If you provide an exact part list of your setup (include battery type, motor, spring, gear set, etc) and we might be able to help diagnose your problem.

Further to that, you may consider short-stroking if you really wish to have insanity rate of fire!
I actually don't want a high ROF setup. By installing the MOSFET I was hoping to gain active motor braking and added trigger response. I knew the rate of fire would also be increased, just not to that extent. Before the MOSFET, the gun shot right around 18-20 RPS and like I was saying....the MOSFET can be programmed to adjust motor speed. So, hopefully I can dial it down to around 20 RPS.

As for the gun it is a G&P m4
Battery: 9.6v Elite 2000 4/5A cells
Motor: Stock, G&P m120
Gear set: Due to the known problem of the axles failing on G&P gears, I had to replace them with some "China" gears set.
Spring: Stock....was shooting between 350-370 FPS w/.2
Bushings: Stock, 8mm ball bearing
Everything is pretty much stock except for the swapped out gear set.

Thanks for the help!
