Practical A.E.G Upgrade 2006

Should I upgrade to an EG1000 for higher ROF?

How do I optimize the stock motor’s RPM without spending major $?

Frankly, the difference in speed between an EG700 and an EG1000 is not

significant. If you really want to see some visible differences, spend more $ on a

Systema high speed motor, which has much higher RPM (37,400) than an

EG1000 (27,552).

As mentioned earlier, you may replace the stock motor springs (the springs that

hold the brushes up against the commutator) in order to achieve higher RPM.

Softer springs produce less tension and less amp draw, thus resulting in higher

RPM. Take the motor to a local electronic shop and find a pair of springs that

work for you. Do keep in mind that very soft springs are no good as they allow

the brushes to bounce on the commutator. Some trial and error may be

necessary to get this done properly.
