Hello's Forum, i gone and brought me a Bolt M16A4 BRSS. my first question is what gears should/can i go with please? was hoping to find some helicals with the newer tappet timing, but cant find a full helical with it yet. i have a set of 13:1 and 18:1 that can be powered by a 33k brushless. i have 11.1 and 7.4 lipo's for it. i did upgrade the hell out of a double bell mk12 before and got that running smooth but i just wanted that recoil as it was missing. other parts are a kestrel etu, 470mm inner and maybe a better hop up unit. thinking of a 509mm inner as it would be correct for the gun, alloy nozzle and metal spring guide.

so far so good, managed to install, the kestrel v2 , the newer designed 13:1 gears, 33k brushless motor and the alloy hop up tracer unit. notice on the 18;1 gear set that it was rubbing against the top half of the kestrel, its a pad to prevent damage, but i think taking it apart after some use to check is needed. i tried to change out my air system with another complete system of cylinder, piston, piston head and cylinder head. i went for the silent type and got a full ribbed cylinder and ordered a alloy piston body before i was inform not to use it. my experiment failed. the full cylinder performed worse than the 70%. i assume though leaking. i believe i figure out why alloy pistons bodies dont work. my gear box case has a window at the rear to view the spring guide. i think the window opened allows the piston to move side to side causing jams. i think if you have a full set of piston rails it would work fine. the compression of the silent piston in either cylinder is not very good and the original double o ring piston is much better. im thinking of a diferent full 100% cylinder. i also had a spade connector break on me, managed to Bodge it with an old connector.

my phone is ballon shaped at the moment and has cracked its armoured case due to the battery, the armoured case hides expanding batterie's really well so cant take photo at the minute. its a small gap becoming wider to the rear along the seem of the upper and lower. its only small. ill get a photo in about a week as i have a new battery then. thank you!!!

i have the full Kestrel v2 and the current software does not have active braking as an option? the brushless motors sometimes come with an anti-reversal bearing, mine seem to be happy to turn both ways, so ill keep the latch in for the time being. next question, my upper and lower don't want to come together like the beatles said. i am thinking i need to maybe grind the gearbox top but i thought i would ask as to what i should look at to get them to merge please?

i have heard that you don't need a anti-reversal latch and you turn off active braking with a brushless motor, is this correct please?

hello's, i have started to get the parts i ordered. i have heard that you don't need a anti-reversal latch and you turn off active braking with a brushless motor, is this correct please? i have received the alloy hop up unit and installed it and it feeds. i will assemble again as the little nub lever spring might not be sitting right. i have the kestrel v2 here and intend to install that today, the box is something special. never had such a nice box before, bit to small for the cat though the brushless motor managed to get stolen/lost on route, i forgot that people will just steal your stuff if they have a chance, so i have had to order another one and its the 33k one. the newer better timed Jvan 18:1 gear set is here, they look nice and come packaged well. wish me luck please.

i am thinking that the 470mm barrel would like the newer gears, and im still not sure of what gears to get, thats the end problem i found.

yes, ill take my time doing stuff and install bit by bit. do you think, etu, then motor, hop up, and gears if needed. please? cool, that's what im after. a "normal" rate of fire and the more or less instant trigger response. i'm still not sure of which gears would be best, what do you all suggest please? im thinking 18:1 is probably needed and ordered a set with the later sector delay nub. if you dont know what i mean, check adzzzy's armoury on you tube.

thank you. sounds like as long as i set that up first the gun can run a stupidly fast trigger response?

i contacted kestrel today about the rate of fire control with their etu unit. there an adjustment on the back of the brushless motor to reduce the rpm to half, the 39k does 33k on 7.4v halved to 16.5k. what i asked is does there mosfet etu just control the adjustment or digitally cycle the gun as well, giving another way to lower the cyclic rate of fire. anyone have any idea if this is correct, please?

thank you for the replies, mostly i want to turn the gun in to a £400 gun instead of buying another. i found the gun was slow response and rate of fire a bit low. i got faster 13:1 gears for it and thought i would need a torque motor as well, i found a discount brushless and choose that no realizing it was to fast, i can replace with a 33k. the piston is already becoming concave, probably from when i brought a new spring, it was to long , so i asked and they said to put it in anyway and i was doing 400fps for a bit on full auto. the bjx are not up to scratch then, the newer delay timing position on the sector is why i got them. i can get the another with that. but what speed should i get please? 18,16,13? should i keep the motor go change please?

can you explain please? and i have asked for gear advice, not much help going on.... i have 90 days free return on stuff and months till i go again, what do you advise please?

yes i have played a few games and have only one scar so far, rear of left arm. its winter and im a summertime animal. its m90/300fps with 0.2bb and 2 second max bursts. its an outdoor site, a lot of objects and the owner and staff are nice.

i doubt it will, but i need something to do as i am not very well. but thank you for your time.

hello's again, after a day of trying to force myself to spend money on stuff, i finally did. im going to keep the original, 470mm 6.02 inner brass barrel. bell high performance piston head. cylinder and cylinder head. gearbox casing. the piston head is the same as a Maxx high performance and i assume the rest are the same. i have brought, 13:1 BJX gears, shs delayer chips, sealed bearing, shims and some teflon grease. 39k Brushless motor. Maxx Alloy hop-up with built in tracer , Prometheus bucking and nub. Kestrel v2 with wifi. shs tappit plate. alloy piston body. lots of springs m90-120. o-ring silicone grease. and a cleaning and unjamming rod kit. all the stuff and the base gun have come to about £400. i know i could have got a new gun but will all these parts, i can upgrade any V2 i decide to get later. the new gears hopefully have the different timing chip placement. the hop up was really hard to purchase as it was full price 😭 the tappit plate in the gun looks worn already. can the kestrel work with the ported lightened gear set please? anyone know how easy it would be to wire the tracer up please? will it plug on to or be soldered to the Kestrel? or do i have to do some crazy wiring please? i will be thinking about an inner barrel at some point, but is it worth it please?
