I like building the fastest thing possible. This one time i was playing with gear ratios, and it the gear ratio was so damn low that it took a whole 12 minutes of acceleration and like 12 oz of wd-40. It got fast enough to where i felt genuinely unsafe. It was worth it tho when the gear at the end shattered and sent its teeth in every direction imaginable

12 Minutes? Have ya ever played with a Siegetek 10:1 DSG? XD That thing rips in speed.

[@tryhardairsoft416]

I prefer 32:1, less stress on the system. My only concern is more wear on the carbon brushes: because the motor needs to spin more times per cycle. It's well worth it for me tho.

Gonna try P90 with 35000 rpm motor and 31:1 gears

[@Invader6ix]

13:1 on a 25k motor and 14 tooth piston?

Wait. While high speed BRUSHLESS motors will usually have better cycle times than low speed BRUSHLESS motors. The opposite is the case for brushed motors.

Here at umbrella we only believe in one motor type: brushless xD

@@UmbrellaArmory fair enough. Same XD
