Hobby shop for r/c cars, planes, etc. They usually carry the electrical type parts and upgrades suitable for airsoft guns (except switches. You have to go to airsoft specific suppliers for that).

-what mechbox are you using
-what platform (body) are you using
-are you using the right parts for that platform, or are you just mixing and matching parts?

Ive heard speaker wire works too. I think it was the good stuff, but my local gun doc had a large battery running in his AK folding stock. (taped the battery between the folding ugly as sin but worked like a hotdam"

Saw it on a thread somewhere before, I think the author recommended 16AWG. Pretty neat site for all your electrical needs in airsoft.

I am using a TM V2 Mechbox that has most of the right parts, outside of that i've done pretty well with just mixing and matching parts.
I was trying toupgrade the wiring to incorporate for a better motor, when i screwd up the trigger assembly.
I treid to fix it mysef and now it's completely taken apart.

I was looking at airsoftretreat.com where i found an article about taking apart mechboxes(to try to fix it) which specificly warned me not to take apart the trigger assembly on a V2 mechbox.

Do you expect an answer when you dont even tell us WHAT GUN, from WHAT COMPANY you are talking about???

Greylocks · April 9th, 2006, 09:05

Yes, check the Retailers website and use their search engine.

Greylocks · April 9th, 2006, 09:07

Any decent electronics store. Check the Yellow Pages or whatever telephone directory in your area.

Greylocks · April 9th, 2006, 09:11

"most of the right parts"... What do you mean? You are doing guesswork? Be SPECIFIC.

You are admitting you did things (unclear) that screwed up the electrical side of the entire system. How do you want us to help exactly?

You went out of your depth, we're in another country, we cant help you. You need a local expert to look at it in person.

AirsoftTechGeek · April 9th, 2006, 09:15

Does anyone just have, or know were i can get a diagram or something that shows how to put a trigger assembly together/how it works. doesn't even have to be for the right mechbox, just so i can get an idea.

BloodSport · April 9th, 2006, 09:19

Just how many threads do you need on this topic? I'm locking your other one.

Greylocks · April 9th, 2006, 09:19

You took apart a brand new gun to build another one?

BloodSport · April 9th, 2006, 09:24

You only need 1 thread about your mess ups on building a gun.

Dirty Deeds · April 9th, 2006, 10:16

There is more than just the switch that can effect semi/auto fireing, you should just bring it to someone who knows what they are doing. Taking these guns apart are the easy part, putting them back together can sometimes be more difficult depending on how many perameters you change at once.

Pics of what you are talking about might help as well.

This might help you

BTW, why did you take apart a brand new gun? Not to mention, it's new and I'm sure not alot of people have seen the inside of one of these.

Greylocks · April 9th, 2006, 10:42

From what I read, you took apart a Super 9, a brand new MP7, and probably an M4 with no idea what you were doing. Are you mixing parts or asking us to fix really unwise mistakes for you?
Honestly, find a local expert and never touch the internals of an airsoft gun again.
There's NO way we can help you online.
