Actually, not that fun. I haven't gamed this setup yet, this is just during assembly/disassembly and testing that it broke. Stock 18:1 gears, stock spring, nothing fancy. I think it probably broke during pinion/bevel alignment.

If your first guess is significantly off and you are mixing a high torque motor with a 6000mAh LiPo that can happily supply >200A routed through a MOSFET, the occasional accident can happen. Just be careful with these ARLs during initial setup if you're messing around with high powered parts.

edit: Also I'd like to report that this AK build is complete and the Lonex gearbox has worked out great. Due to the sketchy JG body I put it into I had to play around a bit with nozzles and sanding down a couple areas on the receiver, but it's great now. I'll probably use the V2 version of this gearbox if I'm doing any further builds in the future.
