Tech Advice Needed - Overspin and Inconsistent, Low FPS

So as far as the gearbox cracking I  probably just got unlucky?  I'm not sure what to do about the cracked gearbox as I am afraid of fitment issues.

It's a Specna Edge after all, the Onion gearbox isn't known for its legendary reliability

Fitment issues aren't the end of the world to be honest, although I would get an E&C gearbox shell rather than a Retro Arms, it's much cheaper and you won't cry your eyes out if you need to take a dremel/angle grinder anywhere near it

@ak2m4 When do you get the E&C gearboxes in stock?

The E&C qd gearbox shells are easily the best bang for buck performance, they are just super hard to get in the UK right now.  Quickest way at the moment is probably ordering from a HK store that has stock.  You might have fitment issues with the SA receiver but that's to be expected.

Not going to be for another 6-8 weeks sadly.  There's a small chance I might get 5 or 10 in stock soon but COVID is causing all sorts of delay at the moment, from the factory to shipping to customs.

Picking up a dremel some time soon to finish the build off and shortstroke 1 or 2 more teeth. I am NEVER going to  use a file on an airsoft gear ever again. Took me around 2 hours of constant filing.
