    Hi folks
    I was taking the gun apart and made a ball's up somewhere along the way.basically as soon as the battery goes in the motor goes whether it's on safe or not and without trigger pull.
    I can't see any bad wires .anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    Was there any particular reason why you opened it up??. All points to your trigger assembly, could been you have forgotten to attach the trigger contact spring or somehow your two wires going to your assembly are bridging!!

    Ammmm thats defo a new one to me.......only way your guna find out is to open the gearbox up youself or take it to a dealer for repair, or depending on your location someone here might be able to help.

    Is the rifle front or rear wired? If it's the G&G Gr15 (I.e Raider) you're talking about it should have come apart really easily. It definitely shouldn't have caused the battery issue anyways.

    Its a raider L.Something had got caught around the top of the gearbox and the upper and took a bit of persuasion to come off.I dunno did it jam the trigger on or mess up the contacts?

    This is what the trigger is composed of. The part on the right is pushed into the part on the left when the trigger is closed. Once these contacts are touched off each other you have a closed circuit and the motor will spin on connection of the battery.
    If you definitely don't have these touching, then there is a short circuit of some type. Given you mentioned you had to give it a good pull, its possible that the gearbox shell is now part of the short. You need to make sure that the solder blobs are not touching the gearbox shell.
