ok, so i totally f-ed up on my soldering. and i couldn't figure out why my AEG would not fire and why the batteries wouldn't charge.
well it seems i soldered the wires in the wrong place. so i just switched them and now everything works.
also i picked up some new bucking and a nice MADBULL (love madbull) 6.03mm tbb (229mm long)
so now my AEG is operating at peak performance with what i have.
i can't wait to use it on sunday
