Best Motor for your gun?
 

Hello All,

I know there are lots of different "upgraded" motors for your Airsoft guns in the market.

1) Which ones in your opinion are your favorite, balance between PERFORMANCE and PRICE?

2) How much do you think is a reasonable price for a top of the line high grade upgraded motor?

3) Do you prefer higher TORQUE motors or higher SPEED? or an ultimate motor that can do both?

Please let me know!

One that works :)

id be willing to dish out about 40 buck for a good motor, and since i'm not running anything higher than 380 fps on my aegs with stock ratio gearset a mid ranged torque/ speed motor would be awesome!

edit: meant to say 40 usd...

You realize stock TM motors cost nearly $40 overseas.....right?

I'd be willing to pay up to $45 USD (about $55-60 CAD?) for a good motor with nice price/performance.

For me it's all about realism so if I had to choose one or the other I'd probably pick the high torque so that if I needed to I could upgrade to M120 or M130 springs and take the hit in speed (I don't need 99 BB/sec just enough to make it seem more realistic). Also just because there's that extra overhead available for high torque (can run up to M170 springs I believe) so you don't have your motor running at it's "redline" so to speak if you're using an M120 on a high speed (will a high speed even pull back an M120?).

Keep in mind I don't know much about motors. This is just what I'm thinking.

Also for a top of the line motor, I'd probably pay up to $65 USD (~$75-80 CAD?).

G&P makes excellent motors for the price. I have 3 M120 High Speed motors, 1 M140 High Torque, and 2 M160 Supercharger motors. Never had any problems with any of them.

my guarder motor cost me like $70 CDN, but im sure that was inflated for retailer costs and importation fees and whatnot.

Though from my experience, their pinion gears suck ass. Motors still very good mind you. Guarders are really nice though, same with CA.

I love stock TM motors however if I had to choose I would say G&P does makes a sexy motor line.

G&P or Guader Infinite Torque are the best for value.

Some might disagree, but the JG motors that come in the HK416 and with the aftermarket JG mechboxes are pretty kickass. They have excellent torque (designed for M120+ springs) and good speed too. They kick the shit out of a TM EG1000 for both torque and speed, And they have better torque than a stock CA motor. I have them in a few of my guns, and I love them. I'd gladly put them in all my guns.

Speaking of motors does anyone know about new systema magnum special motors?

I wonder what has been improved/changed. I thought it was for their revolution motors but it doesn't state that the motor is specifically for the revolution at all.

Idk about that, my CA couldn't pull an m130 so i tried my friends JG HK416 motor and pulled it about the same amount back also. But maybe, i'm not that fimiliar with motors.

The Systema Magnum motor would be the "best motor": insane torque and speed, but it's $100. Although i've heard the pinion gears suck, and also do not put it in a stock gun because it is so powerful it will rip through your internals like butter.

That's odd, because those JG motors are made to pull M120+ springs. The 416 comes with an M120, and current generation of the aftermarket JG mechboxes come loaded with an M130, and that motor has no issues pulling them. Perhaps you need a more powerful battery. That plays a big part too. If the motor can't draw enough current from the battery, it can't crank the spring. An M130 is a pretty strong spring.

I have one in my JG 416, and with the stock M120 spring, it pulled it like nobody's business and giving me a rof of 22/second with a large 9.6V 3300 mAh battery. I installed a whole new mechbox in my MP5, including a set of Modify torque-up modular gears, shooting about 350. I have the JG motor in that as well, and it cranks it like nuts. Before with standard ratio gears, I used to have a rof of 12.8/second. Now with the torque-up gears and the JG motor, I get 11.9/second (using the same spring). The stock MP5 motor will give me 9/second only wiht the new torque-up gears. For last week's game at Op Broadsword, I switched the TM EG1000 motor out of my custom C8 for a my 416's JG motor, and trigger response and rof both increased dramatically. I tried it in my CA M15 a while back (stock CA gears, shooting 385) and it gave me faster trigger response and higher rof.

So for the price, they're an incredible value considering performance. I would love to get my hands on more of them for the rest of my guns. They've proven to perform well and be very durable.

And yeah, Systema motors are the shit, but they're expensive as hell and hazardous to use in a stock gun. I've also heard about weak pinion gears, but have no personal experience with them.

That sounds much more like the battery being too week than anything directly motor related.
