I was surprised as well when I opened it and noticed. Their is no noticeable wear anywhere on any of the other gears and the shimming/motor height was pretty decent. I will be giving it a full reshim following the pinion the bevel method when I put it back together. The piston looks good as well with no wear, just the release tooth on the sector gear has worn down and now mimics the contour of the last tooth on the piston as obviously that metal must be stronger than the metal of the sector. Maybe I have just been unlucky 🤷‍♂️ It would probably carry on like a champ as it still seems to mesh fine with the Prometheus piston I will be fitting, but I will replace them for my piece of mind. Also just to confirm, the standard spring won't work with the Prometheus piston head? Like I said, I have got an Eagle6 M90 spring, but I'm worried it may be slightly hot once paired with the bearing spring guide and Promy 6.03 barrel, time will tell. Thank again.

Yeah for the sake of possible frustration later down the line, I've gone and ordered a set of Lonex gears. Could of got Nuprol Marui gears for a bit less but I couldn't find info on who OEM them and whether they are decent or not, so I went with Lonex.

Hi all, I'm in the process of doing a few upgrades to my TM NGRS CQB-R. I will be fitting a Gate Titan and a couple other bits I've acquired over time which are; Prometheus piston Prometheus piston head Prometheus type D cylinder Prometheus bearing spring guide Lonex 5.9mm metal bushings Was going to fit the original spring back in but could someone confirm whether or not it will work with the Prometheus piston head? I do have a Eagle6 M90 spring if needed. Anyway, I wasn't planning on replacing to gears due to keeping the power modest, but when I took it apart yesterday evening I noticed what looks like a small amount of wear on the sector gears release tooth (pics attached). Is this anything the worry about or is it normal? Should I purchase some upgrades gears while it's open, I would get Lonex gears if I did and can be had for around £50. So would you bother replacing it? It seems to mesh well with the Prometheus piston, but I don't want to be going back inside after a could thousand rounds because the release tooth has s**t itself :) The gun has to now been running stock for about 5K rounds on 7.4v 1450mah 30C lipo's. Thanks

Yeah your right mate. It would be worth the effort to SS if I was getting serious overspin/double shots in semi or encountering PME, but at the moment the gun sounds really nice and happy so I'd rather leave it alone Plus I've ordered a few bits and pieces for my TM including a Gate Titan so I need to clear the work space ready for that lol. By the way, these ZCI motors run so cool, was testing earlier and had no noticeable heat up in the grip at all! Thanks Andy

Thanks for the reply. I really do think it's my OCD kicking in as I got curious and went to check my TM recoil running pretty much stock power (bearing spring guide) and gears, with the same 7.4v 1450mah battery it is overspinning about the same amount and I've never had a problem with that gun. Pics below. Would their be any other benefit to SS the sector besides rectifying the overspin? Would I get slightly more trigger response and ROF or would those effects be negated due to then having to use a heavier spring to maintain fps? Thanks again Andy

Hi, A update on this then. I ordered a few parts and have just finished putting it together.... SHS 13:1 Gears ZCI 22tpa motor AOE corrected Shimmed Clean and lube The gun shoots lovely (really does feel and sound like a different gun) nice a snappy on 7.4v lipos without a crazy high ROF which is what I was aiming for. However, I have a problem (or maybe not) with overspin. I have attached some photo's showing how much the piston is being pulled back.. The pic showing 12mm on pull back is on a 7.4v 1450mah 30c Nuprol lipo The second pic showing 17mm pull back is on a 7.4v 2200mah 25c lipo The third pic is the resting position with the piston head against the cylinder head So the question is... Should I worry about this and attempt to fix it by SS the sector? I know a AB mosfet would sort it but I'm not looking for one of those at the moment and would be quite happy to rectify it from a "mechanical" point of view if required rather than a mosfet. I would prefer to use the 2200mah battery as the gun it a little more snappy with it due to the higher discharge. Also to note, I am getting no signs of pre engagement, no double shot on semi, no nasty sounds on auto, no wild fps inconsistences ( has a 1-2 fps variation). Let me know if you would SS or is it beneficial to SS, or is it just my OCD kicking in :) Thanks Andy

Hi all, I've got a KWA Ronin T6 which I have given a few runs out as stock minus a maple leaf bucking and omega nub. I tend to only run my guns on 7.4v lipo's (1450mah 30c) and with these I've noticed the T6 seems to me a little sluggish and I'd like to increase the trigger response. If I was to upgrade some parts internally I'm not sure on what would be the best match, I have some 13:1 SHS high speed gears knocking around so would like to utilise them if I was to go down this route, but not sure on the best motor to go with these or would the stock motor be fine? I'm looking for a nice snappy and fast cycle time / response but not crazy stupid ROF as I tend to shoot in semi mainly. I'm not a novice when it come to gearboxes and teched on quite a few on my own AEG's and would be comfortable undertaking the work myself, , just I have not gone down the route of changing gears/motors so I'm not sure of the best combination of parts for what I'm looking to achieve (if required at all). Would it make more sense to just give the thing a damn good service/shim and run it on 11.1v lipo's? Is this gun okay to run on 11.1v lipo's? Ideally I would like fast cycle time / response while maintaining the use of 7.4v lipo's. Thanks in advance. Andy
