TM m4a1 battery

e30_325i · June 22nd, 2005, 19:13

I have a stock TM m4a1 and i feel that the 8.4v 600MAH battery is too small, is it possible to use a 9.6v 1100MAH nunchuck battery. would the battery fit in the handguards if i remove the fuse support.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

If your gun is 'stock', remember that it was designed to use 8.4 volts, not more.

yes nunchuck batteries fit inside a stock m4. 9.6 will increase your ROF.

I am by far not an expert on the subject, but I feel the following insights that I've discovered may help you.

A nunchuck battery should fit in the foregrips of an m4. As far as voltage is concerned, the extra voltage on the 9.6 will give your m4 a little more "snap" resulting in an increased RoF. The downside to this of course is that extra snap is additional strain on the internals of your weapon. If you plan on using the 9.6v battery, plan on upgrading plastic gears and bushing to metal ones at the same time and you should be fine.

Totally as a side note, unless you're the kind of person who likes to spray and pray, the increased RoF isn't a big selling feature. The fact is, you can play approximatly 2.5-3x longer with the nunchuck battery, which will make alot of difference in the field. If your main field is an indoor arena like XT here in Winnipeg, having a mini battery should be fine. Not only are indoor games shorter, but even if it does die in the fight, its only a couple steps away to a charging area.

VP: not trying to flame you or anything but FYI, there is no plastic gears in the mechbox.

Shutter · June 24th, 2005, 12:35

This is why I said I'm far from an expert. I assumed since everything I read says to get new metal gears, the original gears must be something other than metal.
(noob question)If they're metal gears already, whats the big deal about upgrading them?(/noob question)

Stock gears are made of some kind of aluminum alloy which is fine for stock springs and some upgraded springs. If you're planning to use heavier springs, replacing them with a steel alloy gear set would increase the resistance to wear and tear.

dont use higher voltage if your not gonna upgrade your internals, just throw away your crappy NICD and get a respectable one or BUILD your own, you can get TWO 1100MAH minis that are a direct replacement for your 600MAH for $32CDN SHIPPED

OR you can go to costco and buy 8 2300MAH NIMH AA Sanyo Cells and make a 7 cell battery for 20 dollars or less
