echo 1 master series lipo ready?

[Ha-y-n basterd]

Does anyone here have any experience with echo 1's master series? I was wondering if it's lipo ready? I had some guy tell me it is, but I wanted to ask the people here at AP before I went and bought one.

They are not lipo ready. I've worked with a guy that had one, and he's replaced a LOT of parts since stuff wears out and breaks in it. The metals and plastics are softer than in a higher end gun, so it wears a lot faster.

Depends what kind of lipo.

7.4 should be fine, same rate of fire as a 9.6 nimh.

Thank's for your help. I was asking cause I wanted to get the Echo 1 PEQ box that comes with the lipo. The PEQ box that came with the gun is kind of big and ugly. I think that Echo 1 lipo PEQ box looks more realistic and also has a functional laser. But anyway again, thanks for your help.
