Battery and charger for G&G GC16 please?

[lazerkid]

Would this be ok to fit in the GC16? http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F67911%5F%5FKing%5FArms%5F120rounds%5Fmetal%5Fmagazines%5Ffor%5FMarui%5FM4%5FM16%5FAEG%5Fseries%5FBlack%5FEU%5FWarehouse%5F.html

I think youve broken the duck.

 

Why would you want to buy mags from Hobbyking ?

 

Why dont you just buy some G&G mags - at least you know they should work.

 

Theres plenty of choice if you have a google.

I was reading through this thread as I have a GC16 Predator on the way and I wasn't able to see some of the batteries.

 

Can someone let me know what the best power to use is, as I read that G&G say you can use a 11.1 1300mAh 15c but no higher or it voids your warranty.

 

However I was keen to see what you folks are suggesting, as I dont want to kill my Predator through using an OP battery.

 warranty.

 

 

That said, I got bad overspin with an 11.1V high-mAh high-C battery, so unless you're rocking a MOSFET, ideally with active braking, I'd stick with 7.4V and keep it down to something modest like 1400mAh / 15/25C, e,g. buy 2 of these rather than 1 of something bigger.

Something else to bear in mind with 11.1V is that you'll have to fit one of the cells down the buffer tube which can be tricky.

I see so warranty is a bad word 🤑

 

Ok that aside I have run into the whole trying to wedge a battery into a stock, it is a pain nothing seems to fit 😂

 

But I will take a look at the smaller 7.4s

I hasten to add, just my personal preference after having a sad day with a big 11.1V.  Some folk get on fine with them, even without MOSFETs or mods.

 

Worst case, you can lop a cell out of an 11.1V and with a bit of soldering end up with a usable 7.4V plus a sad, lonely nobody-loves me cell.

[TommoThomson]

Yeah I won't be doing that 😂

[Rogerborg]

Not my proudest moment, but at least I eventually got a usable battery out of it.

I would say that was a life hack, you got things working so you could play on 👍
