Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - High Torque Gears and Backlash

There a few different pinion gears out there, and the pitch of the teeth is a little different. I've noticed this makes a difference with noise, without the use of torque-up gears.

Case in point:

ICS Turbo 2000 motors were whiny, it's an old complaint. The teeth on their pinion were cut very sharp. I had the opportunity to change the pinion out for a Guarder that I picked up from ASCA as few years ago. This new pinion was cut a little less sharp, and the resulting sound was more like an EG700 than the expected whiny ICS motor.

This was in an ICS M4 with stock gears.
