As promised an update,
- Piston replaced by an aluminium piston taken from a G&P M4 gearbox, slightly heavier than its plastic counterpart. Hopefully it'll prove much tougher than it's plastic counterparts.
- Battery changed, now it's a 8.4V made from Sub-C GoldPeak 4300mAh Ni-MH, rated 30 amps cyclic, 60 amps peak.
- Everything else was left the way it was. STU Motor, HS Gears, 150% spring. But I rewired the gearbox with 12AWG wiring.
Result, the ROF is still fast as hell, slightly down from what it originaly was, but not really noticeable, maybe 3 or so rounds per second less. So far so good, I've been running extensive dryfiring and the piston still seems to be in good shape. Combat testing will be done this sunday.
