PopRocket123 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Hi guys, I'm building a new AEG but it's been like 10 years since I've done anything with one. It's going to be a 1.1J build and with up to a 16" barrel. Brushless motors seem to be the hot new thing. Are they worth the jump in price over a regular motor? I saw someone (I think it was Neg) mention that you don't really need one of you're also getting a perun. Also helical gears, how much of a difference do they actually make?

Mtemprell Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Not sure their advantages in Airsoft as like you I've been out of it 10 years so catching up my self. But I can say brushless motors will definitely run a bit better with more torque and in a slightly lighter package, it's like the move in power tools from brushed to brushless, 20 years ago brushless drills where a niche on the market but their potential was soon realised and within 10 years they took over. I imagine in Airsoft they'll offer fewer advantages as end of the day lower torque motors aren't the end of the day. PopRocket123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back nearly 20 years ago now my dad making a big deal about the new brushless motors for his RC planes. Obviously for that having a lighter motor is a huge improvement Mtemprell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
