TECHNICAL
AEG MOTORS have never had that rate of fire in my life and I don ’ t know many people who strive for that kind of fire power . The fact my gearbox withstood that kind of punishment astonished me , as it was not built for a high ROF seeing I used 18:1 ratio gears . I continued the abuse and dumped another 6,000 BBs in about an hour , mag dump after mag dump and not once did that motor hesitate . The motor also has incorporated a built in custom designed ESC ( Electric Speed Controller ) which features a handy LVC ( Low Voltage Cutoff ) at 3.1v and over current draw , which will protect your LiPo batteries from over discharge which can cause you cells to degrade .
THE NEED FOR SPEED !
Warhead have produced three speed variants to their motors and at present they are only available in a long shaft but the wait won ’ t be long for a short shaft version . You can find all the info at www . warheadindustries . com Version 1 : Ultra high speed 35,000rpm 7.4v- 52,000rpm 11.1v Version 2 : High speed 25,000rpm 7.4v- 36,000rpm 11.1v Version 3 : standard speed 20,000rpm 7.4v- 30,000rpm 11.1v
Why would you want to use a brushless motor in your AEG ?
To start with , it is the step forward that AEG motor technology needs , quite frankly ! Brushless output is significantly higher and has more efficient output and has a lower susceptibility to mechanical wear than their brushed counterparts . Brushless motors also offer a number of advantages , including :
• higher torque to weight ratio
• increased torque per watt of power input
• increased reliability and lower maintenance requirements
• reduced operational noise
• increased lifespan
• elimination of ionizing sparks from the commutator as it hasn ’ t got one
• near elimination of electromagnetic interference
I would like to thank Warhead industries for allowing me to give this motor a damn good torturetesting and I really look forward to what they have in store for the future of airsoft . Please do watch this space and follow us for more info as we shall be giving away to one lucky reader one of these beautiful motors soon ! AA www . airsoftaction . net 63
