Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Things to consider when going High Torque

So i have the gears in my hand and they in fact state "72:1".. so no questions in regards to these gears don't exist.. unless im seeing things

The reason behind the High Torque motor + gears is that im running a CYMA AK-47 with a recoil/blowback engine that came stock with the gun. A rather heavy weight is attached to the gearbox and it gets pulled back with the piston. The gun came with a rather high torque motor but i figured the SHS would do a better more efficient job. I don't care about ROF with this particular set up..i just want a nice crisp action on semi for the most part.

For the past few weeks the gun has worked like a charm until this past weekend when i didn't have my 11.1 with me and opted to use a 9.6V. (Would a lesser voltage battery cause any issues with the gears?)

The SPUR and SECTOR gear just got destroyed.. missing teeth on both.

So now i have the high torque steel gears (King Arms or not they have to be better than the stock gears)

I am leaning towards disabling the blowback/recoil engine if this is going to continue to create un-wanted wear and tear of the gearbox.. the novelty has long worn off anyways. But with the blowback removed.. will the high torque set up create new issues? Maybe it makes sense to keep the blowback turned on to warrent a high torque set up..

otherwise then yes.. im just pulling a M120 with a high torque set up..

recommendations?
