CM16 RAIDER BATTERY

[benn]

hi, i was wondering if the http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/lipo-and-life-airsoft-batteries/vp-craing-7-4v-2600mah-25c-lipo-crane-stock-battery-deans.htm#.WQ95yVKZMU0 vp racing 7.4 2600mah lipo battery will work and fit into the stock of the cm16 raider

The identical nuprol/WE one fits the CM18 stock - is that the same? G&G guns are usually mini tamiya though.

Ring them and ask them to check is the answer....

 

Some crane stocks are tighter than others & G&G ones can be a bit of a pinch

The crane tubes are not much over 18mm - maybe 19mm at a push

 

ye olde nimah's are about 17mm diameter with a wire running down the side

20mm imho is going to be pushing it in a G&G crane stock

even if it fits now and it will be a bloody squeeze, there is the issue of removal

and if like most lipo's they can puff even just slightly over time - then it will get bloody tricky

 

Now there might be ever so slight revisions over the last few years

but from my recollection the std G&G crane stocks were not renown for very generous battery space

(I don't use them myself on most G&G's)

pretty sure the length is about 114 to 127 (5 inch max) & ABOUT 18mm or just over (19mm)

 

battery dimensions on your list flags up 2cm/20mm so to me caution is starting rise in my mind !!!!

 

I could be wrong, but think it is going to be tight or too tight that it won't fit

Anybody with a mp5k will know how damn tight sometimes these batteries just won't fit unless you hammer them

(not wise btw - bloody cheapo Galaxy MP5K is a bitch even with nimah battery supplied with gun)

 

I'd ring them and ask for confirmation if it fits the Raider's they sell if I was you
