Chimera Mk.II FET For V3 Gearbox
Advanced Technology
- Can handle power surges up to 9000 watts and even run on car batteries!
- Fully computerized and driven by a high speed PIC18F14K22 microprocessor.
- Multiple internal layers of heavy copper traces for greater current capacity.
- Short circuit detection and voltage spike suppression circuits to protect the controller.
- Smart thermal management allows the controller to remain cool under sustained firing.
MOSFET Trigger
- Eliminates damaging electrical arcing of the trigger switch contacts.
- Lower resistance compared to mechanical switching, increasing motor current.
- Driven by a IRLS3034-7PPBF, the world's most powerful D2PAK-style MOSFET!
Dynamic Braking
- Eliminates the motor spin-down time to prevent the piston from over-traveling.
- Assists in keeping the piston properly reset to reduce stress on the gearbox.
- Prevents double firing on semi-fire in extremely high RoF setups.
- Also driven by the powerful IRLS3034-7PPBF MOSFET!
Cycle Completion
- Gearbox always completes the last cycle regardless of when the trigger is released.
- Assists in keeping the piston properly reset to reduce stress on the gearbox.
- The motor will always have the smoothest and most consistent startup.
- Allows the anti-reversal latch to be removed.
Fully Configurable Fire Select
- Both selector positions can be individually configured.
- Available options for each selector position:
- Semi fire
- Auto fire
- 2-round burst
- 3-round burst
- 3-round burst (no interrupt)
- Burst-auto hybrid
- "No interrupt burst" fires the remaining burst rounds if the trigger is released early.
- "Burst-auto hybrid" fires a burst and switches over to full auto if the trigger remains held down.
- Can convert any AEG to semi-only by having both selector positions set to semi fire.
Adjustable Precocking
- Precocking stops the piston in a compressed state so the next shot is near-instantaneous.
- The precocking is fully adjustable and thus also compatible with short-stroked pistons.
- Offers improved realism and trigger response for sniper or low RoF builds.
Realistic RoF Control
- Every cycle runs at full speed and pauses between each shot to reduce the RoF.
- Provides the most realistic feel and sound compared to any other forms of RoF reduction.
- Both selector positions can be individually configured.

LiPo / LiFePO4 Monitoring
- Monitors LiPo and LiFePO4 batteries to cutoff power before overdischarge occurs.
- Simply set the number of cells and the controller will use the proper cutoff voltage.
Gearbox Reliability
- Eliminates the trigger jam normally caused by the cutoff lever stopping at a certain position.
- Simpler cutoff mechanism will prevent the fragile cutoff lever from breaking.

Are there any other parts I should buy along with the Chimera kit?
No, all the items you'll need is included in the kit. No need to buy additional wires and connectors.
How do I know if the Chimera can fit in my AEG?
If your AEG has enough room for a cylindrical fuse box then you can swap it out and fit the Chimera in its place. Otherwise use an AA-size battery as reference and see if it can fit somewhere in your AEG.
Is the trigger board compatible with both front and rear wiring?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with any wiring direction.
How durable are the included wires?
The included motor/gearbox wires are Ecowire(mPPE) insulated, which is MUCH tougher than the more common PVC and silicone wires, just as thin as Teflon(PTFE) wires, and also very flexible. This reduces the likelihood of wires being torn in the gearbox, allows 16AWG wiring to easily fit in the gearbox, and the flexibility makes it easier to manage. |
