Everything Wrong With Krytac, According To A Krytac Fanboy

[@TheAirsoftTech]

Good video. My thoughts: The MOSFET discharge limit is sort of BS. I've taken the Krytac mosfet, which is a 3034 mosfet, out of the Krytac and installed it into a DSG build. I ran a 70c discharge 11.1v through the mosfet with no issues. Gun still works to today, IIRC. I've done this many times. The absence of a sector delay chip is a legit issue. No joke, the first Krytac I used would not feed until I installed a sector delay chip. The overuse of thread lock is insane. I stripped a gearbox screw the other day because of it. I don't like micro switches because the gearbox shell they're designed to fit in won't accept Spectres or Chimeras lol

[@hakont.4960]

Of course the mosfet isn't, the motor brushes will melt before you reach the current limit of a 3034 mosfet. I don't like tappet delayer chips, for me they have caused more issues than they have fixed. In high ROF setups they can actually cause air seal issues because the tappet plate is pulled back too early in the piston cycle. Krytac seems like KWA all over again to me...

[@Luke-bj8mr]

[@isaacshively6705]

Well the M-Lok versions out now don't have captive body pins or a micro switch trigger but they have a higher rates mosfet and the PDW-M I got comes with a new CNC air nozzle with a o-ring and comes wired to deans out of the box and supposedly they are gonna start fazing those changes into their other models oh yeah and on all the M-Lok models they changed to a buffer tube screw that goes through into the gearbox to fix the receiver cracking issue

[@donkeydefense]

Douglas Robertson I know right

[@Xterraforce]

It's nice to see an honest review like this from someone who likes and uses Krytacs enough to know what's good and what isn't in the long run. Most name brand AEGs are good for the right out of the box reviews most people do. Long term use reviews are so much more informative. By the way, which Sightmark optic you had that failed? Just asking because I have one on a real AR15 and haven't had any issues with it. Maybe it's one of those cases where quality is hit or miss and I got lucky.

[@swoot7373]

I like how you did this because I was looking to get a KRYTAC but every video was just things that where good and I would like to know what is bad about them

[@kand198]

If I recall correctly, you can get the mk1 lower receivers direct from Krytac, if you were to contact their sales or support team. I don't understand how the MOSFET can burn out, it's just a standard 3034, which should work with 14.8v batteries. MOSFETs can't cause overspin. Having a high discharge battery combined with a strong motor (like the Krytac 30k) and a relatively weak spring (even a worn m120 spring can have this problem) causes overspin. Overspin can be fixed by upgrading your spring and then ssing to get back to the FPS and ROF you had previously, or getting a lower discharge battery or a lower torque motor. I would personally get a prommy m120 which will not wear down as quickly, as this is the easiest solution. AB is another solution, but seems to be a controversial topic in the teching community. Bear in mind, I'm a new tech, but I've learnt enough to sound smart on the internet. I also am not a Krytac fanboy. I live outside of the US, and while I'd love to try one out, when it breaks replacement parts are going to be an absolute pain to get, so I've decided to just build myself a custom TM compatible rifle. I know you probably already know everything outlined above, but I think it's useful for someone who is considering Krytac who watches this video to know. If I've said anything incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it. Great work on the videos, keep it up!

[@flamedance58]

It's funny cause when ppl mention it not handling more than 15c...as mosfets for the most part aren't strict to the #c. It's typical something of a range and not a specific max number. Airsoftology talked about burning out your gun via strong battery and for the most part unless you stick a 50c+ into it you won't see much trouble. Though it might put more stress on the stock parts but most ppl upgrade the internals eventually.

[@kand198]

Richard Yuen Yea, the 15c rating for Krytacs come from the 20A limit which if you go over you can blow your fuse (or should blow your fuse, cus it's a 20A fuse) and if you get close to it you'll get overspin if you have a weaker spring than an m120. With typical airsoft form factor batteries you'll be safe with a 15c discharge rate because they have a low capacity, but some of the 20c lipos you can fit into a Krytac will cause you problems. Of course, if you have a stock mk2 and an 11.1v say 40c you won't have any problems unless you upgrade the spring which will cause your motor to draw more current so your fuse will pop, or if you downgrade your spring you will get overspin. If you want to drop your FPS and use a higher discharge lipo you should look at shortstroking, or replace your Mosfet with an AB one and then change the spring. And that's the complete guide to Lipo batteries in a Krytac, Written by Keith Anderson.

[@IanLeary]

Hey, if those rounds on the box mag are real, the links make it technically a weapon magazine. Be careful not to have more than 10 rounds connected, otherwise it becomes a high capacity magazine, thus illegal under the NY SAFE Act.

Super late comment, but you should do reviews in this manner every time. This was great to hear. With all the sponsored airsoft content creators, it's hard to get seriously thorough feedback on a product. We need more channels that have experience with the inner machinations of airsoft guns to present objective information, not "Look what I just got for free that just came out. Ooh yeah shiny bling bling, heres all the information you can find on retailer websites, shoot it for you a few times, then put it away and never release a long-term use follow-up video."

[@CodyOnTheGo]

[@WhatIsTheWheel]

When the screws are thread locked, heat them up and it will soften the threadlocker. You can do it with a soldering gun to keep from heating the parts around the screw and you don't need to get them smoking hot.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Yup, works like a charm.

[@ryanschembri4139]

literally stripped the forward hex lock on the receiver the first time i tried opening it

[@nickharrison211]

I agree with everything especially the hex body pins. I've seen 3 krytacs mosfets burn out and my brother just recently dropped his krytac and the lower broke in the exact spot you mentioned.

