I thought about that but when I went at the clip with a file it didn't do much. Guess I shouldn't have gone whole hog and bought the king arms titanium clip, a cheaper one would be modifyable.
As for high fps and highspeed. I found that I can't run lower power springs with highspeed setups. Even an M100 will result in a stripped piston on me because it can't return the piston to the forward position fast enough. I had an AK up at 398fps and around 35rps, my current main M4A1 (ICS) is 390fps and above 25rps, my secondary M4 is running on a 10.8V battery with highspeed gears and a highspeed motor but I haven't had a chance to check it out in detail but its nuts.
If your gears strip, get all helical as they have 1.5x the tooth area in contact at any given time. If your motor pinion gear strips get a SystemA motor with chromoly pinion gear. If your piston strips get a Prometheus hard type or Deep Fire full metal tooth piston. Bearings are a must not bushings, good shimming is manditory, as is a sector gear clip. Also a huge honking battery to provide the maximum amperage draw of the motor for maximum speed and torque.
-SystemA Magnum motors have higher speed than even an EG1000 but insane torque (can run up to an Ms190 I think)
-SystemA Turbo motors can run up to an Ms135 so no problems using it in any gun allowable at standard fields in Canada
-SystemA all helical highspeed gears are awesome and you can get matching bearings
-Prometheus highspeed gears are great and have 5 lug anti-reversal on the bevel gear so no wind back
-HurricanE highspeed gears get the job done but I wouldn't use em with 400fps setups
-G&P Torque type motor is quite fast, way faster than an EG1000 though no where near the torque of a Magnum
-G&P Speed I have one but haven't installed it yet
-G&P Ultra are supposed to be great but I have as of yet to test one
-TM, STAR, ICS, and several other brands of pistons strip really fast
-Prometheus hard type pistons are great
-Deep Fire all metal toothed pistons are amazing
-Guarder standard polycarb pistons (gray ones) are nothing special in appearance but I have actually had a lot of luck with them
-TM EG1000 motor could barely turn over my 380fps spring in my secondary M4, no idea why as it works fine in a standard gun, tossed in a SystemA Magnum and now shes shooting plastic laser beams
