After much tinkering, found the problem. It seems as if the (I'm guessing and the best way to describe it) "Contact Sled" or switch keeps getting stuck in the up position when the gear that engages the piston's cam hits the lever\cutoff that is engaged while in semi. Therefor cutting off my power. I've since then lurked the forums and found another thread that (most of you guys) had posted in. I prefer to learn on my own, and read to solve my problems as compared to whining. Now, I had heard one of you saying that you shaved a tad off the contact sled? My trigger is a "Speed" style trigger. I have shaved it down as not to interfere with any of the mechbox's internals so I'm almost certain it is not the problem. Where do I go from here? I've got 8 days until the event.
Now as for motors. The only thing available around my part (Tennessee) is a Echo 1 Max Torque for around $40 bucks. Is it any good? I'm not looking for a god like build, just up to 23-25rps and not over 350-360 fps. Is that motor better? I run a 7.4v lipo....
Again thanks for your help and I'm here to learn and listen.....
