  1. The lower half (Southern) is definitely my preference, its mostly thick brush so lots interesting fighting there, plus the Stargate is pretty cool. Good luck there and let me know when you've got the chance, I should be playing fortnightly from now on, but I'm not great with timetables.
  2. As a Warminster 'regular' I know what you mean about building names and not knowing where to go, now I've started to learn them though I find them much easier. I'm told that Dave will give you a map print out if you ask him, but I haven't tried that yet. I tend to take a notebook and jot down respawn points and times, along with the major objective, it's been super useful so far. When are you likely to get back out? I'm playing this Sunday, if you're there come and say hello.
  3. Well I've run out of ideas, nothing I can do is working so does anyone know a good tech in the Southwest (I'm in Bath)?
  4. The bearings are fine (evenly spaced, I can't induce shifting by twisting or titling them or anything), visually at least, this thing is confounding me. I've just opened the gun back up, just to see if I can drop the SHS bushings in, they'll need some modification to slim them down, but they'll fit for sure. Basically (it doesn't show well in a photo unfortunately) the 'rim' on the bushings is a lot thicker than the bearings, even though the bushings are a lot thinner over all (~3mm bearing thickness w/ .5mm 'rim' vs ~2.5mm bushing w/ 1mm 'rim'). I'm planning on dremeling one of them down to fit, then trying that for a bit, if that doesn't work I'll try and recess the hole in the gearbox by a sliver and pushing the bearing in further to reduce its effect upon the gear. I've gone over them with WD40 so that'll sort any water problems out, I'll regrease them tonight but they're not showing any rust or sticking, so we should be set.
  5. They're fully greased again and it was next to a radiator, definitely not on one. I'll take a proper look anyway, it's not like I can find anything else here.
  6. No other changes, unless the outer/inner barrel, hop up bucking, & nub can influence the gearbox (I've played a game with this configuration, so nothing I can see). I've tried with & without shimming on both stock & new gears, without a shim the bevels scrape, with a single shim it runs silently, I did shim both sides until there was minimal play. I washed the gearbox (stripped it completely, washed in warm, mildly soapy water and cleaned the corners with a toothbrush, rinsed the bearings then dried the halves on a towel next to a radiator, using PC duster gas to ensure there wasn't water in the gearbox), I checked bearing function at every stage without issue. If they're out of position I can't see it, they don't shift at all and never have done. The thing is pretty subtle and I doubt I can get a good enough photo, but I'll try that when I get a chance, but the bevel gear tipped when the pinion is applied, almost like it's shimmed too high, but this happens without shims. I can appreciate that, I bought it before I'd realised that the stock set up was being an issue too. I've got some bushings and I might try fitting one below the bevel and slimming it down further, just to see if it'll help.
  7. I have, I can't see anything at all, nor can I see any damage on the bearings. The shimming was returned to original (one brass shim on either side + spring on spur), the gears, spring, motor, & grease are the only gearbox components I have changed (new shims with new gears, but I returned to stock for the stock gears).
  8. Not for here, the new motor is maybe a mm shorter. The pinion profile might be a little different, but I can't tell if it's my eyes playing tricks of me, I've got a pinion puller coming now.
  9. It doesn't matter how I adjust the motor height, it's either a jam (too high) or screeching. Surely my stock pistol grip, stock gearbox, stock motor, & stock gears should sound the same as they used to though? Literally the opposite here, I can't get the gear low enough, trying to tailor the motor height with the half shell method resulted in my gears running a bit too close to the shell or forcing my bevel off axis. Yeah, the baseplate does basically all of the positioning, though I did try shimming the motor to prevent play and to shift it away from the bevel (separately) but to no avail.
  10. Hi guys, I've bought a UK spec SPR-M (20K motor) and have done some tinkering with it (inner barrel to fix the awful cylinder:barrel ratio, outer barrel/moderator for looks, stronger spring (SP100) to bump power back up). I've been looking to up the trigger response a little so I've picked up a high torque motor (ASG 22TPA) and the Krytac compatible Prommy gear set (13:1). I fitted both components and it was awful, screechy, and jammed. I redid my shimming, removing most of it until I had loose shimming and retried without compression part, still bad. here's a list of what I've tried: - New gears & new motor = screeching, - new bevel & new motor = screeching, - stock gears & new motor = screeching, - stock bevel & new motor = screeching, - & stock gears & stock motor = grinding (this was not present before). I've tried with and with the anti-reversal latch, mixed old bevel with new gears (they fit by the way) and vice versa without any luck. Any ideas? Further context. I have cleaned and regreased the gearbox. Using the half shell method I can see that the pinion gear is riding too high over the bevel, in all 4 configurations, I believe this is my issue, I just don't know why it's happening now. The body, grip, wiring harness, gearbox shell, etc. are all stock and have not been an issue before.
