dazzer306 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi all Could some one tell the difference between high speed gears and high torque gears as I want to upgrade my gearbox to make it lipo ready and I'm a little confused as what to get.. Also what else would I need ie gears, piston head etc thanks Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what else would I need ie gears, piston head etc thanks Darren High speed is for fast rounds per second, but needs a lower fps spring (e.g. M90). High torque is for pulling a heavier spring (e.g. M130), but at the expense of rounds per second. However, there is no such thing as making a gearbox Lipo ready if you use a 7.4V Lipo, as that is equivalent to a 9.6V NihM. It's only if you want to use an 11.1V Lipo that you'll need to upgrade the gearbox, as the speed that it will turn the motor is probably too much for a standard gearbox on full auto, unless you use it on semi only. I run three guns on 7.4V Lipos and none of them have been upgraded and all woirk fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that clears that up for me I thought gearbox had to be upgraded for lipo, thanks for that no need to go out and buy parts now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
