Powerful LiPos I Have Known and Loved

we had a greylocks symbol at one point incase somebody needed flaming lol

It comfortably fits in the stock of a G&G RK-103 with tons of room to spare. I think there's enough room for a few sticks of jerky, a MOSFET and perhaps a glowstick.

This is a pretty impressively slim form factor for so much capacity and oomph.

I looked at that but the 11.1 version is too big to fit.

Dat mAh..
I'm using a 11.1v 3200 mAh 35C lipo from team great hobbies (well I haven't shot it yet, but its sitting - waiting for the gun to be finished).

I currently run a Team Great Hobbies 11.1v 50C 3300mAh in my M16. Barely fits in the stock with the wiring. This is massive lipo overkill to be running on a mostly stock gearbox. But with proper shimming and tuning nothing bad has happened yet. Does about 20rps on the stock gears and motor using a Bravo III mosfet for control.

I'm also using a Team Great Hobbies 7.4v 35C 2200mAh in my ICS CXP08. It goes in a Cyma PEQ-2 battery box with room left over for your excess wiring. Haven't had a chance to run it in a game yet.

Why not just use one of these and crank your gear ratio up?

With a decent motor the 7.4 I posted will turn your gears effortlessly at pretty much any spring strength and any gear ratio.

BLASPHEMY!

High speed gears only work with 11.1v lipos. Nothing else



The poor 7.4v saddle pack looks so slim...

Yep, these are the Aspec batteries I am running right now, more power!!!!!!!!
Last a whole day in the cold no issues at all in my AK

That's... a massive battery, you know?

Edit: Any way to fit one of these 7.4v batteries in an external box, no way it'll fit in a G36c if I were to try.

You could try a KV stock.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: M190, 13:1 ratio.

Going to try an M170, 20:1 ratio this weekend on a 1300mah 25C. LOL.

Hah. The problem with a build like this is that it's pretty useless/academic . Realistically at the places we play at with Maddog , an M140, maybe M150, is the upper range of what is going to be allowed. I'm pretty confident really high discharge batteries make high voltages superfluous .. I'm running into this myself. I have been toying with a ~500fps build that still is too high of a rate of fire to be reasonable, this with my 6.0/40+/2S. In light of this: Why waste the extra use of volume on volts when you could be optimizing for Amperes?

Counter challenge : find an unusually high discharge (150A) pack that's only one cell. Throw high speed gears, neodymium, a strong spring and all the rest at it . Conventional wisdom says we don't go there ... Why not ?

A cursory look at hobby king shows plenty of packs at 3.7V with monster C values. John, you know you're tempted to do the low rpm ultra diesel torque build of airsoft

(and give it the fastest gear ratio on earth)

I would like to see someone try and wrestle a m190 into a mechbox without an explosion of parts, film it if you try.
