Yes. The pitch of the teeth on ICS gears is much sharper than anyone else's. You'll end up chewing up your pinion gear otherwise.

Yep, I read that somewhere. Thanks!

Progress so far is just the new spring is in. I tried it for kicks to see if the Turbo 2000 could even cycle and it couldn't. It might be my battery though... I've been meaning to get new ones for a while. Hopefully the EG1000 will cycle but that won't be in until tomorrow at the earliest.

Would a Tenergy 8.4V 1400mah battery cut it for the EG1000 + M120? I know the battery life will be poorer with this upgrade so I'm prepared to buy 2 of them.

Does anyone know how to change the pinion gear without a gear tool?

Go to a hobby shop. I bought a pinion puller for $15, and changed many pinions with it.

I made a tool to re-install the pinion so that you apply all the force to the shaft when you hammer it on.

Alright, big update! I installed everything except the motor and hooked up a 9.6V battery and it DIDN'T explode on me! I'm currently looking for someone with a pinion puller in Calgary to help me out. The Turbo 2000 doesn't seem to be doing a bad job of pulling the spring.

The only bad news is I have lost semi auto. I think the cut off lever has some issues which I will try Renegade's method of fixing.

Funny dpvu, the ics m4 I upgraded also lost the semi auto. I already changed the switch assembly and its still not working. It can be the cutoff lever since that's the only thing I can think of that I have not upgraded in that gearbox.

Airborne said he has about 3 cutoff levers from old broken gearbox but he just needs to find it since he just moved.

or.........its something else and somebody here can point it out!!!!

Check my other thread. I actually got semi auto back now (re-opened the box to re-shim) but now my BBs are just rolling out of the barrel :S. I have no idea what to do... The sound is nice and crisp, just can't shoot BBs.

EDIT: I think I did what this guy did: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthr...Rolling+Barrel

Yep, fixed it this morning. M4 is shooting hard and fast!

Thanks everyone! As for the semi problem, I think it's the selector plate not moving all the way back to semi now because if I go back into safe from full then semi, I'll have semi auto. Can't be bothered to open it again for now anyways.
