gear ratio, which is capable of delivering higher ROF (but less torque) than the

standard TM gear ratio. Because at this gear ratio the gears are quite easy to

break, Cybergun has switched to the standard ratio in the A15 R2 and in the

forthcoming M4.

The high torque gear set has a different gear ratio than the stock gear set. It

does produce higher torque without increasing the burden of the motor, but ROF

is jeopardized.

You should consider the use of high torque gears if:

 you want to go significantly beyond M120, and

 you are in an environment where temperature is constantly high.

High torque gears make the life of your motor easier. However, if you push your

motor with a 12V high mah battery, this benefit is lost.

Helical gears have their teeth cut at an angle such that more teeth are in contact

at any given moment.

This approach is supposed to be good as any one tooth is facing less force upon

it at any given time. The problem is that of fitting. You need to have mechbox,

bushings and piston that fit properly with the helical gear set, and based on our

painful experience it is better off to buy a complete Systema FTK rather than just

the gear set alone.

Note that most FTKs are simply collections of improvement parts which allow
