Ok. I am very interested in the Jack system. So,what would be a good Base gun i could get to install the Jack on. Trying to spend less than 500 if possible 😕
I'm getting the JACK soon and I'm new to HPA, if you guys could do a video on the setting in the FCU that would be great and if you already have one of you could link it that would be awesome!! Thanks :)
Yes, however, you will need a different type of harness to allow the gearbox to split. PolarStar does offer these and it's something that we can order in. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Hey I have a question, would this work in a gun that previously had a mosfet for burst? Would the selector go safe, semi, full auto and then full auto again?
With the JACK or any other PolarStar engine, you have Safe, Semi, and Full Auto positions. You can independently set your semi position and full auto positions any way you want.
My safety latch didn’t have a spring with it. It just sat under the trigger. What do I do? Also i took apart 2 gearboxes. One doesn’t have a safety latch and one does but no spring on it
Blitz BNR-34 there really is no true way to do it but it's still functions pretty well. I did put some washers under the nozzle when u take the nozzle out and cut them in a certain way and it worked better. But over all it doesn't matter if it's just a little bit off
on a scale from 1-10 how easy is this? im getting a polarstar and this vi helped me thank you btw but i just wanna know if i can do this myself and with a friend>>>
This probably sounds like a really noob question but, I have an apex delta with a quick change spring system and I was wondering if you can put the jack into that gearbox because I know the shell has a different shape to it, I don't know if the jack will work in it because all of the installs I've seen are on normal gearboxes.

Hello I have a question I have a bout a 8 inch inner barrel and polar star jack and I was wondering how I could get like straighter lines or tighter groupings when full autoing at 60rps?
Seth, You could run the wires to the rear through the stock with a little modification to the stock and body, or you could run it to your motor grip. -Kurtis
+Jaques Coury Yes it can I saw a guy at tac city with a Jack he said he was hitting 56 rof but just so you know as your rof goes up the fps goes down. If I were you I would stick anywhere from 22-39 rps after all most fields only allow 30 rps. Some might allow any, but I'd stick to like 32 rps.
Could I drop this into an ares gearbox? Cause there is a micro switch trigger and I'm not sure if the trigger it's self will work with the trigger board
Can anyone help me out? I installed everything and full auto works perfectly fine. The problem is that it will not fire semi, even if i move the selector around slightly
Hi there Tyler, This is more than likely due to your selector always activating the full auto switch on the trigger board. If you remove your gearbox, you will be able to see this. If you can't see the switch when in the semi position and it's still located under the selector plate, you will need to remove the selector plate and file enough of the material away to allow for it to not be activated when the plate is in the semi position. Make sure not to take too much away! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at sales@ampedairsoft.com and we will help you out! Thanks! Kurtis
Kurtis Hardy Thanks Kurtis! I just got done watching a video on this and that’s exactly what it was, I just had to file down a little and now it works great! Thanks again
@AmpedAirsoft I have a question. OK 5 years ago I bought a dboys Scar-L and I was wondering if this was compatible and if so how would I go about installing it. Along with that what kind of reinforcement could you do to the wires on this system if you have a folding stock such as the scar's.
Hey guys I was just wondering I was at tac city with my friend and we had KWA cqr's. A ton of guys there had Hpa guns like almost literally all, like wolverine smp, I think hydra, valken, and of course Polarstar. But one guy had a Jack and I thought does it have a much faster trigger response. Because the fusion engine has a instant trigger response and Jack has an instantaneous trigger response. So does that mean faster or slower? And the guy at All things speedsoft TV said the same thing. I never fired a Polarstar or any hpa gun. So I don't know what it'll be like? Can someone answer please?
Riley Sheehan i contacted Polarstar about a question for my umarex g36. they said theey have been working on that gearbox with the Jack. so i think it will work with yours too.
Are you referring to a Jack Player Kit? If so, then you will need to install the jack yourself. However, if you ordered a pre-built gun from us, then we do the installing for you. All depends what you ordered.
Not really. Unless you don’t use and amped IGL. The regular flimsy macro lines can fit through the grip just as is. But to fit a braided line you have to widen the motor hole to accommodate the circumference. There’s not really a way around that. You need a 1/2 sized drill bit.
Hey guy I just got my jack but it is not working for some reason everything seems to be right and I bought a battery and it has life in it and I connect the air hose and it still doesn't shoot do you think it could be the battery? Or something else. Thanks
Can you help me just finished putting mine together last night and it seems to be stuck on full auto. Took it back apart and just wondering what to check ?
HI there Mark! Typically this is due to the selector switch always depressing the full auto button on the back of the trigger board. You may need to modify your selector plate so that it does not come in contact with the button when it is in the semi position. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Kurtis
Personally I like the FE or F2. (The F2 is the "inside your gearbox version" of the Fusion Engine. So essentially a mini Fusion Engine) It comes down to personal preference. Both have an insane trigger response. -Kurtis
so why is it that his hpa line is turned on and no air is coming out? because when I turn mine on I have to connect it to the engine first then turn on my rig.
+Zach raptor Our lines have a fitting that self seals when it's not connected to a fitting. Do you have our amped line? If so please let us know and we can get you a replacement part. If it's within warranty timeframe (6 months) we can replace any necessary parts necessary. If not we should have the parts you need on hand. Thanks! Kurtis
Sorted the selection plate. Gun is working really nice but I have a slight problem. Sometimes when I fire the white poppet stays open and releases loads of air. Do you know why this is happening ? Thanks again
Hi there Mark! If the nozzle is sticking back, this can be due to poor alignment of the JACK unit/gearbox within the Gun body. Have you checked your nozzle alignment by shinning a light into your magazine well and seeing if the nozzle is centered? Another issue could be lubrication of the nozzle, but if this is a new unit, that may not be the issue. If you have any further issues, please shoot us an email at sales@ampedairsoft.com. Thanks! Kurtis
Really appreciate you getting back to me. I'm having another look at it tomorrow but it was happening before I even put it back in to the gun casing. It was happening in the gearbox. And it is a brand new unit so I think the lubricant should be fine. When i looked down the barrel with a light the nozzle looked as if it was sitting perfect. I will let you know how I get on tomorrow but really thanks again I really do appreciate it 👌👍
Mark, No problem! Hmmm if it's happening before going into the gun casing, please make sure to double check that your FCU is set to F1 and NOT FE. Fe is for a fusion engine and can cause the Jack to do some odd things. If your Jack is new and you are still having this issue, please reach out to us at sales@ampedairsoft.com and we will help troubleshoot and begin the warranty process if needed. Let us know! Thanks! Kurtis
I'm not new to airsoft but I'm new to polarstars. I wanted to build a polarstar dmr for the quietness, and I was wondering if I need a v2/v3 polarstar fusion engine and a polarstar jack in order to make my gun a polarstar. Do I need both or just one?
Hi there! This sounds like you have debris within your nozzle orings, which allows air to pass through. Please tear down your Jack and clean/lubricate all of your orings. Check for any debris and remove it before placing it back together. This should fix your problem. If it does not and you find that your orings are damaged, you may need to purchase a Jack O-Ring Rebuild kit located here: ampedairsoft.com/polarstar-airsoft-complete-o-ring-and-screw-kit-jack/ Hope this helps!
