Has anybody had experience with the G&G MOD5? Specifically, this - www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=31813How are the internals and externals of the replica? Are there any parts of the MOD5 that should be replaced, because the stock part is horrible? Also, I know that many people say that it is not necessary to upgrade G&G combat machine's at all; but, what would it take to make this replica "lipo-ready". Thanks in advance. |

All stock guns should be re-shimmed, greased, and have the AOE and motor height corrected. For me, it's standard procedure for a new gun, and a necessity. A MOSFET is the next highest priority after those things have been taken care of. Do that, and pretty much any gun is "lipo-ready."
As for the parts themselves: The barrels that come in the combat machines are probably the worst I've ever seen in a stock gun. The gears aren't great but not completely worthless, may as well use them until they break before putting in some JG (XYT), SHS, or Siegeteks. G&G pistons are known to be weak, so expect that to go fairly quickly, especially on a lipo. If you don't correct the AOE, you will rip the rear part of the piston off in short order. I can't speak for the externals, but that about covers the internals.

Ike covered that pretty well. Only thing I would add, would be deans connectors. Your tamiyas will melt together, deans have much lower resistance.
You will get a little better trigger response and ROF.

Thanks, guys. Do you know of any respectable MOSFET's that someone can link to? I've never tinkered with the wiring of AEG's.

I'd say go with a Hunterseeker Armory or Extreme-Fire FET. And like Njn said, deans. Not sure how I forgot that.

Alrighty, thanks. Just wondering, what do deans connectors provide better than other connectors, such as tamiya connectors? And, what exactly does changing the area of engagement provide?

Deans offers a lower resistance connection (less resistance = more voltage = slightly higher ROF and less heat)
AOE increases the amount of surface area the gears engage on thus reducing the wear. Imagine stabbing someone with a fork and with a spoon. Forks have less AOE thus they do more damage. Not really a techinically accurate analogy but you get the idea. The force is distributed across more area on the tooth of the gear.

Thank you, X. I just opened my gearbox for the first time and While taking out the gears, I noticed a couple of tiny washers (?) laying flat, on top of the spur gear. Is this normal?

No, X. ANGLE of engagement is the angle at which the sector gear picks up the piston. Ideally you want this to be at about 90°. It has nothing to do with the amount of tooth contact.
Basic, those are shims.

Do shims ever come stock in a gearbox? By the way, I have an Echo 1 V2 gearbox.

Sorry for such a late response, BUT I had that same exact gun (the G&G limited edition Mod5,) and I sold it to my friend strictly because I got it out of a mystery box and I do not like Mp5's. The gun has, however, proven to perform extremely well. My friend has not upgraded it at all, and still loves using it for CQB.
Hope this might help!
