Gear sets and Gear ratios question

[Mysteryfish]

Hey all.

Okay, my summary of my question:

- I would like to upgrade my AK-47, and have a few goals in mind:

1) Stock, or near stock power (max- maybe a sp110, or M100 - m120)
2) LOW ROF, low battery drain, high torque


Basically, i'm looking for a relatively low powered, low ROF gun.

I was under the impression that with a stock spring, Torque-Up gears would lower my ROF. Does anyone know by how much?

Also, what else can I do (while staying with 8.4volt batteries) to lower my ROF and minimize motor strain (while maintaining stock to lightly upgraded FPS)?

or any other tips?

Basically, i know that high-speed gears will increase ROF, and torque up gears will lower it, but i'm hoping to find some numbers or something to give me an impression of whether or not I could lower my ROF to 600 or 700 RPM, and still run a low power or medium power spring.

Thanks..

there are several types of torque-up
I run systema super-torque and a 3000mah 8.4v

I couldnt tell you how much they lower it, its noticable though, lower then stock gears by a good bit.

Adding a metal piston and head will make the gun louder, make each cycle louder and thus, more noticably slower(breaks up the sound into crack, crack, crack....instead of BIZ-BIZ-BIZ(say it really fast))

Higher torque gears dont need alot of juice to turn over.
you could even run a very high mah 7.2v

is it specifically rof your after? of battery/gun life?

Both, I'd like increased battery life, increased gun life, and a lower rate of fire.

I wouldn't run a 7.2 I don't think, but I'd like an 8.4 to last a long time.

the easiest way is to just reduce motor input voltage. the motor will run fine with a 7.2v battery. it won't draw an excessive amount of current at the lower voltage but yet will reduce motor speed by about 15% which translates into a 15% reduction in rof. of course the high torque gears will also help some, but they won't alter your rof by the same 15% or even anywhere close. your gear teeth would have to be very much larger and there would have to more of them in order to reduce speed significantly, especially on the bevel gear which has the fewest teeth to start with.

Um... thanks!

Ok.. So that's fine. Reducing battery voltage is an option, but I'd ruled that out as a PREFERRED option already.

I think I'll just make an experiment out of it, and throw some torquey gears in there and maybe an m100.

I'll tell y'all what it sounds like.

Thanz eferee-boddy.
