I have a tm ak47 that i upgraded with guarder ftk and guarder infinite torque motor. Now not any of my battery can full the gearbox even with a 9.6 on full charge it feels like the motor is having a hard time spinning. I borrowed my buddys 11.1 lipo and the ak seems like its back to life. Now i wanna use the lipo what do i need to upgrade in my gun, i heard mosfet but what else. Thanks.

You probably have too tight shimming...

Make sure the angle of engagement (AoE) on the first tooth of the sector gear and first tooth of the piston is spot on. You can search around for more information if you're not sure what all that means, there's a lot out there on AoE. Second, make sure your gears are shimmed very well as well as adjust for proper motor height. Lastly as well as optional, a MOSFET. Realistically you don't need anything fancy, just something to keep your trigger contacts from arcing.

None of that information is new, and there is A LOT more out there and in more detail if you need help.

So i am not suppose to be using the lipo then in the first place. But i like how light the battery is. My question really is can i safely run this lipo? Airsoftextreme did all the work for me so im guessing they made the shim too tight or they did something wrong. Thanks

Not being able to look inside the gun makes it very difficult to say if you should or shouldn't use an 11.1v lipo. If you follow the steps in my first post, I feel that it would extend the life (of just about any AEG) while running a lipo. You should try emailing airsoftextreme, probably the fastest way to get your gun running how you want it.
