ASCU technical discussion

it's defective then. It should only work when plugged in correctly.

Anyone found that the motor wires would tend to split easily? When I installed mine, the red wire just splited and I could see the wire on about a half inch, and then only by taking it it opened a full inch, had to tape it to insulate the wire...

Yea the insulation on the motor wires is AWFUL

I re-solder on my own much higher quality wires.

I did the exact same thing. The wires that they use are so shitty and thick that it didn't fit into some pistol grips. Ribbon wire was an ass too. Just touching it the wrong way caused a rip. POS

Got confirmation from Airsoft Systems today, all units in their inventory have been sent back to be re-wired with better , higher quality wiring. My next shipment will feature this newer version. ETA 1-2 weeks.

Keep the feedback coming, they really appreciate it and will work towards improving the product.

Also new products on the horizon, however I'm not at liberty to discuss =D

Anyone getting strange errors?

the 3 most recent ones I put into guns have been giving me the "motor not strong enough" warning when I'm using G&P M160's and G&P M170's to pull sub 400 FPS springs.

does it even take 1 shot after it cuts out?

The second one I picked up has crappy motor wires. One wire ended up splitting as mentioned above but thought nothing of it as the one from the first batch was and is fine. I was lazy and just heat shrinked the section that cracked. The next time I break open the box, I'll just re-solder it with better wires that are low resistance and not nearly as stiff.

Now if I only knew of a retailer that sold some.... [/sarcasm]


You're going to be killing me Duy if they start rolling out the V3 kits...

negative. no issues with either of mine. I'm using an EG1000 and a stock JG motor that came out with the first run of black JG boxes that Karnage was selling. (though I am planning to run the G&P M170 on the M4 eventually)

then it's not the motor. There's something that's binning. Look into the cutoff lever and make sure it's moving freely with the gearbox installed into the receiver. I had that exact problem and it turns out that my cutoff lever was rubbing on the inside of the receiver.

I did a test rig with a SP150 spring. Everytime it shot it would give the motor not strong enough signal. I then put a 11.1v lipo on for power and the double beeps stopped.

new wires for the ASCU are very nice. Since everyone was having problems with them they replaced them with silicone insulation. Super flexible and a bit thinner than the previous. I got a chance to fondle the new shipment from Airsoftparts and they are indeed much more better. I can't wait for the new system that they are coming out with.

I just dropped in a new motor this weekend

Confirmed working setup:

G&P m120 box
G&P m170 motor
Intellect 9.9v LifePO4 20C 1100mAh

I was originally using a TM eg1000. It worked fine but it would often over spin. I will have to confirm if it will still turn over with an 8.4V large and 9.6v mini but I have gone exclusively LifePO4 on this particular gun.

Update:
-8.4v 2400/3800mAh (sanyo and tenergy) large works fine
-9.6v 1500mAh (custom pack - enrichpower) mini works fine
-8.4v 1400mAh mini does not work (even immediately after a full charge - charger shows 10.84v 1100mAh)

I insalled my ASCU early Jan, it was working fine with my Madbull 11.1v 1000amp 15c lipo. Until I gamed it today...! There seems to be a lot of power drain on the battery. I charged it again and still has that 2 beep. I they tryed my friends G&P 11.1v lipo and it worked fine for about 300 rounds. Then the battery went dry. My friend uses the same spring (Madbull 130) as I do. But his battery lasted him all night (Without the ASCU).

So I discharged my lipo, which I shouldn't do. And charged it again, it fires. But I'm thinking the ASCU drains a lot of the power from the battery. Anybody have this battery draining problem...?

My set up,
Madbull 130 spring
G&P M170 Devil Jet motor
TLP X17 charger
Systema helical gears, piston, piston head and cylinder.
G&P Mk18 Mod 0
G&P gear box
I tryed my systema gear box, but it wouldn't fit perfecty with the receiver. So I stayed with the stock G&P 8mm. Which is made very nice.

First I thought the amp on the lipo was too low, then I thought the spring was too hard. At one point I thought I fryed my lipo. Why won't my full charged 11.1 lipo push it...? Then I read about power draining a lot more with the ASCU installed. Now I'm thinking of putting the normal switch back in so my lipo would last longer. Anybody have this power problem in game.?

[Hightimes]

It can be many problems... Dame
