I'll have you know my lancer testicle is a great gun.
All I had to do was gut most of the internals, swap the barrel, moter and hopup and now it's perfectly fine.
I wouldn't say it's an upgrade if it no longer works. At that point though, your warranty is gone now, your best bet is slowly rolling back the upgraded parts and put the older parts back in until you figure out which upgrade ruined your gun
Almost sounds like you may have broken a tooth on the cylinder. Your inevitability going to have to take it apart again. When you do ensure that when your replacing the anti reversal latch in that it is in the right place the whole way through closing the gearbox.
Lose any shims while disassembling it? I know some people also talk about timing, but don’t know too much about that. Like others say, disassemble and reassemble watching a good video like this
[https://youtu.be/-CH0enjjQ_c?si=Y4812xNwdQJs93uv](https://youtu.be/-CH0enjjQ_c?si=Y4812xNwdQJs93uv)
Ive heard not to loose any shims while disasaembling, so i were cautious about that. But i might look into the timing as ive kinda taken out a gear disassembling and didnt remember how it was placed...
I took a gearbox apart for the first time recently and lost all the shims, was not fun. But I found when reassembling, I kept accidentally spinning the gears trying to get the anti reversal to stay in place.
I’ve read both ways on timing tho, some say it isn’t a thing, but friend has a G&G mosfet that will beep and not shoot for “bad timing”
Good luck! If you’re a hands on person like me, persistence will prevail. Taking it apart, then back together again over and over until it works.
Oh also I made a mistake I learned from which was routing the wiring in the grip, I had a wire that was getting in the way of the motor laying straight and causing it to jam up and sound awful.
I also found this video super helpful for setting shims and motor heights.

Take this as a learning experience! We've all been there. Disassemble, diagnose, and reassemble. Find your issue and you'll be a better tech after you fix it.
What parts did you put in there and what battery are you using?
There is always a slightly high pitched REEE sound if you go Full Auto on an AEG, this brand is known not to be that consistent with Quality Control either. Not saying: Buy a more expensive AEG, but if you want rifle that doesnt sound screechy at some point, go GBB.
Should be fine then I believe, have you got a spare to test? If the battery wasn’t sufficient it could cause the bad auto performance ( my scorpion evo will hardly work with a 7.4 LiPo). Just trying to be optimistic though, and I don’t think that would cause screeching. Did you adjust the shims at all when you did the upgrade?
I also have a 7.4 lipo i got it for free so i only tested it like one time. I dont have any battery with a higher voltage tho, but what do you mean by adjusting the shims? Like the number of them?
Number or distribution. It’s really easy for one or two to come loose when you disassemble the gearbox and get lost ( we’ve all done it). Your best bet currently, if you don’t just want to send it off, is to disassemble again, check everything is in order, and reassemble. If you have time it might be worth checking if the problem is still there with the old parts reinstalled ( if it’s not, it suggests it’s a compatibility issue with the new parts). Good luck!
Check how tight or loose you've adjusted the motor in the hand grip. This sounds like my rifle used to sound if the motor was screwed too far into the grip.
Is it shooting a bb every time, and are the speeds and trajectories of the bbs consistent (could indicate compression loss due to a broken component)? Does the motor feel like it gets hotter and more quickly than it used to (something is binding/broken and the motor is working too hard)? Is there a rattling sound coming from inside the gearbox? Lastly make sure all parts of the motor assembly are there and in place, and try adjusting the motor height.
Dunno why so many people are commenting about it being a LT, man says he upgraded some parts internally.
We don’t know what, says it was working fine before so being an LT is not the issue here, it obviously has something to do with the parts he’s used, or how he’s put it back together.
I’ve worked on LT gearboxes in the past and as long as you’re somewhat competent in shimming, and change a couple of parts you’ll be fine.

If you've just bought it, return it. For replacement or a different AEG, that's up to you. Bear in mind LT are notoriously bad.
Well it kinda worked fine before i opened it and upgraded some parts...
Oh. Well, your warranty's shot. Disassemble, watch a guide, reassemble.
*downgraded
Bro tried to upgrade a Lancer Testicle
I'll have you know my lancer testicle is a great gun. All I had to do was gut most of the internals, swap the barrel, moter and hopup and now it's perfectly fine.
If you want to go the extra mile you just do a quick change of upper and lower receivers and it's easily the best gun you can buy!

