Hey guys. I recently upgraded my gearbox to around 525 FPS, and need some help and advice about use and longevity.
I purchased a CA SVD, and was a little disappointed by its stock performance. Usually I leave most of my guns below 400fps, as I see no reason to upgrade further, but I figured I would give 500+ a go, do to the fact that the CA SVD FTK is only $56!!
The long and short of it is, I have successfully installed this kit, but am now worried about longevity of the gearbox, and the batteries necessary to turn over the motor with so high a spring.
I have re-shimmed the Gearbox, and it appears to be ok.
It currently can turn over with a 9.6 mini battery
HOWEVER.
The Gearbox is LOUD, and has a strong kick, which is to be expected.
Is there any danger of the GB shell going out on me? Other than the increased wear by so high a spring? And if so, what can be done to aleviate it?
Would sorbothane pads help?
and secondly,
I was planning to use the
Tenergy-7-4V-2S-25C-900mAh-Lipo-E-Flite-Blade-CX2-

with deans to power this rifle, and was wondering if that would be adequate, and if not, what would you guys recommend as far as batteries go.
Thanks very much for your time, and hopefully, your help.
I may be a good airsoft tech, but I am new to this High FPS ballgame
Any links to good high FPS topics would be great, but please give an opinion on the battery as well if you can.
