The front of the mechbox is likely the first to suffer a crack or break entirely, right at the cylinder/head joint.

And it's the current needed to run your motor, not the voltage. The voltage level will determine bas run speed (no-load), but it's the current that's needed to effect start-up and running of the motor. A 12v 1100mah battery will have exactly the same available current as an 8.4v 1100mah battery. As the battery cells are connected in series, the current cannot increase, but voltage is additive.

In a different battery scenario where cells are connected in parallel, current would be additive and voltage remains the same. But this is NOT recommended in battery construction as any voltage differences between cells = voltage potential which will cycle between the cells. This will end up killing dead all connected cells.

So standard series wiring is used as there is no potential between cells, but you are limited in current delivery. Try a bigger battery (mah rating not voltage) and see how your gun performs.
