torN- Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 well the comment about the internals is....dissapointing . im just going to wait then for the VFC aims to come back in stock. The range and performance on my last one was simply amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Well I cant really tell you about the stock internals , I got one with an aftermarket custom gearbox, but the externals make it worth it Edited September 3, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 It's not that hard to put a 9.6 in if you remove the fuse. As for the internals... if all LCT gearboxs are like mine, then it makes the gun not worth buying. I would have killed for one with a VFC GB, Even CYMA innards would have been better than LCTs own offerings. I'm still waiting on parts from a friend to get my gun working. Not working again, just working at all. The conversion kit would seem the smart move. LCT use cyma gearboxes, at least im pretty sure they still do. always used to. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMM Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) LCT use cyma gearboxes, at least im pretty sure they still do. always used to. Recently, since the start of the year I think, they've started offering pre-built guns with their own stock gear box. *edit for link Edited September 3, 2010 by DarkMM Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 are you sure about that? lct amd65 odd. plastic bushes, never seen that in an LCT before. pre-production review sample maybe? they always used to use new style cyma boxes, im sure of it. still, thats irrelevant now as they seem to be using the box posted by darkMM Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder how good the LCT gearboxes are, might pick one up sometime as there not a bad price and hopefully they will have some decent internals! Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully next week i'll have some nice pictures to put up here of my G&G AKMS when it comes along with the rest of my collection! Link to post Share on other sites
torN- Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) well ive just ordered a VFC AKS74 from WGC, after a sleepless night of deciding which aeg i should go for (VFC AIMS PMC, AKMS and AKS74) the AKS74 came out tops. So within 7 days I should have it in my grasp at last! I will also post pics to make up for my rabbling in the thread for pictures!

Scharf Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) cm.040B? looks the same as mine started, nice Edited September 5, 2010 by Scharf Link to post Share on other sites
torN- Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 cm.040B? looks the same as mine started, nice indeed it is. Only "internal" mod on it is a new madbull hard hopup rubber and H nub, seemed to improve the distance and grouping of the bbs, only slightly tho. Performs very well out the box but i need to put a new spring in if its chrono'ing at 350fps +. Glad i bought it last summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Your going to love your VFC aks74, damn good guns. Lol Ill probably end up embarrassing myself with this but here's a vid I made of my RPK yesterday, forgive anything silly I say, I get nervous when making a video Edited September 5, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
torN- Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Ive had a VFC AIMS before and loved it! however sold it, but to a good home (mightjebus). I tried mightyjebus's, well one of his many many AKS74s back in 2007 i think but it was pretty pretty awesome. Btw the ROF on your RPK is...wow. nice video also. [edit] I also plan to put a MOSFET and run a 7.4v? lipo at some point, however i dont have the tools or the knowledge to install a mosfet, would have to send my aeg off to do it. If i do that i might aswell get it changed to deans/T style battery connectors? Edited September 5, 2010 by torN- Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) I know how you feel with the work to install the mosfet, I had my local shop do it as I gave it a try and was overwhelmed by the intricate innards of a GB that I have not directly worked with before. But I also run it with t-style connectors and it works great, They let more juice through to the gun as they have lower resistance. Also I was having issues with my tamiya connectors not always working so they are also much more reliable, at least from my experience so far. So I would definitely recommend you do that as well, that however was something I was able to do and if you are able to solder you could do as well I believe the ROF on the rpk is somewhere between 20-23rps, not sure if it took 6 or 7 seconds to dump the mag as the sounds off, but that is at the lowest 1200rpm so its good for the purpose I have it for.

torN- Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yeah im not going start playing with the internals on my VFC, now my cyma i might. But for starters i'll be running a 9.6v 1500mah stick. Am i right in saying the 7.4v lipo has a higher ROF than the 9.6v? Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) No, if I plugged my 9.6 I would have an even higher rate of fire, The 7.4 gives a lower ROF than a 9.6, but more than an 8.4 Edited September 5, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 indeed it is.

Performs very well out the box but i need to put a new spring in if its chrono'ing at 350fps +. Glad i bought it last summer. Keep the H nub, chuck the Madbull rubber, they're *suitcase*. Get a Guarder Clear or a Prometheus Purple rubber in there. You'll see a big increase in range. Link to post Share on other sites

sowi Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I don't like the Madbull rubber either...always caused nothing but troubles for me, I'll stick to the Guarder and Systema Link to post Share on other sites

torN- Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just waiting on my AKS74 now, bought it from Firesupport instead. My Prometheus purple rubbers came through the post today! Btw what is stopping me from buying a LCT conversion kit and dropping the internals from my Cyma CM040B into it? looking at either the AKMS kit or the MG-MS. Link to post Share on other sites

Btw what is stopping me from buying a LCT conversion kit and dropping the internals from my Cyma CM040B into it? looking at either the AKMS kit or the MG-MS. nothing mate. I would suggest a madbull tightbore when your swapping them over as you will see a bit difference in accuracy from one of them. The only issue might be the wiring but I think the cyma is already wired for a battery on top of the gearbox as opposed to the stock. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh dear now do i have the willpower to stop myself from buying a kit :S. Another thing ive noticed however on the LCT kits the bolt carrier has a flat part to it. You can see it here bottom right of the pic. Surely thats going to get in the way of a 9.6v stick battery? Edited September 7, 2010 by torN- Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) No I have an lct and a stick will fit in the top, I am actually planning on putting that fore end with the 104 fore end with wood and metal vented top handgaurd on my rpk for longer ops that may go into closer combat. Think it may look to weird??? to have this with this fore end? its not really for a specific impression, its more or so for a mercenary in Africa. What I love about the LCT parts are they are easily removed and interchangeable. its like lego's of death! it would take me all of 10 minutes to switch them out with hopup and all Edited September 7, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
