Description
Siegetek Revolution Plus 10.44:1 Gear Set for V2/V3 (GS-RP)
The Siegetek Revolution Plus 10.44:1 is a high-speed AEG gear set designed for demanding Version 2 and Version 3 gearbox builds where fast trigger response, high rates of fire and mechanical durability are priorities. Its precision-machined chromium-molybdenum steel construction, reinforced gear teeth and extremely fast 10.44:1 ratio provide a strong foundation for performance-oriented AEG upgrades. Unlike the Cyclone DSG series, this gear set uses a conventional single-sector design, making it suitable for traditional AEG operating systems.
Siegetek gear sets are designed for builds where conventional gears may become a limiting factor. Their robust construction and carefully designed engagement surfaces allow the gears to withstand demanding mechanical loads, while the fast gear ratio reduces the number of motor revolutions required to complete each firing cycle.
10.44:1 High-Speed Gear Ratio
The Revolution Plus uses an exceptionally fast 10.44:1 gear ratio, meaning fewer motor revolutions are required for each sector gear revolution compared with conventional gear sets. When paired with a suitable motor, battery and spring, this can provide a significantly faster trigger response and increased rate of fire.
The lower gear ratio also reduces the mechanical advantage available to the motor. This makes correct component selection particularly important, as an underpowered motor or insufficient battery current can lead to poor performance, excessive electrical load and increased heat.
The GS-RP uses a conventional Single Sector Gear (SSG), not a Dual Sector Gear (DSG). The separate Cyclone Revolution Plus GS-RP-C uses an 8-tooth DSG sector gear. The GS-RP is therefore the appropriate choice when building a conventional single-sector AEG with an exceptionally fast gear ratio.
CNC-Machined High-Strength Steel Construction
Siegetek manufactures its gears from high-strength nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel using precision CNC machining. The material and robust tooth geometry are designed to withstand the mechanical stresses generated by upgraded AEG gearboxes.
The gear teeth feature a carefully calculated profile designed to distribute contact forces efficiently. The reinforced construction and increased gear tooth contact surfaces support durability and reliable power transmission, particularly in high-speed builds where the gear train operates under repeated loads.
The gears are also designed with attention to lubrication and wear resistance. Correct lubrication and shimming remain essential for achieving the intended performance and service life.
Revolution Plus Sector Gear Design
The Revolution Plus sector gear includes an enlarged tappet cam that increases the time the tappet plate and air nozzle remain retracted during the feeding cycle. This provides more time for a BB to enter the hop-up chamber, which is particularly valuable in fast AEG configurations where feeding time is limited.
The sector gear also features an optimised cut-off cam designed to activate the cut-off lever more positively and reduce the possibility of semi-automatic trigger lockups. These improvements help address two common challenges in high-speed gearbox builds: reliable BB feeding and consistent semi-automatic operation.
Compatibility and Installation Requirements
The Siegetek Revolution Plus is designed for Tokyo Marui-specification Version 2 and Version 3 AEG gearboxes. Compatibility depends on the gearbox shell dimensions, particularly the distances between gear axles and the available internal clearance.
Although intended for standard V2/V3 gearbox platforms, the gear set is not guaranteed to fit every manufacturer's gearbox without modification. Some reinforced gearbox shells and Krytac configurations may require additional fitting.
For optimal performance, the complete build should be considered:
- Compatible Tokyo Marui-specification V2 or V3 gearbox
- Motor with sufficient torque for the selected spring and gear ratio
- Battery capable of supplying the required current
- Correctly matched piston and spring
- Appropriate electronic components for the electrical demands of the build
- Careful gear shimming and motor pinion alignment
- Correct cut-off lever and anti-reversal latch operation
The extremely fast gear ratio makes motor torque, piston return speed and spring selection particularly important. In high-speed builds, incorrect component matching can result in premature piston engagement or unreliable gearbox operation.
Siegetek gears are supplied as a matched set and should not be mixed with gears from other ratios. Installation requires proper gearbox assembly and shimming. Depending on gearbox tolerances, fitting adjustments may be necessary.
