Max voltage

[Ironmonkie]

First of, I did a Bing search on this, and can't find an answer. I'm trying to find the maximum voltage a Lonex A-2 can handle. I'm building a DSG, and I plan on using a Lonex A-2, MOSFET, and a 14.8 volt LiPo, but I want to make sure the motor can handle it.

The motor can handle it but you're going to shred your gearbox in a very short time.

Volts is your horse power. Most gearboxes aren't designed to take that stress, combined with using a heavy spring, you'll be stripping gears and blowing up gearboxes pretty regularly.

Go with a 7.4v or 11.1v LiPo.

Stripped many a piston, but only 1 gear, and that was an OE MTC gear. I'm sure the gears will be fine with the motor and DSG, I just don't want to cook the motor because of the large battery.

If you are comfortable with taking apart a gearbox then go for it. If you are going for a high ROF, you should keep a dual sector gear setup with an 11.1v, people get insane ROF with those on 11.1's already. And you are going to be limited by the feeding speed of your mags. Otherwise try and get a mosfet that allows you to tune your ROF. So you dont strip your piston, but you retain the snappy trigger response of a high voltage battery.

What's your goal, or intention? I hope the answer is "for lolz"

A few years back I was running a KWA M4 with an 11.1, it was shooting over 20 rounds per second and 400 fps. Velocity was at the legal limit, and ROF was almost inconveniently high.

I'm unsure what practical advantage a 14.8 would offer, especially if you integrated the DSG setup.

Your second judgement error was using Bing

Anyways, post a vid of your creation! Stuff like that is always fun to look at.

If its fortehlulz then you should use a 44.4v

I actually play out doors, at Ballahack in Virginia (Tim Vs Bob 4.5 was played there). My goal is to have a very high ROF to defeat the brush at this field, while maintaining close to 400 FPS. There is no ROF limits at this field, and the max FPS for an AEG that is not used as a sniper rifle is 425 FPS. I will be using a MOSFET, most likely a Cheetah 2N from Extreme-Fire. I already run an external battery, so I'm not worried about the size of the MOSFET, I have the entire battery compartment to work with. I'm no stranger to soldiering, and will probably soldier the motor connectors, and use the largest wire I can use with the Cheetah.

What's wrong with Bing? Oh, don't worry, I'll have a video of it on my YouTube channel!
