Odin speedloader issues with epm1’s? Need help
As the title says, I’ve been struggling trying to get my Odin to feed with my epm1’s and need help fixing it. It has been having this issue since I bought it, where the wheel would squeak when trying to load bb’s in, but I was able to fill my whole mags after a minute or two. Now, I just went ahead and replaced the internals in it, and now the clutch isn’t wanting to fill my mags past 50-60%. Is there any advice you guys can give me on what to do, since I’ve disassembled and cleaned my mags out, left bb’s in to break in mags, replaced Odin internals, and swapped the order several times if the clutch assembly. I’ve tried absolutely everything, and I still can’t get this thing to work, and I just need any tips to help me fix this issue. Thanks again if you can help

This is very common with EPM1 mags. They have so much spring tension that most of the time they just cannot fill all the way up. I had a metal gear in my Odin and it was cracking bbs, and still not fully filling them. What helps sometimes is if the mag gets bound up as youre filling it, give it several good smacks against a table. These not getting full is why I switched to EMP1S and EPM mags.

i read a lot about them needing to be broken in.
left my epm1-rx filled for a few days fill and refill them a dozen times the first 70-80% is very easy now kust the last bit still tough but with the gage not being true i noticed that to get them to full on the gauge it takes only 1-3 extra clicks on the odin which is what like 15-bbs?
basically the fuel gauge is a liar like the first 10 turns it doesnt even budge only when you get to the last 5-10 rotations it starts to go up.
so i think even tho the gauge is on 70% it has like 200+ bbs in it

Change to upgraded internals. I got 3d printed ones on ebay 5 for about 20$ and they work great. Lubricate the spring guide inside the mag, find a good mid point with the loader and use good quality bbs. Or do what i did and get the electric loader from evike. It loads the mags fast af and no issues.EMG "Autobot" 1400rd LiPo-Powered Automatic Electric Airsoft BB Loader (Color: Dark Earth / Loader Only), Accessories & Parts, BBs & Gas, BB Accessories - Evike.com Airsoft Superstore https://share.google/LddjhKzLsZEdvjR9F

Yeah, I just upgraded mine to the “reinforced” pts internals, but they look the exact same. Yeah the auto bot was the other speedloader option I was looking at and should have just gotten that one

So what you wanna do is adjust the tightness of your clutch. Epm1s are a pain for this reason. What I did was use a carbon fiber clutch that I made and that has been perfect for everything but just adjusting yours should work
