Airsoft School - Shimming (Lesson 10)

[Blackhawk9323]

this guy's doing cartoon network commercials apparently

[yoyager6567]

this guide is horrible...

[benp3331]

Ewww, you shim via spur. My IQ just dropped.

[haronasi]

There is a thing called motor adjustment, That's how you meet your pinion with the bevel. rookies...

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@haronasi Can't adjust it side-to-side. Rookie.

[gundamskull45]

i dont mean to hate but why shim when you can buy bearings my kwa i just got came stock with 9mm bearings just put bearings in your gun insted

[TitusRTeh1337Bassist]

@gundamskull45 that has nothing to do with what these are for. these are meant to adjust the location of the gears in relation to eachother, giving the best possible contact between gear teeth. Bearings are what said gears traverse on. Its funny actually, because of all the 2gx's ive had to open, not a single one had shims, and the spur and pinion gears were heavily worn because of it. Engineered to outperform my ass...

[RJHPAirsoft]

shim the bevel first or you will break your pinion

[InvokeZero]

Man people are dicks online... The original accepted concept of shimming was "Spur/Step gear first" but now its more well accepted that Bevel and Pinion shimming is the proper way to do it due to motor whine and pinion wear.

[Ryfisch2207]

i guess this video is good but can someone else make a video with more info and better shim guide??? this is fine but lacks a lot of info

[g3tr00t3d]

this guide is a fail...

[BobbyPlane6252]

awesome i might get an mp5 aeg soon

[Z0mbcc3r]

GET READ OF THE MUSIC!!!!

[MostEpicMango]

@Z0mbcc3r Read? The fuck?

[Z0mbcc3r]

@MostEpicMango whatever

[kalashnikob1]

@colsterplay no

[AirsoftWorrior315]

i dont know how to shim gears can anyone make a proper video on how to

[mcspicymuffins]

shimming 

[lolzorsPwnage]

dumb ass

[Thomas9606]

I hate shimming more than anything. this is why I have GBB only.

[000terminator]

shitting? ohhhh, shimming, got it.

[ooopppiikkk]

sounds like he needs to go to airsoft school again, dam the economy and there bad teachers

[skag187]

you really should start with the bevel gear

[TRNJAIRSOFT]

he is a dumb ass

[Cable810]

I whish They did this earlyer... Now I know that me JG G36 needs shimmed. After I took it apart and put it all back together some parts are not in the Gearbox.......

[Samuraimatt423]

It caught fire.....Now I am out one gearbox!

[SovereignCin3ma]

what the fuck is this music? is this 2g1c?

[DornAlien123]

DEEPFIRE V2 gearbox !

[Mrawwsum]

you make EVIKE look bad

[cccplt]

For the guys criticizing his shimming, PLEASE make a video on how to do it properly!!!

[555boblee]

this music makes me want to kill myself

[laffyta2]

THIS is why I completely switched to GBB's. All I have now is Gas Guns and handfuls of extra parts. easier to just split the gun open and replace the whole internals every 20-30 mags instead of this

[blacklightning98]

:D thnx

[mrpineconehead]

please teach me how to pull the trigger i don't know how.

[ajlowe9494]

Im sorry but this vid music is so damn annoying but still great video

[everythingairsoft1]

shim u need to shim, i like the 40 set of shim shim shim shim shim shimmming!!!!!!!!!! aaaahhhhh funny word when u say it as much as him

[DelawareAirsoft]

Get a better intro, and better music and maybe these videos wouldn't suck so bad.

[RunningHalo3andMW2]

EASOBDMF

[SC116149]

i can teach u how to use a COMB!!!!!

[TeoDucky]

@SC116149 this made me laugh my ass off

[thegeneral123]

Course you can also put grease into the mix, this will change the shimming, plus its good to put grease between each shim, this also changes the shimming. Its also important to have a little play or movement in the gears so they can adjust. I often see boxes far too lose, but most often far too tight as people are obsessive about play.

[LatinoLEGO2000]

TEACH US HOW TO PUT ON MOLLE! ._.

[csmybuttt]

@motoXairsoft But were you funny? No. Stop repeating jokes.

[DisguisedAirsofter]

You aren't shimming the bevel to the pinion... that is one of the most important interractions. That is where you should shim FIRST.

[fbi555ibf]

@DisguisedAirsofter Can you make a video of how to do that?

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@fbi555ibf

mikeandwendy74 already put up a video of it. "minigun gearbox shimming" or something to that effect.

[anikidwolfy]

@DisguisedAirsofter i love his shimming technique and works a shit load better than any other method.

anyone who reads this - find the tutorial and you will see why.

