The battery I'm currently using in my rifle is an 8.4V 2500 mAh. It performs well and have no real complaints. The 2 batteries I ordered are 9.6V 3300mAh. Both the extra voltage and capacity should help out somewhat. I know the capacity is only 800 mAh more, so that won't do a whole lot, but I think that should help, especially with the higher voltage.

Lately I've realized how fast the trigger response is on my RS Type 56. Even with my 8.4V 1500 mAh battery, trigger response is almost instantaneous. I don't even hear the damn motor winding up before the shot. When I tried connecting my C8's 9.6V 2000 mAh battery, trigger time was even quicker, and rof increased nicely from about 12 bb/s to 19 bb/s. I would love to be able to get both that kind of response (not likely) and rof out of my M15.

But I think that what you suggested, Splashx, makes sense... a kickass high torque motor with high torque gears would increase the initial torque and response time, while keeping the rof reasonable too.

Just another thing - half-tooth pistons. If I WERE to install just a high torque motor, would a half-tooth piston actually work with stock gears? IN theory (assuming it could be installed with standard gears), would that effectively decrease my rate of fire, theoretically by 1/2?
