I thought I would start documenting a complete build-up of a brand-new VFC M4A1 RIS II FDE (aka M4A1 block2)

Follow along on this build!

I'm really liking the blog format of the new site, and that rifle is definitely a piece of work ... thanks for the new bookmark and I can't wait to see what comes down the pipe next.

It is done. Paint + final chrono numbers.

I'd love a 'Like Button' on here. Excellent amalgamation of info, and an excellent looking build

Another build starting up, but first an in-depth review of the HAO Geissele HK416 SMR rail compared to the real deal.

A comparison between the ASG Ultimate U-18000 motor and the SHS High-torque.

Thread stickied to keep it near the top, I'm liking this one.

I like this thread too. How's the asg 18k motor compare build wise to the jg blue ones? Tpa same I think. Is the arm skewed in the asg motor?

Isn't JG Blue 22 TPA? ASG is 28TPA.
Haven't torn the motor apart to be honest so I couldn't tell you if it's skewed, that's another post for another day when I'm less flooded.

Magnets on the ASG are quite good, on par with Tienly and SHS HT.

Hmm..? Maybe it is a 22tpa? Don't remember which arm I pulled from mine..?

Reading about the motors in this comparison, what would be a HT motor that has good meshing with Siegetek gears (or just use a Siegetek pinion) that is low power consumption?
Price not an option.
