Wardeneo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Im thinking of putting a m110 spring (350fps) in my SRC gen 3 g36c instead of the standard m100 (330fps) spring that comes with it... As a gen 3 (with allready upgraded internals as stock) is the internals good enough to handle this small power increase???? Cheers Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacitus Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Chances are that the internals will be ok as long as you do the correct maintenance and reliability work such as shiming, AOE etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacitus Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sorry I mean 'shimming'! Shimming refers to the practice of adding or removing shims (thin washers) to the gear axles in order to improve gear meshing. This is important to reduce friction while ensuring maximum gear tooth contact. Correctly shimmed gears run quieter and provide less mechanical resistance, making your AEG more efficient. AOE stands for Angle of Engagement, and refers to the angle at which the sector gear and piston engage. In stock AEGs they engage at the wrong angle, putting too much stress on the first sector gear tooth and the first piston tooth. The angle of engagement is altered by adding a spacer to the cylinder head, which stops the piston slightly further back in the gearbox. This means that when the sector gear engages the piston, the teeth meet at a different angle, one which puts less stress on the teeth. A quick google will turn up some pictures which explain this clearly. These are just two of the methods you should be using to correctly tune an AEG for reliability. If you want to just increase the FPS, on the understanding that it may not last too long, you can just drop in a stronger spring and see what happens. But a stronger springs puts more stress on the internal parts, so if you want your AEG to be reliable you should really do some research on good upgrade techniques. I'm writing a beginner's guide to AEG upgrades, but the information is all on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I wouldn't worry too much about this unless your upgrades are causing problems like breaking pistons/teeth, etc. The SRC G36C should cope with a 120 spring without causing any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
