LiPo Batteries in a CM16 Carbine

You can get plug'n'play MOSFETS wich dont require any gun disassembly. Although they aren't quite as good at the trigger contact saving role as a hardwired one. They're not useless though. There's a bloke selling a really good one in the classifieds on here but, for your edification, you can get the same type from Airsoft World brand new with a warranty for £30+P&P so haggle him...

Might consider that then! I'm on a tight budget though :/ I was looking to spend £30ish pounds on batteries and cahrgers (1Batt, 1 Charge) :/ I'll definately have a look though Mate! Thanks a ton for the help!

 
Here's what I think i've come to (This is all presuming I can spend this amount and can wire the MOSFET easily) . I will purchase 1-2 LiPo Batteries (7.4v 20c). Then I will get a balancer/charger and a power source (All from HobbyKingz) Then, I will get a Gate PicoSSR MOSFET (£15!?) Sound good?

 
The MOSFET does sound good, yeah. Waterproof has got to be a good thing and the smaller it is, the easier it is to find somewhere in your gun to put it. That MOSFET is a hardwired type though - so you will have to take your gun apart to solder it in place and swap the existing wires about a little (although it is really easy to do and the instructions will make it clear what has to go where).

 
Ian, sorry to take you off topic here but it may help others wondering.

I just got one of those Plug 'n' play mosfets for my m16. Problem is the mosfet is small taimya, the gun is the large type. Do you reckon I could remove the heads, strip the wire a bit, solder them together and then wrap it in eletrical tape. I'd then be able to use the spare large female taimya on the other end of the mosfet. In theory, eletronically wise it should function, but would it still work as a mosfet?

 
I got that Ian. If I can find a tutorial, ill definately consider it :D And Theddy, ill leave it to the others as im no pro, but I believe its very much possible to swith out the connector heads ;D

 
S If you Decide to go NimH I have 3 8.4V's I'll do for £15 converted to Dean's

 
It should Ted, yeah. TBH though you're probably best deciding on 1 type of connector inside your gun and sticking to it. The reason I say this is because, if/when you get another gun, it'll be a good idea to use the same connectors in both, so that you can swap batteries, fuse carriers & MOSFETs between them and not have to keep track of different leads for your charger.

Personally I'm in the process of swapping all my stuff to Deans, but before that I went with Small Tamiya because they seem more common than Large... If you look on fleabay you can find connectors really cheap from HK and they don't take long to arrive.

 
Yea £15 for all (is it too cheap? I can charge more if you like? :D )

2 8.4v at 1500

1 8.4v is 1100

Also they are of the brick type variety

Yeah, I wasn't aware the large type existed until I bought this M16 Ian. May go down the route of changing the connectors so that I can use the mosfet in other guns.

Cheers for the help!

Ok, so they'll definately fit my M4 handguard? And if I can ge them, it'll be August. Is that alright? (I'll check I can get them!)
