review of the riotsc/SiegeTek gears
« on: May 02, 2011, 07:20:02 PM »
i finaly got the money to pick up a set of gears from riotsc/SiegeTek.
these gears look fantastic and they feel so smooth inside my v6 gearbox.
these gears are made to fit into v6/7 tm and compareable gearboxes.
they fit into v6 gearboxes by reversing the way the spur-gear bushings usualy sit.
these gears are made from:
"All gear components are CNC machined from chromium molybdenum steel rods, except for the bevel/anti-reversal gear component of the bevel gear in generation 1 gear sets, and for bevel gear component in generation 2 gear sets." (direct quote from his site)



the fit inside my gearbox is spot on.



i still got a few things that need to be done before i actualy run these in my gun, but they are by far the best gears i have seen.

ill start with the bevel gear.


it is made from 3 different pieces, the bevel, anti reversel gear, and the lil gear that turns the spur gear that has the shaft machined into it. if you look closely at the pics you can see this.
and they are made from:
"In generation 1 gear sets, the bevel/anti-reversal gear component is warm compacted from diffusion alloyed steel.  In generation 2 gear sets, the anti-reversal gear component has been updated and is CNC machined from chromium molybdenum steel as well.  Both hardened materials offer superior toughness and strength compared to that of the other aftermarket gear sets" (direct quote from his site).
some of the special features for the bevel gear are:
- Shape-optimized anti-reversal gear prevents uneven wear on the anti-reversal latch and reduces noise.
- Anti-reversal gear blocker prevents the motor pinion gear from contacting the anti-reversal gear. (its a ridge built inbetween the bevel gear and the anti-reversel gear

next is the spur gear.


its a 2 piece unit. there is the bevel-spur gear and there is the spur-sector gear that has the shaft machined into it.

and last but not least, is the sector gear.


as best as i can tell it is made from 5 pieces.
the spur-sector gear, sector-piston gear, 2 retaining pins, one of which engages the tappet plate, and the shaft  which has the power cut-off cam machined into it.
some special fetures of the sector gear are:
- Enlarged sector gear release tooth provides enhanced strength to cope with the accumulated spring load at the end of piston cycles.
- Shape-optimized power cut-off cam decreases cut-off lever reset time, which reduces the chance of trigger switch jam.
both of wich are visable in the pics.
i will do a further update/edit once i actualy fully build the gearbox.
some more of the parts that i will be useing for this build are:
km nozzle, cylinder/head
ca piston with full metal rack
not sure what piston head yet
area1000 metal bushings
systema bearing spring guide
systema 120s spring
havent decided on a motor yet think i want to try out one of these neo magnet motors
i will be useing a aws pulse mosfet to run the electrics

thank you for reading my review of these gears, of which i highly recomend.
along with his site, airsoftgi.com has picked up his line of products and they recomend profesional installation. that has to at least say a lil about the quality of his products.
for a small producer to be picked up by a mainstream seller.

never underestimate the things you dont know.
P90 is no longer the b***h gun!
