Yeah those Modify gear axles are real cold bastards.



Kidding aside...

I haven't tried the Modify gearbox yet but I have used nearly every other Modify part inside of that gearbox. The gears, the ARL, the piston, the spring, the cylinder, the double o-ring cylinder head (very nice), the o-ring-containing nozzle, most of their little springs, the the bearings and their shims. The only thing that's mysterious to me is the trigger assembly, though going by the rest of their parts, it'll be good too. I would suspect it will be a very good mechbox.

Think of the Modify gearbox as a collection of nothing but aftermarket upgrade parts, whereas the G&P gearbox gearbox is essentially a bunch of stock parts. I have personally snapped 4 stock G&P gears in the last year and expect to snap 2 more before this year is out... With the G&P gearbox, you absolutely should expect to add about 30 - 50 bucks in gearset upgrades for when the stock ones explode.

The only thing I'd watch out for with the Modify gearbox is the piston. If yours comes with the translucent purple piston, you may want to replace it with something else. I've heard it's brittle, and I personally have one exemplar in my broken parts bin that is in a frozen state of rack collapse.
