Bypassing Fuse

[Pancake]

I got a new RIS, and my fuse will not fit inside. My best option is to just bypass it. Some people say its fine, some people say its the worst idea ever.

The only issue I hear about bypassing the fuse is when people press the trigger when the motor is stuck. I typically don't, I just press the trigger quickly about 1-3 times just to be sure.

I'm just worried I will end up blowing up my motor/battery. What are your guy's opinions?

Should be fine as long as you don't keep trying to fire the gun when it's jammed. I've done it before, just stop pulling the trigger the second your gearbox stops cycling. It can be a bad idea if you have a broken gearbox that you're trying to fix, as you might have to check it several times. You might be able to move the fuse to a different part of the wiring if there's room in your gun.

You should be fine, the point of the fuse is to pop if the circuit has more amperage than the fuse can take. Generally that happens when there is an issue with the battery, or when like you said the gearbox is locked up and the motor is pulling more amperage since it is trying to turn but failing. It really shouldn't be an issue, just keep an eye on (well, hand I guess) on your battery while you're playing, and if it is getting unreasonably hot, something might be wrong. Same goes for the motor. If your gearbox stalls out, the motor pulls more current, and since the motor cannot turn, that energy has to go somewhere, so it turns into heat. Just make sure your motor and battery don't get hot, and you should be fine. Hope I answered your questions

Ever thought about installing one of those little self resseting fuses some place? I have never done it, but thye don't seem to expensive and would be a decent fix to your problem possibly.

I got one of these with my mosfet. While handy, they really are just a waste of money. I wouldn't bother unless you are running a lipo (because, ya know, those fackers explode).

Common sense: If your gun isn't shooting, don't hold down the trigger.

Take out the fuse and enjoy the improved trigger contacts. You won't miss it.

Until your wiring shorts and you fry your motor and harness, and then your battery. I don't advice taking the fuse out, its there for a reason. If its to big, they make smaller buss fuses and holders.

I personally run w/o them, but I have also dealt with the consequences(as stated above) from doing it. Get quick at disconnecting the battery to minimize it is all I can say.

i agree with bulldog, the fuse is there for a reason, i would try to find a way to keep it in your gun if you can. not only is the fuse there to protect your circuitry the fuse can also help as an indication for wiring if something goes wrong.
