To those who have had gears breaking down, Easiahobby posted 2 days ago parts for the STAR FNC from ARES=replacment air nozzle, Gear and metal gear boxes.
Many people have had problems with this gear. My gun broke down, when we examined it, its obvious it is high carbon, low quality steel.
We sended alot of mails to Easia and ARES (because ares parts seemed simular).. And looks like they had results.
That's kinda the same logic as "But a 9mm slug can go right through my metal car door, so why would I want to use multi-layered kevlar, a cloth mesh, as body armor?"
The nice thing about polymers is their ability to absorb shock. While metal has higher tensile strength, it doesn't yield and is prone to be brittle while polymers have some degree of elasticity...

and one nother thing incase you didn't knew. In germany we are not allowed to have fully automatic ASG's with a powerd of over 0.5j with .20 bbs. So it KINDA tends to jam from time to time when using singleshot. you have a reset button though but I'd recommend using a 9.6V battery AND if you can afford it an high torque motor.
you are welcome. And btw : I was doing some research on tuning and updates and I found out that Version 3 Gears and pistonhead , piston and cylinder seem to fit. So I guess it's a modified V3 gearbox ?!
man that would be great, i could see inside the gearbox and locate problems without having to open it. It would be awsome just to watch the cycle for once haha. Instead of having a mental image of whats going on inside
Idk but its just me but I would rather have a Metal gearbox :/ but that still looks freaking cool dude :D!!!But I can see in some ways how it would have its advantages like you can see whats going wrong with your gearbox cause its clear :)

@dingbat667 How did you manage to crack the gearbox? I've shot thousand of shots with a M120 setup with a TM gearbox shell with no problems at all.

@egoleech they should make clear receivers for VCRA compliant guns out of this stuff!

well it depends on what gun you have some will be as cheap as 60$ but some can $450
also who made your gun?
OSU5312 2 years ago
It is the similar to bullet proof glass and will outlast your metal. This isn't a cheap gearbox you find in a $60 gun

It's a polymer that's stronger than metal. Most support gun GBs are plastic too.
