We’ve been spending a fair bit of time recently with the latest models to come from ARES Airsoft, and as much as we love the modularity on the MUTANT system we’ve been taken aback by the yet-to-be-released RBD AEG that’s coming from them soon under licence from KelTec; we’ve just finished up our range testing on this striking new bullpup thanks to our mates at iWholesales, and we’ll be totally spilling the beans in Issue 127 that goes live next week!
ARES though have been teasing this week with some images of their funky new minimalist motor design, and it looks as if things are evolving again; we’ve been digging deep and hounding them for more information, but as yet nada, zip, as they seem to be keeping information very close the their chest… and quite honestly who can blame them, as the new brushless motor and setup looks to be righteous! All we can say is what they’ve put out publicly right now, that;
“Some of you may get it right, the new brushless motor will be implanted with the new gearbox! Details will be released regularly. #Q42021”
So, sorry to both thrill and disappoint at the same time, but Jimmy did have us drooling over their new X-Class AEGs (gorgeousness pictured!) earlier today, and the specifications look great!
