CYMA nylon gearsets are proprietry… different to standard V2 nylon gears.
I’ve never tried putting CYMA gears into a non-CYMA gearbox, but I can tell you the pinion & bevel gears are not cross compatible… same for the a/r latch, different lengths. I’ve only ever used CYMA gears in a CYMA application.
Standard V2 nylon and cast metal gears work in Gen 9s, SHS gearsets need the spur gear shaved down to give clearance in the shell. So… lathe.
Just to be clear, the gearbox in an ACR J10 is just a Gen 9 box with an additional mag terminal plate built into the receiver. Gen 8 & Gen 9 share the same gearset.
If you’ve been looking specifically for Gen 9 gears, might be why you can’t find any. Most sellers just list them as Gen 8 and assume you’re aware of the Gen 9 compatibility.
Lifted from the X-Force listing for Gen 8 nylon gearsets :
X-Force is also showing a stock level of 67 at Meadowbrook, so I don’t know why they’d tell you they have none. Here’s the link if you want to.pay $20 :
Or you can get them on ebay from a seller in Yatala for $4… buy five sets for the same price as X-Force stock.
Awesome, thank you for the information, that’s just what was peaking my curiosity. One of the listings I found didn’t have the anti reverse latch so that solves that problem,
the old two birds, one gel
And thank you @BME for the offer. I’ll pm you at some stage during the week

Here in this non descript factory we see a huge vat, where they are making enough grease to fully grease, 3 ACR gearboxes…
All my builds copped these threaded brass melt in Nut Inserts for the Gearboxes and receiver assembly screws.
Self tapping screws are NOT your friend!
Also replace the factory fitted insert motor grip nuts with proper new nuts/threaded screws rather than fighting with the unknown “specification” Chinathread crap that they come with.
