product details

Manufacturer notes: The Warhead BASE motor is designed to be a cheaper alternative to its older brother, the CNC black version. It is available in FOUR different speeds in both long and short shaft variants.

The motor is fully compatible with a host of ETU's and MOSFETs including brands such as Jeftron, Gate and Perun.

Brushless DC motors have no brushes to get worn out -- they represent a huge leap forward in technology. Brushless output gives significantly higher efficiency and performance, and have a lower susceptibility to mechanical wear than their brushed counterparts.

Brushless motors offer several other advantages, including;

- Higher torque to weight ratio
- Increased torque per watt of power input (increased efficiency)
- Increased reliability and lower maintenance requirements - Reduced operational and mechanical noise
- Longer lifespan (no brush and commutator erosion)
- Elimination of ionizing sparks from the commutator (ESD)
- Near-elimination of electromagnetic interference (EMI)

This advanced brushless motor boasts some impressive features:

- High-quality magnets - CNC shaft cover with EZO bearing
- High-quality speed controller
- Replaceable speed controller
- High-quality D-type pinion gear
- Replaceable parts
- 20K RPM at 11.1v

This motor has a cast aluminum base and machine-wound rotor.

Important installation notes Professional installation required. A 1.27mm hex key driver is required for installing the pinion gear. A small amount of slip-fit (green 638 recommended) threadlocker should be used to prevent pinion slippage. Threadlocker should not enter the bearing area and should have time to cure before using the motor.

Do NOT use a pinion pull/press tool for installing the pinion gear. This will destroy the electronics inside, unless the motor is properly disassembled and desoldered. Proper fitting of the AEG pistol grip plate is required.

Please take care when fitting your AEG's motor connectors to the tabs on the motor. These are soldered directly to the PCB inside the motor and they are more fragile than those on a standard brushed motor. Care should be taken not to bend them outwards or hyper extend them as this may result in them breaking.

Important MOSFET settings

We have spent a significant amount of time designing our motor to be compatible with as many third-party MOSFETs and electronic trigger units as possible.

For optimal performance with our motor, we recommend using the following settings across all brands of ETU and mosfets alike.

Please refer to each section below when setting up your AEG with our motor. For more information or to check compatibility please send us an email on info@warheadindustries.com or direct message us on Facebook.com/warheadindustries.

Good motor? Yes. BUT DONT BUY IT! BUY THE 36K ONE INSTEAD

Spend the extra $20 Buy the black series instead.

In testing the Warhead Base 20k RPM motor within a 14.09:1 DSG setup on an SP150 spring, I observed performance metrics that were somewhat below expectations for such a specialized application. I'm obviously running fast gears, so I thought the 20k brushless would have been better than the black series for torque.

I was wrong.

The motor exhibited a 19A draw on semi-auto, yielding a 36ms trigger response and 35 RPS— which is... Okay. Far below expectations however.

Contrastingly, the Warhead Black Series CNC 36k RPM motor presented a significant leap in efficiency and performance, reducing amp draw to 14A, despite its higher operational speed. This led to a dramatic increase in RPS to 60, with a semi-auto cycle time improvement to 24ms and an ultra-responsive 8ms trigger response with precocking enabled. Moreover, the efficiency gains were ridiculous, with the 36k motor consuming approximately 0.093mAh per shot, a notable improvement over the 0.19mAh of the 20k motor. This translates to an almost comical improvement of 49% decreased energy consumption per shot over the 20k motor. underscoring the superior efficiency, and SOMEHOW SPEED? of the 36k option.

I was able to verify that this was indeed not a fluke in the design of this motor, but in fact a structual one. The cogging torque is SIGNIFICANTLY lower on the 20k brushless for some reason, which suggests a lower magnetic interaction between the rotor and stator. (WHICH WOULD MAKE NO SENSE)

My theory is the 20k brushless is actually a high speed (60k?) with a pentitometer installed to limit the RPM to a maximum of 20k. No idea why they would do this, but its the only thing that makes any sense.

Given these findings, I recommend enthusiasts and competitive players consider the Black CNC 36k RPM brushless motor as a superior alternative to the Warhead Base 20k RPM model. The 36k motor not only enhances performance dramatically but does so with greater efficiency, making it a prudent choice for those seeking to maximize their airsoft gun's potential.

Just get the warhead black series. It's better in every way.

The warhead motor you've heard of, and it's not utterly perfect like they'd like you to believe. With instant response to maximum speed this motor does deliver quick response, however pay heed to the RPM rating of the motor. If you want *trigger response* you also need RPM. Brushless motors provide torque regardless of speed, and this motor is good, but earlier in my teching career I bought this particular motor thinking torque was all you needed. Now I can say that is not the case and required paring with a 13:1 gearset, the ezo J-caged bearings sold here on Brill Armory, and high precocking to the point of nearly double firing on semi to get instant trigger response. If you're looking for super snappy trigger response with little effort, this isn't the motor without some knowhow but it can be done. It is a good motor. It does exactly what it says, however, it has some compatibility issues: -It doesn't work with some FCUs and inline mosfets -It is not fully compatible with ROF controls; you will get a reduced effect instead of what you are looking for. -Your pinion to bevel shimming must be near perfect or you will destroy the pinion and/or bevel gear teeth due to the motor's very high torque output. I had to learn how to get mine better after I shredded the pinion that came with the motor. If you're looking for a simple motor replacement that will save you battery and work mechanically with any setup you can throw at it, this motor will work. The gearbox shell or gears will likely break before this thing stops turning.
