Hey guys, sorry if this goes on a bit but I'm going to try and give as much details as possible.
so I'm in need of some advice.
I have recently started upgrading an ics m4, I'm using a merf 3.2 wired in advanced mode with an nano-tech 11.1V 1200 mah stick battery. Stock 18:1 gears ( shimmed twice just to be sure so I'm pretty sure that's not it) and an ics turbo 3000 motor which I am going to upgrade to a lonex A1 within a few weeks. All of the upgrade parts were purchased new from airsoftstore.ca
The problem is that the motor and battery are getting warm after only 10-15 trigger pulls. The upper gearbox isn't even in play so it's not like it's struggling to pull the spring or anything. Now I know motors can get warm with an AB MOSFET but I'm pretty sure a lipo warming up is bad news all over. After enough pulls it stops working which I assume is the fuse being tripped. I have checked the resistance of the wiring and all seems well. The only resistance I find In The whole system the from one end of the merf to the other but only on one side ( positive I think).
That's all the prudent info I can think of, any and all help would be appreciated.
