Re: G&P Gearbox Help

They do a "deans" 7mm one for $67 USD, and the 8mm one is $112 USD.

Not convinced there is $45 worth of difference to be had myself, lol.

The diff is that the one im looking at is part of a kit, comes with cocking lever, bolt stop, mag catch ect. presume thats the same as the one you mentioned?

Re: G&P Gearbox Help

i run my g&p gb with m120 fine on 9.6 mini's and dave before me ran 8.4's very happy

Yeah? cool, i reck ill go with either 9.6 or lipos, i think 10v would be putting too much on the gears?

Re: G&P Gearbox Help

Not got to worry about the gears too much, but the faster you go better you need to line things up, and get mags to feed etc!

The one I seen does not come with the parts, so if you need the bits, not such a good deal!

What I would say though is the lot comes to about £95. So if you did want G&P externals too, you may be better off buying a complete G&P in the first place. You can get good deals, mine was £230 from here in pretty much unused condition! No worries about tax, and you get the body too

Re: G&P Gearbox Help

Yeah im with you on that, only im kindav half way along with it now.lol got a m4 ras + m4 body, a2 grip, stock ect ect. All prob cost me as much as a m16a3 off zero one! if i find a cheap one i might go for it but ill have ta see what comes along. Should look ace tho when its done. I do have a marui v2 lying about that i could use if i dont get the g&p one, just waying it up really

Seem to leak basically. Springs come out lower rated, although the gearbox seal is near perfect.

Will crono in my one on Thursday. Is dead on 285fps - 287fps with SP90 spring with the G&P unit. Should be more like 310+ with madbull unit
