I got sick of my 9 volt revvy and am too cheap to buy a 12v. Soooo. i took a RC boat battery and did some stuff..

Revvy on gun with mods.

Ah... You should put a 4 arm prop in there from a 12 volt.

Wire it to your car..imagine the run time.;)

i think its a 9.6v RC battery so probably no. Upside is conversation factor and you dont have to buy new batteries. Downside is weight, looks, and nothing much else.

Hey...where did you get that thing that fits like a 9v Battery in the door, but has the leads go through to the battery?

i made something like this before into an old hopper, but i used a comptuer fan, low torque, high speed. Fed the last 10 balls like a dream!

actually im thinking about doing this for my warp when I go to a scenario game this summer. My warp eats batteries. I might also have anotherone for my hyperframe. (not to mention Im going to build my own custom size hopper- 400 rounds :))

-well me and my dad made it.... he figured out something about how the amprage is greater while the voltage is the same. and that battery looking thing is made of some square plastic pipe like stuff with the wire to conect to the battery epoxyed in, with 2 pieces of contact metal... ( in this case braided wire from an old TV)... it is a 9.6 volt radioshack RC battery. il see if i can make up a step by step instructions for the battery adapter thing if you want?

I hooked up and RC battery to my warp, and it made Magic Blue Smoke (TM).

Pyro totally fried his Warp doing the same thing.

I still don't know why, they were both 9.6V batteries, but it DID damage the warp.

Thordic, sounds like you had the Polarity wrong. 9.6V is fine for a warp, but if you have a short or the wrong polarity....Out comes the Magic Blue Smoke(tm)

looks like it would weigh a ton.

ya its top heavy... but im used to it, cause i run a remote i dont have a tank to ballence it out. but a stock might help a little.....

Thordic you musta gotten the polarity wrong.... i hope you didnt do any serious damage.....




( Hey heres a disclaimer..... If you try this and screw something up...it aint my fault...
