Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - WHat does a gearbox require in order to take a lipo?

Also, a "problem" with 11.1v in a low fps gun is that it tends to either precock the spring for the next shot OR double fire on single because the cut off lever is too slow. The spring also is a factor because if it's not pushing the piston to battery fast enough, then the motor could try to wind the next shot while the piston is moving forward, and crunch, you fried your piston and or gears.

7.4v lipos up to 400 are FINE and give a very nice ROF. I wouldn't personally want to use a 11.1v lipo in a gun shooting under 380. (even though I have an 11.1 in my Kraken shooting 330 and it's been running fine, 2,000 rnds later...)
