I'd stick with the stock motor and just use an 11.1 lipo and a MOSFET. That will significantly increase your ROF and trigger response.
Could I pull of these upgrades with my gun?
Hello! I was looking at some upgrades for my gun, but I want to make sure they are safe before I actually buy and install them. I was interested in a high torque motor to increase my ROF, and an 11.1 Lipo to go with it. Please note that I am fairly new to learning and understanding the internals of AEGs, so if any of those upgrades sound stupid, please tell me.
My worries started here: I have a completely stock gun, the KWA KR9. I know KWA guns are Lipo ready (maybe for a 7.4?), but I was unsure about an 11.1 Lipo. I was also a bit concerned about getting a high torque motor with a stock gearbox. The gearbox is a KWA 2GX, which consists of steel gears. I'm assuming it has the normal gear ratio of 18:1.
I would definitely buy a mosfet if I got an 11.0 Lipo, just so you don't freak out about trigger contacts burning out. I tried to put in as much info as possible into this post, so hopefully you can figure out an answer to my question. Thanks for reading, have a wonderful day or night!

Dont forget to shim the gears properly, and correct the AoE. Otherwise that 11.1 will turn it into a very efficient shredder
I don't totally disagree, but don't mess around in the GB unless you know what you are doing. KWA guns are pretty good out of the box. If it was a cheap gun I'd agree more about shimming. As far as the AOE goes, if it looks bad, try to correct it but you most likely only need to do a little filing on a tooth or two.Dont forget to shim the gears properly, and correct the AoE.

Installing an 11.1 will make things wear out faster but it's not going to be destructive (as long as you don't mess with the internals). Depending on how often you play and how aggressive you are with the trigger you could run an 11.1 lipo for a long time with out a MOSFET. I don't specifically suggest it but it's totally possible.
One thing people don't often mention is that you should decompress your spring after using an 11.1. You can do that by either releasing the quick change spring guide if you have one or by firing a few shots (mag out) with a 9.6 or 8.4 volt battery.
That makes zero sense, at all. Sorry for being blunt, not doing it on purpose but that's how I am sometimes.
If you take a stock gun, and you want to run it on an 11.1v LiPo, and make it last at the same time. You're gonna have to mess around in the GB. No exceptions.
Filing a tooth or two off a piston does not sum up correcting the AoE. It's what you do after correcting it..
The decompressing thing you're talking about is called overspin, which can be easily fixed with a decent motor (Neo magnets stop a lot quicker than ferrite ones when the power gets cut) and/or an active braking mosfet, varies per setup.
And running 11.1's without a mosfet, that's just asking for burnt contacts man. Hell, you can burn contacts running a 9.6 if you spam semi auto enough.
Again, I don't mean to be blunt but I have no other way of saying this stuff. (Also, English isn't my native tongue if that explains it better
)
