Nice job dude, looks fricken cool.

Don't know what the Slovenia dude is on about...

I'm thinking of upgrading mine to a 30V system so it runs off my drill battery, rather than the 3V standard. Why would anyone downgrade the motor, though?

i thought weeker motor-less voltage...
put a reducer in between
eh do whatever you want...
ill modify my beast in the while and ill let u know the results... the plan is allsoo reducing frequency of strokes and increase power of eash stroke...
well im going to eat my polenta now:)

Since the pickgun works due to the speed of the stroke, not the power, you want a light but fast motor. The best way to do this is surely to use a good but lower voltage motor, and overdrive it with a higher voltage, which it will withstand for a short time. A 12V motor will take up to 36 volts for a short time, if then allowed to cool off. This is better than using a huge 36 volt motor which would probably damage the lock, and not run as fast as the overdriven 12V motor.

I've got a 7.2V hi-spec Tamiya racing motor upstairs, which will do well, since it's a 20,000 RPM jobbie. Should knock 7 shades a second out of anything!

A 380 would be better than a 540 though but your 540 would have some torque lol youve got to show me that one
