I had the same problem with the safety i think the plastic selector parts stretch i put about 1mm of milliput on the end of the selector and this will then engaged safe.
hate bearing bushings on spur and sector gears!! I ALWAYS replace them. had 1 too many experiences with them exploding inside gearboxes. You'd love my We G3 GBBR!! But it has its problems too.
High quality 8mm bearings installed properly, properly packed with grease and with properly shimmed gears will be very reliable, but that's what many do wrong I guess.
@@hakont.4960 we'll have to agree to disagree, my experience with bearing bushings has never been good beyond 6 months to a year if you're lucky. The risk of them exploding inside your gearbox and breaking gears or other things is a risk Im not willing to take. Ive had that happen taking out a bevel gear and pinion (in an Avalon POS). Those bearings are tiny and really aren't supposed to be lubed with grease by ASTM standards. They are meant to be lubed with oil. That's why they use a semi fluid grease in high speed machinery bearings, textile machinery for instance. I have professional expertise in the area of lubrication. I've seen where people over pack them with grease and it just slings and melts all over things. Another CON, they are an open design in airsoft bearings where dirt, grit, and water can get into them and cause failures. I'll stay with solid bushings. You don't really gain much with ball bearings.
@@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947 The performance increase is minor of course, but bearings run a bit smoother. There's of course a big difference between a set of G&P/Kanzen bearings and a set of SHS bearings, you definitely wanna use quality bearings and no smaller than 8mm. My oldest set of bearings is 5 years or so, lost count of the cycles they're gone through, probably several hundred thousands. I obviously wouldn't use bearings in a high powered LMG or DMR or if I built a gun for someone else and got paid for it.
@@hakont.4960 If you wouldnt put them in a gun youd build for someone why put them in your own? I simply shy away from them bc of bad experiences with them. Failures were not due to shimming as I tend to shim a little on the lighter side when using bearings (If I have to use them, ie customer request).. the differences between running "smoother" with them vs with solid bushings I would defy anyone that says they can tell a difference from the outside of the gun as long as the shim job is good. Solid bushings are just a tried and true component. If it aint broke dont fix it.
@@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947 For the same reason I wouldn't build a gun with more than 30 RPS for a "customer", to be on the safe side. I can easily rebuild the gearbox in any of my AEG's if there's a catastrophic failure, but that's not all people have the knowhow and experience to do that. The bearings I use have been supremely reliable, that's why I keep using them, but only if there's room for 8mm bearings. I can tell the difference since I have ears? The difference isn't big, but it's there. I also like the reduced wear on the gear shafts, the slightly higher performance, and also less risk of the bearings spinning in the shell and damaging the gearbox shell. "If it ain't broke don't fix it", that's my philosphy for most things in life, but when it comes to airsoft teching I'm more adventurous. Most of my guns have reasonable performance, but once in a while I like to do something more bonkers. I'm not disagreeing with you about steel bushings being the sensible choice, it's a no-brainer really.
Just curious, what kind of MOSFET and trigger contacts did you use for this gun? The LCT G3 doesn't have any metal on its selector plate or contacts on the outside of its trigger contacts for the plate to engage, so what did you use?
Any info on why the customer decided against the HPA engine after fitting one? I've been meaning to put an F2 in mine (for customization reasons, thumbhole stock and all...) and I don't see a reason to change my plans so far, even though the Internals are fantastic and I've had worse experiences in more expensive products...still could use the gearbox for something else, I reckon.
I to love the g3. Have two TM g3 SAS’s, one early gen and one mid gen. What’s your opinion on the SAS since it’s a fake g3 that to my knowledge was never made and could not be made? I like to think of it as a mp5k that was left at McDonald’s to long
Hi there, I saw the video because I want to make my LCT LC-3 a good DMR, I think it has the potential, but when I saw the video I just get more question than answers, I think you use the same gears as it has from the box, but what about spring? You change the spring? And if so, what spring can u use in the LC-3 to not fuck the gears? You get almost 200 fps just shimming? Please help me out with this Thanks in advance
@@sogerc1 I’ve seen LCTG3 is being used as a bench for a fat man, i’ve seen them be run over by a two tonne off-road jeep. and it still works perfectly with no external damage at all.
@@sogerc1 yh did it? i’m looking at buying something HK and love the build quality and feel of LCT. should i not make the investment, in what way was it crap? i’ve seen air leaks and shit fps through negative airsoft i guess
What do you think about the mosfet ETU Aster from Gate ? Do you think it is a good alternative to the warfet ? or do you think it is as unrelyable as a titan ?
Did your mindset about internal Mosfets change?...I must admit,even i started to switch to internal ones for guns with either limited space,annoying disassembly(hello Scar H)..or the wish to have them as modular as possible@@NegativeAirsoftTech
"Hear that??" Erm.... Nope, between the music and you talking we don't hear much else lol
Yeah, TH-cam smushes up the sound layers at the most frustrating times...
@@NegativeAirsoftTech if it's not too much trouble could you make a list of the parts you had used
@@bubkacarlson9461 He literally said in a video why he doesn't
@@scout9936 And how he is he supposed to know that? dickhead
Got the same problem with safety lever in the exact same gun... Still trying to figure it out. Love your videos!!
Managed to fix the malfunctioning safety by adding a bit of material between the selector plate and the lever thing.
I'll be buying one tomoz , thanks. You've just added a patron

Hi! The DMR FPS limit on my field is 500 fps, do you tihink that properly shimmed stock gears and motor can actually handle sp140?
Cheers!

Very nice. Do G3s not have the hand gaurd sling mount like the HK33 or was this just left off?

3:22 why do you file it like that?
It disperses impact energy reducing the risk of cracking
Is it safe to run those on 11.1v without Mosfet?
No, get a mosfet if you want to run 11.1v with this gun
What do you think about the mosfet ETU Aster from Gate ? Do you think it is a good alternative to the warfet ? or do you think it is as unrelyable as a titan ?
I don't touch internal mosfets... if you fit it yourself, they're great.
If you need somebody to do it for you, go external.

Do you have any GBB Ak recommendations? Also kinda messed up my Ares amoeba, lol do you accept USA customers xD.
Not sure if you already got your answer but GHK makes some of the best GBB AKs
EU only
Ghk aks are amazing. If I were you, take your amoeba to a local tech dont go to a retailer
Looking to get a G3 to DMR- hows the JG one?
Its great as long as you're ok with a plastic body
No
Why have LCT got a bad name recently ? All their guns are like £100 cheaper as well on Patrol base
I didn't hear that but their QC has been going down a bit and other brands like Arcturus or Cyma are rising
Yasss! First!
