Beginers guide to AEG motors in airsoft. High torque/High speed, Long or short. What does it mean? 

Hi, thanks. I'm sorry for the late reply and thank you for your kind comments. I'm hoping to get some more brands in the mix. The channel has been quite for a little while due to some medical issues. Hopefully there will be some new stuff on here soon though.

That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, apologies for the late response. I'm glad your finding the videos useful. I'm hoping to get some more out sooner rather than later. Had some issues for the last 18 months but hopefully that's coming to an end now.

Thanks, I'm really glad you like the video. Thanks for reaching out, appreciate it. That's certainly something to be aware of, I certainly didn't know it. Sorry to hear you've had 2 go down. I've been asked before about mosfet compatibility with brushless motors and never really had an answer. I guess I've been lucky so far with mosfet and motor compatibility. Like you though I've found their performance to be great. Thanks man hope you keep enjoying them.

@@rockbottomairsoft yes man, I totally enjoy useful content... In regards to compatibility, I was using it with a Gate Warfet on my personal replica, and changed it to my friends replica and shot several times and then puff, no response and there it goes... No more... Both motors

That's very strange, makes me wonder what would cause it to happen. Might have to do a bit more research into it.

I'm glad it helped you out.

Thats something I can look to do in a future video.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Certainly

Hi Apologies for the late reply. The email is rockbottomaisoftuk@gmail.com.

Hi, apologies for the late reply. I normally wouldn't recommend anything to extreme on a support based replica as I would favour reliability over outright performance. Having said that though a decent quality torque based motor would certainly work well with an 11.1. Should give you a snappier trigger and slight bump in ROF.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful. Risk wise your basically just looking at the usual wear issues. If you run it faster then of course the parts will wear more rapidly. You should be OK though. Always be aware of pre engagement but if that's an issue on 11.1 then drop to 7.4 and you should be fine. Overall when I refer to damage its more to increasing failure risk. A fault with a weak motor will be exaggerated with a strong motor but obviously that's only if there was a fault there to start with.

@@rockbottomairsoft Thank you for the very quick response. This is great information to run with and understand Cheers!

No problem at all, I hope its useful. Good luck with the upgrades. I hope it goes well.

Not necessarily. A lot will boil down to the spring you want to run and what outcome you want. There are generally not many benefits to a high speed motor, but on stock 18:1 gears it should work fine. Brushless changes the rules slightly but I've always found that standard brushed motors are far more effective with high torque. Better trigger response and more forgiving for gear/spring choice. But if your set on high speed then generally the draw should be fine on an otherwise standard box with moderate spring rate.

Hahaha, it certainly sounds that way sometimes. But definitely motors. Haven't got my hands on a mortar... yet.

For 13:1 you would be best with a torque motor in my opinion something like 22 TPA. You might get away with a balance motor such as 18 - 20 TPA but I think High Torque would be best for respone. Hope this helps.

@@rockbottomairsoft yeah I've never done any tech work on AEG's before but it's just something I really want to do. Gbb pistols are easy and I'm pretty sure I could build a hi capa blindfolded by now

If you like working on things or tinkering you will have no issues. The electrical circuit is very simple and mechanically its more fiddly than complex. Just remember if your going for a speed build though have a read up on PME, it can be a problem.

@@rockbottomairsoft just my cqb rifle, want it to shoot faster so it's semi only. I'm not really fussed about these insane HPA guns. I'm not willing to spend that amount, even though I could

HPA can be awesome, not cheap like you say. Not my thing though. Don't like the whole hose line thing.

Well I do watch a lot of movies but unfortunately I've never been to America. I'm from a small town in Lancashire but currently live in Scotland.
