Hey all,

So, it's come time to do the next big step on my project ICS.

I went to switch the grip on my ICS M4 only to discover ANOTHER item which was never mentioned by the seller.

The motor has been swapped for a well used TM EG1000. Things could be worse, I know, but the problem is that the wires aren't even attached to the bottom of the motor.

Whatever genius did the swap had merely crammed the wires up against the motor so they would make contact...

Anyhow, long story short:

- All the wires in the gun are chewed to shit
- I want to replace them.
- I should find a way to reliably attach them to the bottom of the motor

What should I use? I guess it's gotta be thin, but still low resistance...

Anyone got any advice?

Also, on a related note:

- the motor fits VERY loosely inside the grip. The motor plate lines it up somewhat, but how concerned should I be about proper gear contact? It fires alright, but... I have no frame of reference.

Also, when I tried to put a standard M4 grip on, the motor wouldn't fit. At all.

any idea why?
