    rewire for crane stock battery on a M4

    the battery fitting in the front end can be eased by moving all of the wiring and fuse box to above the barrel, cable tie in place and a mini size battery fits in the front hand guard ok.

    Struggling to fit battery

    So glad it's not just me, found the same on the top full ris rail, hinged at the front with a friction pin, it's fine while the top screws are in, but as you remove them it falls away like a clowns car doors!

    Struggling to fit battery

    Sorted, re-fitted fuse box etc on top of barrel. Replaced cable clips, beefed up motor connectors too. Battery goes in in seconds now. Happy days. Why do they make the fuse cover box so big?? Bizzare. Thanks for all the tips and feedback. Appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies, it seemed odd that the battery supplied did not easily fit the gun. Will a 7.4 lipo run the gun as well as the 8.4 niam?

    Struggling to fit battery

    Hi, I have a CYMA all metal M4 CQB SIR. The gun came with an 8.4v nunchuck style battery, non branded and it took me about 45 mins of fumbling around to get the battery into the hand guard. I have just picked up a spare battery, and went for the mini type, which I thought would be a better and...

    Hello from Northfleet

    Thanks Ian, yes I spotted the noob guide all too late unfortunately. The gun is working fine now, and I have a better battery on the way and a few little additions to the gun too. It's a full metal M4 so on the whole it's ok, I reackon most of the paint will wear off too after a couple of games...

    Hello from Northfleet

    Hello from Northfleet

    HI Baz, yes hindsight is a wonderful thing. but lesson now learnt. not sure i will get as far as AWA or RIFT just yet, Billericay is a 40 min drive as it is, but i am sure i will get around as the bug gets a true grip of me.
