Isamu Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) thanks for the heads up, mate! I wouldn't personally sell any old spares, you never know when you will need them Edited November 22, 2013 by Isamu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Any idea's if a RS UltraLight Ace stock will fit a DTW?I appreciate I may have to cut a notch in the tube to accomodate the wiring.Second question would be, do you think it'll be possible to squeeze battery in there along with the LONG-*albatross* mosfet.(See middle stock) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derektemple67 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 you could use something like this instead? that way it still uses the buffer tube and you could use a small buffer tube battery if the mosfet is small enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Issue with that Derek is the DTW mosfet is flipping huge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yesterday I managed to install a homemade sorbo cushion in the piston in order to make the gun a bit quieter, It is still a bit loud but now it doesnt sound like the piston was hitting a brickwall with a sledge hammer. I think it is a good mod to do, TBH Funny thing is that I changed the Tamiyas for an XT60 connector too, so I shot tested the gun too and got an improved performance as expected, but just for a couple of shots as the gun would stop shooting, unplugged and plugged again, two shots and stop... I opened the gun and there was a nice red led hailing me, unplugged and plugged the battery again, got to shoot perfectly without cilinder and now even with the cilinder it shoots OK. Any ideas why? im still a bit puzzled by it although I think it could be related to the added sorbo pad in the cilinder in anyway @_@ In the happy note, I have ordered an A&K PTW mag from taiwan gun (15€ shipped) and will inform about compatibility upon arrival Moar happy notes, Rsov is selling the M4A1 variants of the MAX3. Tempted, but I will wait for WGCShop to stock them, they wont add a "Free" Vanaras mag to make the price 30$ higher than the DD rail model http://www.rsov.com/product.php?langId=1¤cyId=1&manufacturerId=10&prodId=19011&cateId=434 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Better late than ever, now with MOAR double posting... Since my last post some goodies have been Installed: * ACM GBBR ASAP swivel, no mods to be done, perfect fit * ACM LE M4 stock for AEG, a bit of wobbling, nothing serious once in shooting stance * A&K magazine, perfect fit, zero wobble, perfect feeding. Bad side is that it struggles to activate the bolt lock feature Waiting for: * vanaras metal mags * G&P magic pin * Element GBBR Tango down grip to mod Lets keep the thread alive ; ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Still swearing at mine trying to get the accuracy better.PTW barrel fits in the DTW outer barrel.Will feed on empty mags but serious fps issues on full mags.Waiting for dytac PTW barrel to arrive.Still alot of jumping on FPS on standard cylinder, I've stripped and rebuilt and replaced orings. Want to test a PTW cylinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hypnosis Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well after a lot of reading I've decided to now head down the DTW route as well. Let the games commence! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Update. Dytac outer barrel in. Ptw chamber being used. Feeds and fires fine on chrono. Acted up during game. Few misfeeds. Odd low fps round etc etc. Packed it away. I believe this is down to the fact the ptw hop chamber I have has been sanded down quite a lot. Now waiting to ordr a new ptw hop chamber, and will report back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Check the back end of the cylinder verses the stock tube cap. If it only needs little effort to split the upper/lower then it may need the stock tube cap packing out alittle. My FPS loss was due to the loose fitting between the cylinder and the stock tube cap. Packed out the cap slightly (using a thin o ring) and there is less visible variance between shots. Won't be able to say more till i get access to a chrono Edited December 24, 2013 by LordElpus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I believe the shimming on the stock tube cap is perfect. No play in the cylinder. Mine is 100% hop/barrel related Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valkyr Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Anyone seen this yet? Celcius CTW MX-4 http://www.tsg-tactical.com/celcius-ctw-m4-cqb-and-m4a1-mx-4-pre-order.html S-T-T-S confirmed they will soon be taking pre-orders on their Facebook page too. Looks like some good improvements? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Guys, whatever you do, NEVER! buy an element GBBR tango down pistol grip to mod and fit it into a TW, that thing is harder to grind than Chris Costa's beard... @_@ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stan-O Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Anyone seen this yet?

Looks like some good improvements? Whoha, at 1000 euros you'd be better off buying a tested and trusted Systema PTW, wouldn't you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyng Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 1000€ for the new ctw or the same amount for a fully upgraded dtw that works..... I have my choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The DTW Max3 already works... =,( but for that kind of money we could make it work better or simply buy like 3 DTWs for spares I agree with Lyng, I have my choice too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OriginUK Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 In the UK I believe it will be £800, it's on the Celcius website now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Still not worth the money you'd be better off getting a DTW and pimping it from word go or saving abit longer to get a 2nd hand ready upgraded PTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OriginUK Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I hate the shiny body of the DTW though. Think a lot of these "not worth it" comments are based purely on bad rep from the 2012 releases that had a lot of lemons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) you mean the several releases so bad that they ditched their own product and used the DTW as the base model, then threw some spares in the box to justify a price hike? If you feel confident enough to work on it yourself, by the parts you need/want then assemble it. If you mix the right blend of DTW/CTW and PTW parts you will have a good bit of kit for similar price to the CTW MAX BOOBIES Extreme edition Edited December 27, 2013 by LordElpus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Oh well. Managed to get the FPS loss down to around 15fps, FPS consistancy is good and there is no jamming/chopping/wierd stuff happening. Now that is all sorted I need to fix the electrics as the mosfet board has fried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Madness ! Whatever happened to out of the box skirmishable ? Edited January 18, 2014 by Baddbaz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) it's what happens when you buy a clone of a £1000+ gun and only pay £300 for it. Plus it was one of the first batch so I am amazed the fet lasted this long. It could have been worse, could have bought a Celcius Edited January 18, 2014 by LordElpus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raketen Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi i just godt my a&k mk4, and it is realy a great weapon. But after some times opening and closing the reciever. It has gotten a lot tighter :S in the beginning it only took a little snap to open, but now i really have to use some force.but it doesnt look like there is any thing stuck in there. Anyone that got the same problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
