M4 batterys

[n1ckh]

Before I go ahead and get the 2 tone cm16 m4 AEG I have a battery question ??

 

it says in the write up that it uses a crane battery (or split battery as I know it) I have a 7.2v NiMH crane battery already and its 3600mah, it also says to use 7.4v lipo to which I have 4 of them for my rc cars rated at 5000mah

 

Could I use my lipos (I'll remove the crane battery holder) ??

An FYI for you, me and my boys aren't UKARA members yet hence the 2 tone

had some experience with RC cars myself, what cars do you own? anyway, on topic, are you talking about the raider? If you are you need a nunchuck, I have the carbine and you need a nunchuck for that as well. this is mine http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-2600mah-cranestock-battery.html

very good battery lasts ages in my gun, however it is out of stock but you can probably find one on ebay (new)

I run both fast and slow cars, I have my son has hpi blitz and I have acme raptor (brushless and lipo upgrade) my other son likes my scale and rock crawler cars

 

Never seen a split pack 2s lipo but I have now and yes I am on about the raider, I'm going with carbine cause of the short barrel and RIS rail, I'll be getting my boys the JG g36c each and protective gear

you can get a short raider as well letting you know. The raider has the rail, the carbine doesn't...

 

I had an thunder tiger st1 for a while, used to rip dirt.

 

G&G carbine

 

 

G&G raider:

 

 

as soon here both can be in long guise or short.

Raider has RIS and comes in short or long version and crane stock - bat at rear

(don't worry about blow back option if ya wanna keep it simple)

Carbine has front handguard - bat at front inside 2 piece handguard

if you want to use other bigger size batteries then you could fit a fixed stock on the Raider and chuck in

almost any size battery from ya cars....

I'm not sure if really big batteries would fit in a smaller "stubby" fixed stock but a full sized fixed stock should

fit in almost any size battery you may have and still room for mars bar or two

Cheers fellas, I prefer the RIS setup because of CQB so a shorter barrel would be better and for outdoors I can attach a short silencer (maybe even tracer) but for now I have my pistol for room clearence

 

My lipos measure 145mm(long) x 49mm(wide)x17mm)thick) but I also have much smaller 1000mah and 1300mah lipos that I use as receiver packs or powering LED's, winches etc

The one quoted in zero one website is the one I want to get but will be 2 tone until I get ukara licence

If I remember correctly, RC batteries have the tamiya plug wired the other way round. Airsoft the red always goes to the round. Just double check before you whack a high power pack into your new gun.

My big lipos have 4mm gold bullets on them but I would swap the mini tamiya connector to deans anyway as I could use my 4600mah nimhs instead

they do yes, they are wired the other way around. All you have to do is push the plugs out, a 5min job
