it even breaks impressivley

TM version 2 upgraded to 370 fps over a year ago, estimated that it broke in july during or before keystone 2.5
chronoed 367 fps on .2s with a clangy metal sound

replaced with "Guarder" reinforced V2 gearbox shell from Ehobby asia
spent about 3 hours the night before the game filing and fitting, they powder coated the INSIDE of the gearbox shell and the piston guides were not straight, making me wonder if it really was a guarder product. Not to mention there was no guarder markings on/in the box it came in

I've cracked both stock and reinforced Version2 gearboxes upgraded to 400fps. The stock TM gearbox cracked in the summer and the other reinforced Systema and Progear cracked in the winter. The Systema cracked at below -30 in a night game.

The pic you posted is the stock TM gearbox or did you cracked the Guarder one also? They seem to crack exactly at that same location.

Bruce, if I'm not mistaking it's TM V.2 gearbox. Notice only one screwby the motor at the bottom. if i remember correctly, guarder's have 2 screws.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, we have poped the front of TM stock gearboxes with PDI 140% springs.

Looks like a TM to me as well. The way it reflects light isn't like the Guarder ones I've seen.

yes, TM gearbox, its a "PDI 120" in it although it fires around 370 im guessing they accidentally packaged a PDI 130/140
