friend is in the process of making one using this guide
Agreed.

I have a new DBOYS metal body on my MGS4: M4 Custom project and it's tighter than a __(insert something really tight here)__.

I'm just waiting on a motor and front sight, and mine is all done.

Woohoo!


Oh, and it should be said, that building from scratch is definitely the way to go. I tried using a JG (Echo1) M4 S-System as a base and had nothing but troubles. Ended up scrapping the idea and building from scratch.


I put a DBOYS complete mechbox in the gun to test the mechbox out. I'll see how well it works once the motor comes in. And whether or not it can stand up to the 11.1V 1200 3-cell LiPo.

One last thing - I used G&P Tan Pistol Grip and Stock. I was thinking about OD or Dark Earth, but logic struck. Snake found the gun in a desert mission - so it's likely not OD. Finding Dark Earth components that look exactly like stock M4 parts is pretty tough - so I went with Tan.
