Motor that can efficiently pull an m140

incrediboy729 · July 7th, 2009, 20:46

Hello all.
I am looking for a motor that can pull an m140 off of a 10.8v elite mini with normal torque gears. I am mainly debating between
G&P M160

Matrix Magnum

and of course Systema Magnum, or any other suggestions you might have. What do you think? I'm not particularily concerned with ROF as much as cost. Obviously the Systema Magnum would be ideal, should i just bite the bullet and get that or is there something that could pull it for cheaper? Also my local airsoft shop has a magnum clone made by SRC, personally i'm not particularily fond of SRC but if it's any good i might give it a try.
Thank you for your time.

Getting a stronger motor is just a band-aid solution... swap the gears before you swap the motor. Otherwise, your gears will just be a very weak link in the chain.

If you get properly torqued gears, you don't even need to upgrade your motor.

That was my original plan, but my CA motor is old and overheated and lacks much power at all, so i could use a new motor anyways. But at some point if i needed to i would be gettting new gears.
Thanks for the help.

If that's the case and you HAVE to replace the motor, I personally like the Systema Magnum motors....

That was kindof what i was leaning towards but i wasn't sure if they were quite worth the cost. Thanks.

I've got a couple of the G&P M160's. Really nice motors. One setup is DMR rifle with a M140 spring, G&P M160 motor, DonP's latest Trigger Master MOSFET programmed to semi-only, and a Zippy 20C/4000mAh 11.1 lipoly.

How would it do without a lipo? Is the lipo neccessary to pull it or just more of an added plus? Thanks man.
