Plugged a large tamiya into a small tamiya...

[Redeon]

So i mistakenly without thinking plugged a large tamiya battery into my small tamiya on my aeg and pulled the trigger a couple of times. Smells like burnt plastic, and the fuse popped. Do you think I may have done any damage to the motor or do you think i'll be okay? Kind of worried...

Just blew a fuse most likely....

The large/small tamiya's have different polarity

On I think small tamiya the red wire is a round plug connector and the black is square

On large tamiya it's ar$e about face, red wire is square and black wire is round connector...

Or something like that, some converters especially off fleabay don't swap the polarity correctly

So you need to unpick the adapters and swap them over

What it sounds like to me, you got it wired up in reverse polarity but the AR latch stopped gun cycling in reverse but this locking warmed the wires & blew the fuse

Sort it out on polarity and fund should be ok if all goes ok

Yeah I think I'll just re-wire the small tamiya. Just hope I didn't burn out the motor... something definitely smelled like burning back there

As SD said....sounds like you "crossed the streams" and as Egon noted "It would be bad."

rewire the whole lot to Deans, no one uses Tamiya anymore!
