A benchmark high-torque upgrade

The Tornado F1 High Torque Gen 2 (Long) is a premium motor for players who want maximum power, durability and efficiency from their AEG. This second-generation design improves on the original with stronger torque and cleaner rotation, making it a genuine workhorse for serious power tuning and heavy-spring builds.

Neodymium magnets for heavy springs

At its core sit high-strength neodymium magnets, giving the motor the pulling power to drive M150 to M170 main springs without bogging down. That headroom is exactly what upgraded snipers, DMRs and high-rate builds need to cycle reliably shot after shot.

Built to last under stress

Ball bearings on both ends of the motor axis cut friction and keep the armature spinning smoothly, even under the load of a stiff spring. The result is less wear, less heat and a motor engineered to endure intense tuning and long-term use.

Efficient power delivery

Compared with earlier generations, the Gen 2 is more energy efficient, drawing less current while delivering greater output. Paired with a high-performance LiPo, that means better trigger response and more shots from every charge.

Long-type fitment

This long variant fits M16/M4 series, MP5 (except the MP5K and MP5PDW), G3 series and P90 replicas. If you are planning an upgrade, our airsoft accessories range covers springs, bearings and wiring, and our in-house repair and servicing team can fit and tune it for you.

Frequently asked questions

Which replicas does the long-type motor fit?

The long-type version is designed for M16/M4 series, MP5 series (except the MP5K and MP5PDW), G3 series and P90 gearboxes. If your grip or stock takes a long motor, this is the one you need.

What spring strength can this motor handle?

The Gen 2 uses high-strength neodymium magnets rated to drive M150 to M170 main springs, so it is well suited to upgraded, high-power tuning builds rather than stock setups alone.

Do I need a LiPo battery to run it?

For best results yes. Tornado recommend a high-performance LiPo to get the full torque and efficiency benefit. A LiPo delivers the current a high-torque motor demands and improves trigger response.

What is the difference between the long and short motor?

It is purely the motor length and which gearbox it drops into. Long-type suits M4, MP5, G3 and P90; short-type suits AK, G36 and similar Version 3 gearboxes. Everything else is the same.

Does the motor have ball bearings?

Yes. Both ends of the motor axis run on ball bearings rather than plain bushings, which reduces friction, keeps the spin smooth under load and extends service life during hard use.
