The gearbox looks like it could have potential. Seems almost like an ICS system. The barrel and hop up seems like it could be a problem true. Certainly wouldn't be in a rush to be an early adopter.

Some interesting looking replicas. Hope this means we get an APC 308 some day.

Not anytime soon. Although at least VFC has a history of making some replicas available in both GBBR and AEG form. So there may be hope in the future. On the other hand we have King Arms claiming they will re-release their FAL line. Although the last time I checked they were claiming to do be doing so in the coming years, which lead me to stop checking up on their offerings.

Fairly thorough video.

Going on admittedly fuzzy recollection, think the ASG basic line were fitted in the earlier Evo Scorpions. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the type of motor fitted to US spec Scorpion Aegs.

One way is the use of red loctite. Another is to try a snugger fitting pinion, for instance Siegetek make different sized ones e.g. https://www.brillarmory.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_55_68&products_id=526&zenid=d1e4d2828303acd2f294dff4d286d2e1

See that VFC have a railed cover to be released soon. Available to pre-order from WGC shop. Promising omen for more accessories. https://www.wgcshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/vfc-vf9-mws-lar-bk01

VFC Have their website for this replica operational. Interestingly the manual has the inner barrel at 360mm. https://www.vegaforce.com/LAR/index.html

Have used a 14:1 gearset with similar motor in the past with no ill effects. Another variable, is what type of battery are you using with your set up? A stick 7.4v lipo might run for a gearbox for an extended period of time while a beefy brick 11.1v could implode the thing.

Could try cleaning it again and try a different brand of BBs. Alternative might be to try cracking open the gearbox. Could be whoever put the gearbox together was overly generous with the application of grease or utilised the wrong type of lubricant.

Did you clean the ZCI barrel before installing it? Out of the box barrels can have a lot of gunk in it.

Reckon if these are good, G&G might just scrap their plans for one.

Just to say these have gone up for preorder at WGC shop, with the admittedly vague date of Summer 2022. Just the standard version at the moment. Still seems a closer step than KA have gotten with their re-release. https://www.wgcshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/vfc-lar-fal-standard-type-i-gbb-airsoft

On the one hand, fair play to VFC for trying something different. On the other, it's going to be annoying when it is released ahead of the FN FAL.

Seems like it's still some stage this year. From looking at their facebook account, it seems to be coming along. Their display piece is closer to a finished product. This is at one of the MOA shows.

Just a quick one to say these have gone up for preorder at WGC shop. Should be due next month according to their ETA. https://www.wgcshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/northeast-uzi-gbb-smg

Prometheus make a hop up chamber that is advertised as being Krytac compatible. Haven't used it myself but it's a fairly reputable brand. Whatever type you decide on, check if it includes all the components or if they are needed from the old unit. Particularly if the previous one is a complete write off.

Would certainly recommend the Warhead over the option no.1 motor. The option no.1 has very long motor tabs, can be quite terrifying to nearly sheer off the tabs installing it into an AK motor cage. While the warhead ones are delicate, as long as you take your time you should be okay. The efficiency of the warhead is nicer, recall some German YouTube channel doing a comparison. The option no. 1 was soundly beat by the Warhead. Recently installed a Base 27K into my Galil. Greatly increased the amount of shots I get from a 7.4v stick battery versus the Tienly motor was using in the past. In fairness to option no.1 they make a series of medium length motor offerings. Which is nice as the Sig 55X series users usually get overlooked. If you're using a ETU just be careful with settings, warhead should have recommended settings on their website.

Replace one of them with a 416 or a MCX. Start to slowly wean off the AR platform.

Was optimistic that we might see something at Shotshow or IWA but nada. At this stage we might see a VFC carl Gustav released before their FN FAL.

Bullseye Country sport in NI can be useful for bits and bobs.

That's unfortunate, alas seems to be an increasingly common thing these days.

Based on my last experience, packed the day after. Then the items were shipped four days later. So five days between order and dispatch. If that is any help to you.

Right, thanks for checking. The other thing is that you mentioned a brushless motor, are you following the suggestions given by Warhead as regards the settings for the mosfet? They are available at the following link: https://www.warheadindustries.com/suggested-mosfet-settings

Have you tried it with the AEG fully assembled? Have had some hiccups in the past with testing Titan equipped guns while only partially assembled. Something to do with the sensors.
