Thatās a pretty cool experimental piece mate! 
It was a kit I bought, thou do have some modifications in mind, just a shell for an AAP.
Will be definitely be painting it thou, donāt think bright orange is very effective Camo 
Iām getting Vector overtones off thatā¦ 
Modified the charging handle so itās two pieces now, so instead of the entire link moving with the bolt cycling the handle part is spring loaded and returns forward but pulling it pushes a rear link interfacing with the bolt to charge it.
Just need to tweak the mag release to get it working properly, a better handguard setup and a lick of paint and sheāll be good.

Couldnāt handle the mix of black accessories with a tan receiver and upper. Base coat down, going to sponge cam it. I managed to pull the mag feed wire out so will have pull it apart after painting to see how bad I effed it up
Not great at electronic/electrical work.

Cheers Docš
The receiver will be getting a marbling red/black paint job, not sure on hand guard whether to do the same or leave it original for the markings and go a red handgrip underneath
I have a singularity box here, metal gears and 38k motor as well as a uurkii mosfet for it.
Just gotta finish off stuff for other people firstš
Then of course I have the new CQB barrette and the scorpion to do at the same timeš¤£
Plenty of work on your plate there mate!
Gotta love the old faithful Singularity Gearboxesā¦ā¦ I used to get them doing insane things and destroyed a few until finally sorting out a few custom mods to make them pretty much indestructible!

The guy I mostly buy my new gear from up here in Morayfield always has a lot of blasters on the bench that are still running Gen 8 gearboxesā¦
Jin Ming put out a winner with that little gem, for sure. Itās still my go to box for the weird builds, providing itāll fit the shell of course.

If you ever get to the point of weak points/failures anywhere in the Singularity Box, shoot me a message and I would be happy to help with some mods that I used to do with themā¦ā¦ā¦ but honestly, that was only required because of the stupidly high FPS I was pushing, which is unnecessary for a good reliable and accurate 300 FPS blaster these days.
I am in the process of building a new singularity for my old favorite ump. 4 years on the same gearbox with much more use and abuse than maintainence, it isnāt broken just a service should fix it, but I am planning to put that box in another blaster and the new one in my ump.
Love me a singularity box!

Only real problem I have seen is the AR shaft mountsš¤
The metal version AR has a shorter shaft which leads to failure of the mounts in the case.
Using a floating lever pressed onto the original shaft solved this for mineš
Thatās one of the secret little fixes that I made to the gearboxes, after my run of AR Latch issues from stupid FPS strains. 
Sent you a PM with some info

If youāre after another of the gen8 Barretts, I saw today X-force at North lakes had one in their bargain bin, donāt know what was wrong with it but looked like a full kit.
Was $50 I believe.

I still have 6 for modding apart from the 2 Iāve already done and 1 that Iām keeping all original, but thanksā:+1:
Hi all, quick question.
Iām looking at upgrading my V2 box with metal gears, do I need to fork out for fancy SHS or other name brand gears, or will a chepaer generic set do the job. Not looking at super high fire rates or FPS, just something a bit more reliable and potentially reduced maintenance.

Go for the fancy ones. Generics will break under increased strains and wear faster, as theyāre cast instead of CNC.
