- description
A high speed motor trades pulling power for revolutions. It spins the gear train faster, which lifts the rate of fire on a build that is not asking too much of it.
That last part matters. Speed motors do their best work behind moderate springs and high-ratio gears. Put one behind a heavy spring and it will run hot, drain the battery and struggle to bring the piston back.
Axle length is a fitment question rather than a performance one. Version 2 builds commonly take the long axle and Version 3 the short, but grips and motor cages vary, so measure rather than assume.

Good to know before you buy
Axle length is the fitment decision here. Check it against the motor you are removing, because a long-axis motor will not mesh in a gearbox cut for a short axis, and no amount of shimming fixes that.
Frequently asked questions
Long or short axle?
It follows the gearbox and the grip rather than the gun. Version 2 builds commonly take the long axle and Version 3 the short, but check against the motor you are removing.
Will this raise my rate of fire on its own?
Only as far as the rest of the build allows. Spring rate, gear ratio, battery and wiring all cap it, and a speed motor behind a heavy spring will disappoint.
Does it come with a pinion?
Our supplier does not state whether one is fitted. Hang on to your existing pinion until the motor is in front of you.
