Yours definitely had wobble. And it has since been fixed. Who else's has been confirmed to have wobble? Because out of the 3000 units sold so far, yours is the only one that I'm aware of that has been

Do you guys have MOSFETs in there?

 

My 2 yen worth :-

 

I have an AWS Scorpion X500 in mine (review found here http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=192137&pid=2434891&st=0entry2434891). However, I believe the failures Megalomaniac are seeing is has more to do with the poor auto-cutoff mechanism (the springy bit) than with whether he's FETted it or not. The micro-trigger failures are common with Tavor's too (which uses the same concept).

I have a feeling the failure is due to sheer number of trigger pulls, this micro switch lasted through two bags of bioval .27s (3700 each), 1 bag of TSD .28s (5000), 1 bag of TSD BIO .26s (3000), and 1 bag of Bioval .25s (4000) for a total of around 19k rounds assume 18k of those went through the gun, each and every one of those was done on semi, since late November/Early December.

The number of trigger pulls and short MTBF on these make sense.

 

 

So are they easy to fix? If not, where do you find a replacement for these if you need to and can you get a beefier version with a higher MTBF?

I've ran 8.4v Minis, 9.6v nunchuck, and 11.1v 15c Li-Po. The 9.6v is my prefered battery as if I do need to go FA I can do so without fear of overspin, but the trigger response on 11.1 is amazing.

 

 

Do you know if the trigger microswitches are rated to use 12.6V? (full charged LIPO) I've been using 7.4Vs and haven't had any issues thus far on both my ACRs.

Thats TWO micro-switches I've had fail now, my current one works fine in SEMI but if you pull all the way to the rear in AUTO it stops firing. GREAT.

 

 

Where do you buy replacment micro switches? ithink i'm having the same problem with mine. My masada is been out for 2 weeks now and i cant seem to figure out the problem. i was thinking on replacing the micro switch to see if that works. Can i buy this part at radio shack or fry's?

So I heard from various sources that Magpul was no longer going to outsource the gearbox to Ares and create their own in-house version for the gen 2 Masada. I sent a few e-mails off to various dealers asking if they had heard anything about this and if they were getting these "gen 2" Masadas in stock anytime soon...

 

I found the first reply I received interesting...

 

I don’t know where you got the idea the internals are made by ARES. It is totally untrue. The biggest falsehood. The item made at the present time is by magpul PTS. Magpul has not licensed and will not licenese this item to anyone for now. All parts are genuine Magpul PTS parts. There is no version 2 and most likely will not have one. All parts on this rifle is unique to Magpul Masada ACR. ARES has no involvement in this.

 

Hmmmm...
