M4 rate of fire upgrade advice

[wing]

Hi, all! I jumped into airsoft guns three months ago. I apologize for my questions  in advance, if they are kind of stupid questions.

I am trying to figure out how to upgrade my rate of fire. Currently, I am useing 7.4V lipo battery and SHS high torque long motor. I am not satisfied with the rate. So I want to upgrade it. I google it and read a lot. But it is still diffcult for me to figure out the connection of upgrading part.

Generally, first step will be buy a 11.1v battery which will be the easiest way to increase the rate. However, in partol base website, I thought they are trying to say that using 11.1v battery may cause damage. Higher volt may be a reason to increase afford of motor. But I feel that it is seemed like the MOSFET is not so compulsory to control. So I don't know it is good to buy 11.1v battery for direct use or not.

Then, getting a new high speed motor is a good way. This may be the most simple way too? Because except battery and motor, next step will be get new gears. I think if only upgrade gears which may lead to shoot twice under the single shoot mode. So gears will be considered in the end. I am wondering do you have any recommend high speed motor? I hope it can use on M110 spring. And the price may be around ￡40.

I am trying to do researches by my own. Except gears, I could do rest of things by my own. So I don't want to find tech to do this for me. I think it is the best way to upgrade by myself for future consideration.

Cheers!

With HT motors you generally need to "feed" them so a 11.1v battery is often recommended.  However the extra power can cause tooth failures on the gears over time - really depends on what gears are already installed, how well shimmed etc. 

If money is tight then just get the 11.1v battery and have a blast - use it, if it break the stock gears then just get a nice set of £15 replacements.

A High Speed motor together with a decent 7.4v should net some decent results, but you're still putting extra stain on your gears.  Sometimes extra ROF isn't all it's cracked up to be, if I only had the 1 AEG then  I'd rather have a slower firing reliable gun that an unreliable high ROF gun.   That's just me though.

Cheers.  I do agree what you are saying.

However, I feel its accuracy is quite good. I would like pay more attention on ROF,  because I played in the indoor/CQB site mostly which means ROF is quite important to me. I don't need ROF like laser gun. Ideally, I wish it could have faster response when I pull the trigger.

I did more researches today. So I may find a tech to upgrade the HT motor for me. If it need, I will change lower ratio gears too. 

Anyway, it is very helpful. I will take your advice and try  not to focus too much on ROF.
