Improving ROF with a high-torque set up?
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 1:03 am
Several months ago, my G&P M16a3's gearbox finally gave out. Rather than doing a cheap "Frankenstein job" with my drawer full of spare parts, I decided to buy a brand new gearbox for my beloved rifle as well as a new motor. I bought an M120 high-torque gearbox as well as a high-torque motor. (Mainly in the interest of getting a good trigger response.) I then paired it with a 9.6v 2000 mah battery.
To my surprise, the rate of fire was considerably low. Especially compared to what its previous gearbox/motor could do on an 8.4v. I'll admit that I don't think I've put enough rounds through it to fully break it in, as I've only used it in a few games since replacing the gearbox. Is there anything I can do to improve the ROF, or am I just going to have to give in and buy a lipo?
