KWA M4-S

J-Man19 · August 3rd, 2008, 16:29

sorry if there is already a thread about this, but i couldn't find one.

I've got a KWA M4 on the way and I need to know what size battery and connector type I need. I know the KWA are lithium friendly but I'm looking for other options as well.

Thanks

KWA has both LiPo and mini connectors. You're looking for a standard NiMH mini pack.

J-Man19 · August 3rd, 2008, 16:34

ok, cool. What voltage am I looking for? I'm assuming 9.6V

The Saint · August 3rd, 2008, 16:38

I think even 8.4v would do, but KWA has a pretty hot spring so 9.6v probably wouldn't hurt.

Look for 1400mah and up, 2/3A cells. I personally prefer Intellect and Elite brand.

KWA has a high torque motor in it. It's so strong that you wouldnt even notice the trigger lag with a 8.4v mini. I was "wow"ed the first time I tried it. wait till u try it with a lipo...

one more question, looking and cant find an answer so ill ask here.

what kind of oil do i want for my guns.

SDS_ShooterMcGavin · August 4th, 2008, 15:47

Silicone Oil I believe

J-Man19 · August 4th, 2008, 15:50

anything more specific or just go to a hobby shop and ask for silicone oil?

ownzyouall · August 4th, 2008, 15:54

Nothing really. Hobby shops should all have them.

Silicon oil is for gbb's,should he not use white lithium grease on his gears,
and another form of lube for his piston?.I can't remember which grease
for the piston,it is somewhere in the Dr.'s corner.Propably stickied.

J-Man19 · August 4th, 2008, 16:14

i need oil for my gbb anyway, so ill pick some up. but if i remember correctly i want something lighter instead of heavier, is that correct?

If you use oil on your gears,it will run off or fly off in short order.
You need grease so that it stays on the gears.
