Im not saying this is DEFINITLY the problem in my case, since im just speculating, but to say that spring length is irrelivent would be wrong. I even tried my buddies kracken spring in my mechbox(380-400fps) and the gear box/battery pulled it back just fine.

In addition to that, adding a bearing sping guide and a bearing piston head, take up just over 1/2" more room then the factory components. So i dont think its nieve of me to think that a longer, tighter wound spring, in a SMALLER space, could infact bottom itself out before the piston has a chance to go through its full travel.

That's not the problem you're having, I've upgraded quite a few guns with modify bearing spring guides and piston heads with modify springs.

I'm 90% sure your motor is too weak.
