Are there any LiPo packs that would fit right inside the warp like a couple of 9v batteries? Like, just a drop-in replacement given a connection adapter.

forget the batteries...
forget the inductive charger...
run it on a little one cylinder gasoline engine, maybe a little noisy...Comment

Well, it's nice to see some other RC aficionados in here.
Most likely yes; the reason why they make lipo's in the first place is because it's a more flexible form factor, so they can make batteries fit the application.Originally posted by Justus
I don't know the dimensions inside the warp, but can't it hold like 4x AA's?
An AA can is 14.5mm x 50.5mm... So a quad would be at the very least least 29mm x 29mm x 50.5mm, if not a little larger with the casing overhead, etc. Someone should get the definitive measurements.
You literally have two options:
1. Find a Lipoly pack as others have suggested. 2200mah is a bit overkill; you can find a 3s pack in the 300-500mah range which should be a drop-in fit.

That should definitely fit; you could probably find some 400-500mah packs that might just fit (found some with 54mm x 31mm dimensions which should just fit).
2. They make lithium batteries in the 14500 (AA) size. I would actually go for 4x 14500 LiFePO4 batteries, which have less voltage but are usually more durable."Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.Comment

Okay so the LiPo batteries are a hit it seems.
What else can we think of?_______________________

where did we land on the brushless motor upgrade? they are far more power efficient, lighter and dont wear out... only tricky part would be finding the right match but im sure there is one out there.Comment

Point me in the right direction and ill look into it.Originally posted by sQuidvision
Tell me this though: compairing the original motor (which I assume is not brushless), what are the advantages over the new upgraded motor?_______________________

Also: that bushing on the motor that drives the warp gears is a bastard to get off.
I'm thinking its a pressed bushing and I would have to make them._______________________

thinking more about this, the lipo battery is going to be more than good enough to extend battery life. the warp uses a 280 or 300 size motor i think... they are dirt cheap and get the job done. also brushless are 3 pole motors, so you would need to build in a controller which would be much more complicated than whats needed to run the stock brushed motor.
Disregard my brushless suggestion!Comment

I've been running four rechargeable 3.7volt AA in a 4xAA holder and it had no issues keeping up with 25bps out my E and Mech Mags. Fully charged, the batteries were pushing 15.5 volts.
No mods what so ever done to the warp and a completely drop in mod (if you want to call it a mod)

Warning if you reverse polarity, even for a second with these higher voltages, blue smoke will appear.Fire power my friends.Comment

Ando I will give you a paypal gift of $20.00, if you make a video with a warp fed emag shooting a stream of 25 bps till thenOriginally posted by AndoI've been running four rechargeable 3.7volt AA in a 4xAA holder and it had no issues keeping up with 25bps out my E and Mech Mags.

Just putting this out there cause it was hard for me off a rotor to hit those speeds. Would like to see this.Comment

The warp will hit high 20s at 14 volts and allows the hopper to operate at freefall. I have gone so fast it would scare you with a 14 volt LiPo. I shoot 26 with a rotor and have gone faster with my warp.
Eventually I will get around to doing a video. So it is easily possible if you can tune a mag to shoot this fast.
Shooting 25 with a rotor is simple, put it on the marker, install 3 AA LiPo batteries from wallmart, go shoot that fast. Want to shoot 30s with a rotor? Put it on the marker, put in 4 AA LiPo batteries from wallmart, in series, and go shoot that fast.

This gauntlet is only for Ando..sorry Hill. If you would like to show a emag warp fed shooting 25 bps I would be interested in seeing it due to Ando probably wont respond.
Honestly I still havent even seen a video with a emag shooting on 24 bps besides my emag I was selling. Not trying to start stuff but just would like to see a warp spin that fast and shoot over 25 bps out off a emag not ego-mag etc, manual or auto like Ando said.Comment
