Description
SHS 058 High Torque AEG Motor (Long Type)
This is an SHS high torque AEG motor in the long type, model 058. A high torque motor is built to turn the gears with more force, which helps an AEG pull a stronger spring, keep its trigger response sharp and cope with higher-ratio gear sets.
SHS is a Chinese maker best known for its wide range of affordable AEG internals: motors, gears, pistons, cylinders and bushings. Its motors are a popular choice when replacing a tired stock motor or building up an upgraded gearbox on a budget.
Long type motors
AEG motors come in short, medium and long types, depending on the gearbox and where the motor sits. Long type motors are used in replicas where the motor sits in the pistol grip, including many M4, MP5 and AK-pattern AEGs with Version 2 or Version 3 gearboxes. Make sure your replica takes a long type motor before ordering.
Why choose a high torque motor
Torque is what pulls the piston back against the spring. A motor with good torque will handle a stronger spring more comfortably and give a crisper semi-auto response, while a high-speed motor focuses on rate of fire. If you have upgraded the spring or fitted high-torque gears, a high torque motor is usually the better partner.
Fitting means removing the grip’s motor plate, unplugging the old motor and fitting the new one, then setting the motor height so the pinion meshes cleanly with the bevel gear. Too high or too low and the gearbox will whine and wear quickly. If you are not confident working inside a gearbox, have the part fitted by an experienced airsoft technician. Always remove the battery and magazine before any work, keep small screws and springs in a tray, and test the replica carefully before taking it to a game.

Compatibility
For AEGs that take a long type motor. Check the pinion gear and the shaft type your gearbox needs, and confirm the motor suits your battery and wiring. If in doubt, contact us with your replica’s make and model.
Care and maintenance
Set motor height carefully and recheck it after the first game. Avoid long continuous bursts that heat the motor, use a battery suited to your set-up, and consider a MOSFET if you run a LiPo battery. Keep the motor plate and grip free of dirt, and disconnect the battery when the replica is not in use.
Who is it for?
For AEG owners replacing a tired motor, and for players upgrading to a stronger spring who want more pulling power.
