Put the metal rails top and side to mount the ACOG and PEQ green laser. Not happy with the paint colour, might use it as a base and cam it up. The LeHui Aug was my first blaster, still hits hard and was overdue for some love.

Those ACOG’s always hit hard no matter what you attach them to!

Nice one. My first bullpup love 
Some Green and tan Auscam style would look wicked on yours with that base colour

Nice Elcan scope. I will put Auscam in the mix, I am still trying to decide on a camouflage pattern to put on it.
Hmmmm… thinking pretty hard about gutting my shell ejecting AA-12 foam flinger and voodooing an AEG gearbox into it.
Sure I could just get the inner barrel and shells from X-Force and it would shoot gels, albeit with pretty lame performance… but who could be f*cked policing up shells every twenty shots? 
Could be more work than it’s worth but there’s tons of space in there, and I do have a P90 inline gearbox sitting around doing zip. Microswitch trigger and floating mag terminals makes it easy enough… dunno… lots to consider 
It would certainly make for a pretty solid and indestructible blaster for sure! 
“Once you start the path of gearbox transplanting, forever it shall dominate your destiny…”
Wish they had of just converted or cloned the TM AA12 to begin with…
Three barrels in that Tokyo Marui AA12…
Don’t think I’d wanna try that with gels though
Maybe a good ole gen8 would shoehorn in?

Well its finally nearly almost complete. Tested and runs great on ihobby gels (no idea if this is “good” in current gel, its been a while since i played)
- looks great as well. Sunday well spent.

Bloody beautiful work mate, should be very proud of the finished results

Wow, that is very cool
One I did while the forum was down, so didn’t get any photos of inside even though it was ongoing for two weeks! Idiot!
It had a cyma metal gearbox, which came out of another blaster and just needed a cylinder changed and short stroking to drop fps to under 300 for indoor field use. Opened it and found it had internal bearing 13:1 super shooter gears, which I didn’t want to pour filings into and decided to change to 12:1 SHS gears.
Shortened by 4 teeth, I shimmed them up, and then decided to put a t238 ETU in to make quicker trigger response and shorter trigger pull and reliable semi auto for indoors.
At this point I discovered I needed to file down the trigger switch post. I had a spare cyma metal gearbox I got second hand that already had that done… so then changed to that… And reshimmed again into that one.
I then printed a new terminal plate to accept gen8 and SLR mags, and a tpiece extension for the cyma tpiece.
Then I decided it was in for a penny in for a pound… 28k brushless t238. Which didn’t play nice with the grip it had so got a different one!
Also filed the trigger and safety, so it has very short pull but safety works. And trimmed down the trigger spring so it operates with less effort.
It’s now 12:1 short 4 teeth, m100, t238 basic ETU and 28k brushless t238 motor. Does 285fps, super quick semi auto, and if you feel naughty it does 30rps in auto! I am loving these blue t238 brushless motors for $100ea, very good value performance and efficiency.
Now I have to decide what blaster the 25k long brushless will go in to test out.
Outstanding work mate, and quite refreshing to hear good feedback for the T238 products, as there’s many heroes online bagging the shit out of any T238 branded parts whether they have ever used them or not 
It’s all about real world performance, not GUCCI expensive name brand dick measuring competitions.
If the product fits and works to the expectations required at a good price, then would have to be an idiot to write them off just because of the brand name alone 
Gotta admit that that sight and riser is sending shivers down my spine though

Haha yeah as I use a mask indoors it was either that or a drop stock, and as grandpa Simpson said once “I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I use a drop stock!”
I have had a good experience with t238 tbh. Yes I had one fail out of the gate, but it may have been something I did. I did contact them, and had I not owned it for months before installing it they would have replaced it so if you install it yourself, competently they are a good option… I am yet to have one fail from use and a couple are nearly 3 years old in were in workhorses.
The etus are getting better with time too, they have finally recognised they need to be insulated and include a sticker for the boards though I still use electrical tape as well. and for me the basic 1.9 ETU is about $35-40, easy to install, comes with a deans already attached just solder on the mag terminals, and I know it will semi auto everytime. If I have to replace a switch block this is easier and only a fraction more expensive in parts, and I know it will work. With a trigger trolley that’s having issues you don’t know how long it will take!
So far I’d prefer their brushless over warheads, and they also work with their ETUs that have hard wired active brake. Bonus. Admittedly I can’t say that for the long term as testing will take another year for that, but seeing Azraels ditch warhead in favour of t238 brushless makes me think they have the same experience.
Above all value plus, ETUs quite often have enough features you’ll be happy, where a perun or leviathan may be “better” they are in case of leviathan 2-5 times dearer depending on your application! That means alot when you have nearly 50 blasters! And most are set and forget, so in case of leviathan your are paying for a lot of functions you don’t use or need. They are good, but they aren’t for every case especially if you have value in mind.

Great advice
I had completely forgotten about their ETU’s !
Makes a lot of sense to use one over the stock setup with rocker arms, springs and levers being able to be deleted for a much simpler and reliable setup
I’ve heard of a couple of people who had issues with some T238 products being dud new out of the box and writing off the whole brand, but the reality is that it’s no different to many electronics out there in the world of mass production.
I learnt to bench test EVERYTHING when I was in the Hot Rod/Classic/Muscle Car building industry.
The amount of new parts, from simple LED lights right through to MSD ignitions that were faulty brand new was quite common.
Better off to bench test everything first instead of completing a full build and having to go back through the whole wiring systems to try and find out why something isn’t working
