The Version 2, the Version 3, and what’s possible in 2024
HPA used to several desirable advantages over a top quality AEG, the most noticable to the player was a cool motor grip that didn't make your hand hot just for using the product. The technological leap that are brushless motors, have delivered a much needed creature comfort to the AEG user:
NO MOTOR HEAT……….basically.
What keeps brushless motors cooler is their excellent battery efficiency. This is another benefit of a brushless AEG: your batteries will last three times longer, if not more, vs a brushed motor. The experience of tripling your battery life and reducing motor heat to zero is a win-win by any metric.
​
​No refills, no air pass at the milsim, no tanks to change, no hose to catch on branches. It truly makes HPA feel like riding a horse to work when you have a Porsche 911 in the garage.
Plus, the AEG has something the HPA just cant match: feedback. Shooting HPA feels like being in a coma. There is no character, no visceral reward: no soul. A Russell’s Customs brushless AEG on the other hand is anything but comatose. Its not quiet, its unapologetically loud, it vibrates like mad, it makes you wonder just what the hell is happening inside the gearbox and how the hell it hasn’t disintegrated yet.
So to comfort that idea, I add a full support warranty on it.
A 2 year minimum warranty, because its robust. From premium tool steel bushings, the detailed shimming, a smooth tappet plate track, I focus on the details that matter not in week 1, but in week 100 and week 200. No “eh, that’s pretty close” ever leaves my work bench. Every gearbox is my best work, and I stand behind it. From your first shots to 300,000 and beyond. Run it hard, run it often, and run the other players into the ground.
