ev2uk Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well the gear issue is a unexpected issue, I've not seen any others do that. Spacer mod and sector gear mod ( if those gears are copy's of the original you will need to remove 3 teeth from the sector gear ) My friend had this happen with his, again for no apparnat reason, he ordered a G+G set..... much better quality..

marlvass Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) i am trying to find this spacer kit but with no avail, either out of stock or shipping is way to high that does not make it worth the money. i will most probably create my own spacer i know it has to be 10mm in length but i have a question, is their a particular diameter or something? or as long as it is 10mm in length its ok? 10x Edited August 2, 2009 by marlvass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marlvass Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Where you based ? hehe in malta (eu), we dont have airsoft shops here so have to go for online ones, i will try to make a custom make one, will try to get one with same diameter of piston then we see what happens Edited August 3, 2009 by marlvass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ev2uk Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 ...Its been reported that if you were to order a Tpkyo Marui piston (the standard one with the spring) they have a little weight inside which also holds the spring in place.. This can be used apparantly... ..Tony.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarnish Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Take a look at the Repair and Mods Guide by Stealthbomber. It's originally for the G&G L85A1 but is equally applicable to the Army R85A1 with it being a clone of the G&G. I would also suggest carrying out the second piston tooth removal trick in addition to the mods listed in the guide. Edited August 4, 2009 by Tarnish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Domz Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Mine's till running after many thousands of rounds with the airsoftworld spacer! Just installed Guarder (m4 style plastic) hop unit, madbull blue hop rubber and madbull 509mm tightbore and the accuracy and range is now very very good!

ferdiii Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Hi, Sometimes ago, I read here a post about the existence of a PDF which explained how to disamble a gear box from a SA80 G&G. Does anybody know where I can get it?I have to fix the gearbox and I don´t know how to do it. Thanks in advance. I found it.Now, it is not necessary. Thanks Edited August 19, 2009 by ferdiii Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheL96Sniper Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Pile of junk from all mates who got 1. Worst piston in Airsoft. Hard to get parts for gearbox etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thats rather harsh. 5 in the team and other then the niggles they all work. What exactly is it junk for ? The parts for this are the same has the GnG, so you can either order from them directly or firesupport in the uk - wgc in hongkong Also what did you expect ? this is a clone...

rolling-thunder Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'd also like to point out that my gun was one of the first in the UK & over 100,000 rounds later it still works with the blowback enabled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hop2 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Bought 2nd hand last year. Blowback disabled. Original piston. Still working fine. Use it twice a month for the whole day. Edited September 15, 2009 by Hop2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 anyone tell me if replacing the motor with an aftermarket one will speed up the rate of fire? mine is really slow- 450-500 RPM... not really skirmishable imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllGunzblazin Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 is the blowback disabled? and 500rpm is bit low but still skirmishable. i dont like seeing people spray and hold down the trigger for like 10 seconds with a 15-20-RPS gun. just annoying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwatMP5man Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 My L85 finally succumbed today. Over 75,000 rounds and the trigger contacts have burnt away i think. Full auto has disappeared and the gun no longer fires a full shot on semi, even with a new battery. Will solder on some new connectors, and hopefully that will be all thats wrong, as none of the mechanical parts show any signs of wear. Reason for this i think is due to the high amount of rounds fired through it in rapid semi, and i think the heat and possibilty of arcing may have caused it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 While mine finally gave up the ghost. Looks like one of the teeth on the spur gear broke off, jammed the bevel gear and caused the pinon gear on the motor to shread...... lucky i had a back up. I'll be replacing the lot with a new gear set and new motor and will reshim it at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 is the blowback disabled? and 500rpm is bit low but still skirmishable. i dont like seeing people spray and hold down the trigger for like 10 seconds with a 15-20-RPS gun. just annoying blowback disabled, brand new 3600 custom battery and still slow as a turtle.

yusanai Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 For anyone interested, Rsov sells this http://www.rsov.com/index.php?target=produ...product_id=3854 I believe it will make the spacer mod obsolete, mine is in the mail, i'll put it in and come back with impressions.

Stealthbomber Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 http://www.rsov.com/index.php?target=produ...product_id=3854 I believe it will make the spacer mod obsolete, mine is in the mail, i'll put it in and come back with impressions. Oooh, an 19 tooth piston with metal teeth? I believe it will make people damage gears instead of pistons and, once they've damaged their original gears, they'll be FORCED to use a 16 tooth piston because they won't be able to find replacement G&G-style gears.

yusanai Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Worry not, Rsov also sells this , the thing is that they look steel-ish, the only thing left to strip would be the motor pinion, but those are a dime-a-dozen. At least this way you wont worry about a tooth falling in the gb and destroying everything. http://www.rsov.com/index.php?target=produ...product_id=4037 Edited December 21, 2009 by yusanai Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noart Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 At least this way you wont worry about a tooth falling in the gb and destroying everything. I don't see how swapping to a full metal teeth piston and to another set of gears eleminates that risk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
