Becoming LiPo ready.

MagicIRL

What parts would have to be upgraded in an m4 gearbox to allow it to use a LiPo?

1. What brand of part would you recommend I use for each part?
2. How many teeth should the piston have for an m4 gearbox?
3. What spring should I use for 1J or close to it?
4. What piston head would be strong enough for this new speed?
5. What brand gears would be best suited for the speed?
6. What motor combination would give the best semi-auto trigger response available?

Why exactly do you want to go to 11.1? Why not stay at 7.4? It'll last longer and save you having to pay crazy money for parts to handle the strain of 11.1v.

Sorry, I ment just LiPo ready. I don't care about the voltage of the battery.

If your AEG is a decent quality brand and has been running on 9.6v NiMh til now it should run fine on a 7.4v LiPo provided you don't go nuts on the mAh or C-rating.

If it's been running on 8.4v you would be better off listing what brand/model of AEG you have and the techie-heads on here will give you more detailed info on what may be required.

depending on what voltage and rating makes a massive differance to what you need to do if anything

a 7,4 12c ( about what some asg lipo are ) can be the same as a mini 8.4v , a 7.4v 20c 2000mha is about a 9.6v mini + , most aeg will of course run these without issue, if you looking to starting running 11.1v with 20c + ratings or 7.4 with massive c and mha ratings then you will need to make shore things like angle of engagement is correct to increase the life of your aeg

lipo ready is a horrible saying which as been used as a selling point by retailers far to much, a tm is lipo ready, just depends on the lipo being used

A friend once told me every gun is Lipo ready....... Until it breaks

Well they aren't Li-Po ready then are they? :rolleyes:

sorry should have explained better, we were out skirmishing one day and someone was telling us how he had upgraded his m4 to be completely lipo ready, listed all the upgrades done.
Later that day it broke, very very funny moment

What's his name? I have a bridge to sell him ...

As others have said already, unless he was running off an 11.1v LiPo, odds are he didn't need to upgrade much - if at all. I cringe at terms like "lipo ready"; it's like all those stickers you see on really sh1tty tv's in supermarkets/argos/etc. that are marked as "HDTV ready" when all they have is a HDMi connector but are of such low (digital) quality that you'd get little benefit out of them. It's just a catch-phrase to try and sell an idea to someone rather than a genuine, meaningful quantifier more often than not.

The term, 'LIPO READY' has more to do with the user than the aeg
