Good motor overview, this covers all of the basic important info that the average user needs to know. I also think that it is worth mentioning that slower high torque motors can be compensated for by using a low ratio gearset. This can result in equivalent rate of fire but more efficient operation and less heat buildup in the motor. If a motor is the only upgrade that you plan on doing then a 16TPA Neo motor from SHS or one of the many other companies that they are sold under these days is probably one of the best all around choices, but if you are willing to upgrade the gearset to a lower ratio such as a 13:1 or 12:1 from SHS then a higher TPA such as the 22TPA JG Blue or ZCI torque are great options.
Most of that kind of stuff will be covered when I do an overview of gears. Explaining how you can compensate for low rotational velocity with lower-ratio gears just seemed a bit of a tangent for the focus of the motor video, but I did consider it in my original script.
I currently have a frankentorque in both of my primaries right now, one of which has a Riot 10:1 setup and the other is an shs 12:1. The 10:1 setup is incredible and when combined with a BTC spectre using precocking the trigger response is as good as just about anything out there. However, I find that the 12:1 setup actually has worse trigger response than a ZCI 22TPA on SHS 13:1s in my friend's SR25. I plan to switch to a 22TPA arm soon to make up for it. All of these comparisons were done on equivalent 11.1V lipos.
I just put a 10:1 Siegetek gearset into my primary. It also has a 22-TPA ZCI motor and the trigger response is quite amazing.
It's a shame but with the popularity of HPA guns this information will probably be irrelevant to a lot of people. Maybe people will get over it eventually or a superior system will come out but I just cannot handle external air rigs and I think drop in HPA setups provide way too easy of a way to achieve high performance that often tends to lead to superiority complexes and poor sportsmanship on the field.
The superiority complex has a much larger cause than the effortless high performance that HPA provides. I think that the superiority complex is an underlying issue, but people who have it are drawn towards the effortless performance setup.
With that said, I simply find that HPA offers little advantage for my current primary. I plan on making an HPA DMR in the future but for a totally different loadout that is meant for stalking. My current loadout is set up for dynamic, rapid assault and as such is slim and light. An HPA rig would just encumber the entire principle of the setup and offer little advantage over my current primary.
