I thought I would start documenting a complete build-up of a brand-new VFC M4A1 RIS II FDE (aka M4A1 block2)

Follow along on this build!

I'm really liking the blog format of the new site, and that rifle is definitely a piece of work ... thanks for the new bookmark and I can't wait to see what comes down the pipe next.

EOD Steve · May 30th, 2016, 19:43

It is done. Paint + final chrono numbers.

I'd love a 'Like Button' on here. Excellent amalgamation of info, and an excellent looking build

EOD Steve · June 1st, 2016, 22:19

Another build starting up, but first an in-depth review of the HAO Geissele HK416 SMR rail compared to the real deal.

A comparison between the ASG Ultimate U-18000 motor and the SHS High-torque.

I like this thread too. How's the asg 18k motor compare build wise to the jg blue ones? Tpa same I think. Is the arm skewed in the asg motor?

EOD Steve · June 2nd, 2016, 17:27

Isn't JG Blue 22 TPA? ASG is 28TPA.
Haven't torn the motor apart to be honest so I couldn't tell you if it's skewed, that's another post for another day when I'm less flooded.

Magnets on the ASG are quite good, on par with Tienly and SHS HT.

cetane · June 2nd, 2016, 19:25

Hmm..? Maybe it is a 22tpa? Don't remember which arm I pulled from mine..?

chaz · June 3rd, 2016, 13:15

Reading about the motors in this comparison, what would be a HT motor that has good meshing with Siegetek gears (or just use a Siegetek pinion) that is low power consumption?
Price not an option.
