Battery compatibility for Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X-series

[marcusr]

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a Specna Arms Edge 2.0 X series AEG, probably the SA-X01.

 

I'm a little concerned about the tiny battery compartment, so have two questions.

 

1. What batteries do you all run in them? Do you recommend 7.4v or 11.1v? Keeping in mind I'll be using a lower power spring to keep it at UK limits, around 1.1J. I'd really appreciate if anyone could link to a battery that definitely fits the default battery compartment.

 

2. I've heard that SA offer an extension tube but I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere in stock. I've looked at a few 3D printed options. Does anyone have experience with any of these:

Thanks in advance!

Recommend 7.4v

 

ZeroOne suggests THIS one but its out of stock.

The dimensions are stated as 100x20x12 so look for something similar.

Though best if you can measure the space yourself.

 

3d printed extensions could work but you would probably have to try one out.  (I guess PLA is soft enough that it will hold any threading)

11.1v for me, stock performance is anaemic at best.

 

I say do NOT get the pdw stock version, it's heavy and has no advantage over a regular stock except for looks. Get the regular and swap the stock for a stubby fixed one, so you can run whatever battery you want.
