AEX told me to stick with 20 amp... i went to radio shack and bought 20 amp 32v... are these ok to use?

I use 9.6v 3600 and I never use those things. never had a gun crap.

sound like a short in the motor.........or too high a discharge rate, go to 20A, 250V ceramic fuses.....
Seek the Narrow Gate, for the path is broad and the gate is wide that leads to destruction.

Exact words from a employee at AEX Oakland, "F that fuse" I kept popping fuses with my SAW after my 2nd game at Ord. I just reconnected the wires, and never had a problem since , plus it shoots a little faster. Of course some smart butt know it all will warn that its going to burn something out. I don't know how many games and how many times I shot the saw with out the fuse, but I haven't had a problem since. So I say "F that fuse"!
I like to run with scissors in my hand.

well... i'm not sure i'm willing to loop out the fuse... what if i just up it though... say a 25 or 30?

Also, if you have opened up the gearbox at all, shimming....

Check to see if any neg & positive wires are touching or cross connecting. Other than that try kicking and cursing at it then bring it to AEX.

The first thing I do when I get a new AEG is "F that fuse".

Keep the fuse. The fact that the fuse is popping tells you something is wrong. I know from personal experience the hard way that a fuse is good for both your motor and battery. Take it to gamepod and have them look at it. Or just get a tm :lol:

You own a clone so AEX will not work on it. Secondly, a blown fuse means something is definitely wrong. 8.4v should not have that effect unless something else is wrong.

try puting in another 8.4v in and see if you keep popping fuses.
