Elevate your rifle’s rate of fire and trigger responsiveness with the Laylax Prometheus EG Hard Gear Set 16:1 (High Speed) for Ver.2/Ver.3 Gearbox. Precision-machined in Japan from high-strength, heat-treated steel, this high-speed gear set replaces standard 18:1 factory gears to deliver faster cycle completion and instant trigger acceleration. Designed for high-performance Version 2 and Version 3 AEG builds, it withstands high stress and intense mechanical loads while maintaining smooth, low-friction operation. Upgrade your gearbox drivetrain today to experience faster cyclic speeds and unyielding Japanese durability.
A fast, reliable gearbox drivetrain requires internal components that can handle intense mechanical stress without wearing out or stripping under load. The Laylax Prometheus EG Hard Gear Set 16:1 (High Speed) is engineered specifically to provide Airsoft Electric Rifles (AEGs) with elevated cyclic rates, crisp trigger response, and long-term mechanical reliability across Version 2 and Version 3 gearbox platforms.
Precision Machined Heat-Treated Steel Construction
Where standard sintered powder-metal factory gears are prone to tooth shear, axle snapping, and premature wear under rapid cycling, Laylax Prometheus gears are CNC-machined from high-grade steel alloy and subjected to a specialized heat-treatment process. This creates an exceptionally hard surface matrix that resists tooth fracture, chipping, and deformation. The gear teeth feature optimized pitch geometry that reduces gear whine and mechanical friction, transferring maximum kinetic energy from your motor to the piston assembly.
16:1 High-Speed Ratio for Rapid Cycle Completion
Featuring a 16:1 high-speed gear ratio, this set reduces the number of motor rotations required to complete a full firing cycle compared to standard 18:1 gearsets. This translates directly into a noticeable jump in rate of fire (ROF) on full-auto and near-instantaneous cycle completion on semi-auto, giving you a decisive edge in rapid CQB engagements and fast-paced field maneuvers.
Key Features & Technical Benefits:
-
16:1 High-Speed Gear Ratio: Increases cyclic speed and sharpens semi-automatic trigger response.
-
Heat-Treated Steel Alloy: Premium Japanese steel construction prevents tooth shearing and axle failure.
-
Optimized Tooth Profiles: Precision tooth geometry minimizes friction and reduces drivetrain noise.
-
Universal V2 / V3 Compatibility: Fits standard Tokyo Marui-spec Version 2 and Version 3 AEG gearboxes.
-
Japanese Precision Manufacture: Machined to tight mechanical tolerances for smooth axle rotation and easy shimming.
Installation & Field Guidance
Achieving peak performance and long lifespan with the Prometheus EG Hard Gear Set depends on proper installation. Always clean the gears with solvent prior to fitting, and perform a precise, step-by-step shimming procedure to ensure correct bevel-to-pinion and spur-to-sector tooth engagement. Apply a high-quality synthetic grease (such as fluoropolymer or lithium grease) to the gear teeth and axle shafts, and pair with smooth 7mm or 8mm steel bearings/bushings for optimal high-speed performance.

Faulty Product?! Unfortunately that is part of life but be rest assured we are here to help! Contact one of our friendly staff via phone or email. Stating what the problem is, if we can resolve the problem via phone or email great if not then they will advise how to send it back and what details we require.
The gun will be sprayed 51% in a bright/primary color (we do only blue, green and red currently). The process of two toning currently runs at 2 working days depending on Drying Time, which is effected by Ambient Temperature and Weather. and currently no express delivery is available for this even if you select it at checkout.
