Not really. Just make sure you match torque levels with your required spring. ie, if you're trying to pull an M170 spring, a double torque, triple torque, or even Super torque gear set wouldn't be enough. You would need to go up to Max Torque, Infinity Torque, or other equivalent "highest torque" gearsets to match a spring that heavy. But in your situation, a Prometheus Double Torque, Modify 21.6 Torque, or Systema Torque Up would be sufficient.

Going higher torque than your spring needs does not do anything except for put a bigger dent in your wallet. Your battery will last a bit longer as well.

Everything else behind the drivetrain (motor, battery, etc) comes AFTER you upgrade the gear set to match. Otherwise, doing it the other way will still present problems over time.

Yes, I'm referring to the contacts on the trigger assembly, and you are correct, installing a mosfet eliminates the arcing issue. However, installing a mosfet does not correct any of the other issues. It can actually exacerbate the issue if it's one of the computerized trigger control mosfets when you fire in full auto.
