I havent seen lots of stats on NS vibros, but it looksto me, my best vibros with a nym motor would be sligtly better in most cases.
Save the NS motors for the Razor Knuckler (coming soon) and use nym motors for VKs.

The Jabba motors aren't that great. They can easily be beaten in terms of damage by a player crafted advanced vibro unit. The only real choices would be:
- High Powered Vibro Motor (drop from Nyms on Lok)
- Nightsister Vibro motors (these are usually better, but good luck finding them)

Random rant on my part. Just to let you know, you don't have to read this. This is just something I found to be true in my time as a Master WS (before I surrendered).
Ok, so back when I was an MWS, my specialty was Krayt pistols...more specifically Krayt FWG5 pistols. I would get a tissue (or a few), make a gun and it would sell almost before it would come out of the output hopper of my crafting tool. My Krayt FWG5's ranged in power from 62/209/1.5 to 64/269/1.2. I made a lot of them back in my day. And, everyone loved 'em. So, when I decided to master Creature Handler with one of my alts, I figured...What better way to start him out than with a Krayt FWG5. I already had the materials, so I made one. Ended up being a pretty good weapon. I can't remember the stats, but post slice, I could almost solo a Deranged Squall lair w/out a pet at just novice Pistoleer. Body Shot 1 was my shot of choice.
Well, within a week...maybe two of making this gun, it was almost dead. So, I tried repairing it, and it crumbled on me. See, thing is..Krayt tissues aren't easy to come by. They aren't hard to come by either, but you can't just simply walk up the the bazaar and buy 20 tissues. It's just not that easy. It takes either being able to track down a dragon spawn or possibly even spending hours in Anchorhead (or some other close city) sending up yells about buying tissues. All this for what? So, you can get a gun that lasts a week under heavy use...maybe two weeks at very max? And even if u get it to last that long, you are never guaranteed that you'll be able to repair it at all. To me, it just seems like far too much work. And, to be honest, at that very moment when that pistol fell apart in my hands, I swore to myself that I'd never use another Krayt gun. And to this day I haven't even laid hands on one.
Well that's my rant. IMO, going after the TOUGH loot just to power up a weapon isn't worth it...esp with how INCREDIBLY quickly they wear down. Add to that the HUGE possibility that they will crumble on repair, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

That is why myself and possibly millions of people still plays the game today is to keep getting loots. If my weapon decay and failed on repair then I will just go and loot another, yes yes i know what your about to say good luck right? Well things doesn't just appear in front of you without any work being done! And thats the beauty of it!
I have tons of guns made by 100+ tissues most of them are gone but most still there and left unused because they are part of this game's history. Who knows whats going to happen after 10 years...these guns will be a piece of history! (I m not so sure if I can play this game for another 10 years but who knows)
