You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're doing, it doesn't matter how good your parts are or how good my instructions are, you're going to destroy your internals as well as waste your own time and money. Do you really want to waste 150 USD on a gear set alone? Siegeteks are indestructible if installed correctly. If you install them incorrectly, they will strip eventually, and quite quickly if you attempt to do a 60 RPS build and you don't know what you're doing.

Anything above 35 RPS is prone to failure if not assembled and tuned properly. Under that, don't be an idiot and it will probably still work, although very poorly.

I've done a 60 RPS 380 FPS build. It caused severe motor heat, and drew 35A constant. It also did its toll on the motor's commutator and brushes, I had to replace the brushes and turn the commutator on a lathe. I also had to modify the tappet plate, short stroke, modify the tappet plate spring... In order for it to feed, I had to make my own magazine followers, and even then I had to use 0.2g BBs. Anything heavier and the magazine could not load them in time.

If you are simply looking to get a wow factor from people at the field, 30-40 RPS is sufficient, and can be done with much cheaper parts. I build these things all the time, but when I see people trying to copy my builds at local fields, they often sound like shit, strip pinions, strip pistons, don't feed properly etc.

TLDR: Don't try this yourself, you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.
Yeah. 60 rps is insane now that I think about it. 30-40 will do for me. I wouldn't do this myself. My local field techs are willing to help me install and what not. I just need to buy the peices for them to put together. I do know what I'm doing, just not as much as pro. I have done hours upon hours of research and think that it would be easier for someone to "spoon feed" me.