[Yams313]

@DisguisedAirsofter

I don't see how you could ever possibly shim your pinion gear to the bevel gear...

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@Yams313 I don't see how you could ever possibly hope to shim your gearbox properly if you can't figure it out?

[Yams313]

@DisguisedAirsofter

It doesn't make sense at all... You can't shim your pinion gear unless you adjust the motor height. And it all depends on gear brands too. For instance, my Turbo 3000 has a pinion that will only mesh properly with ICS gears and all the shimming in the world can't fix that.

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@Yams313 You can't shim your gears until you adjust the motor height, you can't adjust the motor height until you dissasemble the gun, you can't dissasemble the gun before you get out your tools, and you can't get out your tools until you crack open a can of ice cold bud light.

[MrBeaverwarrior]

@Yams313 hold the motor level with the GB place bevel in place make adjustment. Fuck thats tough

[Yams313]

@MrBeaverwarrior

That makes a little more sense... thank you.

[MrBeaverwarrior]

@Yams313 no problem thx for not trolling me back

[haronasi]

@DisguisedAirsofter That's why there is motor adjustment...

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@haronasi Motor adjustment is not axial, it is a linear adjustment towards the gear. Shim your bevel wrong either way and you are going to wear something out, break it, or just run noisily or inefficiently.

[haronasi]

@DisguisedAirsofter It's obious to get the bevel so that it doesn't have side-to-side movement and moves freely. I ment that the motor adjustment is to meet the pinion with the bevel. Bevels teeth are in an angle, so are Pinions'. Therefore when the pinion moves towards the gear it will eventually meet up with the teeth...

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@haronasi Eventually meet up eh? Eventually could mean that just the front half of the teeth meet and you've got poor power transfer, bad noise, and low ROF, or it could mean that you would need the front half of the pinion to pass through the center of the gear for the rear half to meet properly and have poor efficiency, major noise, and low ROF. You really don't get it, do you?

[haronasi]

@DisguisedAirsofter I do. I haven't ran to a situation like that, not even once. the tolerances are so tight that the odds of that happening are so small. I shim my gears as close as I can to the left shell of the GB, therefore the the pinion and the bevel teeth meet up quite nicely, this also aligns the piston teeth rack with the sector gear. It's just my method, but using this shimming method I havent ran into a problem of misaligning the bevel and the pinion.

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@haronasi Not sure what parts you are using that have that small of tolerances... the only way I've had this is with Siegetek gears in some of the slimmer gearboxes. (or you are using very soft gears/pinion (IE: systema/TM gears, TM/G&P pinion) that can deform to function properly like this)

[haronasi]

@DisguisedAirsofter Siegetek all the way pal, bought f2f from Riotsc himself. As a gearbox I tend to use a CA gearbox, with custom milled 7mm steel bushings.

[DisguisedAirsofter]

@haronasi That probably explains it then, lol.

[benp3331]

@DisguisedAirsofter Thank you....

[pwnmepl0x]

some says Hi to me? :S

[leakedboxman360]

@pwnmepl0x  hi

[TensionAirsoft]

yay the first airsoft school that is helpful to me!

[mario1286]

@TensionAirsoft It's funny how nearly every lesson I make has a new person saying this in the comments.

[SugarFreeTargets]

I hate shimming, it takes for ever! But it's all worth the effort and time you put in to it.

[norrisnail0808]

i love how all the smart asses aren't hating on this video yet even though most airsofters should know this already too.... evike u got a lot of posers hating on your other videos

[kalashnikob1]

Right when you said start with the spur gear I drop kicked a kitten and threw my laptop at the wall.

THIS IS WRONG.

[SHWELL11]

@kalashnikob1 There is no 100% ONLY 1 right way.... The right way is the way that works... Simple.

[kalashnikob1]

@SHWELL11 Right only one correct way to do it

[refard5]

@kalashnikob1 He he likes to START with the spur gear

[benp3331]

@kalashnikob1 lol I did the same thing!!

[church132]

gotta say...i've played for 2 1/2 years and i've never taken my gearbox apart. dont want to mess with something good

[VeonThief]

46 view o ya under 50th club anyway evike counts like so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 10

[mygamertag2010X]

I agree with Chargers

[Wolfsblut471]

3th ^^

[ElectricJellyDonut]

@Wolfsblut471 its 3rd not 3th

[TacOpsAirsoft]

@ElectricJellyDonut I think thats the joke

[chargers705]

I don't really know if noobies need to know this.

[TheAppman55]

first

[RedTornado279]

@TheAppman55 Epic fail.
