After all that time the battery was questionable, and still is, and I found the charger didn't want to charge it. Enter the 3S lipo from the Jeep. Works great. I'll get a couple larger capacity 3S lipos specifically for the M5 and I should be good to go.
So here's the box opening video and the video for the first function check. Everything works as the manufacturer intended, but their system leaves a lot to be desired so it's time for an IBU. Now to sweet-talk Jerry for a good deal. Can ya hear me, Jer? We luv ya, Buddy!!

I'll post more as I make progress, but the PII is still under construction so I need to get that done first. Then maybe we should up-gun the M5? I do have another paintball gun. Bwahahahaha
Yo, I think I have an IBU 2 or two lying around...ya got any spare 38 special brass?....or some 90 or 160 ohm 1/4 watt resistors?
