VFC 416 battery Li-Po suggestion?

<< < (2/2)

Knief:
Yeah, I actually bought that one because you had mentioned that it would fit in the stock tube.  It doesn't, but it does fit in the buffer tube so it's no big deal.  VFC updated the 416 at some point and my guess is that they went to a more correctly sized stock, which means it wasn't large enough to fit the lipo in the stock tubes.  As a comparison, my PTW has an oversized crane stock that will fit sub-c cells, but my old G&G M4's stock was smaller and only fit 2/3A.  I'm thinking VFC started with stocks that would fit the larger cells and then switched up for the version 2 416.

[edit] I just double checked.  That lipo does fit in my PTW's stock tubes and does not fit in my VFC 416's stock tubes.  If you wanted to run it in the stock tube, look for a crane stock that will hold sub-c sized cells.

Knife:
Yeah, I had a gen 1 VFC 416. It did also fit in a CA M4 that I tried last weekend, but it is Crazyman's old gun, so it is old as hell and things may have changed.

Knief:
I was thinking that CA's crane stocks fit (or at least, used to fit) sub-C cells, but I wasn't sure so I didn't want to say.  No idea if they still do, though.

Zzan:
These are the batteries I use.

The cells fit in the side tubes.  You can also get the same battery from Hobby King with a deans connector already attached instead of a small tamiya connector.
They are only 2s 7.4v though so if you are looking for 3s batteries I don't know if you can get away without putting something in the buffer tube as well.

They do make them with each cell being wrapped individually so that you could put one cell in each side tube and the third in the buffer tube.

Frag3K:
Thanks for the info gentlemen, your suggestions have helped greatly!
