XT Airsoft explores a new budget-friendly brushless motor for airsoft guns, the Lei Ying, which is making its way into the market at a lower price point than many established competitors. He notes that this motor performs similarly to more expensive models, likely sharing internal components with other brands while skipping features like an external speed selector to keep costs down. It’s essentially the "no-frills" airline version of airsoft motors—it gets you where you’re going without the complimentary peanuts.

During the hands-on testing, the Lei Ying is compared against several other motors, including the Solink Light Plus and the T238. Each motor is run "raw" with a battery to listen to the cycle speed and then installed into a test gearbox to see how it handles actual firing. The presenter points out physical details like the thickness of the connector tabs, which might seem trivial until you're fumbling with tiny wires and realize that "sturdier" is usually a synonym for "less likely to make me cry during assembly."

The final verdict suggests that for a relatively low price, the Lei Ying offers a performance level that matches its pricier siblings. While the test build itself is described as "way too fast" and something viewers shouldn't necessarily recreate at home, the motor proves it can keep up with the pack. It’s a solid choice for those who want the efficiency of brushless technology without having to sell a kidney to afford the upgrade.
