Can you please do a V3 Gearbox rewiring tutorial?

@CommieKid We will have several re-wiring tutorials available soon! Subscribe and stay tuned.

Do you need a soldering iron to rewire the gearbox?

[Mechbox6mm]

@gonghay Usually yes. There are some wiring kits out there with the wires directly soldered to the trigger contacts for you, and then you can just crimp on the mini Tamiya connectors and the motor connectors. If you will just be doing new runs of wire with an existing trigger, then you will need a soldering iron. They really aren't expensive and it's not too difficult to do. We will actually be producing a soldering tutorial soon!

He ends the video right before the trigger pops back out and the spring flies across the room, its such a pain in the ass

[flyingwondercat739]

why did he remove the cut-off lever and the selector plate? it looks like that was a pointless step...

Very Informative man..!!!

Thx so much!!!

@VolvoJoakim cause i can't see what is wrong.

[VolvoJoakim]

I have swapped the trigger-assembly, but it won't shoot in semi. Could it be that i have shimmed the gears too high for the cut-off lever to engage?

@Mechbox6mm That's great to know :D

@Mechbox6mm More ADS ;D, but I am not mad ad the ADS, so don't worry! I actually miss the days without video updates and I trust you guys about the gearboxes, Have a nice day!

@sosoishero AirsoftFix now owns Mechbox.com - without them, there wouldn't be any new how-to videos, reviews, or video courses coming out in January 2012! Even though we are now owned by a retailer, we will keep a 100% objective non-biased opinion when it comes to parts/gear/etc. The findings in our reviews will actually help determine which products AirsoftFix will carry (they will carry what we objectively found to be the best item, not the other way around.)
