I can see the notch no problem. Its the actual fitment of the battery going in. Its too thick or something which is driving me insane.

If the notch is too narrow, remove the tube and hit it with a dremel.

Yep. Thats the next step which im trying to avoid but looks like I cant.

elite 9.6v battery can go all the way down the gas tube but its a tight fit

my g&p 9.6v only managed fit 2 cells

Oh yea.. The G&P cells are not 2/3

They're a tiny bit fatter and longer to make up for the extra MAH

Has anyone tried batteries from cheapbatterpacks? I have 3 Elites and they range from loose fit to not fitting.

I asked Crunchy a few months ago I believe, he recommended them.

Since were on batteries, can this gun handle LiPo's? (its the 400 fps version)

Thanks. Good to know.

I believe LiPo is alright with this. I was talking to a teammate about it and he said it would be fine. I never went through with it since I have to buy the LiPo and a new charger and at the time, getting RS mags were next to impossible.

I took it apart to see how the insides worked and such.

Thats as far as the battery goes right? The vented gas port section takes on a star shape on the inside and I dont think it goes that far. My main concern is having space for the connectors, doesnt look like there is much room
