SKY Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 only remove ur fuse if that metal strip is gone obviously Link to post Share on other sites
[T.A.G]-M.S.FOLSBERG Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 In Denmark its quite normal to remove the fuse when switching for thicker wires to get better ROF. We dont have problems with it, ive never heard of a gun going down because it didnt have a fuse. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 i keep all my fuses in, apart from my P90, which already had the fuse removed but now ive stopped using the J-batt im gonna get me a new one put in Link to post Share on other sites
Badly Browned Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Whoa.....old thread...didn't realize until I already voted, heh.. EDIT: Hmm....guess this doesn't add to the thread, might as well add that I keep all my fuses in. Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Of all the AEG's I've ever owned, I only removed the fuse from one and that was the Academy L85A1. On single shot and 3 to 5 shot bursts, everything was fine. Go for a 'hose', the fuse would blow. I'd replace the fuse with the rating listed in the manual and the gun would do the same thing again. I think the fuse listed was the wrong value. Not that it matters now as I've sold the gun. I can see why some people remove their fuses. If a gun has been upgraded somewhere, more current could well be required to drive the motor. This extra current could well blow the fuse. Even I'd have problems working out what the new value of the fuse should be. At the end of the day, the maxim of 'Fuses cheap. Everything else expensive' works for me.

Jambo5000 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why would i do that!!!! Yeah i do when the fuse blows but other than that it a big NO for me. Link to post Share on other sites
***Ice*** Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yes I remove mine to increase my ROF. I want as little resistance in my circuit as possible: Shorten the wiring loom Use Deans connectors Remove the fuse Cut the selector plate out of the circuit It all adds up.

mamba17 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yes! All of my and 90% of my teammates AEG's are fuseless (not recommended though, if you're a noob, you need to have a lot of GB know how to take fuse out, it has been discussed). Link to post Share on other sites
steaktipz Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well, if you mean to raise your rate of fire, I tried it once with my src g36c, and you really can't tell a difference, so no. Link to post Share on other sites
2dgreengiant Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 3 of my guns don't have a fuse. I should probs add one but the battery space is very limited! Link to post Share on other sites
Silent_Assassin Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 NECROPOST! But as not to spam. I remove the fuse from all of my guns when they get rewired and a mosfet fitted. I use LiPo batteries and the current that they put out compaired to a NiMh battery is alot more than the usual AEG fuse can handle. Josh Link to post Share on other sites
jond36 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I accidently touched a red and black wire while i was soldering in a mosfet. After a giant spark, I thought I lost my gun but nope just blew the fuse instead. Thank you Mr. Fuse. Link to post Share on other sites

jond36 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Perhaps it would have been a better idea not soldering a live circuit LOL, Well let me rephrase that. I just finished soldering. When I went to test it the electrical wire around the soldering actually slipped down a little some how. It worked for a few shots until KABOOM! Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Andrews Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think the answer should be, if you are a new player then keep the fuse in, if you are capable of stripping your gun and have spares then its up to you. The added resistance of a fuse in standard guns is minimal (fractions of an ohm) and unless you were determined to extract the absolute maximum performance then leave it in. Simply adding better wire and Deans would more than cover the fuse resistance. Link to post Share on other sites
teflon don Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 motors can handle a lot more power than they are designed for your motor will last a lot longer on hi voltage than your fuse, so i remove my fuse so that i don't have to replace it every time i fire full auto for longer than 2 seconds as long as you don't keep pressing the trigger when your gun jams you'll be fine does anyone have experience with those electronic fuses (the one who have a reset function) Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Andrews Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 your motor will last a lot longer on hi voltage than your fuse, so i remove my fuse so that i don't have to replace it every time i fire full auto for longer than 2 seconds as long as you don't keep pressing the trigger when your gun jams you'll be fine /quote] The fuse is designed to blow when excess current flows through, not high voltage. As long as it is the correctly rated fuse for the current consumption of the motor, it will not blow, no matter how long you run the motor for. Link to post Share on other sites
teflon don Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 then i must be doing something wrong my fuse used to get really warm so i removed it before it could melt or burn something i guessed that the 11.1 volt lipo produced to much current or that the fuse was acting like a resistor Link to post Share on other sites
Samm Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well that's why you buy a bigger fuse for your bigger battery. Link to post Share on other sites
jomarx Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 All of my 10 AEGs are fuseless, and I usually replace them with mosfet kits (with resettable fuses OR computerized over-current protection). Performance and safety, but it comes at a cost Link to post Share on other sites
greg Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 This question comes up every now & then & I repeat that you should never-ever in any circumstances, use any electrical system without a fuse. The consequences can range from knackering the electrics (battery, fet, motor, wiring, switch etc.) to having the gun catch fire. However, none of my (over 20) aegs have fuses. I remove them to save space & increase rof. But, don't do it. It is silly & dangerous. Greg. PS, Mamba, I believe 2 & a half years is a new record for necro, nice. Link to post Share on other sites
gzus11 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 a motor will only pull the current it needs, adding a larger battery doesnt push more current through the system. it allows a greater supply the motor can draw if it needs. ive used an 11.1v 5000mAh 20c lipo, in a stock jg ak with a 15Amp fuse with no trouble, so from the 100Amps available the motor was not puling enough to blow the fuse. if it jammed or a short occured the current would increase to the batterys maximum and that would be bad. so i use fuses. i have tried the polyfuse resettable, they seem to be decent rated at 11-16Amps, ive only had them cut out due to the heat from FETs (mounted between them), away from heat they should only cutout with excess current.

eel one [COE] Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Fuse? What fuse? I rip them out of my guns as the first thing when I get them home, the darn things are only a PITA to work with. Apply commen sense instead, like STOP PULLING THE BLOODY TRIGGER THEN THE GUN IS NOT RESPONDING OR SOUNDS ODD. I have achived a measured 3.187% increase in RoF only by fuse removal, so I would not call it unnotisable to do this. Also there are guns comming directly from the factory without a fuse installed.

Silent_Assassin Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 To quote greg from another topic... I don't run fuses, however I am chancing it and one day I will pay. Kind of like riding a motorcycle without a lid or shagging a stranger without a condom. Josh Link to post Share on other sites
