Matrix Magnum High Performance Torque Motor

This motor is available for purchase on Evike.com for $45.00.  Supposedly, this motor will increase rate of fire, and increase torque.  So, does it?  Today we will analyze it.  I currently have an m120 installed in my gun.

First, the basics:

• uses neodymium magnets to provide maximum torque
• High speed version as well.  Distinguished by colored blue, while the red is for the torque motor.
• recommended spring weight is m100 to m170.
• More gun tuning may be required to use springs beyond m130, and beyond m140 requires extreme gun modification to handle and pull the spring.
• I DO NOT recommend putting an m140 or heavier spring in your gun.  Wear will be high and new gears will be necessary just to pull the spring.
• Comes in long, short, and medium type.

Scoring:

• Construction: 7/10, neo magnets are strong, but pinion gear is not.  I recommend replacing soon after you receive it.
• Strength: 8/10, Powerful motor under the right conditions, but stock gearboxes should not use higher than an m130.

Classic Army Reinforced Gears

Hello, and welcome to Destroyer Airsoft.  Today I will be reviewing the Classic Army Reinforced torque up gear set.   This comes with all 3 gears, and is available on Airsplat.com for $49.99.

The basics:

• These are CNC Machined Steel gears.
• the package doesn’t include an anti-reversal latch, bushings/bearings, or shims.

Construction:

• Again, CNC Machined Steel.
• good for pulling heavier springs.
• should last quite a while if taken care of/used properly.

Scoring:

• Construction: 10/10, teeth are great, weight is good
• Inside the Gearbox: 8/10, sped up my gun to about 13 RPS from 12.  Not that big a deal.

Buy these gears if you want better torque inside your gun.  I am currently pulling an M120 on my SCAR-L, with a 7.4v 20c LiPoly battery, with a high speed/torque Matrix 3000 Motor.

Elite Force CQC M4 Competition Review

I haven’t delved too deep into the gun yet, but it is pretty good from what I can tell so far.  I am running a Valken 7.4v 20C 1200 mAh LiPoly battery.

First, The Basics of the gun:

• Comes in black, with a blazing orange tip on the front of the integrated suppressor.
• Comes with flip up sights (push the button on either side to flip up, but not both).
• Comes with a crane stock.
• Included when purchased is the gun, a 300 rd mag, an un-jamming rod, and a foregrip.
• DOES NOT include a battery/charger, bb’s (dependent on where purchased).

Next, the motor:

• Higher torque than most stock motors
• not made for speed
• Long type
• RECOMMENDED UPGRADING if you want speed.  Mine only put out about 8 RPS.
• I put a matrix 3000 high Speed/Torque motor, and is now pushing 15~16 RPS.

Will update posting with internals when I have the time to pull it apart.

SO FAR:

• Shoots good and powerful, at about 340 FPS (Mine anyways)

Scoring:

• Stock ROF: 3/10, could be worse, but not much.
• Stock FPS: 9.5/10, Perfect for most CQC fields varying between 310 for some to 340 for me.
• External Construction: 9/10, awesome weight and strength, especially for an ABS and metal construction.  Almost no wobble anywhere on the gun, except in the stock, which is minimal.
• Internal Construction: Not currently available.  Will post on it soon though.

Recommendations:

• New motor
• Elite Force mid caps provide the best fit and best feeding capabilities.  Highly recommend these magazines.
• Elite Force BB’s.  Any weight.  They are extremely reliable, inexpensive, polished, and seamless.

Always remember to obey local laws, field regulations, keep your gun in a case or bag when carrying in public, clean your gun’s barrel regularly, listen to law enforcement, and ONLY USE HIGH QUALITY BB’S (hint hint, elite force).
