I have a custom with 3 ARES M4-A1's that keeps blowing out sector gears. I personally own one of these as my cheap loaner and the things been GREAT even on a 11.1volt 15C Lipo, I have no idea why he keeps roasting his.

We decided to try some better gears so I ordered 3 sets of Guarder gears, always had good luck with those.

Anyway we got them installed into gun #1 and clearly the sector gear sits too high for the pistol to clear it. I can remove the quick change spring from the back of the gear box and try to push the pistons back and WATCH the back end of the piston hit the sector, not being able to clear it. I tried another brand of piston, same issue.

We have another ARES with ICS gear and some no name clear piston from RSOV.com, that one works fine but I'm having nothing but issues with these Guarder gets in this thing.

Does anyone know if it would be worth the hassle of ordering Guarder pistons or do we need to try some other gears?

I've had a REALLY! good success rate selling ARES guns so I've not had to work on only a couple of them and ARES USA has always supplied me with new OEM ARES parts but this custom wants to go with something "higher quality" part wise.

Thanks for any input you guys might have.
