Energy Reinforced 8mm Gearbox Set with Quick Spring Change

Hi all,

I'm building one AEG with two configurations: 1 for outdoor games (target: 390-395 fps) and one for CQB (target: 340-345fps).

As it's not an ICS, obviously it's timewasting to change the spring for each game. So I've looked around, and found the Energy Reinforced 8mm Gearbox Set with Quick Spring Change (see AirsoftGlobal) to ease the process. I figured that at this price, it's worth a try.

My current gearbox has the stock, 6mm bushings shell.

What I don't like, however, is that it's a 8mm gearbox. To my knowledge, there isn't any 8mm bushings and nobody ever recommended me the use of bearings for that purpose.

Questions:
-Does anybody have experience with those gearboxes?
-What do you think of the bearings issue? Is that something big, in your opinion and experience?

Thanks!
