Jimbodini42 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi I’m getting my new TM Recoil Sopmod this week and the shop have said they can convert the battery connections so I don’t need to buy the expensive TM crane battery and can instead use other batteries. In terms of reliability and strain on the Rif is this a good idea? It won’t affect the gearbox or motor or anything? The shop suggested a 7.4v Li-Po which suits me as they are cheaper and have higher MaH. They haven’t mentioned whether to change to Deans or normal connection - any input on this? Should I have it changed or am I better to stick with the TM battery? Also are there any performance gains from one battery or the other? Apologies but the battery concept has changed a lot since I quit the hobby and I’m only slowly getting back into it. Any other suggestions or comments are most welcome.

Supporters Druid799 Posted September 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted September 5, 2018 What he said , it’ll be absolutely fine on a 7.4 lipo (I now run all mine on 9.9 LiFe) and ideally I’d get the shop to hard wire a deans to the stock tube and not the stock connectors so you can run any stock you want on it (so you can ‘dress it up’ like specific guns not just a generic sopmod) not just the TM cranestock it comes with . its what I do with all my rear wired recoils when I get a new one . 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbodini42 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks guys! Obviously the TM Sopmod battery fits snuck into the stock - recommend any shape battery so there’s no loose movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
