New to airsoft, and I have no idea what you just did. But I came because I am curious on the L85 gun, and was just damn hooked on your video. I loved every second of it
Finally got round to putting a nano aab mosfet in my l86, followed your video although I must say it wasn’t my first and only watch of it lol, with no electrical experience I found it pretty easy and my god does it improve rof and trigger response. So happy just to add a new hop up rubber to your custom rotary hop up and she’s good to go. Never stop mate, your videos are by far my favourite content, or at least on par with aatv! It won’t be long until il be ordering a bayonet to make big slappy a shhhlong slappy lol
Thanks for your tutorial. I’ve just installed a Gate MOSFET in my own ICS L85 this evening (purchased yesterday) following your guidance. Much appreciated.
Very nice, I fitted a nanohard in my g&g l85 Afv alongside an internal tracer and after sticking the 11.1V 2600mAh cranestock I had the laying around the RIF is basically solid. Lol
I have just gotten round to watching this, great stuff as per Ben, might even contemplate sticking a mosfet in one of my 6 L85s as never attempted it lol
Oooh, a WARFET. I have a NanoAAB currently on mine. Might upgrade to a NanoHard or a WARFET (if I have the cash). Your placement is where I should've placed mine. I'll probably redo it once the new mosfet comes in. My mosfet is sticking into the handguard, and we all know how tight on space those A2 railed handguards are.
yep I didn't want to sacrifice battery space, hence the placement in the receiver! Unless you're looking to do something fancy like 3rd burst I'd say stick with the AAB :D
@@EnglishKiwi The only reason I am looking at the NanoHard and WARFET is for the battery protection. A couple batteries have inflated because of my L85
Hey kiwi, have you seen the VFC LAR (FN FAL) GBBR revealed by them last week? The long awaited first FAL GBBR! And looks insanely well detailed too, as we've come to expect with VFC GBBRs. Would be awesome if we saw these adapted to look like L1A1 SLRs. Would be even greater if VFC made a SLR version of their LAR too! (Also they showed off their Licensed HK PSG-1 GBBR which looks insane, definitely worth checking out too!)
I have indeed! As soon as they release them in the UK I'll be looking to pick one up! Unfortunately there's a lot of work need to get a FAL to look like an SLR, but a rough aproximation is doable, however I'm hoping they release a proper SLR at some point soon :D
warfet is a classy mosfet. all the basics and very reliable. Titan in V2//v3(I.E NOT L85) is too expensive unless you literally need every feature, which 99.9% of those who buy it dont
Nice video Ben! I'm going to brave it and hipe my A level in Systems and your video is enough install one on my L86 and not massacre it 😂 heres hoping haha. As your the SA80 guru for airsoft do you know of anywhere to put an A1 style trigger on the ICS?
What's the point of a MOSFET on the ICS L85 out of curiosity? It certainly doesn't need trigger contact protection and doesn't sound any sharper than mine with just a Dean's conversion?
I'd say the ICS SA80 is one of the only rifles that don't need a mosfet to be able to handle lipos. However that being said if you want any additional features, like burst fire or trigger lockouts for DMR purposes you'll only be able to get that through a mosfet. Also no matter how good the mechanical trigger they will eventually succumb to burnout, so if you have the time/money for a fet its worth doing.
Hi mate, I have this gun and when I shoot on semi the trigger sticks and I have to push it back into positing manually? Any idea what could be causing this?
Hey kiwi, Just stumbelt on youre channal I saw this vid an your vid on the e&l ak74n. Do you think its possible to run it with a 11 lipo An is it posible to instal mosfet? Great channel Tnx form the netherlands!
They can be a bit of a pain to track down decent mags for them! I personally am using the battleaxe polymer mags, I had to spend a few minutes sanding them down but they fit and feed wonderfully now :) if you check out my £5 mag video I show them and link to where I got mine from. Hope this helps 😀
@@EnglishKiwi just had a fettle with it. The motor wasn't the standard ICS motor just some black non discript thing. Just popped in a JG motor for now to help my mate out till he can save for a better motor and a MOSFET.
Mate I've just bought an ICS L85A2 and a Susat. The sight was wobbly and loose on the rail.somi had to use tape The sight is blurred The handguns isn't as cool as the one in this video
Have you picked it up yet? I've heard quite a few grumblings about issues with the first batch of the new Ares, inverted selectors, FPS and accuracy inconsistencies and some welds failing! Might be worth holding fire for a few months untill the second batch comes through and hopefully has those issues rectified 😀
@@EnglishKiwi I have ordered it, and been informed it is part of batch 2, so hopefully those issues have been ironed out. I think the main problem was people using 11.1's, although you can, doesn't work well with the downgraded spring. I plan to use 7.4v only ... i'll see how it goes!
@@EnglishKiwi just to add onto that, the issue with fps fluctuations was due to using 11.1. Because of the downgraded spring, the gear box would do a cycle and a half, thus the 'second' shot having considerably lower FPS.. just as an FYI!

