Hey ray... try doing some searches on Youtube.... I recall seeing some people who changed all the servos to metal geared ones as well as the board ...careful taking that baby apart though .. I've heard it's tricky when it comes to that gun pack...make sure you don't break any of the barrels ...though I think I could probably get them to work.. I've heard they can't be repaired

Good Luck my friend

Running stock, the M-16 battery life is poor. Sounds like your describing weak batteries. Did you remove the old batteries and install fresh new batteries before determining your M-16 is dead?
