Airsoft toy maintenance install tech guide.

This video I show how to fix a very common issue with a broken redline mini sfr regulators for hpa airsoft speedsoft and milsim guns. The most common issue with these broken regulators is the pressure psi creeps up to 160 psi or 120 psi no matter where you set it. This is caused by a bad oring in the regulator. This is an easy fix to repair and get your polarstar or hicapa back up and running for competition.

I go by Wyhaq here on youtube and on social media platforms. Pronounce my callsign however you like, but I pronounce it as: Why-Hack. I like providing educational resources for all things airsoft, and I might sprinkle in some airsoft entertainment from time to time. The main airsoft toys that this channel will focus on will include the AAP-01 by Action Army (my current favorite platform), the G-Series by Tokyo Marui, and the Hi-Capa by Tokyo Marui. I work for a local airsoft arena and retail, and am a tech for g-series, hicapa, and aap-01. No toys used in my videos are customer’s property. Toys used in my videos come from three sources: my collection, shop customs, and shop commissions. My goal here on youtube is to provide a family friendly source of education for the airsoft community. I may do videos on product, news, tech stuff, gameplay, interviews, tours, and competition. I am here to help, if you have any questions or video requests, make sure to let me know in the comments section. As I am a college student, I can’t go spending money willy nilly. Video requests on stuff I don’t have ready access to may take some time.

Amazing video man, took me 30min and got my reg working again. This thing has been a pain in my ass with it always pressure creeping. Have had to have it fixed 2 times now in less than a year of me owning it.

Thank you so much. Friend of mine borrowed it and “broke” it. I thought I needed to buy a new one. Now I know what to do. 👊

Thanks so much! I got this exact issue and don't know how to fix it.

Also might wanna try cleaning and relubing that oring before replacing it. Worked for me!

yo put the brass parts together in the socket and set the regulator shell down on top of them, then flip it over and take the socket out. i wouldnt grab those brass parts with pliers, and i would be extra careful not to scratch the internal side of the shell either. those could both cause new pressure creep issues that wouldnt be as easy to fix.

Can you tell us what tools/sizes you need for this video

Hi there. When you say grease, what type of grease and is it safe to lube with silicon on the black orings?

[ko-benne]

What if the Mini SFR leaks from the output where the line connects? (like mine does) Is it possible to loosen the output connection?

How did you get one with a black cap? mine is red and I hate it

[chrisburns]

Is it the actual pressure creeping up or is it just the needle moving up, , like will the creep increase the FPS of my airsoft RIF or is it just the needle playing up ?
