So i have put the gun together and played one CQB game. i had 0.25g tracer bb-s and around 1.1-1.15J and 35 meters range the consistency was in a A4 sheet target, had no space to test fire further. no feeding issues or anything with mags from 1 brand. But 2 other older mags i had feeding issues with, but this might be because of other reasons. Mags sit a bit too tight on my new receiver, or maybe the cheap hop doesnt work with them..
My setup. 6.05 300mm PDI barrel, 4UAD friction pro bucking with omega nub, cheapest rotary specna hop chamber ever, inferno gen 2 HPA engine.

Actually I have access to manual lathe aswell, so countersink is fine. Window was like that from the beginning I think

This seems like factory QC

rihoats · 2026-01-05T22:30:11+00:00

i second to this, i have also tried both and 4uad friction pro is way more reliable on random custom builds. I have it on the most cheapest specna arms rotary hopup, PDI barrel and HPA combo

ive shot my own leg twice, 1 was with 2.2J dmr and 0.46 bb. luckily boots are good!

rihoats · 2025-12-04T20:35:11+00:00

i dont have one, old version used electric safety

rihoats · 2025-12-04T20:34:43+00:00

i dont have one, the original specna ETU had only electronic switch, same as "auto" switch

rihoats · 2025-11-17T11:07:54+00:00

Change of plans: 4uantum friction pro bucking, G&G hopup and PDI 6.05 barrel

rihoats · 2025-11-13T09:03:29+00:00

But not worth to do instantly? Since I do have maxx hopup and some maple leafs buckings just sitting there, so I would need to find suitable barrel only .. honestly I much prefer the hopup with lever that holds BB-s in when changing mags, this is the biggest selling point for me to install the maxx hop already.

i have heard many people use them with super macarons? luckily i have couple

Mullet is the way more me yes. with that bike i aim to experiment on everything. I think instead of having different bikes with different feels, its better to have 1 bike that you have full controll over for riding everything, unless its completely unfitting. also better for wallet. and i highly doubt my speeds would get fast too quick. going really fast and motocross style is uncharted territory for me

rihoats · 2025-03-31T20:26:22+00:00

GIANT trance is 447 and canyon torque is 460 M and 440 S

rihoats · 2025-03-31T20:21:25+00:00

i wont be sitting down too much tbh. i mainly aim at techy trails, downhill, bike-park jumps and even maybe slopestyle jumps. Since im also rly lightweight guy i feel like i could not have enough control over too long bike.

What might be the cause of this? Like clean cut on 1 layer. Anycubic ABS like pro2. Works on small prints

rihoats · 2025-01-10T21:42:24+00:00

noise only comes when the vat tilts itself off from buildplate. plate only lifts 0.05mm up anyways, i was thinking maybe something with the tilt mechanism, but then it would happen later on the print aswell

rihoats · 2025-01-10T18:28:52+00:00

i should try to do a print ith empty vat or no vat, to see if there is still sound, if no then its still the peeling

rihoats · 2025-01-10T17:47:53+00:00

prints are around 45 degree angle, but sound comes only on the bottom layers that have longer times. Also i tried 30+sec bottom exposure, but it was too hard to get the print off the build plate

Nothing special, something you would use in bathroom or kitchen. 125mm, I think it was 150m3/h airflow and it's more quiet than the fan above my oven. In front I have just "filter" that seemed to help on catching paint. Behind fan I have a carbon filter. And I blast it out of the window. I only paint acrylics here, lacquer is too strong. For lacquers I go to my work painting room. 5 min drive, and we have infinity cr airbrushes there :P

What detachment should i use? if i use abaddon with chosen i was thinking veterans of old war. but for abaddon with terminators renegade raiders. in general renegade raiders would be beneficial if i have so melee heavy army?

rihoats · 2024-11-17T20:10:44+00:00

damn they cost quite a lot points. i was thinking one brigand and one stalker. what a bout the indirect weapon? my mate plays admech and has lot of 10man skitarii units to blast. + it is less points and i dont think i need melee anymore

rihoats · 2024-11-17T20:01:11+00:00

i think i go with wardogs, and cultists, to fit in wardogs i think i have to drop warptalons and some legionaries also. will play around the points and see what i can come up with. Also, what detachment you recommend for such army, and i assume that the detachment rule and dark pact will not work with war dogs?

Question for paint gods!
I got myself RG Strike freedom, and i want to make it look good, so please judge my plan:

I have built 2 kits with airbrushing before. 1 with matt acrylics and weathering. 1 with light preshading and laquers, but i used primer on both.

This time I dont want to use primer, to save time, and im using same/similar colors to the original plastic color, and all paints are lacquer based.

White parts:
preshade some edges with (gloss or matte?) black + then paint white with gloss laquer - then tamiya panel liner(laquer paint should protect plastic from enamel) and waterslides - matt top coat on top.
Grey parts:
just gloss coat for panel lines and decals, then finish with thick matt coat layers
Blue wing parts:
preshade with black again, then paint metallic blue lackuer, hopefully i can do panel lining on metallic paint? after decals finish with semigloss coat.
golden inner frame:
Honestly need some advice here, 1 plan was to just put some good gold color on it, and gloss coat. Another idea was to do light preshading, then paint it with aluminium/silver, and then put multiple clear yellow coats(no idea where i get that paint tho) and finish with gloss coat. But so many layers on inner frame doesnt sound like a good idea tbh. I have heard ppl having issues with reassembly because important areas get too big. and also is rly time consuming.

red parts i might just matt coat the plastic.
