Sebgun Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the end result? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikon Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 ... but after cutting a sliver off the end of my hop-up rubber and adding a strip to the top I get fantastic performance out of my hop-up. I think I get it. The extra rubber allows the hop up nub to push down further into the barrel, correct? Â I agree with Lefty though on the quality thing. Most reasons people post is to discuss problems. Even considering 93+ pages on this thread, it's likely not something that's widespread. I've been impressed with the external quality and design of the AEG. The internals aren't too bad either. If you like it, buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeftyFlip Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Nikon had the right idea. I put a madbull bucking on and I could tell the actual nub wasn't getting good contact, by cutting about a millimeter off the end the rubber fit farther onto the barrel.

I put a madbull bucking on and I could tell the actual nub wasn't getting good contact, by cutting about a millimeter off the end the rubber fit farther onto the barrel. Â Hmmm. I was actually thinking the "adding a strip to the top..." gave the nub a thicker part of the bucking in the area of contact therefore giving it more to push down on. So all you did was cut off a millimeter toward the front of the barrel and the nub worked better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ericfine50 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I was wondering what guys are using for springs? I took the stock spring out and noticed it is much smaller than the stock Madbull 120 spring. Are people just cutting springs down? Or using a specific spring? Â Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikon Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I've been using a 120 and 100 until I get a 110 in my next parts order. The 100 works well and the 120 seems to be heating the motor up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeftyFlip Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I did both, I didn't test in between to see which helped more. I'm assuming the strip on top would be fine for most people, my bucking just didn't fit well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmg9194 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=7855 Â PDI W Hold bucking now in stock at ASGI, go get one guys. You will not be disappointed. Â They increased the accuracy in my masada at 170 feet from like 3-4 foot spread to about 7 inches, not to mention my hop needed to use a .25 went from all the way and needing more to about 1/3 on all the way.

Megalomaniac Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Fixed the micro switch and power issue, power was a worn piston head oring, and microswitch worked again after re-assembely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nikon Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Nikon - is it a Madbull spring? Did you cut the spring down? Â Not a Madbull spring. The 100 is a Modify and the 120 is an AirsoftGI special. I did not cut either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took the stock spring out and noticed it is much smaller than the stock Madbull 120 spring. Are people just cutting springs down? Or using a specific spring?  Thanks  Have you noticed there's a quite big spacer/weight inside piston.  I removed that, cause I replaced the piston head (using head with bearing by Modify)  Btw, has anyone tried to replace cylinder head? I was thinking to try G36C/AUG head... there's not much difference in length (I'm also using Wii Tech nozzle) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a super shooter azimuth clone with 7 metal teeth and riotsc revolution gen.2 version 2 gears and apparently they aren't wanting to go, needing modification.

Wondering if it's just a common type that can be replaced easily, for that day when it comes. Â Here you go. I was having trouble after adding a AWS Sentry. The problem wasn't the Sentry, but likely the micro switch or more specifically my crappy soldering job on the switch contacts which I corrected. Â Found this part on Digikey. The rating isn't quite as high, but looks like it would work. Â http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=480-3183-ND Â I also noticed a little nick in one of the signal wires. I added a little shrink wrap around the wire there to reinforce. Seems to be firing well now. Also added a different piston and piston head. Much quieter now. Â Note this was an upgrade on my part. Stock the AEG fired fine. Edited March 29, 2011 by Nikon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though, mine is made by Modify. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/shs-steel-cylinder-head-for-g36-aeg-long-type-nozzle.html The piston I have has one teeth removed and fits very well with Riot gears. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/shs-full-steel-14-teeth-piston.html  I think the shimming of Riot spur gear is a bit tricky. It can be shimmed quite easily too tight. Edited March 29, 2011 by rautasami Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nikon Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've been upgrading my internals over the past week. I was having trouble with the motor getting hot which turned out to be some binding as spur gear was pushing the piston past the last tooth. I also added some padding to the cylinder head and adjusted the AOE. Â I'm really interested if that AUG/G36 head will work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diamond Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Was there ever a solution found for a non functioning hopup ? I tried changing the bucking and still no results. The hopup is working , looked at it with the barrel removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buy either a PDI W Hold Bucking or KWA 2GX Bucking, I prefer and recommend the PDI. I have it and under half way on hops a .25 perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Both of these seem to work great , from the reviews, but it still doesn't solve the problem of the hopup not functioning. There must be some people out there with hopups that work fine, I was looking for more of a solution to figure what is wrong with the ones that are malfunctioning and fix it.

Â May not know the situation, I could barely hop a .2 before I replaced the bucking with the PDI one. This may be the problem they are having. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
