Hi all,
I dropped a M120 spring into my G&G GR16 Carbine, and using an Intellect 9.6v 3000mAh battery, it only pulled the spring about 10 times (sounding VERY labored) and then died. It also smelled like it cooked my battery, and the battery felt VERY hot to the touch (hotter than playing a few games in the summer hot) after it died. I haven't tried the battery again but I'm pretty sure it's out of commission.
My question is: is the issue my battery or motor? I've read that G&G stock motors can pull M120 springs on airsoftGI reviews, and I'm confident my battery just couldn't take it.
Should I look into buying a 10.8v 2200-3500mAh battery? Do I need to upgrade to a high-torque motor?
Thanks!
