+1, it's not necessary, but it certainly doesn't do any harm to the battery to balance it every time either

It may not be necessary, but it's highly advised (safer). The 1 second it takes to plug in the balancing lead before the EC3 connector or deans or TRAXXAS or whatever you use is not so difficult as to prevent you from using it all the time.

Cactus, you need more ROF from your 249 :D lots lots lots more, just plug a 7.4v into the box mag to keep up with the RoF.

I`m not sure if this is the right thread to ask this but do you think that 11,1v 25C 5000 mAh Lipo would be a little overkill to a G36c with highspeed gears (SHS 16:1) and a SHS Ultra High Torque motor and a M120 spring (400fps) ? I wanna hear your opinions about this.

Not overkill, although running a M200 spring would probably get you a better result as your mags cannot feed fast enough to keep up with the gun cycling.

I think users forget that the motor SUCKS power from the battery at whatever rate it can handle. The battery does not just dump it's maximum load onto the system. If your system can only handle 40amp CDR, that's what the battery passes down.

my next question is so he's been running that for a year. how often is he playing? how much is he shooting? You can have a monster build that works great under workshop conditions, but craps out after "X" games or "X" rounds.

I know from personal experience that Genuine PTS Pmags with 0.40 weight BB's cannot keep up on to how fast the gun cycles (supposedly 1300RPM with the xortech chrono). The mags seemed to be able to keep up with .30 weights and lower.

I think you're right. 1500 just isn't enough. Both the gun and box are running off an 11.1v LiPo right now. Even 9v wasn't enough to get the box mag to keep up!
But I should totally get a dual sector gear, short stroke the piston, and run it at 3000rpm

I absolutely agree. All squad guns should be shooting 70BPS+. That should be the criteria for allowing box mags on guns. :p have you considered upgrading the motor on the box mag? I do have an extra magnum laying around.

The boxmag feeding system is all plastic gearing with a baby motor, already stripped one gearbox.
I was thinking of putting prometheus gears in with a G&P devil jet lol

Don't laugh, their is a guy in town who upgraded a ebaybanned "battleaxe" double M4 box mag with a set of gears from a RC car and a small brushless motor. The mag is capable of feeding at least 60bps probably higher.

At that rate you can start measuring in dollars lol
That's about $40/min
