Don't bother replacing the gears as long as they are metal and the teeth aren't all jacked up. Even generic gears will last a while (Because the plastic piston will strip usually) Make sure they fit the piston teeth, if not (Some castings for the teeth are janky) then replace them with some stock TM gears or even some sportline gears to save money.

Might want to put in a better motor to pull the spring you want to put in-my take!

yeah I would just leave the crap motor until it breaks, and use the stock spring, most clone manufacturers compensate for horrible seal by putting in a strong spring. if you upgrade the parts I listed you will get a pretty decent FPS out of it.

Actually a box with good compression, especially in a v.3 box, an sp90 will net you 330-350.
