Hi,

Unfortunately, that didn't work in this case either. Simply replacing the stock motor with a neo magnet motor (no mosfet, same LIPO) actually resulted in the same issue. The only way it would not dry fire the first round was to leave everything stock. Changing the motor or just adding the mosfet consistently caused the same issue. Even trying a non-braking mosfet with the neo motor wouldn't solve it.

When I get around to opening the gearbox, I'll probably try adding a tappet plate delayer, replace the cutoff lever/eliminate the lateral play, and check the trigger assembly/spring as well.

For now though, the PicoAAB (braking mosfet) seems to eliminate the symptom at least.
