacing as parts are needed. I shoot mostly on semi because of midcaps so hopefully it will go well! BTW what are most people using for pistons? and is cylinder head normal v2? This gun is LOUD would not mind having an silent head! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hmg9194 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Careful running a lipo in it stock, you can fry the electronic trigger mech quite easily and idk if they do replacements Quote Link to post Share on other sites
