p1878 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Just got my first rif needs a battery so thinking of 11.1 lipo . Any ideas fellas .
Supporters Lozart Posted January 28, 2015 Supporters Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah - don't get an 11.1v Lipo. Or at least not without fitting a mosfet first.
TacMaster Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 A 7.4V LiPo is definitely your best bet. You don't want to fry your first gun's trigger contacts with an 11.1. This should fit.
p1878 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Ta APS SAY IT IS SAFE BUT EASY DOES IT I THINK . Get payed friday so off to the local rc shop.
Guest PT247 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 modern APS guns are fitted with a mosfet, but they have very loose tolerances to their gearboxes, if you shim it don't shim it tight!
p1878 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks that saves me striping it down . It is the new gearbox . Its a APS UAR AU.
Adam3088 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Chap who went to my local site stripped his piston in less then two days of use running an 11.1v in a UAR, might have been other damage as well. You need more then a mosfet to make an AEG long term reliable running a higher voltage lipo. Always thought 11.1v is a bit excessive anyway, 7.4v is perfectly fine. Check out componentshop for a good selection of batteries.
p1878 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Went to widnes model shop friday . Andy made me a patch lead price was a tenner but had to buy a box of female tamyia small . A 7.4 lipo. The lot for £25:48. Charged it up put it in & it is a beast. So just going to get two more lipos next payday . Going to swat sunday check fps make sure its got the right spring.
