The whole reason the magnum sucks up so much juice is because it ARCS between it's posts. Whoever decided to put a metal end bell between a positive and negative pole is a freaking retard.

I stay away from any garbage motors that systema makes, as far as I'm concerned they're all crap. Without insulating the poles you can't even use it with an SW-comp, and it generally cuts your power efficiency by more than half. Even the PTW motors they put in $2400 guns were screwy.

If your using the motor to pull a 450fps spring, your better off buying a G&P M140, it's cheaper, and consumes far less amperage.
+1, or even an element High Torque motor, its a very reasonable motor for 25 bucks, i Run one in a m140 on a 11.1v 2300 mah 20c lipo with stock m14 ratio gears (21. something) and im getting about 24 bps.
