ZCI High Torque Neodymium Motor for AEGs (Type: Long)

19 Customer Reviews

"Great motor and decently strong magnets. I built a trigger-response focused gun with:

This motor (ZCI 22TPA) (with SHS pinion gear)
SHS 13:1 gears
GATE Titan
Angel Kratos piston
TITAN 11.1 Li-Ion battery (3000Mah, 16c)

...and I got an average trigger response of 54ms (according to the Titan). Pretty good considering it's my first build and I could have done some better shimming.

"Good motor, extremely good price. I had no problems pulling a m125 with 16:1s. The only issue, was that the red plastic piece at the end (I forgot the name for it) is significantly taller than other motors. It would not fit in my grip, and I had to file it down significantly to get it to fit. I'm not taking down a star for that, because otherwise I am very pleased. Just keep in mind it might take some modification to fit inside your gun.

"Updated review

-So I decided to use this motor with 13:1 gears and a 22 TPA motor, most importantly on an 11.1 lipo
-Provides amazing and snappy trigger response and a pretty got rof for a high TPA motor
-Doesn't get hot, nor does the battery at all

-This thing has immense value for the price you pay for it, lol

-Just make sure you're using it in the right build
--(Used with a 7.4 and got unfavorable results)

"amazing motor for the price. magnets are ultra strong, motor is super torque-y. paired them with shs 13:1's and it gives incredible trigger response. if you are using shs gears, do consider switching out this pinion, as it doesn't mesh the greatest with the shs bevel. i've built 3 shs ssg builds with zci high torques, and all three of them had this problem. still a fantastic motor.

PROS
great price
super strong magnets
super torque-y for trigger response builds
armature is nicely shimmed
runs cool (as long as shimming is good and ab is low or off)

CONS
little slow compared to other 22tpa motors
pinion doesn't mesh the greatest with other brands

"I have bought 2 of these and they have been great for the money but I just went to my airsoft store in town the other day and wanted to pick up another one of these but they were out so I looked at what they had ALL lancer tactical motors and I know lancer tactical to be kinda known as beginner ish guns but they had a 35k all metal and cnc so I gave it a shot and omg 😲 they are fast af and trigger responses and $35 online new go to motor.

Sorry for the long review just thought of all the people looking for that cheap op motor

"Works perfectly for my gun, really gave it that extra but of power I needed. Easy to install and everything. Highly recommend.

"My local tech recommended this motor as an upgrade for my krytac 20k. Wow. Cannot believe the trigger response on this thing. Honestly like it better than the krytac 30k in my other gun. Can’t be beat for the price, will be using this in the future for other builds.

"One of the best motors I’ve ever ran. Give my gun an amazing snappy response and you cannot beat it for the price! 100% would recommend

"By far the best motor for the money

"I have probably 6 builds that all use this motor, from 13:1 builds to DSG builds and all have great trigger response and rof. I have the ASG 22000 motor which is 22tpa, and for half the price, I cant see a crazy difference. I would absolutely recommend this motor especially for the price. In my DSG build, this motor with an 8 tooth dsg gear and 16: 1 spur and bevel, and a titan 11.1 3000 mah li-on battery, I'm clocking in at 40 rps on the dot. Shimming and other internal parts play a factor in your rps, but this motor can give you great rps and efficiency without sacrificing rps with the higher tpa it has.

"Is it as good as an asg 22tpa? No, not quite. But the price to performance is pretty ridiculous. I have siegeteks 10.4:1 and this can't cycle it with a 400fps spring, while my asg can, but it handles those same 10.4:1 on a 330 fps spring. Reminder that a regular set of gears is 18:1, so in terms of ratio it's handling almost twice the load and still trucking along. This thing is pretty great. I think asg makes fantastic motors, but this thing is a beast and for half the cost. I seriously doubt you'd even notice a big difference with 18:1 gears. If you haven't changed your gear ratio and want an inexpensive way to up your trigger response this is a no brainier buy

"this is the best motor ever zci is the best company they should rule the world and also zci makes motors for tesla zci is the best i love them so much basically every internal part in my gun is zci oh yeah zci is so amazing jesus christ i wish they would just......

"This is a fine little motor. I used it as a replacement in my Krytac Rec7 after I stripped the original - it is still super snappy and fires at around 19RPS, compared to 21RPS with the original Krytac motor (that costs more than twice as much). Great value for upgrades and replacements!
by Anthony L. on 12/10/2020
"This motor is an absolute beast. I swapped out the god awful motor in my CYMA XM177 for this bad boy and the difference is night and day. Amazing trigger response and ROF on just a 9.6. This is definitely gonna be my go to motor for upgrading in the future.

"using a m140 spring with 18:1 gears and this thing pulls the spring with 0 issues. excellent budget high torque motor. it does include the spring to press down in handgrip
