Is Removing the Fuse OK?
 

I just picked up a new CMYA M14 (CM.032) and the common issue of a small space for a larger battery is very true.

There is a massive amount of space being taken up by the stupid Fuse.. in the past on previous guns i have removed this fuse and added on Deans connectors to the stock wiring. I want to do the same here but thought i'd look into any issues removing the fuse may cause?

If i cut the fuse assembly out and simply add a deans connector to the wires id have much more space for a larger 9.6V battery

any issues?

I remove the fuse from almost all my guns. If you're not an idiot (keep the trigger pulled down when the gun isn't doing anything, which can melt your wires and internals depending on how long you depress the trigger for) the you'll be fine.

Yes..its fine.

agreed, i removed the fuse on most of my guns, and it seems my latest gun, an echo1 stag15 mfr12 seems to not have a fuse, at least if it does its in the body someplace cause its not in the buffer tube or stock. Like was stated if your gun seizes up or stops firing dont push it and u wont cause excesive heat build up or anything, and ill ad to that check your wires for wear regularly so u dont get a short and youll be good to go.

Yes, you can remove the fuse.
But there is PLENTY of space in the CYMA M14 to fit a 8.4v large battery with the fuse...

I'm looking to use some of the batteries i already have here. I have a few 9.6V nun-chuck type batteries and I've heard that you can get them in there with mods.

one last question.. this came with mini type tamyia connectors. I assume it's ok to replace with regular size Deans connectors? All my previous guns have been stock full size (large type) tamyia and have taken the deans just fine.

What nunck? Mini-type or crane-stock type?

Minis will fit without any mod.
Crane stock won't fit, there is just not enough place.

Full size Deans is just fine as long as they fit which I'm sure they do. It usually just simple to wire all your guns to one connector (i.e. deans) for charging and battery interchangeability anyway.

I would really like to try a 7.4V Lipo in this thing. I have a separate thread going for lipo issues...

would a small lipo like that destroy this stock CMYA gun? I keep hearing these new CMYA's are built pretty ruggedly..

NOTE: my plan for this gun is not to run full auto all that much.. but more of a DMR type roll. So in other words i won't be running it hot like my M4

7.4 should be fine.

I recommend to get a MOSFET with a built-in self-resetting fuse. Do that, and you've solved most of your electrical problems.

and they're not terribly expensive for a good one.. tirty dolla.

Dare giving me a part name for a mosfet like that?
Also, out of subject, no one ever replies to my PMs when I try to buy classified stuff :-(

In terms of MOSFETS, you can go two ways: 1) Build one yourself (If you have enough elecs experience and all the parts required), or 2) Buy one.

In terms of buying, I personally like the Gate GDS-4005; It's a basic FET, comes with all you need, and only costs around $20.

More Hi-tech is the Gate MERF 3.2, which is a designated AEG control unit. It's programmable, has arc control, handles high-voltage, high-drain situations extremely well, and is basically a FET god. However, it will run you around $70.

AWS makes some of the best MOSFETS out there, but they're pretty expensive for the good ones. Their RAPTOR FETS are basically the most widely accepted top-tier AEGCU, but they cost over $120 per unit.

Do some research, and I'm sure you'll find something to suit your needs. :)

I know about them, I was just curious about he one mentionned by lurkknight. 30$ for selfreset fuse seems good.
