TECH: V2 gearbox reinforcing by radiusing cylinder window corners - MAEKIII on YouTube

"I made this video to demonstrate the effect of removing a sharp corner from a mechanical component, in this case a gearbox. Hopefully this will help you understand why and how it works.

Guide how do perform this modification:

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Seriously over the head of most of us, but MAEK's latest video show through a computer modeling force measurement perspective WHY putting a radius on the inner edges of your mechbox will releave stress and protect one of the soft-spots in any AEG build...especially as you increase the forces banging against the front lip with faster motors or stiffer/stronger springs.  Put this one into the MYTH CONFIRMED pile...and see how to do it in his other video at the link!

TECH REVIEW - HK 417 G Mechbox by VFC - Maekiii on YouTube

Thumpy Covey's insight:

A LONG video but very thorough from Maek on the ups and downs of the VFC-made mechbox for the HK-Licensed 417 AEG's....not a normal Version Two by any stretch of the imagination...and he also goes complaints, and offers a number of suggestions to improve what has been bugging players about the first couple of versions.  Listen to it all, leave COMMENTS on his YouTube Channel...and lets get the information to VFC and even to Elite Force for their tech support guys!
