Two fer one deal…!!
Busy few days recently…!
Reviews building up.!
This is a quick double take, on the LeHui MCX, and the E&C compact.
Having said that, Brad has already done a video review, so if you’ve seen that, this is old news.
Im pretty knackered so just a brief touch on the LH for now…
Doh.!
I just realised… i need to take more pictures.!
this is it, so far…
Super short version…good value for $200.
Build quality is typical LH nylon, fairly sturdy.
Front fish cage is a little flexy…but sits in place well.
Battery plug is visible, and could do with some painting.
Performance was from ihobby blues…circa 280 fps, and good accuracy / spread at that FPS.
Mag prime works, stock extends / retracts well.
It does double feed on semi, though, and can have a slight overrun on full auto.
What causes that, and what is the fix.??
All in all , typical nylon, nice and light, it gives off terminator police station vibes…
For this level, a spring / oring upgrade would be about it,
I’ll pull it apart later ( simple is more my level) , and try a M95.
Its good good accuracy, so i dont want to bump the fps up too much…
They look nice!!!
Hmmm…
for those technically inclined amongst us, and with LeHui experience…
This thing jams a bit.
I suspect it’s linked to the double feeding / overrun…it can jam on full auto (or semi).
Take the mag out, dry fire it to clear, sometimes a gel is retained in the t piece bouncing around. Knock it out, and it feeds again.
Is this normal , for LH.? Ive tried 2 different types of gel, and the same result.
Does it prefer smaller gels, and the odd larger one jams it.?
Do other LH’s do this.?
I could return it to ihobby on the double feed, im going down the coast soon to get my tax done…
I wont touch it, while its under warranty…
i reckon double feed / frequent jams is good cause for a return/swap over…
Hallelujah!! The penny’s finally dropped! 
Usually you’re chasing 330+FPS 
Are you running an 11.1v or 7.4v lipo in it?
Might not be the source of the problem, but some blasters will double feed on the higher voltage and play nice on the lower. 
You could always try the old detent in the t piece trick. Running a drill up the feedtube part of the t piece to create a detent hole in the breech often stops the loaded gel from occupying space in the t piece that allows multiple chambering of gels.
Yeah…11v XT30. As supplied.
I’ll try a 7v…
Worth a shot…thanks.!
Yep I remember reading that somewhere, 7.4v is your go to beemer. Easy to try anyway.
Cheers for the pics, lucky you. Kinda like that platform 
thats this months rent gone.!!
Revenge spend…after handing over more $$ to the ATO…quarterly payments…
You’d know all about that…!!
After handing all the bucks over to the ATO, for absolutely nothing…whats a bit more.?.?
More comprehensive review in the next couple of days…when i have some spare time…plus gustav.!
Oh yea, I had another headset flat operator on the line this morning. I was not happy jan. 5m job took 3hrs to sort out after they realised they fkd up. Lucky I’m switched on and caught it and pulled them up on it.
Now a friend has arrived and I think I’ll have a couple beers with him and unwind. Spooling down.
Revenge spend…
You’ve given the ATO moar bucks in GST… you’re blaster expenditure alone’s funding their Christmas break up party.
But…if i paid with cash…
there is a fair chance the retailer’s practises will ensure the ATO never knows about it…!!
Their call, not mine…but still…revenge…!!
I still laugh at taccies owner doing a overseas runner, owing the ATO $800 000.00 in unpaid taxes…
He’s never coming into the country again…!!
looks like the battery change worked…
Soldering this morning, changed terminals to XT30 on a 7.4v batt.
It now feeds semi properly as single shots, and feeds full auto much better.
Still occasional jams…but far less frequent.
Bit more testing required.
On 7.4v it seems to be 260-270 fps, around 550-600 R/min.
Spring and oring upgrade should do it…aiming for around 300 fps…
Looks like everything cycles a bit too fast on 11v, and the gearbox struggles to keep up. Slower rate handles it better.
Interesting that ihobby package this with a 11v, if it causes those issues…
I got an LDT MCX this week. Very nice unit, but would want to be for the RRP price!
And no… I didn’t pay that, got it second hand in good condition with a spare mag, external battery pouch thingy, sig Romeo sight and bifrost tracer thingy. Oh and a folding buffer tube adaptor.
It’s also the ldx advance 2.0 with mosfet and tappetless version.
Still wasn’t cheap but less than a third the price off all that new, and everything is decent condition and working. Glad I snapped it up.
It’s very nice. Shoots and average of 290fps, and sounds well shimmed. I will not be using it, purely a collection thing but it is good it works.
Glad to get hold of one, even if I’ll not ever use it it’s a fantastic addition to the collection.
MCX does look cool… but the bad kind of ugly imo. Just not my favourite lol.
It does feel awesome in use though so a function over form thing I guess.
Bingo, see I do know some things after all
Good cheap test to start. Cause, Correction, Confirm, 9" angle grinder
I’ll get onto the review shortly.
In the meantime…first step was do something about all these visible wires.
All the different colours, looks unsightly.
So, time to go blackout, on the wires and battery…
I call this colour … " squid ink black"
I’m sure it will turn purple, on friendly’s back deck…!
Looks much better finished.
Almost invisible.
I’ll do the same on the smaller Rattler as well…
Looks much tidier.
I know Rok reckons it sorta bad ugly…
but to me , it gives off terminator AR-18 vibes, from the police station scene…
Shorter i know, but…
Yep, that’s an ugly blaster alright. Normally I like ugly…
… not so much in this case.
BTW, if that black paint flakes off from heat you could always visit Jaycar and get some black heatshrink to go over that battery. Might hang in there though, you never know.
It sits quite snugly…im sure it;ll last awhile.
easy to touch up, too…
the XT-30 connecting wires were tiny and short, too small for heatshrink.
So i had to use black electrical tape… at least its easy to keep an eye on…
I reckon its good ugly…growing on me…
Feels nice in the hand to, … nice’n’light…
And, has a metallic after ring, courtesy of the metal flash hider…
What does it weigh? I’ve never set paws on one. Front handguard looks like a cheese grater and overkill but as much as it looks good to me I’d likely not like all that overkill methinks.
Nice job on the blacked out wiring, looks much better.
