Did you change the pistol grip yourself or was it done by the retailer

Does the selector operate properly in the safe position

Noise comes from the bevel gear and the pinion gear not meshing correctly. This can occur for many reasons, but one of the most common is that v2 gearboxes do not use a motor cage, and the free-float design in the pistol grip sucks. Many of the grips are not properly aligned and do not allow the pinion to seat precisely where it should be on the bevel gear.

There are modifications you can do, but it is a little intensive. Personally I'd just ask yourself is the new grip worth it, and if it is, then I'd look into getting the motor angle corrected.

I tried to dig up the post on Airsoft Mechanics...but couldn't find it
