I am selling my gun and high torque motor seperately, but I heard that if you put the wires on wrong it will fry your gun. I can not figure out which wire goes on which side of the motor, there is a little plus sign looking thing next to one, which leads me to believe that that means postive. I want to be sure though as I do not want to fry my gun. If you know, please help me! Thanks!  |

Generally the red wire goes on the positive.

Hook up the wires while it's not in the gun, see which way it spins, then find out which way your gearbox won't spin. You may be able to do that without opening your gearbox. You can try looking into the hole the motor goes and see how the anti reversal catch engages.

Put the red wire on the + side, and black on the other. Install the plate, and give it a pull on semi auto. If it doesn't cycle(which It should) reverse and try again.
It won't instantly fry your gun, only if you decide that fixing the issue of it 'not firing' with extensive full auto, is when you might run into it blowing a fuse or other such.

Thank you guys for your help! I think I will take out my current motor and see which way it spins, then hook up the stock motor and see which way it spins, and if it spins the right way I will out it in. Thanks!

If you do have a fuse it will almost certainly blow if its wired backwards, but fuses are cheap and if you put the red wire on the positive side your good to go 99.9% of the time.

That's a really bad idea, although it will work.

For a very short test it should be OK. I've run my guns without fuses since my first AEG, like 10 years ago. Never would a fuse have helped me. I've only had one electrical problem and it was a short right at the battery.

That's a really bad idea, although it will work. No it's not. As X explained, a fuse is not necessary. It's basically a safety feature which limits performance. If you know a decent amount about AEGs, not using a fuse is perfectly fine. It only comes into play involving short circuits and misuse (such as attempting to fire the gun while it's locked up). |