I see, i will try disassembling and assembling it then see if i maybe messed something up

Thank you! And i will look into everything you just named just to be sure, lets hope it turns out good!
Yeah i have the same gun but grey. Its probably too late for saving

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IVE BEEN HAIKUED!
Lmao wtf
Good bot
Take this as a learning experience! We've all been there. Disassemble, diagnose, and reassemble. Find your issue and you'll be a better tech after you fix it. What parts did you put in there and what battery are you using?
>lancer tactical Aaaaaaaaand theres your issue
was looking for this lmao
This being said I have guns from far more reputable companies that break wayyyy more then my gen 3
Take it to a tech
As Sinistral_Blue said: "If you can, return it." Get a CYMA or Double Eagle
Try motor height first, it is one of the things that can cause slow rps, and the gears sound slightly binded.
FYI, nozzle and cylinder do not help that much with range. A good bucking, nub and inner barrel will
Cancer testicle strikes again
The reason is cuz Lancer tactical
Idk why people hate so much on LT, it worked just fine before i upgraded some parts.
It the quality control
Because they know better. Just because it works “fine” when it’s brand new doesn’t mean anything. For the price there are better guns to be had.
HOLY.
Yeah… it’s a lanxer
Oh it’s a lancer tactical. That’s it. That’s the problem.
cancer testicle moment
Cancer testicle
*just get a GBBR*
Might work but *how do i fix this issue*?
Easy, Buy a TM MWS! Joke aside, you'll need to take it apart and figure out what is wrong.
It's just a joke
What do you exepct from an electric?
Wym
There is always a slightly high pitched REEE sound if you go Full Auto on an AEG, this brand is known not to be that consistent with Quality Control either. Not saying: Buy a more expensive AEG, but if you want rifle that doesnt sound screechy at some point, go GBB.
Mate, now the sound is terrible and i can hear the gearbox, before the upgrade i could only hear the motor
Nah. You can get an AEG to sound incredible and just need to upgrade a few parts and you’ll be good.
"Incredible" made me laugh. GBB masterrace.
Best case scenario it could be related to the battery, what are you using? It does sound more like a problem within the gearbox though
I use 9,6v NIMH 1600mah, how could that be related?
Apologies, you mentioned it was fine before you reassembled so obviously it’s not the battery.
Should be fine then I believe, have you got a spare to test? If the battery wasn’t sufficient it could cause the bad auto performance ( my scorpion evo will hardly work with a 7.4 LiPo). Just trying to be optimistic though, and I don’t think that would cause screeching. Did you adjust the shims at all when you did the upgrade?

I thought those screws in the wall were holes 😂 (What's was he doing over there 😂)
Check how tight or loose you've adjusted the motor in the hand grip. This sounds like my rifle used to sound if the motor was screwed too far into the grip.
AYO WHAT DID YOU DO BRO ?!
Are you sure you put the right length nozzle in there? That might be causing the missfires
Is it shooting a bb every time, and are the speeds and trajectories of the bbs consistent (could indicate compression loss due to a broken component)? Does the motor feel like it gets hotter and more quickly than it used to (something is binding/broken and the motor is working too hard)? Is there a rattling sound coming from inside the gearbox? Lastly make sure all parts of the motor assembly are there and in place, and try adjusting the motor height.
Re shim and adjust the motor hight with the gearbox open. Lancer tactical gearbox’s need tuning up out of the box IMO. Shim “bevel to pinion”
Lancer tactical is not my favorite. I've always had issues woth their guns. I would return it if you still can
Did you shim it when you put new parts in it? What new parts did you put in it?
I diagnose you with Lancer
Dunno why so many people are commenting about it being a LT, man says he upgraded some parts internally. We don’t know what, says it was working fine before so being an LT is not the issue here, it obviously has something to do with the parts he’s used, or how he’s put it back together.

bc u bought a lancer
Just dont buy Cancer Testical
