@@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
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
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?
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💯💯
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!
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 !
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
my jack dosnt fit into any three of my gearbox im having trigger board fitment issues. whats a gearbox that will just drop in no modifing? besiesd the retro arms not tryna drop $105 on just a gearbox
My safety lever doesn’t have the spring. It just kind of sits there. No i didn’t loose the spring. I took a picture of the gearbox before I took anything out and there wasn’t a spring. Is that fine or do I need to do something about it?

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 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.
Jesus loves you all and he died for our sins! Turn to him today!

@@htxvandal5760 Yes but keep in mind we’re not saved by works. Good works are signs that tend to happen after salvation. But yes faith without deeds is dead.
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
so do you remove them permanently? im gonna hpa one of my aegs

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

Just an addition; you DO NOT need the cutoff lever!
Aye. Aye. Who let the ATF in here?!
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!
That was something I didn’t do until a year later…whoops
What does the jack come with? I need to know if I need to buy the air line and the connector thingy separate?
Aiden Knowles at 1:00 I go over everything that it comes with. Everything else beyond that is separate, especially the fitting needed
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 !
A question did put the fire selector switches
I have ecs pxg by classic army and it dose not fit for some reason,help?
What part of it is not fitting?

@@Ron1nAirsoft Yes it should be all the way in

Can confirm it’s much more reliable
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 :(
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?
Yes, the battery and FCU have to be connected in order for the Jack to work
thank you 🙏

Hello is the Jack interchangeable between v3 and v2 gearboxes? Thanks.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s possible. You’d need a V3 trigger board, and the right nozzle length
@@airsoftmechanic ok thanks

Probably a g&g gb
did you get the right engine for your gun?
@@nsd_lighting1027 yeah it ended up being the gear box the 4th one I ordered was a cheap lancer tac one from hop up for perfect
Duct tape the trigger to your work surface. Prevents it from moving and popping out of place. Little trick I came up with.
Leo Kuklok Work smarter. Not harder. I like it!
Does this work on every m4 like gun ?
Not all. It works with most M4 Version 2 gearboxes
can u put a polar star into a aeg?
Ethan Varela Yes
Thats what a v2 gearbox is

@@airsoftmechanic I just found one with a spring on evike for like $5
@@Copper_07 Would recommend getting it. The spring is needed as you wouldn't want any loose moving parts inside
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?

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