scranage Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Hello, New airsoft player who recently bought a g-and-g-armament-arp9-2-0-enhanced-combat-machine, I went to an event last weekend and was having motor overheating issues, what motor would you guys recommend for me to use on this gun to try and stop this from happening at next months event? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Allen Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 If you purchased it new from a retailer, you might be best advised to send it back; there may be a fault causing the motor to overheat. However, it is worth asking what you mean by "overheating issues"; what are the symptoms? ak2m4 and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherBill Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It's possibly the battery is too much for your motor or/and you're spamming the trigger. The motor will naturally heat up (to a degree) as it's used, some are better than others at dealing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns will run hotter on 11.1V lipo than on 7.4V lipo or 9.6V life. However, when it comes to battery C ratings, higher is always better - the battery won't supply more current than the motor wants to draw. And the ARP 9 2.0 recommends 11.1V, so it shouldn't be an issue. We'll need to know more about what "motor overheating issues" actually means, and the use being made of it. Running it like a support gun, or constant semi-auto trigger spamming will put heat in the motor. What are the symptoms we're talking about here?

Pseudotectonic Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Motor heats up because of high current High current because of high load High load because of difficulty to spin Difficulty to spin could be because motor is too low torque and/or too high mechanical resistance Too high mechanical resistance could be anything in the gearbox If it is new, I would try adjusting the motor height and see if it spins easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
