Parts match-up?

[shadow_matter]

Hey everyone,

I am running a Systema helical gear set and I am looking for a new half-tooth piston. My question is; are there any brands out there that have a reputation to not fit quite right with Systema parts? I have tried a madbull piston and it just doesn't seem to fit together as well as it should. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Systema makes the Half tooth piston specifically for the Helicals. Im using Helicals myself and my main problem is that my Guarder piston doesnt fit properly inside my progear. The Teeth seem to align properly and smoothly in my case. But i am replacing mine with the Systema Helical Piston.

Just because your gears are helical does NOT mean it requires a half-tooth piston.

The only Systema gear sets that require a half-tooth piston are the ultra torque up and infinity torque up gear sets - both of which happen to be available in the helical format only.

Again, the gear sets that require a half-tooth piston happen to be helical in design, but that does NOT mean all helical gears require a half-tooth piston.

Helical gears mean the teeth are slanted for different engagement angles. The teeth that engage the piston rack are still flat gears, not helical. The reason a half-tooth piston is required has NOTHING to do with the fact that the gear meshing teeth are helical.

Did not have ay problems with guarder piston in my progear gbox. Guarder blue and grayish piston.

Prom Double Torque Up. Still running strong
