Upgraded gearbox= upgraded motor?

[D_WINTERS14]

I am upgrading my gearbox, i have a 9.6 v nun chuck battery 1400mah and a stock motor. Now if i upgrade my gearbox, it'll shoot aprox 50fps more than stock should i buy a high torque motor?

im pretty sure upgrading your motor wont increase your fps.. seeing as that is what springs and better compression are for....

I said i was upgrading my gearbox, with a higher tension spring, so it will increase fps. I just want to know if the motor will be able to keep up with an upgraded gearbox, or should i just buy a new high torque one.

Thanks in advance

It SHOULD still work but there will obviously be a decrease in ROF

my bad, i could have sworn it said motor where it now says gearbox.

haha yeah i edited it

lol that would do it.

also what fps will your gun be shooting when it is upgraded because you said it is going up 50 but you didnt state what it will be firing at when all is done

Roughly 400 fps with .20's but i'd be using .25 so i'm guessing mmmm 360 ish i'm not too sure

High mah will only make your gun shoot low rpm for a longer time. To get high ROF you'd need higher voltage like 10.8 or lipo 11.1 but you run the risk of overworking and frying your motor. Short answer... upgrade your motor as well. 400 fps is typically an M120 so you need nigh torque. Stock motor will work, but it'll be like towing a trailer with a Neon.
