G&G T418 MAX Not firing, no sound at all
I've disassembled the gun, and I cannot seem to find the fuse at all and I think it may be housed in the gearbox and I'm not sure I'm able to disassemble that on my own or if that is even the issue. It currently makes no noise with a fully charged working battery and all of the wiring leading up to it seems fine. I disconnected and reconnected the motor as well and nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

There won't be a fuse inside the mechbox. How old is the gun? Are you using the stock tamiya connectors or deans?

Stock connectors, it's about 7 months old if that, it's the GEN3 gearbox I'm fairly sure

That is the exact gun, I didn't purchase it from that site however. Just to show you. |

You've already checked the motor connectors, that would be step 1. I don't think the gun would be old enough to have burnt contacts. Make sure the prongs aren't being pulled out of the connector (push them back in, battery and gun) and then the next step would be trying a different battery.

I noticed that alot of the motor connectors are loose on them and they tend to pop off REALLY easily, I like to give them a lil squeeze so that they stay on better

I've tried three different battery's in it, all of which work for other guns. The motor connectors have been disconnected and reconnected multiple times and still nothing. I couldn't see any wear on the connectors either. What happened was the gun was making a sound like it was stuck in a cycle and I tried firing it and it only made a clicking sound kind of and a slight hum of the motor, then I tried the battery in a different gun and it fired and now there is no sound or clicking, absolutely nothing. I held down the trigger to try to complete the cycle when it was making that clicking noise so maybe I fried the fuse or something? I also think the gears may still be stuck but I would hear a noise at least wouldn't I?

if your fuse was fried you cannot make a "clicking sound" at all, are you sure that you are not disconnecting the motor connectors as you put the motor plate back on?
secondly are you sure the positve on the positive and the negative on the negative, sometimes motors just change polarities, it happened to me a few times |

The clicking noise was when I was trying to complete a cycle when the batteries I was using were very close to dying so it couldn't complete a full cycle and I kept charging the battery a little more to see if it would fire and complete a cycle, then I let the battery full charge and I went to try the gun again and no sound was heard this time. So I think I could have fried a fuse when trying to fire it when it wouldn't complete a full cycle due to almost dead batteries? Where is the fuse even?
