AST Custom Tokyo Marui Version 3 Gear Box with 8mm Bearing

[IcePlatinumSky]

Has anybody seen are heard of a AST Custom Tokyo Marui Version 3 Gear Box with 8mm Bearing. Airsoft Troops will be selling these soon. To me a 8mm Bearing just sounds nuts, I have never thought it was possible to do such a thing. How much difference can that make? :shock:

Enough to charge a crapload more than usual, not enough for me to buy one

I would imagine it could increase your ROF quite a bit by reducing bearing friction, but forget about using it with anything over an M100.  Granted, I'm no V3 expert, but I know larger bearings in general applications provide less friction.

I suppose it would also increase battery life by decreasing motor strain.  The question is, does this warrant the extra cost?

[IcePlatinumSky]

Ya good point, it cost more than three times the amount,  of a stock mauri gear box.  I still wonder about Durability  and performance for that overkill sized bearing.

Just bore out the holes already to 8mm, then buy 8mm bushings.  It'd have to be done at a machine shop, but it could be done for about $15.