Nice warfet is always a good choice!
Indeed! It's a very capable fet!

do it! do it! DO IT!!!!
Antex soldering iron. It's a classic for a reason.
Sure it's no where near as fancy as the ones I have at work, but it keeps on trucking!
Good little mosfet!
I do like the gate fets, decent price and decent performances. only had one die on me in about 5 years of use!
I hope Santa sees this and gets you wire strippers for Xmas.
I hope so too, so I can frame them and stick them on my wall 😋
Oh, man, you're going to hate me if ever we meet...

Great video! Been meaning to fit one on my LSW. Do you think it will take a 7.4 or 11.1 lipo with stock gears with the MOSFET fitted?
Cheers buddy! It should be more than happy to run on a 7.4v. my lsw munches pistons on 11.1s so I stick to 7.4s 😀
Awesome man, thanks!
I have a Gate x-asr. I also have an ICS L85A2...... what could possibly go wrong
Good luck!

The warfet has a great set of features and I love to setup interface, however for most people, a nano aab or asr is more than capable :)

unfortunately not :( you're going to have to get someone to design and make it for you.

Do you think its possible to run it with a 11 lipo
An is it posible to instal mosfet?
Great channel
Tnx form the netherlands!
Cheers buddy, it'll run on an 11.1 lipo, but I'd recommend putting a MOSFET in first though, otherwise you'll eat through trigger contacts :)
@@EnglishKiwi thank you sir,
Mosfat will be one of the upgrades but first im gonna use it
Hey I was wondering what midcaps you are using on your g&g L85? Mine's very picky on magazines
They can be a bit of a pain to track down decent mags for them! I personally am using the battleaxe polymer mags, I had to spend a few minutes sanding them down but they fit and feed wonderfully now :) if you check out my £5 mag video I show them and link to where I got mine from. Hope this helps 😀
Where did they get the front Rail covers (OD Green) from?
I got mine from fire support
@@EnglishKiwi thanks bro
Mate of mine has an ICS 85 using a 7.4 and it's real sluggish.. any idea what we should be looking for to get it running faster?
A high torque motor can help with cycle time. Also a reshim can help, if the gears are currently too tight that'll slow everything down a bit.
@@EnglishKiwi just had a fettle with it. The motor wasn't the standard ICS motor just some black non discript thing. Just popped in a JG motor for now to help my mate out till he can save for a better motor and a MOSFET.
The pain I felt when watching you disassemble 😂 don’t take it seriously I’m only having a joke
honestly been a while since I've worked on an ICS L85! Completely forgot the handguards are meant to slide off :P
Mate
I've just bought an ICS L85A2 and a Susat.
The sight was wobbly and loose on the rail.somi had to use tape
The sight is blurred
The handguns isn't as cool as the one in this video
What is a more reliable system- ICS OR G&G l85?
if you remove the blowback, I'd say the G&G. though that being said if they're both cared for they should both be fairly reliable :D
@@EnglishKiwi I decided to go for the ares l85a3! How easy is it to change the hop & barrel? any idea on barrel length? cheers mate.
Have you picked it up yet? I've heard quite a few grumblings about issues with the first batch of the new Ares, inverted selectors, FPS and accuracy inconsistencies and some welds failing!
