LOL I have the best prometheus Piston in there currently. But yea i am aware that it would strip pistons and need ongoing maintinence. This is the reason behind the variable voltage options.

Feeds for 8.4v Selection - Standard Rates of fire - Easy going game.

Feeds for 9.6v Selection - Starting to assist in pushing forward with the team.

Feeds for 10.8v Selection - Situation is getting a little Hairy and a few of the team players i am with are shot reducing our numbers.

Feeds for 12v Selection - Things are up shit creek, all my teams been shot, im the last man standing and need to guard a missin objective... Guns set to 12v, electronic grenades are at the ready and i would be set to go judge dread/ robocop on anyones ass coming near!

The projec tis using Mosfets, these reduce current to the triger assembly down to like 10 miliamps, not 40+ Amps that would most likly melt it. This will prevent and remove the chance of trigger falior.

They key with a project like this is to reduce the failior of every single section of the gun to as low as possible or channel the failior in a direction you know where it will occur. If i can remove the falior to just general piston wear i would be happy. The Pro-win gearbox would let me stripa new piston out and place a new on in within minutes so this would be an idea *intended wear point*

At least. Id slow that beast down more. As is youll probably get a few seconds worth of playable time with it shooting 30+ rounds per second. Ive got to commemorate your optimism, but at a certain point it just becomes unrealistically impractical man.

again, good luck.
Again lol.. Any link to that sugested piston and other reasons for it? The slow down is not really needed. As mentioned i will most likly use 8.4 or 9.6 most of the time. The 10.8 and 12v is for situations where i'm taking on 3-4+ people on my own.

Humm... That is a thought. I do use a Prometheus MS110 in the M15A4 SPC i upgraded... The gearbox would be able to handle the high fps and say 350fps no worries also... Hell i'll just order in springs between 300 and 350 fps and check the ROF with the Madbull Chrono to get an idea... Besides i can always do spring changes too. Yea it is going to be an outdoor gun too. But the gearbox will allow it to be lowered to indoor fps..

Out limits here are 328fps indoors - Strickt) and outdoors there is a 10% diviation to a maximum of 350-360fps at some sites that allow this.

Cheers for the replies!

The thing that makes me positive on this is this...

My M15A4 SPC ran for 9 months under powered at 280fps... With the Stock internals. The CA piston came out after, wait for it..... 80,000bb's and it was unmarked... I mean utery brand spanking new looking and thats on a 9.6v speed from day 1 with about 18-20bb's per seccond fire rate...

That is not bad going at all...
