what do you think?? I found a TM gearbox on WGC, but UNco has a guarder FTK for a G36.......and the tune up is cheaper......ideas??
New Gearbox or FTK??

your gearbox is durable for a long ass time if its TM.
guitardedJul 13, 2006 5:51am
ya i should have mentioned that its a CA........i dont want it to break and be screwd......id rather just upgrade it.
Chase42Jul 13, 2006 5:54am
stick with the TM gearbox.
GuestJul 13, 2006 5:56am
Yeah Oakland aex guy and everyone I know and reviews tell me that CA version 3 gearboxes suck more then version 2, so +1 to chase....
GuestJul 13, 2006 6:00am
you have a version 3 CA gearbox in your gun as of now if its a g36, and I don't know when they came out, i just know from people that it sucks major a$$ a lot of the time next to version 2 and TM and or systema gearboxes.

Ver3 is just the design of the gearbox. Not the 3rd revision or anything. But ya, the ver3 CA gearboxes have been plagued with problems for a while. Bushings arent too fantastic, and CA refuses to use good materials in the switch assembly.

ok, CA's gearboxes are copies of TM's, and the version 3 came out after the 2. The TM version 3 is stronger than the 2, though not as reinforced as either of the CAs.

this would have been the one to get...
Chase42Jul 13, 2006 3:47pm
you might want to get a new motor, too, like a TM EG1000 or an Eagle Force EF1100. I think the G36 uses short motors?
guitardedJul 13, 2006 3:51pm
ya snoopy, thats what i was looking at...........if i just got that, and a m110 and a tightbore.....would that put me at 400fps consistently???

Here is just my 2 cents. Spend a little more and get the systema gear box. You wouldn't have to upgrade anything. From what I can tell their bad as$ at a reasonable price.

If it was me, Id buy the TM box and an eagle force motor, and have AEX install new bushings and a spring.

After a new motor, upgrades, and installation, it'll probably run you close to the same amount. Systema gearboxes supposedly have great factory shim jobs, but I can't varify that.
Chase42Jul 14, 2006 5:49am
cylinder set and an M120. You might want new bushings too, that is if you are talking about getting this instead of a TM box.
guitardedJul 14, 2006 4:54pm
ok, so your saying that if i have a m120, new cylinder set, and bushings, with my CA gearbox, it will be fine??
woodencow55Jul 14, 2006 5:18pm
I am not sure about Ver 3 CA boxes, but when people replace the cylinder parts with metal replacements on a Ver 2 CA, their gearbox with break very soon afterward becuase the cylinder head holding extrusions have bad positional tolerence.

Id just get the new TM shell, like I said earlier, and here are my reasons:

CA shells are fine, spence broke his because he was running a heavy spring with an aluminum piston head, and didnt press the anti-reversal latch before he opened it up. Also you left out Whining motor, and a funky hop up
