Problems with fuse.

Fighting-B · October 31st, 2007, 04:44

I'm having troubles with the fuse of my TM M4A1 (New Type). I'm using a GP 8.4V 1100mAh - Mini Type ( Ni-MH ) battery. The problems is when I connected it, pulled the trigger, the fuse just burned. So I replaced it with another 15A fuse, the result is the same. Could it be the battery's problem(cuz I charged it for more than 2 hrs) or the wire's problems? Can anyone help me on this??

It could be:
1. If your gun is upgraded try, 25A fuse after checking #2 and #3.
2. Electrical problem. Inspect all mechbox wiring for cuts.
3. Internal problem. Box is not properly shimmed, damaged internal parts.

Not likely. Did anyone ever mess around with the mechbox? Even to look?

For the battery, do you have a decent charger or one of those little wall things that makes you guess? Do you have a multimeter to test the battery?

If not, invest in a good charger and a multimeter. The latter is about $10 and can resolve any guesses.

Anything you've done to the connectors, such as swap over from a small connector to a large Tamiya? If so, you should know that the small connectors are wired opposite to the large ones (in which case you just opposite wired your motor). Is my guess if you modded it at all, because when you pull the trigger, the motor will try to spin the other way, but the gears won't let it because of the anti-reversal latch, causing more current to be drawn by the motor and blowing your fuse.
