dragon red airsoft gen 3 MBITR:
first of all. looks amazing. feels amazing.
yeah feels great. super solid all aluminum which is rad.
switches and buttons all work and feel proper, not about to fall off or anything.
the battery compartment attachment is the really the only thing on it that i dislike a lot. its just a big bolt from the bottom. to stop from rotating it has opposite screws and holes that it kinda locks into. the radio to battery plug is kinda sus too. like they could have dont a different more flat style connection im sure. cheeped out with that. could see it getting loose after time.
the battery is a small stick lipo inside. i dont know why they went with something so small when they could have had something bigger. its only down the one side in the compartment. you could switch it easily if you felt the need.
they total just drilled some of these holes after anodizing so its just open metal and looks shitty. not a big deal we all know how to use a spray can.
also the bottom here is just two plates with different holes so the screw doesnt fall through but is more flush (not totally flush) and the plates arent even glued together. easy fix. not like those ever come off really but still. cheeped out not having it one piece with a machined hole
Im not exactly sure as to what this little toggle behind the middle dial is as i dont have another radio to test nor have i wired my msa ptt correctly since i changed it before but i think its to go from the radio speakers to the headset...? if anyone knows...
Im really really impressed with the rubber cover for the U-283. its great. just looks good to me. but as seen in this photo the speaker is just open for damage in the back (while handling you can easily put your finger in the hole) pretty retarded.
antenna is kinda weak in a few ways. its non functional (only have heard that), its not real dimensions so it looks retarded to me. the connectors aren't the same as on the real one...super weak. its also not in the correct spot. not stoked on any of this. but it comes with an extension cable like a MAST KIT to throw it on the back (which i did)
beside a toysoldier replica shell it is much shorter and much much skinnier. its just great. thales logos are proper. i think the mic hole is stupid. they could have done something different with that.
side view looks great. i like the details.
front also great except for you can see the lines from the cnc around the buttons and shit. not great in this pic but you can in real life:
the insides looked good. it was getting weird to continue taking it apart so i just stopped but stuff looked legit and solid from what i could see.
from what i can tell, it has more settings and functions then i'll ever know what to do with.
i have not had time to test it as i dont have a spare radio anymore. prob works fine.
thats all i got any questions just ask
