Madbull Springs?

Postby CCCman » Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:13 pm

Hi!
As of now, i am running a matrix m110 spring in my gun. It is good and I've had it for like a year now, and I've been happy with it. I then noticed madbull made an m110 spring as well. And it is only $15, i do have spare money laying around and i kinda want to buy the madbull m110, but i haven't heard much about it. Have u guys heard anything about madbull springs? are they better than matrix springs?

Why waste money on another spring if the one you currently have, works

I have the M110 in my gun, and it's great, but a spring is a spring. That 15$ would be better spent on a set of nice bushings, a set of shims, or some upgrade battery connectors, such as Deans.

This should be a new topic (so I don't clog this one), but why does everyone LOVE their Deans connectors? I get the whole surface area/pressure makes for a good electric current, but are there any definite issues with Tamiya connectors?

so the madbull spring is better than the matrix spring right?

What does your gun shoot now?

As spring age their tension decreases over time due to use and decompression cycles. If you've had the spring for a year it may be time to replace it.
If your in the market for a new spring you may want to look at this article (PDF file).

At higher voltages they tend to have a nasty habit to melt due to their cheap plastic construction.

There's no reason to get a new M110 if your current one is running fine. You won't see a difference between the two.

Okay. Thank you very much. I never really understood the Deans craze...

It's not voltage that does the damage it's the higher amperage bigger batteries produce. When talking batteries (any type of batteries for that matter), the larger the plate area the higher the amperage said battery can produce.
Voltage is what makes electricity arch (that’s why it’s called Potential difference) but amperage is what does “damage” due to heat. Static electricity is in the tens of thousands of volts but has very little amperage that's why it does not make burn marks on metal.


Tamyia connectors (AKA Molex connectors) are inferior to deans because of several reasons;

Long term use of tamyia connectors may make the metal prongs inside separate. Connecting and disconnecting tamyia connectors’ work hardens the aluminum making them brittle and eventually breaking and not connecting any more.

Deans connectors are rated for much higher continuous current flow. Tamyia connectors are rated at 9A continuous current flow (15A continuous current flow for the large tamyia connectors), compared to Deans which are rated at 40A continuous current flow! Just an FYI, normal non-upgraded AEGs have fused rated at 20A.

The surface area of electrical contact for tamyia connectors is very small compared to deans. With this it basically creates a bottle neck in the wire reducing the voltage that is applied to the motor.

Ah excuse my mis-information. The point none the less was given :)
