Yes but he used looted enhancements in the motors (roughly +20).

Highest crafted VK I've ever seen without powerup, slice, or loot parts was 153. Bought it, sliced it, used it for a long time.

Finally had to destroy it tonight, after many, many repairs. Good thing I looted 12 nym damage motors in the last week.

probably used a craft day vibro motor. That day stats were able to be acheived that normally you cannot get.

Sorry, but thats a lie, first of all, get your calculations right before you lie about the VKs, 2nd max dammage slice for weapons is 35% (Speed may be higher, dunno) and if you used the powerup bug (which aint working anymore) its called an exploit...

Anyway, all of you should know that the unarmed dammage skill mod is dammage added to your VK, so normal VKs (50-200dammage) should give you an actual weapon dammage of 300-450 so enchancing motors doesnt make as much difference as it looks...

I looted 4 very good nightsister motors and made VKs out of them, I got 3 dammage slices and got more then 300 max dammage, I didnt think it did a very big differance in PvP anyway, I only use them for PvE now as the difference they did in PvP was like doing 25 dammage instead of 20...

Former Weaponsmith here...with top resources we top out max damage at about 145 and 2.2 speed...yes there can be anomolies with Amazing success and such, but those are about the normal stats since most servers will have "best of" materials floating around now... Adding Nym Motors and Nightsister Motors obviously takes that number way up, as does slicing, but for the normal average joe who just wants some VKs to go beat up rancors (all you folks who think you dont need them really need to check an Armor Piercing guide) getting a 170-180 max damage should not be out of the question...even mid 180s should be attainable from normal weaponsmiths on just about any server.

Most of our damage output comes from out unarmed damage modifier not just the VKs, so killing yourself and your bank account trying to get 200+ max damage VKs is not worth it...its nice to have the best equipment available...but in the end I keep all my nightsister and nym VKs in storage for when needed I can take down rancors just as fast with my 188 max damage VKs and feel just fine in my plain jane 74% kinetic ubese...

It's hard to say since you didn't give minimum damage, but it looks like the DPS is slightly higher for you on the faster VK. When you get to Power Techniques 3 though, most of the special moves will hit the speed cap on that 2.2 weapon so you'll be better off using it at that point.
