I made the mistake of not looking at the C rating of a battery I ordered a few days ago, its a Intellect 11.1v 25C 3300mah LiPo Brick. I'm worried that it might be too much for my gun to handle. The gun I'm putting it into is a VFC m16. I'd like some second opinions on this as I've never used a battery this hot before in an AEG.

My personal take on it is that VFCs gear boxes are real tough, but that 25c rating might be pushing it. I'm more worried about the resistance in the wires resulting in over heating, but I plan to re-wire the gun with low resistance wires and deans connectors to help with the heat issue. If the motor height is in the sweet spot then it 'should' be okay to run in smei auto.

The gun is going to need a mosfet to further reduce the resistance and eliminate of arcing on the trigger contacts. I might as well throw that in while I re-wiring the gun.

Any how, what is your take on this issue?
