Re: Element upgrade parts?
From my experience:
There polycarbonate pistons are great. There 6mm oiless bearings were pretty alright. Their springs are in no way regulated. I've heard horror stories about some other parts. It's a total mixed bag.
I only use them for Pistons now.
Oh, and getting a cheap tightbore barrel is pretty much a contradiction in itself. :D

Re: Element upgrade parts?
Just try and find some feedback on a part by part basis. Failing that, Element parts are not expensive so it's not like you wasting too much money if it doesnt work.
(I could just have had a dodgey spring)

Re: Element upgrade parts?
Nothing wrong with their gear box internals. I use them all the time and no failures here. In arround 2 years.
I don't use their springs, but I didn't realise there were any issues but will steer clear still.
In fact, should speak for it's self. Motor was an M160.

Re: Element upgrade parts?
Same here with the springs! M95 in an MP5 368fps :eek:
Its hard to find fault considering the price if you are running hi-speed's then their pistons are great just buy a few and change them out every now and then. There gears have always been good and their new range of motors are bloody fantastic. Cant comment on the barrels but I have the H-Nubs and the V-Groove buckings in some of my guns and have no plans to change them. :D

Re: Element upgrade parts?
I'v used there piston and it dident even fit in the gearbox the tracks were that out of shape! ( ordered a different piston and it working fine )
I have there silent piston head and after two hi caps ( on semi as my selector plate is broken ) it snapped off..
My experiences but i probably got duff parts as i havent heard much bad about them

Re: Element upgrade parts?
A lot of their parts are brilliant.
I'll stand strong when I say their motors are fantastic. Really are quality.
