CM16 Raider Crane Battery Dimensions

[Burny]

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with the dimensions of the battery compartment of a CM16 Raider, extensive Googleing hasn't yielded much usable info. I'm just about to do my first order and trying to marry up my RIF order from Patrol Base with a battery order from Hobbyking.

 

Looking at these batteries in particular.

 

Cheers!

You're basically looking for something that will fit in the stock tube for a rear wired gun like the Raider. I use one of these in my M4 stock tube: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2000mah-2s-15-25c-lipo-airsoft-pack.html

 

It's a snug fit but it's the same capacity as yours, I also have 1400mAh sticks that will fit fine but you'll be best off with two so you can swap at lunch time.

Does the raider have the G&G mosfet fitted? As that will reduce space in the stock tube. Will also affect which batteries you need.

Ah okay, I guess Patrol base put me off by saying it would require a crane battery rather than a single piece battery like the first one you linked, but definitely happy to be told either works.

I haven't ordered the 2.0 version so doesn't have a mosfet (as far as I know).

 

Cheers both

I have the normal 2.0, it's only the 2.0E that has the mosfet just so you know   Can't remember the name of the battery but I think it's an AP Racing crane battery I use but its 8.4V Nihm, not lipo for the simple fact I already have a few Nihm chargers and was being tight lol. If you don't plan to change the stock then you can get away with either a stick or crane battery.
