Upgrading my Cyma Thompson

[Alex0405]

Hey guys just looking for some advice 

 

I got a Thompson off a mate of mine and upon firing it I find it abit... sluggish 

 

I'm a sucker for the Thompson and want to use it as my CQB weapon, so wanting it abit more snappy on the trigger so was thinking a high torque or high speed motor, obviously a new barrel and hop rubber. 

 

Just wanting the advice, I know my way around a gearbox after upgrading and fixing before

Sounds like a job for a decent mosfet to me.

indeed.

 

there are lots of other factors (eg battery choice and state of the box as it presently sits) that could factor in, eg switching to lipo from nimh.

 

however assuming the box is in good running order and being fed by a decent battery then the first port of call i'd be looking at would be to look at a mosfet with precocking.

 

after that you can look at changing motor/gears depending on where your personal cutoff for "good enough" response is.

If you want the absolute best trigger response then a MOSFET with pre-cocking is the best option overall.

If you want something better than it is now without the cost/hassle of fitting then I would suggest a high torque Neodymium motor as a much easier upgrade and something you'll benefit from even with a MOSFET.

Hi Alex, as you're mostly playing CQB then perhaps 22TPA motor is the easiest upgrade, good on battery efficiency and low on heat for the semi-shots , for extra snappy'ness you could run a 11.1v but you might then need to upgrade the gears and piston.  Can add a Mosfet if you wish but it's not 100% necessary.

I already try to run an 11.1 but it's just not as snappy as my m4 

 

Yeah I think a decent mosfet and new motor would be a good idea then
