This Ultra FPS & ROF series book is an extension to the Advanced V2 Mechbox Guide marketed under the AirsoftPRESS brand name. With feedback from customers and reviewers we further develop the original mechbox guide to additionally cover manufacturer specific tech info for airsoft FPS/ROF optimization. The primary goal of this guide is to help you improve your electric airsoft AEG's FPS and ROF in cost effective ways. Different mechbox modification techniques are covered. Additionally, we address the issues of air tightness and battery configuration which are outside of the mechbox but are still highly relevant to the overall airsoft AEG performance.

What this book is about:
This Ultra FPS & ROF series book is an extension to the Advanced V2 Mechbox Guide marketed under the AirsoftPRESS brand name. With feedback from customers and reviewers we further develop the original mechbox guide to additionally cover manufacturer specific tech info for FPS/ROF optimization.
To achieve ultra high FPS, you need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that the desired FPS can be produced without sacrificing ROF and battery life. High FPS performance must be achieved with practicality in mind - you should not need to trade off power with other performance factors, and the gears should not get striped too easily.
On the other hand, to achieve ultra high ROF you'll need to make sure the entire mechbox mechanism is optimized in such a way that piston movement is fast enough to produce the rate of fire desired. That means you need to use techniques to reduce the friction introduced due to fast movement, to ensure the spring can rebound fast enough after compression, and to reduce the overall workload of the gears and the motor.
The primary goal of this guide is to help you improve FPS and ROF in a cost effective way. Different mechbox modification techniques are covered. Additionally, we address the issuesof air tightness and battery configuration which are outside of the mechbox but are still highly relevant to the overall airsoft AEG performance.
The goal of proper air sealing is to fill every gap along the air flow path to minimize air leakage and create an efficient environment for propelling BBs out of the barrel. We teach you how to maximize air seal at the two most critical areas along the air flow path, which are the cylinder set (from piston to air nozzle) and the Barrel / Hopup set.
The correct voltage on which an AEG motor is required to operate is critical. Every motor model is unique. Different models have different operating characteristics. In general, a 5% decrease in voltage can often translate into a 10% decrease in motor torque. The goal of this section is to help you determine the correct type of battery pack to use for your AEG, as well as to teach you the corresponding charging techniques.

Airsoft hasbeen well established in Asia for over 20 years, but only in recent years has there been much interest in the Western world. Most professional literature on Airsoft were written in Japanese, with very few translated works available. Even though we are seeing more and more tech tips (in English) popping up on the internet these days, too many of them were written by newcomers who don't really know what they are talking about. If you upgrade your AEG based on their advices, you may risk running into unexpected troubles.
At MechboxPRO (a subsidiary of AirsoftPRESS), weproduce technical information based on input from practicing engineers, technicians and field operators who have been with Airsoft since the era of S.S. 9000. Because we are part of the industry, we know what information is really needed, and we make sure our books tell what people really need to know. We do not mind to criticize thing that doesn't work, and we will not hesitate to give you hacks and workarounds to difficult problems. Reading this book should be like having an airsoft professional by your side, passing on useful hints whenever you get stuck.
This Ultra FPS & ROF series book is an extension to the Advanced V3 Mechbox Guide marketed under the AirsoftPRESS brand name. With feedback from customers and reviewers we further develop the original mechbox guide to additionally cover manufacturer specific tech info for airsoft FPS/ROF optimization. The primary goal of this guide is to help you improve your electric airsoft AEG's FPS and ROF in cost effective ways. Different mechbox modification techniques are covered. Additionally, we address the issues of air tightness and battery configuration which are outside of the mechbox but are still highly relevant to the overall airsoft AEG performance.
REVIEW
further product info This book teaches you how to properly put together and troubleshoot a V3 mechbox. Unlike most guides out there which base solely on the trouble-free TM implementation, our guide has been developed based on the assumption that you will be using a mixture of mechbox parts from different manufacturers, that there will be all sorts of compatibility & fitting issues and pitfalls (MANY of them) which have to be properly addressed along the assembly process. Instead of solely focusing on gear shimming, we pay close attention to MANY small and frequently-ignored details (in addition to shimming) that are in fact critical to the smooth operation of your mechbox. We also guide you through the steps required for achieving the best possible air sealing and compression effect.
This book is a MUST READ if you want to master the art of V3 mechbox assembly, optimization and troubleshooting!
-> You'll find this guide extremely helpful for achieving the best possible air sealing and compression effect.
-> You'll find this guide extremely resourceful for guiding your mechbox specific parts replacement effort and troubleshooting all sorts of mechbox specific problems.
-> You're going to love this guide if you are to mix and match mechbox internals from different manufacturers!
