That makes sense.
I might pick up a 28TPA motor for mine. Should run quite a bit cooler and more efficiently than the stock motor.

Just tested my DE, it's now at 15 rps on my 11.1v Titan Li-Ion 16C.
And it's the same 15 rps on my Crazepony 11.1v Li-Po 30C
More damnable lies from broken chrono, obviously!
But it's lost 1.5rps since I tested my DE shortly after I got it. Unsure if it's the gearbox gumming up, or the motor losing its oomph, or indeed both batteries no longer outputting as much current.
Ah, the original test may have been on the stock spring, rather than the ASG M105 that's in there now.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with that. Either the 22 or the 28 TPA can then find it's way to my shopping basket

We can compare and contrast poorly birds and shifty chronos next Sunday... Will be coming up to SO with the boy and possibly a buddy in need of pew pew therapy.
I'm not convinced my DE is squirting straightly.

Excellent, looking forward to seeing you again Dan 
It's Monday though (the 29th). I hope that's what you meant!
Have you checked the hop rubber is all in one piece and the hop is being applied properly?

Sunday 4th we're coming up... SWMBO is leaving the country for good on Tuesday and i won't be seeing her until Christmas - might have an svu inserted somewhere uncomfortable if I came pewing on her last weekend ??????
Might take a bit of tech time though.

We'd need to know the Ah to work out A = Ah x C.
THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER.

Alright Spock, cool your jets ?
3000 for the Titan
1400 for the Crazypony
The Titan site says the 16C is equivalent to 30C on a 1400 Li-po, and the RoF did seem to bear that out.
However I'll declare I've no skin in this game. I wouldn't buy another Titan because I had trouble with a couple dying irreparably after leaving them in the gun overnight, after draining them close to empty during the day. But the Titan I've got now has been fine so I continue to use it. And the company deserve props because they did replace them, as per their guarantee.
Can anyone recommend a suitable Abbey lubricant, just in case?

@RostokMcSpoonsWas that in one of your Double Eagles? If yes one thing I find really bad with the Falcon controller is its battery management, and I asked DE about this and got a reply, and if left connected the Falcon does drain batteries substantially more than the big name controllers and will take each cell down below 3 volts (where you enter the zone of killing cells / no return). I left a Li-Po in one of my DE's ages ago and it totally killed it, nicely puffed up, and I've been ultra careful at the end of the day since then.
A GATE Titan in another of my AEG's can have a battery left in it for days and drain almost nothing.

Yup that's exactly it. I am super paranoid to remove the battery as soon as the skirmish ends to ensure I don't kill another.

Can't expect much from a gun already punching above it's price class. I think it's pretty admirable that they got an optical ETU functional and in production for the cost they released at, when the likes of G&G, Evolution, Cyma et al are still using microswitch-actuated ETUs.
Don't get me wrong - cost compromises have been made in some places - the bushings on my M904G are very roughly finished and the GB is a touch 'wide' (I had to use nearly 40x 0.1mm shims to stop the gears rattling like maracas) but I think they've done a decent enough job all round.

It's crazy to think you could pick up a 904 for around £120, in the (g)olden days.
They're still brilliant value given everything is so much more expensive (and it's all relative, innit)

I still kick myself for not picking one up when they first released on TG for £114.
Luckily, the (as new) one I bought a few weeks was part of airsoft retirement kit bundle, so once I offloaded the stuff I didn't want it cost me less than £100. Quite please with that.

Wow, that's quite the bargain!
I've picked up some nice guns from Action Hobbies' boneyard for around the same level... if a DE popped up at the same price I'd have a hard time resisting buying it "just in case", but it's silly really, my 906 being my most reliable gun why would I actually need a second?
Back to the topic, I guess Fatboy's post makes it clear that the problem with the Titans was definitely down to the rifle, I might buy another of their batteries again after all.

I ask myself that when I look at the stack of ICS M4s I've got. I enjoy working on them - and built one from literally spare parts - but do I need 5? Of course not. But it's good to have spares, right? ?

Go sit on the corner and think about what you posted?. If x is the number of guns you need and y is the number of guns you have then we all know x=y+1

In mitigation, I am currently considering which quite, or even hugely, expensive gas blowback rifle to buy... I'm still looking for the +1 ?. Buying another DE would just be a distraction from choosing from one of these...
TM AKX
VFC FAL
VFC HK53
VFC SIG Rattler
VFC or TM MP7
(I think I'll have to start a separate thread on good options for my next GBBR)
