Mechbox?
 
Im thinking about getting this Mechbox,http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper...3_cat_Gearboxs

Im low on cash, so this is what I want, so I got some questions:

Has anyone tried Cyma Mechboxes?
How long do they last?
What's is the average FPS?
How long does WGC take to restock items?
Will it work with an SD6?

I have had many CYMA guns, only good ones were the AK's, so that means they are shit

They don't last long, but you may get lucky and get a good one

FPS is about 330 to 370 some were in between there

It can be along time before WGC restocks

And it should work in a SD6

And Just a heads up, from what I have heard and seen lately Mechboxes have been getting seized, so if you can buy one in Canada.

You get what you pay for. That will not be good, most likely, and it will most likely not last.

RaisinBran July 27th, 2009 21:55

Hmm..I just want to get a Mechbox into my SD6, know any sites where there better ones preferably under $50?

ujiro July 27th, 2009 21:55

No. As I stated, you get what you pay for. If that is your strict strict budget, then sure go for it. You can replace parts later as they fail. Or, you can make due with what you have right now, and save up for something quality. You won't regret it.

if you get a cyma/dboy one , just be sure to reshim it PROPERLY, clean the grease and regrease with good grease and you'll have a nice mechbox for the price. maybe metal bushings if you have the monney but it's not absolutely required...

Okay, thanks I got one more question, I may need a new lower receiver because since i'm not familiar with the MP5 series (it's a cheap clone btw but TM compatible) I think the lower receiver is missing a few things:

If i'm correct there should be something on the motor plate (plastic piece in the right) and there should be something in the lower receiver but im not sure.http://i28.tinypic.com/n3pv05.jpg

The motor plater should have an adjustment screw for proper motor tension. You'd have to get a replacement for that as well or your new gearbox will chew the crap out to the bevel gear and the pinion gear.

Styrak July 27th, 2009 22:18

What do you mean "there should be something" ?
Be more specific.

RaisinBran July 27th, 2009 22:18

Hmm, so the only thing i need to get is a new motorplate? cause I just finished watching the MP5j video on the Mechbox website, and it shows there are two screws you need to screw on inside the receiver.

lemegacool July 27th, 2009 22:22

omg , you have a REALLY cheap well mp5... the mechbox you had must be this one... http://www.import-action.com/ab-5847t-gb.html

if you wish to install a "normal" v.2 in it you will need a new lower for sure but i cant guarantee that it will fit it properly...

RaisinBran July 27th, 2009 22:26

Yeah I do have a cheap MP5, and no, the Mechbox was even shittier, Wal-Mart ones.
What Canadian sites sell lowers?

never saw any... other than in the asc's classifieds

RaisinBran July 27th, 2009 22:35

Damn, so my MP5 is just going to be collecting dust I guess...

Too bad they don't cell G&G clear lower receivers for spares.

Amos July 27th, 2009 22:57

That gun isn't even worth trying to upgrade... You'd end up putting 4X it's value in it in parts, aswell as replacing everything.
