Anyway, from the sound of the original post, I can see it being one of 2 things - either the battery is shit and can't crank the spring, or the motor is defective. I would personally try a replacement battery first (since you should get that anyway with these cheap guns - batteries are shit). If you still have the same problem, then it's the motor.

And a word about the battery. Don't constantly recharge it. These guns typically come with cheapo Ni-Cad batteries. These need to be discharged before recharging. Repeatedly recharging the battery when it's not empty, or not fully charging the battery for the recommended amount of time will ruin it. Cheap batteries from Chinese guns are even more prone to this type of failiure. This is why I would replace the battery first. You need it anyway. There's a good chance that it's the problem.

If the battery is not the problem the chances are it's the motor itself.

Sounds to me like you drained the battery out. That's what happens with a Ni-Cad battery... The cycling slows, then eventually stops.

How long are you charging your battery for anyway?

Well turns out its not the battery. WHen i hooked it up my volt meter read 7.6 volts going through the wire so the battery is ok. But when i hook it up to my other motor it moves FAST. When i hook it up to my mp5 motor it clicks. Any idea how i can fix my motor with out buying a new one?

if it suddenly stopped on you, your spring is probably compressed at the moment.

if you dont get a battery soon and decompress it, expect to be shooting around 100FPS when you get it working

It depends what happened to the motor. It's not easy to tell without having someone look at it. Like I said, the coil spring that goes around the posts at the bottom breaking will cause low torque. I've never had any other issue with a motor so I'm not sure how easy other ones would be to fix.

even if it's not the battery, the spring is probably decompressed at the moment. if you dont solve it fast, your gun will be shooting alot less than what you would expect

you know you live in an area with alot of players and some of them are gun docs. you can most likely meet up with one of them at panther paintball durring a game get age verified and leave your gun with the doc maybe even borrow a high end batt to test.
