FCC 2013 new release

The motor should be rigid once the two dowel pins are press in which locks the motor in.

We've found the FCC pins to be loose
The pins only really stop the motor from rotating
With Austin's FTW, the motor had shifted sideways during normal operation and disengaged from the bevel gear.

SuperHog · March 20th, 2014, 08:43

If it is shifting along the armature shaft axis, the armature wasn't shimmed properly.

I can tell you from my experience that there is a slight wobble with the motor. Seems like the pins weren't to spec.

If you check TW-Works it says that FTWs are cast bodies. I believe only the accessory parts of the gun are CNC'd.

I believe Austin's FCC 2.5 moved up and down about 3mm, it had the most armature play of any TW motor I've seen so far lol
Mine wasn't much better before I reshimmed it
Although I think they mounted their armature too low on the shaft, every time I reshim an armature the shaft is .2mm shy of the end of the bearing. Whereas the systema usually sticks out of the bearing a little. So with the FCC you have to mount the pinion gear fairly high and loctite it in place, whereas the systema you can bottom it out on the flat, ensuring it will never ride down.

I finally found some time to take a look at my gun. There is a slight wobble with the motor the lets it move left to right, however, not enough movement to do any damage. There is no play up or down. The motor hole is also dead center. Other than that, there is nothing else out of the ordinary with my gun.

Frank this is Austin's gun? I found a solution that will fix the motor issue 100% (sold him a systema)

I believe Kullwarrior is running a FCC2.5 in his 2008 PTW. The motor screeches and makes an awful sound. The FCC2.5 motor also cannot pull a M150 either. The engagement between the pinion gear is likely the culprit.

The 2.5s lack torque, it's evident in active braking where the sector gear typically overshoots the normal stopping position when the receiver is open.

Trooper, good to here they got at least one receiver right!

What's the future of FCC? Are they giving up, or are they going to take another kick at the cat?

I hope they continue. They have been a boon for Systema parts and service. And I can ask way more for Systema parts now.
