Guarder FTK for Dboys M4A1

[marcusviniciuslm]

Hello all,
im planning an upgrade for my M4, just bought a prometheus 6.03 inner barrel and a Prometheus NEO Metal Strike Chamber.

Now i would like to increase the gearbox durability and maybe gain extra power. So digging around i have found this FTK from Guarder. Is it worth?

I was wondering if i can replace the guarder spring for a PDI one. I have to buy anything else with this FTK?

I say run it till it breaks. No sense in spending money on upgrades you don't need.

i was under the impression that guarder gears are sub-par (someone correct me if im wrong). If you want to upgrade but are on a budget, get modify. Have Airsoft Parts Canada order a complete set in for you. If you have cash to burn, get a Prometheus set.

Well, IMO the $ diff between a systema complete and a modify FTK or prommy FTK really isn't all that much.
It would be a huge upgrade from DBoys internals anyways.

I only recommend this since you are already spending so much money on it.

Guarder gears are kinda junky. Go with a higher quality brand:

Modify
Systema
Prometheus
G&P

You can't really go wrong with any of the above. But why do you need to upgrade it? If you install this stuff yourself your gun won't become a magical laser or super reliable or durable. The installer, and the process can make or break a FTK. If you want more velocity get a stiffer spring.

Otherwise run your gun until it breaks and save yourself the money. If you don't open your box it will probably go 2 seasons without needing anything repaired.

with this upgrade i intend to increase my AEG durability and get a stronger spring (380~420 fps). I think a stronger spring with stock gearbox parts would break someting.

Prometheus has a FTK or i have to buy the parts separately?

Thanks skruface for posting the links. The question that I have to ask you is what is your gun shooting now? their is nothing wrong with 350. If you are concerned about "X" part breaking then you should never upgrade. I have guns shooting 380 with almost all stock TM parts (only cylinder change) and a M110 spring.

having been an excessive upgrader and tinkerer i've realized that in a large number of cases upgrades are the root of malfunctions in a gun.
