A tip for the thread locked piston heads , you can hit a ph2 screw driver with a torch , then stick it down into the piston head screw and with a few seconds , the thread lock will become warm and loose , push it against silicone Matt or your lovely matt there and boom ! Becareful not to hold it too long cause it’ll melt the thread insert out !

[@Solidsnake0208]

Totally get what you’re saying Luke, but since I was a young man I’ve always liked a big rack

Next time you see the kids at the Rspca reptile rescue, tell them phil from jaws n claws sends his love xx I have supported them for years.. most of my animals have come from them xxx love you’re work buddy xx

[@ArchieKeen1]

I think the modify spring guides can have a screwdriver through them too (atleast the v3 I tried) , for another £4 over the shs it’s worth the cost for slightly easier build and less frustration

[@coachster]

For the safety to work with the trigger travel/take up shortened, you can modify the safety arm but shorten it a bit until it clears

[@deaconvelos8352]

That bit at the end was gold! Beautiful snake too, good on you for giving her a forever home

[@Lozart]

Maxx do two different types of trigger - the advanced and the speed. The advanced has an adjustment for length of pull, the speed also has an adjustment for return. If the cutout on the receiver is too short the extra lump on the front of the speed trigger which houses the screw for adjusting the return position gets stuck and causes the problems you had. When faced with it myself, I cut off the chunk at the front and smoothed it off but extending the cutout in the receiver is also an option (or just make sure you don't get the "speed" version of the trigger in the first place). They're decent enough triggers and are nicely made, I find they work better than the standard trigger for Aster/Titan sensors but they are a bit overpriced and I'm not sure they work any better than say a Big Dragon one of a similar style.

[@Lozart]

Also, super glad I watched this vid because a) python, b) subliminal messaging and c) I was going to get a Maxx nozzle but now I'll stick with my Lonex plastic ones!

Tip for the piston bearings. Stack the bearings on the shaft of a screwdriver then put the end of the screwdriver in the hole and slide the bearings down the shaft and into position

[@butters2160]

You can adjust the trigger with the safety if you shave down the safety bar a little

[@0jutai]

That Python's adorable! Gorgeous snake!

A little tip to put the bearings inside the piston. Place the head first, they are normally a snug fit, so they won't need attention. Then, place the whole bearing assembly on the screwdriver, with it aiming UP. Take the piston with the head and place it over the screwdriver like a hat. 95% of the times it will just go straight into the hole and you can tight it up straight away. Let gravity help you ;)

[@mgproryh]

Get yourself a magnetic screw holder. Never lose a screw again. The magnets are really strong too so if youve got a metal table leg you dont even have to keep the screws on your desk and theyl stick on very well even sideways. More desk room that way

[@bronkobrumby776]

Aww she is such a beauty, what a sweet Python girl. My respect for your support of the local sanctuary! Good video, easy explained, specialy for beginners, i guess. Your attitude is very similar to mine, about tech stuff. But i like Maxx triggers and Hop-Units, not such a fan of the other parts.

[@DudaZachary]

Love the videos bro. Been playing for a long time. I don't have the patience to tech, but learning how it's done and how well you explain shit. Job well done. 👏. Just had a tech build a full shs build 13:1, and short stroked 300 fps with .25 with a gate aster, it shoots BEAUTIFULLY. Your videos give me an idea what was done. Bravo!

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

maxx cylinder head paired with retro arms double oring nozzle works great! What hes not telling you kiddies is that with a thinner rack on the piston you have to shim accordingly to get the rack centered on the sector gear as close as you can get. else you'll end up with possible edge wear and mechanical inefficiency.

[@Nater2004]

I can't be the only one who kept thinking of beevus and butthead giggling everytime luke says rack.

Shave down safety bar to fit trigger when adjusted

[@uazfoursixnine]

Hi Luke! Great video... again :) I use metal clips when putting together a gearbox. I made them out of aluminium sheet metal (easy to bend); they work great for holding down the tappet plate, any wires that want to pop out and for holding in the anti reversal latch (you need to make a cut lenght-wize, so it holds it around its axel). I hope it makes your work easier

Just file down the safety bar after you get the trigger pull set. Loctite on the little screws so they don’t fall out and your good to go.

[@generalcorrosive]

Really informative! A few more vids like this and I might actually have the bollocks to crack open my gearbox and attempt a bit of teching. Keep up the good work my dude

[@MrMattumbo]

You should give it a go, it's not hard as long as you take it slow the first time ;) Just gotta be methodical and keep track of where parts go and how you took them apart, after that first experience you'll have the hands-on experience and confidence to do it again without worry.

[@matthewirvine1361]

100% give it a go, it isn't as daunting as it sounds. I've rebuilt my gearbox twice today because I did stuff wrong, but that is part of learning, I now know what to keep an eye out for. Nothings broken and I learned new stuff

[@azb9866]

Saying about G&G gearbox cracking my APS SPYDER electric blowback gearbox broke at the top by the cylinder and along to the spring guide mount... that aps now has a frankenstine gearbox in it

[@ethanbradshaw2500]

Not too long ago I opened up my VFC Avalon to install a Warfet. I was the first to open that gearbox as the proof sticker was still intact. I was very surprisesd to find the sector gear was short-stroked however what I found especially odd was it was the LAST three teeth that were removed rather than the first. Gun shoots fine but surly that must be messing with the timing between the piston and the tappet plate?

