KIT & GEAR SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP

SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP!!

ANOTHER MONTH ROLLS BY, AND WHAT A MONTH IT’S BEEN FOR NEW GEAR COMING ONTO THE MARKET! THERE’S BEEN A FEW MEANINGFUL ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT MANUFACTURERS ARE REALLY STARTING TO PUSH FORWARD AGAIN, SO AS USUAL THE AA CREW HAS PICKED A FEW CHOICE MORSELS THAT HAVE TEMPTED US, AND WILL NO DOUBT TEMPT YOU TOO!

icking off this month we have to mention more on the ARES Airsoft announcement via their social media platforms, that they have some new motor/gearbox tech on the way! We’re liking the look of this minimalist setup that combines a tiny brushless motor with a what promises to be a minimalist gearbox, almost by the look of things making it one streamlined, fully integrated unit! Apart from some really “teasy” pictures, ARES haven’t yet been very forthcoming about the exact nature of the technology and some have speculated online that

it looks very much the same as the setup offered by SYSTEMA. Our take (thus far) is that any advance in gearbox/motor tech has to be a good thing and ultimately there are only so many ways to make things work. Suffice to say, we’re following this development closely and as soon as we know more we’ll be sure to pass the information along! Sticking with ARES, we’re also pleased to see that their new X-CLASS AEGs are finally getting talked 86
