Echo 1 Stag-15 Upgrades?

So i decided to upgrade my m4 with groups of parts at a time.
Meaning New motor + new grip.

I decided to add a new better motor. What kind of motor would be an upgrade from an Echo 1 Motor?
My m4 is Completely stock, meaning I've never changed the internals...
Would adding another motor even be helpful?
What would it do?


Edit: Sorry if I've been asking a HANDFUL of questions recently, I'm going to upgrade my gun, and I have two months worths of ops comming up, so If i screw up, I'm doomed!

While were on the subject.
How does one put the Anti Reversal latch in? What does it really do?

For a motor. It depends on what your looking for. But I usually have good luck going with a TM EG1000 for a torque motor or a hi speed. I wouldn't add one if you didn't change the internals. Unless you added a LiPo or tighter spring.

The one advantage about THIS gun in particular is the bushings are metal and it is factory shimmed meaning that tedious work is all ready done for you

But I wouldn't add a LiPo unless I had a piston with full metal teeth, a AoE, and the motor.

Ah, the anti reversal latch. You really do need this. It prevents your piston teeth from stripping and expands the life of your gun. I reinstall it by putting it in before the bevel gear, then when I put the bevel gear in, I push it to the left horizontally (not pulling it out) then slowly release it. A lot like setting a mousetrap. It will easily screw up when putting the shell on so just have patience and don't freak out. (It sticks better if you put some white lithium grease in the hole on the shell that holds the latch) mechbox.com if you need any video.

What if I want to put a 9.6
Would a new motor be benificial?

And what if The spring comes off the anti-reversal latch? How do I plug it in?

And just OUT of curiousity, how do you know the bushings are metal?

A new 9.6v w/ a new motor would work well, but you don't absolutely NEED the motor, but it would work.

I don't really feel like explaining in words how to put the spring on the anti-reversal latch. Its really simple though.
Here is a properly assembled V2 Anti-Reversal latch


I know what this gun has, and doesn't have because I own one, and have done work to a couple of other Echo 1 stag and barret makes.

Some airsoft GI tech confirmed it does have metal bushings.
Thanks
