any ver. 2 gearbox will take upgrades.

[psyus]

i think it has most upgrades reinforced box poly carb piston etc most everything but bearings it has bushings if im not mistaken how hard is it to replace them with bearings

[JiNX]

I'm not sure what size the bushings are but Systema make 6mm bushings with bearings. If it's a 7mm gearbox them there is quite a few companys that make them.

Not that hard to replace but I would recommend a re-shim of the gearbox since they don't do that at the factory. It will make the gun sound better and make it run smoother.

[psyus]

here it is. JiNx if you could point me in the right direction i could prob do it myself, the re shim that is. as for the gearbox i havent opened it yet but i will whenever, if ever i get the time.

[JiNX]

That's a crazy RIS on that gun. Re-shimming is a pain because you have to shim each gear individualy and take apart the gearbox up to 10 times.
It's just to make sure the gears flow smoothly when you put the gearbox back together then you put in the battery and see how it sounds. If it sounds grindy(new word) then you have to take it apart and start from the beginning.

[psyus]

wow so if you hear it could you tell if it needed it or not or would you have to play with it to get that 'sound'

[JiNX]

guns are fine to play with it without shims but once shimming you can tell the difference. That way when firing the motor doesn't have any more resistance and the gearbox runs much easier. There is a general placement of shims and you can find the info online. A correct shim is taken slowly but yeah you can always tell a shimmed gun from a non shimmed gun.
If not that re-align your motor placement by turning the allen plug on the bottom of the grip. It sets the motor up or down and when you move it then fire, you can tell what the best position is for the motor. ]

You'll get some high whining when you go up too much then just go down till it sounds like you can't hear the motor, just the firing.

ok thx for the info maybe at the next team skirmish you can check it out im all about makin it run smoother i may also have some wiring issues up in the ris they wired it really weird there is like a foot of wires just up there and sometimes it cuts out or acts like its dead/dying if the ris moves at all since i tightened it up no probs though it could have been the shipping that loosened some stuff

since there is already a UTG post
i though i post me question on here
i found a UTG tac vest for like 42 bucks new
it is worth it? does UTG have quality stuff?

[JiNX]

the UTG vest are OK. That was the first vest I owned but then moved on to load bearing and then to the MOLLE vests. The UTG have a limit on where you can place things and what you can place there. The most common one has the holster which if you don't have a handgun then it's pointless.

MOLLE allows you to purchase pouches of your liking and place them where you desire on the MOLLE vest. A tad more expensive but highly effective.

check ebay for MOLLE vests and pouches. You can get them cheap there.

although i do lkie the over look of it
and i do have a handgun i love and probably wont be parting with
but i will check ebay as well
oh and jinx check your PM i messaged you back awhile ago
