Well r4 and lipo's

[ikarma70]

Simple question, can you run a well r4 mp7 on a 7.4v lipo?

 

Thanks

Yes

[ikarma70]

The gears are strong enough ?

 

Just bought one and I really don't want to be restricted to the aep style battery.

Next time maybe just post in the quick question and simple answers thread? Lol

 

Yeah they should be fine, won't be under too much pressure with a 7.4 lipo

Thanks guys!

I've put one in a JG Vz61 Skorpion which is the same gearbox, although it is reputedly stronger. I also fitted an Gate Electronics Pico AB MOSFET - hey I'm planning to fit SHS gears and a magnesium alloy piston with a 130% spring and move up to 11.1V LiPo but may as well at least fit the Pico SSR 2 MOSFET while you're at it because you will have to cut away a lot of the plastic which holds the 7.2V stock battery in place in order to get a LiPo in there, so you'll have the room.

 

The pisser is that there really isn't enough room to fit heavier gauge wiring, although I'm considering doubling up with standard thin insulation 20 gauge...

I'm using a small peq box to house the battery giving more flexibility.