[@mercsoul1]

Just because the sticker is intact, doesn’t mean it wasn’t opened. It was just opened by a good tech 😉

[@Solidsnake0208]

You sure the teeth hadn’t just snapped off?

[@ethanbradshaw2500]

@@Solidsnake0208 if so they are the cleanest broken teeth I've ever seen

[@Solidsnake0208]

ethan bradshaw i bought a ptw once and the guy had no idea what was wrong with it. Low power, feeding issues. It was hard to see but the sector gear was slowly stripping teeth, it only had about 7 left! They were such a clean break though it was hard to spot.

[@NegativeAirsoftTech]

[@RuffsTV]

Use the standard g&g trigger and bend the springy contact so it's close to the microswitch. I've tried lots of expensive triggers but none have come close to being as good as the standard with a bent contact.

[@jurajscurok5187]

One advice :D ... dont use maxx model cylider head :D other parts are good especialy trigger which I can say is best one. Any cylinder head with rubber at nozzle side its total shyt which cause gearbox cracking :D

[@Sierra-77]

BEAUTIFUL DANGER NOODLE!

[@isaacshively6705]

I had the same problem with the Maxx trigger on my Krytac HPA build so I went with a Speed trigger and the Maxx nozzles are different lengths

[@happyrobot6396]

I would still glue a rack down even if it was super tight in the piston, just because it lessens the force the back of the piston takes when it is being pulled back

[@melon9680]

Stuck just a Maxx Nozzle in my GC16 and it works perfectly. Only other new parts is an M110 spring, maple leave barrel 6.02 and Madbull flat rubber, yeah I know. But I get around 410fps. And it's not a DMR. Think we have a bit more leniency when it comes to fps in my part of the world.

Great video dude, love the Python 🐍

[@pizzaville7348]

Right on m8, seen all your vids times over and learned so much... have a ball python too, snakes in general (but pythons in particular) are fantastic pets

[@martyx4235]

I wouldn't use a file in order to hold down the spring guide on a particularly stiff or unwieldy spring. Screwdrivers or long screws, by all means. A file is always going to be brittle thanks to the surface hardening and they do not respond well to loads that come perpendicular to the long axis of the file. Worst case scenario, the file snaps in half and you get splinters everywhere.

[@advanceddarkness3]

I have always used a pointy file to hold down the spring guide, they work great. I have installed multiple M170-M190 springs in DSG builds and besides a bent file, zero issues.

[@gelology5514]

You could have probably cut down the safety lever to get a more sensitive trigger with the safe still I have done it before

[@TheWolvesCurse]

there is medium and low strength threadlock from loctite, which i like to use. keeps stuff in place but when i want to undo it, i won't break anything in the process.

[@waitwhatproductions1]

Hey, I've been watching a lot of your videos and I've gotta say this one was awesome and really informative! The CA Nemesis lineup is basically impossible to have a Gate Titan into it (I tried it in a LX-13 PDW) I did try to make a drop in gearbox using a modify Torus GB but that would not fit in the lower reciever. However I did hear that Lonex Gearbox shells work? Thanks for all the good laughs, information and relatability! Keep doing my dude 😉

on the speed trigger safety issue i had the same issue when i converted my g&g 308 to hpa, i filed down the safety arm in the gearbox to the point where it was just barely touching the microswitch also there is a company (maybe airtech i can't be sure) that makes an extension to go on stock g&g triggers to make it into a speed trigger

[@funthingsartillery3563]

I started to tech a bit and i really apreciate all the tips and fine tunes that you show us. I am trying to build a gun from 0 and i got these parts: Big Dragon m160 motor Shs piston / full steel teeth Tornado 13:1 gear set M130 spring ( unknown brand ) Silent mushroom piston head and cylinder head. 60 % Cylinder The question is a delicate one, i want to take 3 teeth out of the rack and the sector gear and i wonder how much fps/ ms will drop that, can i lower the spring instead , getting a m120 instead ? Of course this question is applying in normal condition, nice hopup chamber and a good piston air seal. My target is to get around 1.2 joules .

[@funthingsartillery3563]

My reason is to not get PMA from this because the piston head is kid of heavy and to get a much snapy trigger

[@NegativeAirsoftTech]

It's dependant on spring brand, the parts inside... You can be more precise with tooth removal but I prefer it for speeding up the cycle time on semi

[@WazheadBoci]

I like that you saying you don't need to buy all the expensive crap out there :) most guys failing into the expensive = great trap.

[@andrewcallahan8073]

$50 the nozzle alignment was off which buggered the fps. I will say, max products in general seem good, but not worth the price compared to others unless you want the tracer in the hop up or like the style of triggers

Best thing I've heard all week, "fuckers and fuckerets"

[@j05h90]

short strokeing increases trigger response and rate of fire

[@robp418]

It increases trigger response but I doubt the rof increase is noticeable. I can see it gaining a little bit of rps because the motor doesn’t have to work against the spring as hard, but it’s probably not much.
