Gently popped it by hand, easy enough fix
Pain in the ass tho
Definitely agree gen 9 for display only
War interest tracer mag will be the go I reckon
I think evey single one of those mags I ever had all popped the window out, but as you said, easy to snap back into place and a couple of dabs of glue is enough to keep them in their spot. 
Yeah⌠the mag that came with the ACR has a window thatâs been glued in janky. 
Triggering ny OCD so guess what Iâll be doing tomorrow? 
On the upside all of the Gen 8 P-mags I have fit and work fine in that ACR.
Yes I remember a mercy call of a new ACR loosing itâs window in the mag. Like they put it in and it rattled out in transport.
Couple dabs of super glue got that rocking again instead of spilling gel balls everywhere besides where they were meant to be. Bugger for that and factory fitted fault.
Revisited the MP9. I figured, why buy another one when I can modify this one and make the vert grip removable. With grip and stock on, MP9⌠off with them both and itâs a TP9. 
So, shell cleaned up flat, removed the handstop, fitted a neat little pic rail and a MOE grip and done and dusted.
Now I get to choose whether itâs a B&T TP9 or a MP9. Itâs all about the choice.

TP9 I choo choo choose you
The magic smoke came out of the new Vector today⌠dead 480 short axis motor.
Had a spanking new red Chi Hai 460 short sitting around doing zip so took a hacksaw to a Gen 8 motorcage and made up a rear spacer plate to take up the gap due to the shorter length.
Perfect fit, snappier trigger and higher rate of fire with that 30000rpm donk in it.

Was there someone after one of those weird M203 launchers that actually shoots more like a shotgun?
found them on iHobby if someone was looking for them
towards the bottom of the list they were.

Thank you kind sir.
That was me, I ordered one from a website in China I believe and they at first were communicating with me but have since stopped replying to me emails and I have nor received my m203 so I will definitely be looking into one of these now they are available locally
Still have to wait for the dispute resolution service through my purchase provider to refund for the one I didnât receive
Curious as to how long theyâve been available on thet because theyâve never shown up on my searches before however it was actually a Bing Feng M203 that I purchased from the Chinese vendor
I strongly do not recommend anyone purchase from this website eagleairsoftnhobby
Cheers heaps mate 
Bit of a long post, so Iâll apologise in advance.
I really like the look of a KV with the skeleteon stock.
Limited battery storage in the grip though⌠but classic KV lines. As @RokSolid suggested, running a buffer tube and stock solves that problem.
Itâs worth noting the buffer tube you get with the Defiance stock for these Vectors does screw into the Le Hui adaptor and does fit the stock⌠but itâs slightly smaller than a normal buffer tube, just enough to make a buffer lipo a too tight fit in it. The Defiance stock that comes with the kit doesnât fit a normal buffer tube either, too tight.
The buffer tube in the above pic is normal M4 sized and didnât screw into the adaptor, it required some imagination and epoxy to set it in there. But it does take normal lipos now. The bore of the stock needed opening up to get it to fit but a few hours with some sandpaper and a round stock sized mandrel sorted that out.
Found a square drill in my kit, made opening up the adaptor for wiring easier than using a round one.
My dilema is, if I commit to rewiring for the buffer tube it means I canât go back to the skeleton stock if desired⌠and I donât see the benefit of running the Defiance stock if I just keep the grip wiring to keep the interchangeabity.
Two options :
A DK extended battery cover like the one I had on my old Vector, which Iâm not a fan off. You lose those sexy Vector lines. But you can fit a larger battery into the grip with them.
A dummy PEQ15 with forward wiring⌠could be tricky with the tight space in the shell but wiring could be run above the gearbox, plenty of room there.
Pardon my ignorance of all things electronic, but is there an option to wire two small lipos in two different locations so Iâm doubling the battery life? Sort of nanchaku style? I imagine it would need some electronic voodoo to make the drain on both batteries consistent or one would be run dead flat?

I think you have the batteries wired together in sequence, but youâd need to make sure theyâre both the same capacity and charge.
Like this from memory
Itâs basically how each cell in a battery is wire too.
If you were to wire them both to the same plug in parallel it adds the tow voltages together.
You can chop out a few fins above the battery area to gain about 20mm of battery space, though does remove some of the reinforcement above the grip, but then your battery space goes up a good bit.
those battery extensions help, but not a lot. I also have pondered front wiring and running a peq box or the front handguard extension⌠there is plenty of options!
The defiance stock is quirky, and not very helpful for battery mounting! The metal buffer tube attachment is the best for rear battery, but I do agree the skeleton stock is the best looking

Yeah, my brainâs working overtime trying to come up with a forward wiring solution I can live with while keeping the look.
Came up with this⌠the battery holder / vert grip from my MP9 grafted onto an old Vector vert grip. In built access doorâs convenient but not still not big enough for a decent lipo.
Certainly no good for the Vector but may be handy for some other future Frankenblaster. Into the box of spares it goes.

Damn, doesnât indicate if theyâre in stock or not.
Dont x-force or tac edge sell them or some varient?
X-force and tac-edge have none in stock, tac-edge had non firing onesâŚ
These are the springers not the gas ones
@DChapo they definitely messed up, I have a an email saying order fulfilled, then I got the text saying they were out of stock and asked if I wanted the scar style launcher which I declined as it doesnât look overly nice, and the Ali express ones are a third of the price
I saw the scar ones there and I agree they donât look as nice.
Do you want it just for aesthetics or an actual functioning one?
The performance of those Bing Feng M203s is pretty ordinary, so hopefully itâs just for aesthetics.
Iâve got one hanging off a SCAR H MK17⌠sort of a tribute blaster to Sgt Foleyâs rifle in C.O.D MW2. But itâs non-functional, slideâs pinned back to make it look more accurate.

Mostly for aesthetics but it wouldnât hurt to work, the AliExpress one hits around 150fps so itâs not the worst, I mean at least it wasnât shattering the gels before leaving the barrel like the video x-force posted on theirs