[@callsignvail9020]

[@wigglesflyfishing2776]

I have bought brand new VFC mcx, krytacl mk2 trident crb and an OCAW umbrella. MCX lasted 2 months of weekend play, krytac lasted 4, umbrella lasted 6.5. All gearboxes failed. So, I bought a polarstar jack for the krytac, Sold the Umbrella and tore the MCX apart. I then bought an MTW and all my problems went away and my K/D ratio went through the roof

[@e1357]

The reason the Krytacs overspin is because the motor has 16 turns per armature, and is comparable to a SHS high torque motor. Also, the neodymium motor's magnets are sup par, which increases the amount of overspin. A motor with stronger magnets and tpa will help.

[@jt6651]

I totally agree I have one the first batch krytac mk1 crb too the biggest issue I've had is the pistol grip and the buffer tube screw which I just now replaced with there replacement because the old metal one was so cheaply made it crack all over for just shouldering the weapon great video! Definitely a needed one at that👍🏻

[@Krapper515]

The new M-Lok versions have officially fixed the lower receiver issue.

[@lacrosseguy108]

ive worked in tool shops using the hex screws, ive noticed if its a socket head cap screw they are good and rarely strip but the button head cap screws like on the krytac usually always strip after being in for some time, sometimes even after the first time tightening the screw they just cant handle the pressure of loosening and strip or the head snap right off the threads

[@Psychosurgeonpls]

for a 350$ gun, if it doesn't come with deans then that makes me question the company

[@Solidsnake0208]

How about lack of recoil/blowback and anti dry fire? Tokyo Marui really lead the race with these features. Seriously the best the could do is a $1 mosfet? No trigger ecu with full cycle completion?

[@jamesmatthewthomas2758]

one of the biggest reasons I will not get a krytac right now, is because I already custom the internals of all my guns I dont care about the krytac gearbox so what I look for is externals. I want fully billet style receivers with fully ambidextrous controls. Only 2 companies have done this G&P MOTS system and the G&G metal SRL. until krytac offers a fully ambidextrous billet receiver with a full trigger mosfet and dean plugs I wont give them the light of day.

[@brandonbennett7865]

If anything, make the screws square bit because they have the least chance at striping out

[@davidnilsson7736]

[@WhiskyBeard]

I think in a few years Modify will be putting out their XTC line and getting better sales than Krytac. All of the great features of the G1 were kind of nullified by the extra work that needed done to the gun before it was fielded (wrong hop-up bucking, wires coming undone, etc).

[@SirClicks.]

So I’m a krytac fan boy too, I have some complaints as well. First, the pain chips pretty easy. Second, there is a wire guide in the gearbox that is in the way of a polarstar micro switch and is hard to shave.

The Loctite is a easy fix just heat up the nut with a heat gun to +-200 C and the Loctite will loosen up. I use that method working on cars so I bet it woks on airsoft riffles to

[@ILikeKoreanGirls]

My LMG enhanced does have the lower receiver split as well but thankfully no cracking in the receiver. I agree with you that the box mag is quirky but maybe because I have no experience with other box mags, it doesn't bother me. I wasn't aware of the 15c thing, kind of sucks because all my 11.1's are 20c but I go back and forth between 7.4 and 11.1 because with the 7.4 it feels like a more realistic rate of fire.

[@DaBrock6]

Ugh I wish I could hid the extended outer barrel for my krytac spr.... I love the way it shoots but man that outer barrel I'm slowly hating every day. Good gun never the less.

i agree 110% with you about what you said in the video. i had the most problems with my 1st gen krytac. dont get me wrong i love krytac but if they could just fix those minor things it would make the gun a whole lot better. i did everything i could to the gun to fix all the issues and yet i still encounter the issues i just fixed. i went to an op and thought i had fixed my feeding issues but yet i still had them and i also changed mags i went from epm mags to kwa and so on and still had feeding issues after installing the chip into it hoping it would fix that problem and my mosfit burned out on me also.

[@speedking700]

the best upgrade you can buy for the krytac kriss vector is IKEA screws, no joke, I striped all of the stock screws that are in the gearbox and I used the right tools for it, it was like unscrewing screws made out of butter, even the ones without thread glue were making my life miserable

[@greatbritishairsoft3374]

My first Krytac experience was a disaster. After hearing how godly these airsoft guns were I decided to get myself one. I paid around 450.00$ which included some magazines. Upon using it, the BBs were flying out to 30 feet and not more. The hop-up had no effect on the trajectory of the BB. Had to submit a RMA and sent back to Evike for a full refund. I dont know what the fuss is all about, they are overpriced crap in my opinion.

[@JSKROX]

Okay I have one huge gripe with all of airsoft, a lot of people say "Oh don't go over 15C discharge rate" or "You can only use up to 20C discharge on your lipo if you want longevity." Do people not understand that the C rating isn't the same as discharge? Discharge rate is equal to the C times Amperage. Like a 1000 mAh 15C lipo has a discharge rate of 15. A 2000 mAh 15C lipo has a discharge rate of 30. Twice the amount, yet still the same C rating. Get the difference? Alright rant over sorry if I grinded your gears in that paragraph.

[@hakont.4960]

You have to remember that many people are in fact quite stupid and/or too lazy to do 5 minutes of research on anything.

[@JSKROX]

you are correct sir. but the thing is that even the companies do it!

[@hakont.4960]

That's so that they can get away with using sub-par components and a way to limit the warranty on their product. Of course it isn't right, but I guess they have to keep cost down somehow.

[@chrislengyel3763]

Great video, have you guys tried heat to loosen the threadlock? Either a hair dryer or a heat gun should provide enough heat to allow the presumed red loctite to release. Put it back together with blue loctite after cleaning the bolts with acetone.
