Nice gun, I'm going to get a SRC G36K too.

I plan to put in it

Edgi 6.01mm barrel
Element or madbull H nub
Eventually, a Guarder SP120 FTK. (I'll most likely keep the stock spring, to keep me at or under 400 fps)
I might eventually re-wire to deans, but right now, it's not convenient.

Do you like the reflex sight? (I'm considering getting one)

Also, is it hard to install a Mosfet?


thanks

Yes, so far it has been the best red dot sight i have ever used before (much better than the leapers rds and etc). The reticle is plenty bright, and the adjustments stay where they are set pretty well. The only thing is that there is a tiny bit of ghosting/glare, but that is about it.

MOSFETS are quite simple if there is plenty of room, and if you know basic soldering/gearbox skills.

How is the battery life? It takes those "giant watch" batteries right? (IDK what they are called lol)

I'm okay with a soldering iron. Do you need to open up the gearbox? (doesn't really mater, I plan on upgrading it anyway) The wiring on my E1 G36C is on the outside of the gearbox. If I keep the wiring to the front, do you think there will be enough room? I don't plan on getting a battery stock anytime soon. I personally like the look of the Skeleton stock better.

also, do you have a guide for switching to mosfets and deans?

thanks for the help

Battery life? Dang, these batteries last almost forever if you don't accidentally leave it on when you are not using it. And yeah, they take the large, flat lithium CR3023 batteries.

Well, I guess you CAN solder mosfets from the outside of a V3, but it will be pretty tricky. It is much easier to open the gearbox shell, and just work with the trigger box. There should be enough room if you get one of the small mosfets. It will be cramped, but I am pretty sure it will fit.

Deans: Just watch some instructional videos like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZU9rtACdZY
(Tip: Make sure you cut your wires ONE AT A TIME on your battery, or else you will short circuit it and blow it up like OvermedicateD. lol)

Mosfets: Just desolder one of the wires attached to the trigger contact, and solder it directly on the other. Then take the blue gate wire and solder it to the now empty trigger contact. The other end of the mosfet should have a red and a black wire. those lead to the battery. If you need more help, read the diagram that may or may not come with your mosfet unit, or you can just look on the internet.

okay thanks man

do you think switching to deans is worth it? (I would need to solder on deans to a smart charger, 2 guns, and 2 batteries )

I only plan to run a 9.6v, do you think a Mosfet is worth it? Do you have a type that you recommend? I know it increases trigger response and slightly ups the rof, (1-2 rps I believe) but it is somewhat of a hassle.

thanks for all the help

I'm not terrible with a solder, but I'm not amazing with one either. I'm getting the hang of it though.

I'll probably eventually swap the tamiyas for deans. As far as the ROF bump with the Mosfet, that really doesn't matter, I'm more concerned with reliability. I can always get this if they burn out.

Thanks for the help.

So do you like the externals on the G36K? Some people have suggested I get a STAR since you can get them for like 240, but I feel a little cautious about them. The quick spring change feature sure is nice though.

Good point. They do seem confusing, but maybe when I am in the process of installing one, it might be easier. If I get the Guarder FTK, I will definitely get a mosfet and deans. (might as well since I'm going to be taking down everything anyway) Do you have any experience on the Guarder SP120 FTKs or Guarder FTKs in general?

Yeah, I'm set on the SRC. This one dude on ASF/ASR is always saying how STARs have great internals and externals. They don't seem so hot to me. (as far as the internals go ha ha) Overall, the SRC has nicer features such as two high caps (I plan to use STAR midcaps, but still nice) metal hop up unit, and rails on the foregrip.

Thanks for the help. Feels kinda funny how I'm asking advice from a new member. (Something about the whole "I have more posts than you thing" lol) My 700+ posts makes me feel like a noob when I'm talking to you ha ha

ha ha yeah

I didn't know that about the SRC. I guess I'll get a systema bucking and a prometheus bucking since systema buckings are usually smaller. (that way if one doesn't work, I have an extra) I can always swap out the metal hop up unit for my E1 and swap magwells......... (I doubt the E1 hop up is as good though ha ha)

thanks and I think I faintly remember you. just faintly though lol
