3300mAh or 1500mAh?

Not just the motor, the gears and other mechanical components are at risk.

really? crap... what all is at risk? just so i know before i buy it all...

Styrak · September 6th, 2007, 19:27

What about your gears? And piston?

Spirit · September 6th, 2007, 19:32

tell me all of the parts i need to buy in order to not burn out anything with a 10.8v battery... i'm also considering a 9.6v, would that destroy everything as well? i just want to upgrade my battery, but if i really have to, i'll stick with an 8.4v battery

do AEGs use brushless motors or brushed motors? the new trend in electric RC cars is brushless and they produce TONS more torque than brushed and also are more efficient so they take less power too. they also require next to no maintenance, but i dont know if theres much maintenance for AEG motors anyways since i don't believe theyre constantly spinning like rc car motors are. if AEGs don't use brushless motors yet, i hope some companies are looking to use them soon.

OK, i need an answer relatively soon, will a 9.6v destroy my gun? i still plan on getting a new motor and spring, but will it destroy my gears and whatnot if i buy a 9.6v battery?

Theres this thing called google. It usually helps when you ask it a question...

Personally I think you should stick to a stock or pre upgraded gun until you learn a bit more about the internals.

Theres tons of things to read up on and you won't learn it all in one night.

Styrak · September 7th, 2007, 00:09

Most likely it would be fine, but I'm not that experienced so don't take my word for it. Most likely you would just wear out the gears or piston faster.
Also, I agree with TrueTGN: since you don't really know anything about upgrading a gun, DON'T.

Spirit · September 7th, 2007, 00:19

i wouldnt upgrade it myself, theres a place in town that will upgrade it for me, i just want to buy the upgrade parts myself, however, i now think i agree with you, i should probably wait, and attempt to understand modding and upgrading airsoft guns a lot more before i actually attempt to do it.

Pretty much the only thing that you can/should buy that will prevent the rest of the system from NOT eating the shit out of each other is a 450+ fps spring...

With a 9.6v battery, you're looking at a ~400fps setup.

If you want to be safe, get an 8.4v battery. Personally, I've run setups that have gone up to 430fps PERFECTLY with an 8.4v 2400mAh Ni-cad sub-C large battery pack. Beyond that, you can run such a setup with a 9.6v fairly safely, but I would HIGHLY recommend against 10.8v until you start going in to triple/ultra-torque gear sets with 450+fps springs.

The last time I used a 10.8v pack, was on a 550fps spring setup...

Spirit · September 7th, 2007, 18:44

OK, so to clarify, I'm buying a 390FPS spring, and your saying that an 8.4v battery is fine? or would it be fine to use a 9.6v battery with a 390FPS spring?

Regan.S · September 7th, 2007, 19:14

Basicly all the internals in your gun are at risk when running with a 10.2 volt battery at 3300mah. Just get a normal 9.6 volt battery and upgrade your internals.

Dude, you need to READ THE ENTIRE THREAD. You've done this at least 3 times, in 3 threads.
Maybe you can change your ways early, and contribute something useful?

ILLusion · September 7th, 2007, 20:37

A 9.6v battery is fine to power a 390fps spring.

Regan.S · September 9th, 2007, 02:13

3300mah if your internals can handle it.
