Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - upgrade motor question, less rps than stock?

Hi all,
Pretty new to airsoft but I watched many vids and tinker at everything. I have a G&G ARP 556 and G&G Raider L 2.0E.

Have shimmed the gears perfectly on both and just upgraded bucking and adjusted AOE.

My question is that I wanted to try an upgraded motor and was discussing with a tech from a local shop. He seemed to know his stuff. He sold me an apparently 35Krpm high torque motor a ZC Leopard M-146.
He told me it would be much better than my stock motors however, my 556 has a 25Krpm and the raider has an 18Krpm.
This M-146 motor is slower in the 556 and same speed in the raider.

Is this a defective motor or was the tech not aware that the new generation G&G motors are actually very strong and was comparing to older generations? Also running 11.1V lipos if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
