chillindrdude Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 its finally here. new systema revolution gearboxes for sale at airsoftatlanta. its pretty darn expensive, the price of a good AEG. I may have a go at this... http://airsoftatlanta.com/parts_aeg.htm#mechbox Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Bob the Sniper Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 yup noticed this earlier. might go there tom to look at it and check out the TM sopmod. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 it may be expensive, but remember? redwolf said they are supposed to be 500... in HK... Link to post Share on other sites
crustyflap Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Looks to be pretty spiffy if its all its cracked up to be. Though I know I won't be the first. My hats off to the first one that takes the plunge on this thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 it may be expensive, but remember? redwolf said they are supposed to be 500... in HK... That was the MSRP i believe. We were all expecting it to be just a bit cheaper. I dunno, with the release of the new TM m4 im holding back on this. My conventional AEG's are fine enough for me. I was really and i mean really excited about this product up until the date that i found out about the new marui m4. Hope to read review of this fairly soon although ive already owned ptw's so im pretty sure i know how this one is going to pan out. Link to post Share on other sites
Bizurkur Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 it'd be nice if AA actually wrote anything about WHY it's the best gearbox ever. Some people's business sense is silly Link to post Share on other sites
TDS Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 What was the gimmic of this one again? It does look really robust though. Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 They claim its basically a PTW upgrade for regular AEGs. Link to post Share on other sites
Beast06 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 They claim its basically a PTW upgrade for regular AEGs. How it's a "PTW" in the slightest I don't know - It's just another GB. Link to post Share on other sites
BigBabyMoses06 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 No thank you. I think the price is quite silly. I wonder what the cost to manufacture it was. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Too pricey for a GB, even more I you consider it costs as much as the new TM SOPMOD... But well, Im not their target buyer anyway, Im a "Clone Trooper" after all Link to post Share on other sites
DyNo! Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Saw it in person. It is nice but not worth $500. Link to post Share on other sites

I was really and i mean really excited about this product up until the date that i found out about the new marui m4. Hope to read review of this fairly soon although ive already owned ptw's so im pretty sure i know how this one is going to pan out. 550 was the MSRP. redwolf said they'd sell them for aroud 500. How it's a "PTW" in the slightest I don't know - It's just another GB. its not "just another gearbox" but it does use the same type of gears. it uses a light activted mosfet system (build in, but not sure of the advantages on the light activated part), a practically indestructible piston, no tapet plate to worry about and a metal selector.

Bizurkur Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 eh, I'll just wait for the clone XD Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Research much... As the chap said: Light gate mosfet of fancyness +1, Piston Of Indestructibilty +1, No Tappet Plate Perk and +1 Gear. Supposed to give you a PTW in a non PTW shell. So yeah, not really just another gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites
Bizurkur Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 does anyone know HOW that piston is indestructable? looks pretty standard'ish to me. Link to post Share on other sites
TDS Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 does anyone know HOW that piston is indestructable? looks pretty standard'ish to me. it isn't made of low quality mild steel and polycarb Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 its made out of the same stuff and is of the same dimensions as a PTW piston. how many of those have you heard of breaking? Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I (and almost everybody) Agree in thats not "just another gearbox", but I still think 500 bucks is still a bit of... "pricey" for "just" the gearbox. Maybe someone should install it on a "Dboys" Link to post Share on other sites
TDS Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 its made out of the same stuff and is of the same dimensions as a PTW piston. how many of those have you heard of breaking? Ive seen a few strip but TheWarStore has sold a ridiculous number of PTW's, so some are bound to have a problem, but they were all with the "challenge kit" so you can write that off to personal failure. But the gearset is the awesome part, the gearbox is designed to allow the gears to be bigger and stronger, and they are actual machined hardened steel gears not this fake garbage, I haven't seen one with the slightest bit of wear beyond the finish scratching off a little, and that was after fielding it for a year with the red cylinder.

dondara Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 does anyone know HOW that piston is indestructable? looks pretty standard'ish to me. Sure, that would be stronger ...I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 "lolz" for "quoting" ":3" to compensate for the smaller piston, the spring has become thinner aswell, but they are still capable of the same power levels. the 3 other gears below the first gear are removable to install a normal sized bevel and sector gear (i think i have my gears mixed up) for lower power setups. you see, the 4 gear setups allow all high torque setting to be used in the same gear set allowing to pull back any power you can imagine with a moderate rate of fire.

Bizurkur Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Sure, that would be stronger ...I guess. now that makes a lot of sense, thanks EDIT: Next question, anyone know of a reasonable voltage limit for this baby? Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Properly tuned systems assembled with quality parts won't have the piston fail. That's a weak argument. Better to trumpet the actual unique features than to claim that the piston is god. And, of course, there are cynics like me who remember the original Systema red piston, and the epic failure that resulted. *edit - added the bold. Parts are key. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 i can surely say this against any cynic: the systema revolution is a gift from (place your upmost holy god here) passed down through the minds of systema's design team to last a literal eternity without a single breakage or lockup in whatever gun you put it in. quote me on that.
