tweaked_tim Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Would I be an idiot trying this? I figure since the gearbox will be built up, it should work, or would 9v be better? Link to post Share on other sites
CSAirsoftJunkie Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 The 9.6 should be ok. Someone on ASR ran a 11.1v in an A&K Saw and the piston stripped after 200 rounds. Link to post Share on other sites
perr_mike Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 At 12v's you may struggle to get the box mag to keep up. My Star doesnt even like 9.6v much. Link to post Share on other sites
WaWa Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 At 12v's you may struggle to get the box mag to keep up. My Star doesnt even like 9.6v much. I've had nothing but problems with mine running an 8 cell.... goes through pistons like it does bb's! I'm going down to a 7 cell and polycarb piston next..... wawa Link to post Share on other sites
tosuzu Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I read your review about you using a ~11v lipo setup and was wondering which brand of M249 do you have and what is your setup inside? (Infected speaking) Ah, my M249 how I've learned a lot on this gun. It's an A&K (Echo1 same thing), M249 Para. Internals: Stock barrel Element Red Hop up unit Custom Hop nub (made from some insulation from 16 gauge silicone insulated wiring) Stock air nozzle Stock cylinder head Prometheus POM Piston Head (bearings removed) Element bearing spring guide Prometheus Piston Element standard gears 16 gauge wire from cheapbatterypacks.com Mosfet with Breaking (I sell these units see my website for more info: http://infectedairsoft.wordpress.com/item-...aking-circuit/) Reshimed Lubed with dry Moly lube Guarder High Speed Motor (about to swap out for a Guarder High Torque which was ordered friday) Madbull M120 spring Thunder Power 11.1v 2200mAh 3s 25c lipo pack (fits in the stock forgrip no problems even with my mosfet unit up there) If you're looking for a good place to buy lipo's from, I highly recommend http://www.rclipos.com . Pat is awesome at customer service. Let me know if you have any other questions about my setup. I forgot to mention in my other reply that I upped the voltage in the box mag to 6v (added 2 AA batteries), so it would feed faster. I also added UV led's to get the tracer effect, and ordered a tappet plate delayer (by element) to increase feeding consistency Link to post Share on other sites
infected Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Fyi guys, lipo's come in 3.7v cells, so your choices are 3.7v, 7.4v, and 11.1v. Of course you could try a 14.8v if you're crazy . but you can't find a 12v Li-poly. Link to post Share on other sites
muckymick Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I use 11.1v lipo in mine and it work's perfectly same as my team mate's ,got them when they were first releases and only every run them on lipo's as the stock battery is rubbish Link to post Share on other sites

evansy Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 A freind of mine runs his A&K on a 10.8v Ni-MH and the only mods he made was to take the spring out and cut a couple of coils off to drop it to under 350fps and replacing the wiring with 16 guage silicone wire with deans connectors. The box mag on the other hand is a whole different story. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I run my A&K MK1 on 11.1v lipo and it is stock aside from a sector delay chip and a softer spring to bring it down to 330 fps Link to post Share on other sites
