Can A Warhead 35k Brushless Motor Pull An M160 Spring on 7.4 volts?

We asked Luke over at Negative Airsoft to test a theory - he grudgingly accepted.
Of course, an 11.1v LiPo would be a better bet for this sort of build but the results are in, yes it can.

Hows that Double Bell gearbox holding up with that 160?

[@keelanstabile6214]

That's what Cassian Andor's blaster from rogue one was made out of

[@raygador8211]

what would bethe expected rps for an m170 spring ssg 18:1 11.1 2200mah 60-120c

[@Apollo_Q]

which geas were those to pull m160?

[@carl_c]

11.1 will crack the gearbox shell in half

[@warheadindustries2656]

That's the piston, head, spring, casing - the motor & battery control it going back, not going forward.

[@undersc0r]

bruh no tf it wont

[@carl_c]

@@undersc0rthe m160 in a stock gearbox with an 11.1 along with a brushless motor will eventually snap the gearbox in half. it happened to my friend and he had to switch to retro arms

No, it won't @@carl_c

Gear ratio?

[@landryshannon6625]

Yes, please warhead

[@landryshannon6625]

Actually that's snappy af I guess it doesn't matter

[@slix_gaming]

​@@landryshannon6625 kinda does as a 32:1 compared to a 13:1 would be a big difference

[@DanielBerthellemy]

160 is nothing, I'd be testing 190 & 200 springs with brushless motors. My chi-hai 26k motor can pull m180 on 13:1 not teeth removed or anything, its no big deal.

[@The_future1991]

100A or more for your Battery maybe killing it after using it for a while... Why not using a 32:1 gear set with that Motor at M160 and more?

[@FrozenByFire3]

Chihai 26k is not pulling an m180 on 13:1 full stroke efficiently at all lol. That motor would last tops 10k rounds before your commutator is turned to dust since you'd need a fucking brick of a battery to ensure your butt stock doesn't catch fire..........

[@seanmccann1691]

So if you are able to pull a m160 with a full stroke gearset and it sounds great and works great why does "everyone" on UA-cam say you need these HUGE fucking batteries to run a dsg m160 that's only pulling the spring back about half way? I swear you can't trust anyone on youtube or reddit when it comes to airsoft they just vomit out whatever they have heard from any kid that makes a video or thread.

[@poison7512]

Because of voltage sag over time and dsg guys are usually shooting full auto. Thats why they get huge high C rating high capacity batteries.
