VFC Scar-L Gearbox Lockup

That's what an AR latch does.

What battery are you using?

Was it locking up in full auto or in semi?

Well, this is going to sound totally noobish.

So, the Scar is wired to XT60 plugs, I don't have any XT60 batteries, but I do have an XT60 to Tamiya adapter, which I've been using to connect the battery.

Turns out the adapter is wired in reverse so the motor has been trying to pull in reverse....

Thanks for those who chimed in with advice. At least now I have a nice collection of images of my gearbox...

:banghead:

edit: as a side note, how important is it that I keep the fuse? It's absolutely massive relative to the size of the hole it's fitting into.

I ditched the fuse on mine. As long as you don't weld your trigger finger down in full auto it's not an issue.
