increase torque in a V.7 mechbox

[sgtscarfy]

How is the "G&P Ver.7 Gearbox Super Torque Up Spur Gear" any different than the stock gear? Its compatible with stock mauri gears so if that was the case it should have the same number of teeth as the rest of the gears.

Since im running ~400fps with my m14, what kind of gearing should i be running with a stock TM motor and 8.4V 3600mah? I dont want to prematurely wear out anything and it has about 1 second trigger lag right now...

Actually it has a different number of teeth. Marui compatible means that they are the right dimensions to fit in the gearbox.

Torque up gears usually come in sets so that you get all the ratios correct.

Basically:

highspeed gears = fast RoF and quicker trigger response
torque up gears = lower RoF but allow for more powerful springs.

Under MAA rules a fully auto AEG can't be more than 400fps, under those rules you don't really need torque ups. I use them to intentionally reduce the RoF in my FAL.

It really depends what you want to do.

G&P Ver.7 Gearbox Super Torque Up Spur Gear
- Super Torque Up Spur Gear for Ver. 7 Gearbox, capable of using higher power springs.
- Compatible with original gears
- Material: Steel
Brand new with packaging
Price: $27

From my understanding its compatible with the original gears. I already have bought this and when installing it i swear i counted the same number of teeth. Either that or im going crazy...

Ya im installing a trigger master MOSFET and programming it for semi only for falling under the proper rules.

I would have replaced all the gears

The trouble with replacing just the 1 is now you have different quality metal in there G&P Stock metal and TM Pot-metal (no doubt smelted from Chinese pots and pans, thank you chairman Mao) which totally changes the rate at which the gears wear down.
