Hey there, airsoft enthusiasts!Today, we're tackling an issue many SR25 owners face: finding the perfect gear set for your AEG. In this guide, we’ll compare the stock OEM gear set, the SHS/Rocket SR25 gear set, and our very own new SR25 gear set from jvanairsoft. Whether you're looking to enhance your airsoft gun’s performance or just curious about the latest upgrades, stick around!

Starting Point: The Stock OEM Gear Set

We kicked things off by testing the OEM gear set that comes standard in a SEMA SR25. With 2G BBs and an 11.1V LiPo battery, we recorded a series of 10 shots to establish a baseline FPS consistency. The results were as expected—decent performance but nothing to write home about. This set served as our benchmark for comparing the other gear sets.

The SHS/Rocket SR25 Gear Set: Potential Pitfalls

Next up, we installed the SHS/Rocket SR25 gear set. Here’s where things got interesting—and not in a good way. One of the main issues with this gear set is the poor alignment between the pickup pin and the pickup tooth. This causes the tappet plate to engage too early, leading to premature engagement (PME). When your gearbox cycles too quickly, this flaw can cause some serious issues, especially if you’re using a high-speed motor.

Another problem with the SHS/Rocket gear set is its construction. The gears are held together by two small screws, which are prone to shearing under stress. During our tests with a fast motor, the gears couldn’t handle the pressure and nearly failed. This is definitely something to keep in mind if you’re pushing your airsoft gun to the limit.

The Solution: jvanairsoft’s New SR25 Gear Set

After experiencing the shortcomings of the SHS set, we switched to our new SR25 gear set from jvanairsoft. This gear set was specifically designed to address the issues we encountered with the SHS/Rocket set. The pickup pin is positioned perfectly, which prevents the tappet plate PME. Plus, the gear design is much more robust, with a pin that extends all the way through, eliminating the risk of shearing.

When we tested the jvanairsoft gear set with the same fast motor and 11.1V LiPo battery, the results were outstanding. Not only did we completely eliminate the tappet plate PME, but we also saw a significant increase in FPS. This goes to show just how critical proper tappet plate timing is for getting the best performance out of your airsoft gun.

The Verdict: Why jvanairsoft’s Gear Set is the Best Choice

If you’re serious about upgrading your SR25, choosing the right gear set is crucial. Our jvanairsoft SR25 gear set outperformed both the stock OEM and SHS/Rocket gear sets, offering smoother operation, higher FPS, and much better reliability. Whether you’re looking to tweak your existing setup or build a high-performance AEG from the ground up, this gear set will give you the edge you need.
