    1. Motors too tight
    2. Wires are 'earthing' on the body somewhere.
    3. Wires are crossed somewhere
    4. Gearbox is locked up

    fuses blowing generally means stop.

    Check all as per TNTQ's suggestions.

    In addition, I used to own a KWA M4 which was doing the exact same thing. Tried everything - changed piston, adjusted motor, changed wiring (suspected short/grounding somewhere) etc etc...

    It ended up being the motor was just fcuked and it had less than 5K rds through it. Try a different motor and see if it's the culprit.

    well 2 be honest, went up to a 25 amp fuse and it hasn't blown so far so hopefully just needed to do. touch wood!

    Be careful using a higher fuse as although that might not blow you could be destroying the rest of the gun.
    Fuses are there to protect the rest from getting damaged so if you change to a higher one make sure the gun can handle it.

    Cool, double checked with M.I.A and they said that the 7.4 lipo on my gun 20-25amp is perfect! Tanks anyway! :pac:

    Sweet, was just concerned incase you damaged your gun.
    Where'd you get the lipo? compenant shop seem to be out of stock of all the ones I want.

    That's exactly where i got it! €22 for 7.4 1100mAh and charger without the plug, should have bought the plug, its only about 2 or 3 quid extra! My DC multi plug only had 300mAh output and the lipo charger blew the feck out of it! So ended out forking another €19 for a 1200mAh Dc multi plug! Ah well. at least i'm shooting and its class! Loving this gun :D
