ICS M4 Upgrades?

sundae_1021 · January 26th, 2011, 15:46

Try to practice opening your own AEG, so that when trouble comes, and no one could help you, you know what to do. Just like what I did. I change the piston of my AEG, and put some new stuffs and set it for higher ROF. I wont change my stock spring so that I could play indoor and outdoor.

Ye I will be taking mine apart tonight to put my new spring in, so hopefully I don't mess it up.

remember the positions of any internals so that you wont mess it up. And do it slowly to avoid breaking. Watch the video on how to open the upper gearbox. You could lose your stock spring and the spring guide.

Ye I'm going to snap photos before and follow the video while I do it. I got it

You're going to be a future gun-doc when you got some experience.

Well, I put the new S90 spring in it with no major problems. Condition of the gearbox looked great. I just had trouble fitting the spring back in, I didn't wanna break it, but realized that it was fine so just forced it in. Tested it, and works great!

Great. my first time assembling the upper gearbox, I find a hard time pushing it inside.

But as soon as you got some experience, it would be easy. Next is the lower gearbox..

The new upper coming out will only make things easier :P

Can't wait...

Just be greatfull you bought an ICS split gearbox

Wait till you try it with a M120!!! (a smidgeon stiffer) literally a religious experiance (if you curse in french) very sexual (if you curse in English)

If you want to upgrade/change stuff:

Piston, piston head, cylinder head. Theses are the first thing you should change.

Spring and spring guide. As long as you run the stock spring, the plastic guide will be fine.

Then, tightbore, hop-up rubber. KEEP the stock hop-up system, it works just too good.

Bushings if your version has nylon ones.

And then, motor and gears (both are the same time, the ICS gears are known to break and the angle of the bevel is not the same as "TM" standard, so if you change just one, your gun will sound horrible).

I have a question regarding the gears + motor....

If I was to change to TM gears, and TM Motor, angle will change, and I will have to use a non-ICS pistol grip?

Or angle will always be the same, and I can continue using the ICS pistol grip...

*Cuz the ICS pistol grip is nice enough imo* :P

I have to ask.... and why would you do that ?

cause the gears are Ok and you can upgrade to an ICS turbo 3000 if you need more horse power (R...r...r Home improvement lol) and you get to keep your pistol grip...

Cheers
