Pinkfloyd Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well, I'm looking at upping my ROF on my FAMAS to levels previously advised dangerous. My questions are twofold: will a FAMAS hold a 10.8v 4/5C large battery, and if so, do any of yall think this will kill my gun if I only use quick bursts? I've hooked up a homemade Burst-fire chip and it's working well on a 9.6v, but I want to up it to a 10.8v. Thanks, ~Floyd Link to post Share on other sites
edd.roadrunner Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Im not sure if Ten cells will fit. and higher voltages kill guns. Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 A mini 10.8v cells will fit, but it will rip your gun to shreds. The FAMAS was built to use a 7.2v battery, and TM internals aren't very good at using higher than their build specs. Some made for an 8.4 can use a 9.6v, but it majorly cuts down reliability. Since a famas was made for 7.2, a 10.8 would be like running a TM M4 on a 12v. I very highly suggest not doing it. Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking for a true 3-shot-semi tho, so I wanted to try a 10.8v. Thanks anyway. ~Floyd Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the link right now (I'[m on windows, the link is on by ubuntu install ) but there's a documented example of a guy ROF-whoring a TM M4 S-System, including a 12v battery. The internals were fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 But the FAMAS is a special kind of TM gun when it comes to gear ratio, motor and ROF. The motor is high torque, the gears high-speed. This results in a ROF at 1.000 rounds per minute using an 8,4V battery. There is no manual or other confirmed information the FAMAS was designed for 7,2 V batteries. Increasing the FAMAS ROF to a higher ROF just by using a stronger batterie will kill your piston within 10.000 rounds.....by ripping of the first teeth. This is normal for standard pistons in ultra high-speed weapons. Get a re-inforced one and you should be fine Link to post Share on other sites
Anachronism327 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 yea, the famas just running an 8.4v is literally throwing ropes of bbs. I just picked up a used one and it's got a damn high rof... Looking at a the manual, it says that the Famas takes a 8.4v... Link to post Share on other sites
socomsar Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 The Famas only has an eg560... the reason for that awesome rate of fire is the high speed gears it comes with. The version 1 mechbox rarely gets damaged or broken cause they're practically indestructable. So my recommendation if you really really want to do this is to get another set of gears, and maybe switch out the motor for a newer one, like eg 1000 (goes for about 35 american) so that you have a more durable motor, and you could replace the gears if they break (and, logic would imply, go back to a lower voltage) Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Short type motors will not fit into the V1 gearbox without larger modifications And you will hardly find gears with a lower ratio than the FAMAS gears..... Link to post Share on other sites

Pinkfloyd Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I just borrowed my teammate's 10.8v battery for a quick test on my FAMAS, and it worked, albiet it did not result in the result I wanted. I have been using a 9.6v, and the difference wasn't all that great. The gun did, however, jam within a few rounds and i decided that it just wasn't worth trying to force the poor thing.

jdk 360 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 the only gun i no of that can take a 10v battery and higher is the VFC ak47n Link to post Share on other sites
lewis hiscock Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 and some armalites, hence he availability of a PEQ with 10.8 battery built in Link to post Share on other sites
