Hey fellas,

Havent played airsoft in a while and my gun wont work.
charged battery, fuse looks fine, electrical connections looks good. any ideas on what is wrong?

What kind of battery? How long since it has been last charged? Battery could be bad. NIMH if not charged in like 6 months will cause it to go bad.... Lipo are good batteries BUT if unbalance will cause the battery to do various things like just quit working, catch on fire, be totally dead. All of these I have mention has happened to me. Not just for airsoft but RC as well....

I have two 9.6v 1600 nimh.

been about 6 months.

i put them in another gun a friend owns and batteries are fine.

Deans plug or Tamyia? If it's the Tamyia might have a loose connection inside the Tamyia. Not the one on the battery but the one that's on the gun....

its stock so i have Tamyia, it's probably what is wrong. going to take it to a shop to get it looked at, and / or switch to deans.

Thanks for your info.

If you have a voltage meter, test the wires at the battery connection on the gun. Set it to ohms, and pull the trigger, if the meter moves, it works. I doubt it will be your connection tho if the gun worked when you put it away.

It could be many things. Could be corrosion on the trigger contacts from sitting, could be a loose motor wire, on and on. I would take it to a store and have somebody look at it.

Unlikely but if the problem persists: disconnected motor wire, trigger not making contact, pinched wire.

you guys were right, it was the motor wires, just had to re-crimp them.

Thanks for info.
