AEG Gear Sets – For lasting power, quiet operation and optimal performance

AEG Gear Sets form the mechanical heart of every electric airsoft replica. They determine how efficiently your gearbox transfers power, how fast your replica fires and how reliable it remains under load. In this category, you will find gear sets for a variety of playing styles – from high-speed builds to high-torque configurations that can handle heavy springs. Thanks to high-quality materials such as hardened steel and precise gear finishing, these sets deliver maximum durability and smooth operation, even during intense skirmishes.

Why choose AEG gear sets?

Standard gears work fine for recreational use, but for more demanding requirements, such as faster firing, more pulling power or improved durability, upgrade gears are indispensable. High-speed gears increase the rate of fire, while high-torque gears provide the power needed for M120–M150 springs and DMR configurations. Thanks to tight tolerances, optimal tooth geometry and better use of materials, upgrade gears reduce wear, torsion and vibration, resulting in quieter, smoother and more reliable performance.

What can you find in this category?

• High-speed gear sets for increased ROF (e.g. 16:1, 13:1)
• High-torque gear sets for powerful builds with M120–M150 springs (e.g. 18:1, 32:1)
• Standard ratio sets (18:1) as a durable upgrade from stock gears
• Compatible sets for V2, V3, V6 and V7 gearboxes
• Gears from top brands such as BigDragon, Guarder, Retro Arms, Prometheus and more

Who are they suitable for?

AEG Gear Sets are ideal for airsofters who want to optimise a DMR or CQB build, technical players who strive for a better balance between ROF and FPS, and anyone who wants to reduce wear or increase the reliability of their replica. Also perfect for users who are preparing their replica for intensive use or powerful springs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between high-speed and high-torque gears?

High-speed gears increase the rate of fire, while high-torque gears deliver more power for builds with heavy springs.

Are all gear sets compatible with every gearbox?

No. Compatibility varies by model (e.g. V2, V3, V6, V7). Always check the correct type.

When should I replace my gears?

When your replica makes a slipping noise, performs inconsistently or shows visible wear on the gears, replacement is necessary.

Is shimming necessary with new gear sets?

Yes. Correct shimming reduces wear, prevents noise and ensures smooth operation.

Buying guide

• Choose high-speed or high-torque depending on your build goal
• Check compatibility with your gearbox model
• Pay attention to material selection, such as hardened steel for maximum durability
• Combine gears with a good shim set for quiet operation
• Consider a suitable motor for optimal transmission power

Top tip: Use high-quality gear grease to extend the life of your new gear set and minimise friction.

For a complete AEG upgrade, shim sets, motors & pinion gears, pistons & piston heads, cylinders & heads, hop-up chambers, buckings & nubs, springs & guides and other AEG parts fit perfectly into this category. By balancing these internal components, you create a quiet, powerful and extremely reliable gearbox.

With AEG Gear Sets, you choose quiet operation, durable power and the mechanical precision that every serious airsoft player needs.
