Says in your sig your ACR is a dmr? Running at a higher fps on single shot?

Nah bud, it just has the 18 inch barrel and longer handguard. Still running at stock FPS.

I have the Wii Tech Hop Unit and the Wii Tech Hop Arm, and a Madbull Blue rubber, stock FPS and stock barrel.... runs nicely . Certainly better than the stock hopup, which I had no end of problems with. However, not everyone has problems with the stock rubber. I'd say stick with your stock ACR for now, maybe just replace the hop rubber (carefully, remember to dial hopup off before removing barrel), and only upgrade to the Wii Tech if you have issues. After all, it's generally best not to open up a gun if you can avoid it! Plus, getting to the hop unit on the Masada is a pain in the behind.

I know you get the chamber rubber and air nozzle with the set but there's a hop arm n nub set aswel was just asking if you had that. If I did get get wii tech hop unit would I need to use the air nozzle? As I wouldn't want to risk opening up the gear box lol.
I don't get enough hop with stock unit, can hit at 40m but pushing it any further. Have got a pdi w-hold rubber to use but was wondering if should use new hop unit first.

Re: Wii tech hop unit for magpul masada

I installed the unit first, but not the nozzle - I'm told that the nozzle results in an FPS increase of 10-20 FPS, which would have put me dangerously close to my site's limit, and no, you don't -need- it if you use the Wii Tech Unit. However, I still had significant problems with my hop, using the Wii Tech Unit, and the stock PTS arm and nub. I then upgraded to the Wii Tech Unit, AND Arm/Nub combo, which has drastically improved performance.

However, I would try changing your rubber first, because of the reasons in my last post. The rubber is relatively easy to change, hop completely off, quick change barrel out, a couple of screws and you've done it. The hop unit is much more difficult to get to.

Basically : Change the rubber first, then if you don't get improvements and you want to risk opening your gun, get the arm/nub combo as well, take it apart, and swap the hop out -completely- for the Wii Tech unit, arm, and nub. I wouldn't bother changing the unit but not the arm/nub - since that's where the problem tends to be anyway.

(By the way, a good test to see if your hop is behaving correctly, try a few heavier BBs. If you can't overhop [hop so much the BBs fly up and to the right] at least .25s, you might want to consider going for a change. If you're able to overhop .25s, then I wouldn't change things!)
