I'm having a problem with a G&G M4.

Recently at the end of an 8 hour game my gun suddenly stopped firing when the trigger was pulled (both on semi and auto). I figured I'd change the battery...no change. I knocked it around a bit, checked the fuse all the connectors, everything seemed fine. After some time it started working again and then stopped.

So I brought it home, full battery same issue, it will fire of two or three maybe even 15 shots and then nothing pull the trigger and nothing happens.

So I took everything apart opened up the mechbox to see if any soldering was loose or the trigger assembley was damaged, couldn't see anything wrong.

I put it back together and the same issue. I realize that Tamiya connectors are notoriously bad and I'm changing to Deans, but I swaped out the Tamiya connector for a new one and the same thing is happening again. The motor connectors are fine and there are no nicks on any wires that would indicate a short.

Today I noticed the wires on the battery heating up after a few shots so I stopped.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong?? Perhaps the trigger connectors? (although I cleaned them of any debris)
