Airsoft PolarStar Jack 1.1 Installation

[@ForOdin]

I HIGHLY recommend removing the bushings, I didn’t initially, and one of them fell out mid game, and jammed the trigger in the pulled position

[@VORT3XZZ]

so do you remove them permanently? im gonna hpa one of my aegs

[@ForOdin]

@@VORT3XZZ you can reinstall them if you want to go back to AEG, though I don’t know why you’d want to do that, once you go HPA it’s hard to go back, the trigger response is near instantaneous, and the tune ability is near infinite without any extra parts

[@JasonFolk07]

There so easy to install a heads upto some if you put a piece of electrical tape on the bottom of the gearbox when the mag fits in toThat will help line up the nozzle if you have issues. I tech evrything if you have questions just shoot :) ... also i recommend getting a different grip line theres suck after awhile i switch my to filtered wolverine line

[@shakejones]

Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

[@airsoftmechanic]

Thanks for watching!

[@keywerd6403]

this is defo gonna work im doing a build series (not recording it just seeing what i can do) with a lancer gen 2 and have never seen a hpa lancer so wanted to do so and this is gonna help allot fam💯💯

[@FalloutProto]

Just an addition; you DO NOT need the cutoff lever!

[@airsoftmechanic]

Aye. Aye. Who let the ATF in here?!

[@charliebossowski-w8l]

One thing i feel you should have mentioned was how you needed to file down the selector plate to prevent the back trigger board switch from getting popped off, overall great guide though!

[@airsoftmechanic]

That was something I didn’t do until a year later…whoops

[@AJ-sy1fz]

Great video brother

[@airsoftmechanic]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@Mr_Cheese34]

im gonna buy this because it looks may more reliable than a motor in my opinion im not sure but all i know is that it looks like there is way less moving parts

[@airsoftmechanic]

Can confirm it’s much more reliable

[@darkshock42mlg05]

Do keep in mind if you aren't using a V2 gearbox you need to know how to solder because most will use the original contacts. That's why if you aren't doing this on a V2 or v3 if you aren't good at soldering have a professional do it but it's a good skill to have.

[@jamesspencer4216]

my trigger wont connect to the fire button on the trigger board and i dont know how to make to where it stays in place

[@aidenknowles3776]

What does the jack come with? I need to know if I need to buy the air line and the connector thingy separate?

[@airsoftmechanic]

Aiden Knowles at 1:00 I go over everything that it comes with. Everything else beyond that is separate, especially the fitting needed

[@JasonFolk07]

Aiden it comes with the line but you have to buy the qd fitting. Imo just buy an amped line or wolverine one it's fixed right to the line so no leaks over time !

[@leokuklok834]

Duct tape the trigger to your work surface. Prevents it from moving and popping out of place. Little trick I came up with.

[@airsoftmechanic]

Leo Kuklok Work smarter. Not harder. I like it!

[@unjustbat907]

A question did put the fire selector switches

[@keywerd6403]

this is defo gonna work im doing a build series (not recording it just seeing what i can do) with a lancer gen 2 and have never seen a hpa lancer so wanted to do so and this is gonna help allot fam💯💯 edit: writing this i looked over in my suggestions and there was a lancer hpa speed build lmaoooo

[@creedmoorgaming7503]

What gearbox are you using In this video? I tried installing a jack into my Arcturus and there’s a dumb micro switch controller that takes away the safety switch and adds pins in the way. Do you know if the cyma sport gearbox would work?

[@airsoftmechanic]

This is a Cybergun V2 gearbox. Seeing that the CYMA Sport looks the same, I would say yes

[@spartanrasul2260]

Hello! Can someone please write me a difference between jack 1.0 and 1.1 versions? I can’t get to facebook, post seems deleted :(

[@Ron1nAirsoft]

Yo man. I cannot get my wiring harness into the plug ins at all on the FCU on the board. I’m not sure why but even with a massive level or force they are not housing right. None of the pins are bent, any ideas?

[@airsoftmechanic]

The port on the FCU, and the connector on the harness are shaped to where they should only work 1 way. You shouldn’t have to force it in. If all fails, contact PolarStar

[@Ron1nAirsoft]

@@airsoftmechanic How far is it supposed to go in? all the way? Mine only goes in about half way.

[@airsoftmechanic]

@@Ron1nAirsoft Yes it should be all the way in

[@Exogura123]

Helloo i just got my first m4 airsoft what do you recommend on a first upgrade?

[@airsoftmechanic]

Generally people would start with changing out the hop up, hop up bucking and inner barrel. But It all depends. Like if you’re using it for indoors or outdoors, you may need different springs.

[@wanted_nathen]

When you’re playing with a P* Jack, do you have to keep the fcu and the battery in while you’re playing or take it out?

[@airsoftmechanic]

Yes, the battery and FCU have to be connected in order for the Jack to work

[@wanted_nathen]

thank you 🙏

Its a speed trigger

[@airsoftmechanic]

Exposed

[@amymathews-muttwill7733]

Do you think the polarstar jack is worth it still? I'm wanting to get into hpa, and I want to do it as cheap as possible. I didn't know if I should just save up more money to get the f2 or not.

[@airsoftmechanic]

To me it’s worth it since there are less moving parts in a Jack. The F2 is bigger than the Jack, and allows for more precise tuning. Though it costs more. It’s personal preference, but to me the Jack is definitely worth it. Still running it to this day with little to no issues

[@amymathews-muttwill7733]

@@airsoftmechanic Thank you. I’ve been getting mostly this response from people but some people also say it’s outdated and stuff.

[@airsoftmechanic]

@@amymathews-muttwill7733 I think even if it was outdated, it shouldn't matter

[@sunkencartoon77]

Hello is the Jack interchangeable between v3 and v2 gearboxes? Thanks.

[@airsoftmechanic]

If I’m not mistaken, it’s possible. You’d need a V3 trigger board, and the right nozzle length

[@sunkencartoon77]

@@airsoftmechanic ok thanks

can u put a polar star into a aeg?

Wasnt that a quickchange spring? 💀 you can remove the spring and tension with the gearbox closed

[@airsoftmechanic]

Ce2 No, it's not quick change. Wish it was though lolol

[@rustyshackelford9311]

I noticed you failed to mention and show you removed the safety selector on the inside of the gear box to get the trigger board to sit in there. Why?

[@airsoftmechanic]

Rusty Shackelford Hey there! Took me a bit to figure this one out. I have all the footage saved and unfortunately I used the wrong clip. I have the footage of where it was removed and I used the one where it was still attached. So it was an editing flaw on my end

[@rustyshackelford9311]

@Airsoft Mechanic lol all good I figured it out

[@JEA2]

Can you do this with a stock m4 gearbox?

[@airsoftmechanic]

DreamStatesOf_Mars As long as it’s a V2 gearbox, yes

[@gianhaas8656]

Does this work on every m4 like gun ?

Not all. It works with most M4 Version 2 gearboxes

[@shockedas]

Hey man, I know I'm late but I'm having issues, was wondering if you could help. The screw that screws in the trigger board in place isnt screwing in, It looks like it lines up and its long enough but its just not going in, Do you think you have any solutions? If you know any other screws that'll work, please let me know, thank you.

[@airsoftmechanic]

ShockedPB If it’s the same screw you unscrewed, it should be able to fit

[@shockedas]

@@airsoftmechanic Turns out the screw isn't long enough. I did some questionable work with the board and now it lines up although the screw is not long enough and I now have to Dremel the gearbox because the threads go in deeper than I thought. Thank you though.
