WTF? MODIFY modular gearsets?

[Skruface]

snagged from Arnie's:





Modular Gear Set.
Modify gear set is patented. A revolutionary Modular Structure design is to allowing the user to load the gears easy, speed and accuracy. You need not to adjust it with shims. It includes:
1) Modular Gear Set, 1set
2) Tempered Stainless Bushes w/ Double Oil Tank, 6pcs
3) Stainless Bushes, 6pcs (3 types available: 6mm, 6.1mm and 7mm )
4) Anti-reversal Latch, 1 pc

GB-03-33-2Ceramic Ball Bearing.
Ceramic balls are over 100% harder than steel balls. In a hybrid bearing, the extremely hard and smooth Ceramic Ball keeps raceways clear of contaminants by pushing them away from the contact patch. In addition, the ceramic ball remains extremely smooth, preventing ball to race damage. For the end user, this means reduced bearing wear and longer bearing life at high precision.

* Vickers Hardness 10 KG Load: Ceramic = 1550, Steel = 730
Benefits of Ceramic Ball Bearing Attributes:
Dissimilar Materials (Steel and silicon nitride)
Less Wear
Lower Operating Temperature
Higher Speed
Extended Bearing Life
Lower Friction
Stiffness
Lower Vibration

Damn! I want extremely hard and smooth Ceramic Balls!!

heh, what a great idea.. Just drop in a new gear set, pre-shimmed, no muss, no fuss. You want fries with that?

Yeah, it's been a life long dream of mine, too.

Seriously.. if anyone knows where I can get 'em, let me know..

Finally, can upgrade without the bullshit of shimming and lining up the gears/ect.

Fuckin A! Wonder how much this will cost.

[ILLusion]

Hmm... I wonder how user-serviceable that is, so that I can put my own choice of gears in... basically, all I want is that shell.

[DarkAngel]

No really... i have 3 V2 gearboxes that could REALLY use that XD

Assuming i can put my Systema Helicals in there. Would be nice to be able to switch from high speed to normal, then torque up etc

Read some of the comments on Arnies. Will wait and see if it works.

Ceramic balls are over 100% harder than steel balls.

Damn I just had to use that in my sig



Jokes aside, I wonder how well that fits into mechboxes. Unless the gears are slightly slimmer (thereby not compatible with other gearsets), the total thickness of that bracket looks wider than any amount of shims I've ever used.

I recived an e-mail from them stating there going to be dealing with you airsoftparts.ca I was hoping you could help me with a question would this work in a 7mm gear box? and if so could i order one from you?

thanks again

[ILLusion]

From the review I read, it comes with shims to fit the cage in to a 7mm gearbox as well as 6mm.

[Jugglez]

There are 6 different gearset applications:

High Toque Modular Gear Sets (Ratio 21.6:1)

# GB-09-11　　Modular Gear Set for Marui Ver.2/3 Gearbox
# GB-09-12　　Modular Gear Set for 6mm Ver.2/Ver.3 Reinforced Gearbox
# GB-09-13　　Modular Gear Set for 7mm Ver.2/Ver.3 Reinforced Gearbox

High Speed Modular Gear Sets (Ratio 16.32:1:1)
# GB-09-14　　Modular Gear Set for Marui Ver.2/Ver.3 Gearbox
# GB-09-15　　Modular Gear Set for 6mm Ver.2/Ver.3 Reinforced Gearbox
# GB-09-16　　Modular Gear Set for 7mm Ver.2/Ver.3 Reinforced Gearbox

Each package comes with one set of bushes for fitting the cage into the gearbox shell. The bush sets are available separately if you decide to change your geabox shell from 6mm to 7mm or vice versa.

I have limited units of each on the way, ETA is 2 weeks if you'd like to reserve one PM me or email sales@airsoftparts.ca .. if they become popular I will carry them in my regular inventory.
