Really depends on how they rated their madbull m100 springs, I think they rate them with 0.25g. They do give a kg rating though which is pretty useless. For the XT springs grab a M100, then you can always adjust from there once tested

Easier way is to buy a new spring. Cutting springs can work fine also but can lead to other issues. I made a handy chart on my website on the XT springs that should give you an idea of where to start. Some AEGs come short stroked from new, some super short inner barrels. Lot of variables which affect power.

@The_Roach oh this happened in France! Phew, don't scare us like that 🙂

4/5 months seems super excessive, @C-Diddy did they use E-Express? Parcel Force in the UK? Generally e-Express is 40 bucks for 2kg

@Rogerborg 🙂

Any Airsoft retailer should not be sending out untested AEGs. It's very probable that you can fix the issue with a couple of new orings and new bucking and nub. No need to speed £200+. Please don't Where are you based?

In your original post you said you've done over 20,000 shots but now say 15,000 ? Are you rolling back the pedometer hehe... Technically the statement is correct though 🙂 I've been offered Solink motors wholesale, and their other products which are SHS OEM. I'd like to see a good 500,000 cycles on the motor. One thing I did find interesting was a slim brushless

Ah Ha, we have a winner 🙂

Ah sorry I don't really know much about them, if it was one of mine I could have helped, sent out a replacement to try etc. My M95's on 0.25 hit around 280fps with a 260mm. These types of issues are tricky to diagnose without a "benchmark" spring. If you truly think it's the spring you should measure the length and the wire thickness and talk to the place you purchased it from, they can compare it to another spring. Ah just had a thought! I think CYMA platimum short stroke their builds, you should check this first.

What brand is the M95 ?

you seen this?

@RostokMcSpoons I have spoken to DE recently about buying spares, even with a large purchase order for AEG's but the owner replied they aren't interesting in selling spare parts. Maybe they have a different deal with their existing suppliers or wholesaler but for me kinda took the shine off the company a bit. They can fit an aftermarket ETU right? Or even a standard trigger block. I'm sure one of the major dealers has spares though, crazy not to.

I'm not an ARES expert but I imagine it's down to the general poor reputation ARES currently have. Over priced AEG's perhaps due to the licensing then trying to compete with CYMA within the SR25/DMR world. Proprietary parts can suck.

about 10 years ago, HK based if I remember rightly. What are you trying to buy out of interest? I see they are doing a new gearbox design, looks interesting but looks like it will possibly only fit in APS aegs

I think (don't quote me on this) the gearbox uses their microswitch'd ETU which uses a magnet on the sector gear hmmmmm. Not sure if that's the way forward, not seen anything about the long-term reliability. Nice externals of course, but as you say pricey.

2mm banana plugs are a great option for adding a quick disconnect.

@Speedbird_666 how's the measuring between 2 points in Plasticity? Fusion drives me up the wall

good on ya man. 3d printers like anything just have to buy one, jump in and muddle around. see some people use silicone molds for zanak casting now, handy for when you want to make more than one unit. you can make me 1000 gearbox shells if you want 🙂

Casting one-off's in your garage is possible with minimal costs, (some neat budget foundries out there). Nice little market out there I suspect.

@Rogers84 if you're worried about PME use a 7.4 lipo 🙂

you sure you didn't reverse the polarity of the motor?

forget the silent cylinder head / piston head combo, they're just too much trouble for little gain. The rubber is notoriously difficult to get to stick to the aluminium - I no longer sell them.

looks like the 1st tooth (the big thick one) is a little high, it could be rubbing against the top of the sector gear, but I've got zero experience of the eve so might just be a "thing". However is easy fixed grinding it down. you're right though perhaps leave it for a few games and see how it performs.

Hopefully arrive tomorrow for you. Keep an eye on your email for a RM tracking link.

Currently out of stock on the single oring aluminium piston heads - more arriving end of the week. Really Double O-ring piston heads aren't worth the added cost in reliability and bring nothing to the table. Will remove this from the website just reminded me. The POM-H piston heads with the Viton orings are currently the most requested / purchased right now so worth checking out Also I'm not sure about the Madbull PX02, generally a lot of retailers are pulling away from the wide rack design due to it causing scratches on the inside of cylinder. Not sure if that type of piston is a requirement for that KWA? £20+ for a wide-racked MIM piston doesn't make much sense to me unless it's a compatibility thing.
