My 2cents
  • Learn about and use a LiPo battery if you aren't. (Massive performance boost)
  • Get a high TPA torque motor. ZCI makes a good 28tpa one. Make sure you get a SHORT motor if it's a Socom-16 or regular M14. LONG motor for the EBR.
  • The Cyma shell is built like a tank.
  • Cyma gears are good, but you can get faster ones by SHS and Prometheus. Pair those with the motor and you're great for trigger response.
  • SHS makes a cylinder head and nozzle for the Marui style M14 as well - make sure your compression is good
  • Obligatory: Polish the cylinder, correct AOE, shim, etc (DIY youtube videos)
  • Make SURE when you take apart the gearbox you put every screw back where you found it. There are two in particular on the right side of the gearbox that, if switched, will extend into the gearbox and jam your gears.
Sample List:
Mosfet/Lipo (NukeFet is bestest - GATE fets for an arguably easier install)
ZCI High torque motor
SHS/Rocket M14 nozzle
SHS/Rocket M14 Cylinder Head
SHS/Rocket blue piston
SHS/Rocket POM piston head (or Lonex POM if you want to spend more money)
Any V7 ball bearing spring guide
SHS or Prometheus high speed gears (if you want)

You may want a weaker spring as all of this may increase your fps

Hope this gives you some ideas.
